'Bésame Mucho' is a Spanish-language song written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez in 1940. According her states, she wrote this song even though she had never been kissed yet at the time, and kissing as she heard was considered a sin.
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a tenerte,
perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a tenerte,
perderte después
Quiero sentirte muy cerca
mirarme en tus ojos
verte junto a mi
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos
muy lejos de aquí
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
perderte después
Pedro Infante, the Mexican singer and actor, sang the song in English in his 1951 movie 'A Toda Maquina'.
The Beatles included the song in their setlist during the band's audition for Decca Records, their first EMI recording session and the Get Back sessions. They sang their rendition of the song with English lyrics that don't correspond to the original Spanish lyrics.
After this romantic song from the 40's, I would like to introduce you a vintage-inspired makeup brand.
Bésame Cosmetics
In 2004, an Argentinian woman called Gabriela Hernandez founded Bésame Cosmetics. She emigrated from Buenos Aires to New York, when she was 12 years old. Gabriela was a distinction student, she taught English on her own and after finishing high school in Los Angeles, she became a Fine Art professional from the prestigious Art Center in Pasadena, California.

Do you want me to show you two of my Bésame Cosmetics products?
1. Crimson Cream Rouge: As far as you know, I am a blush-a-holic, I can't get by without many blushes, seriously I love them haha. This product reminds me of Benetint by Benefit Cosmetics (My review: here), but it's a cream one, so it's easier to apply. It offers a natural flush from but a pat of product.
'For instant rosy cheeks and lips there is nothing more timeless than our vintage inspired cream rouge. Just a touch of this concentrated cream will give you a natural flush, just like the very first time you were kissed! Apply with your fingertips to lips and cheeks. Feels weightless and blends beautifully with any skin tone. Designed to stay on all day, our cream rouge is sure to delight. Packaged in a vintage styled recyclable tin'
2. Sweetheart Balm (Cherry): woow! Superb! honestly, it keeps my lips moisturized throughout the day! Do you love bitten-lip look? or even that look of having just eaten berries? this balm is for you!
'The Sweetheart Balm is a luminous lip moisturizing balm with a hint of color that gives you an elegant, long lasting finish. Gabriela carefully crafted a healthy formula that deeply moisturizes and conditions, while fortifying with antioxidant vitamins C and E. It is highly emollient and protective as it drenches the lips with exceptional comfort and hydration in sheer, shiny pops of color.
She included beneficial ingredients including aloe leaf extract and shea butter, known for soothing, healing and antiseptic properties, and jojoba, a naturally-derived oil that is easily absorbed into skin. She also included rosa canina extract, a fragrant extract with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and vitamins C and E, antioxidants that fight free radical damage.
Sweetheart Balm is a refined lip balm that soothes, hydrates, and protects the lips. Use it alone for a subtle sheen or on top of your favorite lipstick for a shiny finish.
Cherry is a deep cherry hue with a berry pop of color and natural cherry flavour'

Unfortunately, my camera is not able to capture the true colour on the skin and lips :( Actually, they are very intense rouge colours despite in the pics, they seem very dull. However, hand swatches show true colours. Have a look!
