Want an all-natural lip color that lasts look no further then to the beautiful Geisha. Beni the traditional Geisha lipstick and rouge is made from the Safflower plant that is harvested before sunrise (because of its ability to lose its color after sunrise) in July at Japan's Yamagata Mountains. It is then painstakingly crushed, soaked, and steamed into a paste. Afterwards it can be applied with a brush and depending on how much water is used the color ranges from pale pink to very bright red. One application can last a couple cups of coffee and multiple licking of the lips. So why aren't more people aware of this marvelous product? Well, it might actually be the world's most expensive lipstick. Isehan-Honten, the only company that sells Beni, prices a pot containing less than 1/3 of an ounce at 335-1,440 British pounds. The product comes in a beautiful lacquered case designed by Japanese artists along with a mirror, makeup brush, and pillow.
