VS Makeup Be mine Lipstick
The Summer Season: VS Makeup Be Mine Lipstick
VS Makeup Be Mine Perfect Lipstick ($12.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a creamy, brightened watermelon pink. It’s totally opaque, and it wears well–a nice three to four hours before it starts to fade. It has a soft, glossy sheen but no shimmer. VS Makeup Lipsticks are sleeper hits, in my opinion, because they really have amazing texture, color pay off, and wear.
Is this the right pink lipstick for you? Would you wear it?
The Summer Season is a series of posts featuring bright, vibrant shades of coral, orange, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for a summer of fun — that runs through July 2010.

Lovely colour! I might wear that.
I have this bright orange one by Bourjois as well.
$12?! I really need to go on holiday to the US and stock up!!
Love it ! really suits your skin tone..apperantly not the best for darker skins
So pretty! How would you say it compares to Laura Mercier’s Hydrangea? The photos look very similar to me, and Hydrangea has been hard for me to get a hold of!
Hydrangea is darker, deeper. They are similar, but Hydrangea is definitely deeper and glossier!
wow that’s really pretty!! it looks really similar to guerlain giulette…or is a bit brighter?
Giulette is a lil’ redder in its pink and has more of the gold sheen/shimmer – they are close!
I’ll have to check this out! I bought Giulette last week, and it’s too red on my rosy lips. Does Sephora accept returns if the product has been used?
Yes!
gah! i need this! =]
Looks good! 🙂 at first i thought it kind of reminded me of Chanel Phoenix Rouge Allure Laque……
What brand is VS Be Mine?
Victoria’s Secret!
Ooh, I like!
Looks bright and perky!
You look so pretty wearing it, Christine. 🙂
Thanks so much, Wendy 😀
Very nice color. Seems similiar to revlon’s matte pink about it.
this l/s looks so pretty on you….would not look good on my tan skin for sure 🙁
Aww!
I agree, VS Lipsticks are wonderful. The colors are gorgeous (Scrumptious, a soft peach, is a fave) and I love the way they feel on the lips. Bonus: no scent or taste whatsoever!
Leaving it! Because we don’t have access to Victoria Secret stuffs here in Hong Kong.. Too bad.. 🙁
I Have this color–I really love it! It’s amazing for summer, and the quality is great.
This one is really pretty. So pink and summery. It looks really creamy too.
Damn, i wish there were nice brands like VS in the netherlands.. 🙁 Or even a walmart!
It looks like impassioned from mac!
Looove this. I might just have to order it.
VS makeup is totally underappreciated. I am a big fan of their glosses and their lip pencils are great too! I need to branch out and try a lipstick. Their eyeshadows have great pigment too!
I just wish their testers didn’t look like hell on earth in-store 🙁 I’m totally icked out by them, lol!
I agree!
Please, please, please swatch or review Victoria’s Secret lip products more often! I think they’re incredible and I’d really like to know more about them.
I’ll try!
wow this is a beautiful color!
Great great color…never tried VS beauty but I’ll have to give these a look next time I’m at the mall (or….now, online hehehe)
Ooooh I LOVE this! How does it compare to MAC’s Show Orchid? Are they similar?
Nah, Show Orchid is wayyy more fuchsia/purple!
I need to go pick this up 🙂 Very pretty color! any other colors you recommend?
thanx so much for promoting victoris secret makeup. i love that brand, they sure stepped up since they repromoted their makeup line , bc before it was crap. i luv their e/s and lipsticks. canu please do a review on some of their other items with swatches, thanx!
I love this color. How does this compare to MAC Chatterbox lipstick??
A lil’ less dark pink.
sooo cute!!
i normally don’t opt for such strong shades as this, but since it’s summer, i say bringg it on! xP
i’d pair these lippies with a bold stroke of a waterproof liquid eyeliner and i’m so ready for summer!
ey… it´s lovely i can´t get it here in mexico is sad
You have AMAZING lips! And this color emphasizes them, looks great!
Thanks, CB!
Love this pink, so vibrant! Totally calling my name 🙂
I love this color!!!
This is a really pretty pink! Love the color on you 🙂
definitely want to try one of these!
I have been lusting after this lipstick since this particular post showing it first went up…and still haven’t gotten it. I’d like to go get it this weekend, but don’t really know how well it would work with my coloring. I’m quite fair with warm undertones, I just don’t know if this would look garish. Guess there is only one real way to find out!
Love it!! Thank goodness we have a VS makeup counter.
Did VS repackage their lipsticks? I just bought Be Mine today and I noticed yours is in a silver tube and mine’s in a black plastic one. The packaging seems kinda flimsy to me, but oh well. Be Mine is a gorgeous color and I wouldn’t have ventured out into VS makeup if it weren’t for your blog. Thanks, Christine!
Mine was a sample, so maybe that is why it looks different!
Pictures can be deceiving so would you say this is a warm or cool toned pink in person?
A little cool-toned!
wow i need to pick this color up, such a good price for a beautiful color!! this is deff. my summer color 🙂
