Edward Bess and his Boxed Beauties


Part of the recent release from Edward Bess is the boxed set containing three new shades of Ultra Slick Lipstick. And ultimately, all are absolutely stunning! They are romantic shades of nude and rose of a French love affair. With names like Demi Buff, Blush Allure and Rose Demure you can’t help but fall in love with the little beauties housed in the little black box.




The shades seem to resemble each other quite closely when seeing them in the tubes; however each has a distinct shade difference when worn. This is Edwards’ first collection to contain all nude shades, and while most nudes have to be worn carefully and might not be a good fit for all skin tones, this is fantastically done. It’s a nude collection with neutral undertones so most skin tones can sport any of the shades. The tube is a bit different from his other lippies, they are square this time. I’m not sure if this is a prelude to a packaging change or a special design for just this collection but they are sleek and modern none the less. The formulation is nothing less than you would expect of Mr. Bess, smooth and creamy with just the right amount of shine.

I recently introduced a friend to the Edward Bess line and told her to start out with a lipstick and she would not be disappointed. I warned her that this would be the beginning of something wonderful and somewhat of an addiction. She informed me later that I was right; she loved the lipstick and was now onto the other wonderful products in the line. I warned her, but what a great thing to become addicted to, right?
