(The bag shown in the picture is from the Too Faced brush set) |
For Christmas 2014 Too Faced came out with a set of 4 of their melted lipsticks in a set of four deluxe sample size versions.
How does Too Faced describe them? "Get the staying power of a stain, the intense colour of a liquid lipstick and the high shine of a gloss with Melted"
I agree.
The colour is very long lasting, like a lip stain, and remains after the lipstick has eventually rubbed off through eating and drinking. The colour is nice and opaque, just like a regular lipstick. They do have a good shine to them until they wear off and you are left with the stain.
The colours in this set: Melted Nude, Melted Peony, Melted Fuchsia and Melted Berry.
Melted Nude: Not my favorite colour. It's a little too dark on my skin tone. And it has an almost yellowy-beige tone to it, which I'm not a fan of.
Melted Peony: This is a really pretty light pink shade. It would look good with most if not all skin tones.
Melted Fuchsia: This shade is exactly what it says. Typical bright fuchsia colour. Nice and vibrant. Possibly my favorite colour in this set.
Melted Berry: A rich, dark, cranberry colour. Stains really well.
The shades shown are: (from top to bottom), Melted Berry, Melted Fuchsia, Melted Peony and Melted Nude |
The colours in the set are not exactly unique, but they are great colours. They are generally universally flattering, with the exception of Melted Nude, which I think would be quite hit and miss among people.
What don't I like about the Melted lipsticks? The applicator. The applicator is like a fuzzy tip, where you squeeze the tube and the product comes through. Personally, I find it hard to get a nice clean line around your lips with it. The applicator creates fuzzy edges. You could use a lip liner, to help fix this, but I don't like to use lip liners with liquid lipsticks. Another option could be to squeeze some out and use a lip brush. But the product would definitely be so much better if they had used a doe foot applicator instead.
Overall this set was worth it, it was a good way to try out the formula of the lipsticks and a selection of colours for a reasonable price.
Even though this set is no longer available, you can still get the full sized versions (in different colours) from Sephora for $21USD (if you live in NZ, you can use Shipito to get them here). They currently have 18 different shades available.
Until next time...

I can't get Toofaced where I live either (in New Zealand), so I have to buy online. But...a lot of sites don't ship here, so I have to get creative with shipping forwarding services. There might be something like that available in your area?
