Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Chihuahua - Swatch and Review

Hey everyone! Today I have a review of the Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Chihuahua. I know I'm super late when it comes to trying this formula out, I think the first shades launched a few years ago. I'm not sure why but I just never felt compelled to try the formula out but after getting one of the shades in a Sephora Favorites set, it seemed like fate was trying to get me on the bandwagon.

Formula:

Too Faced says "Get the staying power of a stain, the intense color of a liquid lipstick and the high shine of a gloss in one long-wear formula. Using exclusive technology to keep cauldrons of molten lipsticks liquid and creamy, Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick comfortably coats lips in bursts of intense, high-impact, super rich, saturated color that lasts for hours."

First impressions were not good because when I first went to use it, all this clear liquid came out and the product was separated. I had heard that the product could be prone to separating over time but it was my first time using it. After shaking and squeezing the tube, the product started coming out more opaque and creamy and I was able to use it.

The formula is a thin and creamy liquified lipstick and glides on easy with the use of the doefoot application. The finish starts off like a shiny satin (not full on glossy) and dries down to a satin finish that gets more matte over time. It doesn't dry down though, so it isn't transfer-proof. 

Too Faced doesn't specify how long it's meant to last, only that it's long-wear and lasts for hours. I wasn't expecting it to last long but to my surprise I was able to get 6-7 hours of wear with no breakdown. I didn't find the formula to be drying or hydrating and thankfully it wasn't sticky either. The formula is very comfortable to wear and not heavy on my lips at all.

Conclusion:

Formula-wise, I think it's a nice alternative to the typical liquid to matte liquid lipsticks out there. It's easy to apply due to its thin and creamy consistency but it's not too messy because of the included applicator. It wears surprisingly well and can be easily touched up or cleaned up.

However, I feel somewhat torn about the product because of the issue I had with it separating. I do like the product and formula, especially since it lasted much longer than I thought it would. But if at the first go it separated, I'm not entirely sure of its stability over time. I'd say give one a try but I wouldn't necessarily recommend all of them unless you're sure you're into the formula and willing to overlook any possible separation.

Affiliate Links

Hey everyone!

Sugarpill is finally launching their long awaited Pro Palette and Pro Pans today at 12PM PST or 9AM EST. The Pro Palette is a refillable eyeshadow palette and the Pro Pans are single pans of their Eyeshadows. If you're someone who wants to be able to carry tons of Sugarpill around, the palette will be perfect for you! Previously, their Pro Palette was only available in limited quantities at trade shows but they're launching it so everyone can get their hands on it.

The pricing information is as follows:

The Pro Pans are $10 each, except for the foiled shade Money Maker, which will be $13. 
The Empty Pro Palette is $20.
If you buy 6 Pro Pans, the Pro Palette is $10.
If you buy 12 Pro Pans, the Pro Palette is free!

The most bang for your buck will be if you purchase 12 Pro Pans to get the free palette. The total for that comes to $120. Buying the Pro Pans save you $3 and lets you put them in any magnetic palette. If you already have your own magnetic palette, no need to get the Sugarpill Pro Palette. You can also mix and match however many shades you like. If you think you'll run through more of Heart Shaped Cookie or Tako, you can purchase multiples!

Also keep in mind that they are discontinuing the Cold Chemistry and Sparkle Baby Palettes, however you will still be able to purchase the eyeshadows as singles.

Shipping is $6 or free for purchases over $100 if you're in the US and scaled shipping prices if you're purchasing from overseas.

I personally don't need the Pro Palette but I do want to get Money Maker and Heart Shaped Cookie (the most neutral that I've ever seen Sugarpill get!).

Do you plan on getting anything from Sugarpill?




Review: Smith Cosmetics 212 Tightliner Brush and 230 Quill Crease Brush Small

I Purchased This

Hey everyone! 

Today I have a review of two Smith Cosmetics brushes, the 212 Tightliner Brush (the flat eyeliner-looking brush) and the 230 Quill Crease Brush Small (the white fluffy looking brush). I think everyone in the beauty community on Instagram has heard so much good things about Smith Cosmetics brushes.

I had the opportunity to see Smith Cosmetics in person at PHAMExpo and I was stoked to be able to buy them in person. I originally only got the 230 Quill Crease Brush but then got talked into the 212 Tightliner Brush.


So the question is, are these brushes worth the brand hype? Check out my review of them below!
