Hey guys, I know it's been forever! However, I've finally managed to review the Too Faced Melted lipsticks and a couple of the Melted Metal lipsticks. I feel like I'm the last one to talk about them.. I have had them for a while and have been trying them out for months now, but I never got round to writing a blogpost on them. So, here we go!
So I managed to get my hands on these lovely colours. The first four are from the usual 'melted' line and the last two lipsticks are from the 'melted metal' range. The shades of the lipsticks from the image above are (from left to right); Peony, Ruby, Nude, Berry, Metallic Peony and Metallic Debutante.
First of all, I took a moment to appreciate the beautiful packaging of these cute lipsticks. They are so easy to use as they are in a squeezy tube and have a soft applicator to apply the lipstick with. The way to use the lipstick is by squeezing the tube a tiny bit and some product is released onto the tip of the applicator, which you can then apply onto your lips as you would with a normal lipstick. The only negative thing I find about this method is that it isn't very hygienic at all. Of course it is fine to use for your own lips, but if you are a makeup artist you can't clean the applicator for use on others as you would with a normal lipstick by dipping it into alcohol. Although, I find it easy to apply these lipsticks onto my clients by squeezing some product out and using a lip brush.
Below is a picture of the swatches of each shade (without flash), in the same order as the image above.
I've also inserted a picture of the swatches with flash, down below.
My favourite colours out of the normal melted range are definitely 'nude' and 'berry', nude is obviously the perfect everyday colour any girl can wear and I usually love my nude lipsticks. I feel as if this shade doesn't wash me out, which I usually find most nude lipsticks do. So, finding the perfect nude colour for my skin tone is always a mission! 'Berry' is a BEAUTIFUL dark, plum shade. I absolutely adore this colour to make the lips stand out, especially with a neutral eye. Considering it is now fall/autumn, I am most certainly going to abuse this lipstick. I honestly find that dark, plummy shades always complement any skin tone and liven up the whole look.
Peony is a nice bubblegum pink shade which I find a bit too bright for my skin tone, which is why I don't reach out for it often. Ruby is also a nice bright shade, your classic red lipstick which makes your lips look like a bold statement. The main difference between the normal melted range and the melted metals is that the metals have more of a shimmer in the formula, whereas the normal melted lipsticks are of a matte to satin finish. I am a big fan on the normal melted range, however, I prefer the metallic peony to the regular peony because it isn't as bright and looks more natural. Metallic Debutante is also a lovely shade, a very light pink to coral colour which brightens up my lips.
Also, I just want to quickly mention that I actually like the formula of these lipsticks because they feel so moisturising on the lips. I've tried many different liquid lipsticks and some feel sticky or tingly on the lips, fortunately the Too Faced ones feel perfect. Finally, these lipsticks smell bomb! I know a lot of us girls love the smell of our MAC lipsticks, but these Too Faced ones smell so sweet and who wouldn't want amazing smelling lips?!
That's all for this review my loves, thank you so much for reading it. I hope you enjoyed it!
Lots of love,
