In honor of the 80th anniversary of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” Bésame Cosmetics (a vintage inspired line of reproduction makeup products) has partnered with Disney to create a special line of beauty products inspired by the original artwork and color palette of the iconic film.
We recently invited Heidi Cox, Christina Desiere, and Kate Le to try out and show off the lip balm trio which is named and scented to remind you of the pies she baked for her friends, the seven dwarfs.
The 3 scents include
Cherry Pie (red),
and apple pie (a light shear pink).
Each comes in a cute little unique tin adorned with a different portrait of Snow White. The lid says the name of the scent going around the side – while the base shows a graphic print of the fruit – a detail I missed when first unboxing these.
Each set of 3 lip balms costs $18.95 and can be purchased from ShopDisney. They are made in the USA using the following ingredients: Petrolatum, Octyldodecanol, Beeswax (Cera Alba), Polybutene, Paraffin, Phenoxyethanol, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Seed Oil, Flavor, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate. MAY CONTAIN: +/- FD&C Red No. 7 Lake (CI 45410:2) D&C Red No. 27 Lake (CI 45410) FD&C Yellow No. 5 Lake (CI 19140) Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)
Here they are on left to right…
1.) Bare Lips 2.) Apple Pie 3.) Gooseberry Pie 4.) Cherry Pie
My honest opinion on these…
Colors: They have very little pigment as you can tell the apple has next to no pigment, the gooseberry is extremely subtle and the cherry is a little more.
Scents: The Apple Pie – doesn’t really smell like apple or pie just sweet. The Gooseberry – smells fruity – I’ve never had gooseberry pie so hard to judge. The Cherry Pie – Reminds me of Ludens Cough Drops from childhood – sweet cherry scent.
Flavor: No flavor at all
Moisture: These pack a punch – 12 hours later my lips feel super soft, smooth, and amazing. Probably best lip balm I’ve ever used. I’m so surprised at how great these are! I’ve never used Besame products before but if they are all like this – I’m excited to try more.
Which scent are you most excited to try?
