Besame Red Lipstick -a cool red Inspired by a lipstick shade from 1920, the beginning of a decade when women started to express their own identities, shortening their hair and hemlines. This was one of the first colors Gabriela found in her search to match vintage cosmetics for modern wear and it has been our staple red ever since.

Please note: ALL COSMETICS ARE FINAL SALE

All Besame color lipsticks are true replicas of shades from the past and searched out by the founder Gabriel through actual vintage makeup to pick out particular colors that speak to her and truly represent the years they were produced. High quality and encased in a red and gold lipstick bullet inspired by the tubes of the 1940s and a classic lipstick shape designed for both form and function. Use the sharp tips to line lips and the blunt side to fill in color. Blot once or twice with tissue for long-lasting wear.

Prior to ordering, if you are unsure of sizing or fit of an item please contact us with your measurements, etc. and we will help you select the right size so as to avoid a potential return.

Items Applicable for Return/Exchange

Items that were purchased at regular price, are unworn, and unwashed (including dry cleaning) with tags still attached and/or any manufacture packaging.

Items Not Applicable for Return/Exchange

All sale items, discounted items of over 10% through use of a coupon code, intimates (such as underwear, bras, leggings, stockings, socks, bathing suites, shape wear, cosmetics, hair scarves), earrings due to health reasons, seasonal merchandise (such as ornaments, cards, and calendars) are FINAL SALE.

Items that have been washed*, altered, have odour (cigarette, perfume, deodorants, pets, etc.), have stains, or are incomplete will not be entitled to exchange or web store credit and will be shipped back to you at your cost. If you cannot be contacted within 30 days for return shipping payment, the item will be donated and no exchange/credit will be issued.

* If an item is washed and a defect found (such as colour bleeding), the item will only be accepted as a return in the event that the manufacturer admits a defect. It is recommended to follow care instructions as directed on the label - most items require either cold water wash (with a good quality detergent) or dry cleaning. Allowing items to sit in wash water, or while wet, can lead to colour bleeding. If you are concerned an item may experience colour bleed (black and white, white and red, etc.) please use a colour catcher.
If an item is damaged after using a dry cleaning service, the dry cleaning service is responsible for your item.
Certain fabrics will experience characteristic wear and tear (rayon may pill from rubbing, etc.) which is typical for that fabric - we are not responsible for wear and tear on items. Using items such as a clothes razor can help bring an item to its former glory.
If you have any questions or concerns in regards to long term care for an item please contact us.
