I am so obsessed with Besame Cosmetics! Being a massive fan of Old Hollywood it's no wonder I adore their concept! 1930s Mascara (as it is now being called, they have dropped the 'Gingerbread' in...

I don't get all the hate of this product. I love it. I love the gingerbread scent although it isn't strong. This mascara does not clump and makes my lashes super long. It is a mascara that gives...

The one I have is simply "1930s Mascara". I like that there are only 7 ingredients in this. This is not meant as a volume or thickening mascara-it is based on vintage mascara. I enjoy the...

As I don't live in the USA, I ordered this online on a whim when Besame were changing their stock around and I needed to stock up on some of their other products. When my package arrived I was...

No smell, very black in coloring, but didn't do anything for my lashes even after using 3 coats. With one coat of other mascaras, I have long lush lashes so I know it's this mascara. Loved the...

I bought this because I'm a whore for anything vintage or vintage-esque, and because I have a horrible time with mascaras irritating my eyes (flaking and fibers). I love the red and gold metal...

Not impressive, too natural looking for my taste--not enought length or volume. I gave this to my mom. What a waste of money!

Awhile ago I ordered from Besame, but never tried this mascara. Now that I'm on a no buy, I can't rebuy my fav (Clinique) and instead shopped my stash. This is a very lightweight mascara that...

I'm very reluctant to pan this mascara because the packaging is sooooooo darn pretty, but unfortunately, thats about as far as I can go with this one. I find the initial effect underwhelming at...

I love this product! Like a lot of us I bought during the sale so it was much less expensive than normal price, but I like it so much I might consider buying at full price in the future. I'm...

Ah, Besame. I love this stuff. However, gingerbread? What gingerbread? Mine smelled vaguely old (that paint thinner-ish smell) and I thought, perhaps I had received an older tube. I think...

This is a very good mascara for it's simple ingredients and "natural" preservative system (the "parfum composition" in the ingredients list). It's not as thick or waxy or clumpy as typical...
