Wonderful lipstick, smooth and comfortable!, September 25, 2007
I got the Rose Crepe color and it IS PERFECT! This stuff glides on soft and smooth, wears like your fav lip balm. You know how lipstick can feel gooey or cloggy on your lips after awhile. This stiff is not like most lipsticks. My lips feel like they are wearing nothing at all, just smooth and soft. The color really does last for a long time sort of fades away into a nice berry stain so there's none of that awkward half on, half off lipstick look that you might get with most lipsticks. The best lip product I have ever tried. The color is perfect for me too, I think Rose Crepe would look good on most skin tones (I'm Black with lighter skin) since it pretty much matches what most people's lip color looks like anyway, just darker for a "bitten" look.

Lovely shimmer and shine, good wear, quality ingredients, and a few standout shades, April 11, 2010
I'm a lip gloss junkie. I have boxes and boxes chock full of all sorts of glosses. It's like a disease. :) My fave are NARS and MAC, but I like these natural line of BE glosses a lot. They have this particular shimmer that's different than the others I have (I assume it's the minerals glinting). Pomegranate is my fave of the line as it's a flattering rich berry shade on my medium-dark olive coloring.
Many of these BE Natural glosses have very little actual color. The Sangria has so little pigment, it's more like a nude gloss on me. The Pomegranate, however, has nice pigmentation. Spice Cake is my second fave color (after Pomegranate), and it's a warm reddish brown that is medium-level pigmentation, neither too dark or light. It gives a nice swash of warm red-brown, earthy shade combined with that lovely mineralish shimmer. Good for darker ladies as well as warmer toned lighter ladies.
If you love glosses--and not everyone does--you might wanna try these. The scent is like a bakery vanilla (not as nice as the MAC vanilla cake scent, but it's fine). It's durability is fine and it has a nice thickish consistency. (I hate runny glosses.) It's shimmer is pretty and makes lips look plumper. The cupuacu butter keeps lips nicely moisturized. It contains no pthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, syntehtic dyes, or sulfates--which is a good thing.
A good product for gloss lovers. If only they could get more shades with higher pigmentation.

Good enough, but not great, January 10, 2009
I own this lipstick in Italian Ice and really love the color. However, this lipstick is difficult to apply. It goes on very dry - not creamy and smooth at all. Once on, it stays in place and the color stays true for a long time, but it is so dry that my lips start to chap by midday. So I've started using a clear gloss over the top just to add a bit of shine and moisture. I'm not sure I'd buy this product again, given the price. I have much less expensive lipsticks from drugstore brands that I like much better and that don't dry my lips.
