Too Faced Melted Kisses

LIP SWATCHES BELOW :) 

WHAT?: This is a holiday set for 2014 and contains 4 Too Faced Melted Liquid Lipsticks. They are miniature sized (5ml/0.16oz) each vs a full sized (11.8ml/0.4oz). Shades include; Melted Nude, Melted Peony, Melted Fuchsia and Melted Berry. 

FUNCTION: These are described as the ultimate liquefied long wear lipstick set. Too Faced labels these as creamy lipsticks that comfortably coats lips in bursts of intense color that last for hours with an innovative angled velvet tip that allows for precise application. 

MY THOUGHTS: These are creamy when first applied but quickly dry down to a matte finish, and you can get a precise application with the velvet tip applicator. I'm not a fan of the squeeze tube, I find it a bit difficult to squeeze out the desired amount and I always seem to push out too much or too little. These also last a long while on the lips (6-8 hours) with normal lip activity. The lighter colors (Nude & Peony) seem to disappear from lips but the shades (Fuchsia & Berry) left a lasting stain for hours more. One thing to note, I don't believe these are that comfortable to wear on lips, they are a bit too drying for my preference. 

OVERALL: B

Pros: Great classic shades, precise application, last for hours, beautiful matte finish.

Cons: Squeeze tube application and texture becomes drying on lips. 

 

Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Espresso

This pencil eyeliner by Too Faced is an absolute dream to work with. It is creamy and can be smudged out but work fast because it sets in a few seconds. It's definitely waterproof, doesn't bleed and says perfectly through a 10+ hour day without much fading and no flaking. The color in perfect espresso is a dark and rich brown, love it for the days you want drama on the eyes but not a black liner. 

REVIEW: BH Cosmetics 10 piece Sculpt and Blend Brush Set

These brushes are absolutely amazing quality and for the price of $22.95 it's incredible. They are dense and soft and they do not shed (deep cleaned and washed twice).

 The smaller brushes work so well for blending cream and powder eyeshadows and are perfect size for the eyes. The larger brushes I would recommend using them for cream and liquid products. I have tried them using powder products but haven't quite got the desired coverage when using these brushes. 

Overall I have absolutely nothing but pros about these brushes. The quality even out match some more higher end brands.

Too Faced Bonjour Beautiful

Picked this kit up while Too Faced had an incredible sale around the Labor Day holiday. I have no idea what took so long for me to try the matte eyeshadow palette but I've wanted it for such a long time. The colors are gorgeous and decently pigmented. Will have to play with it some more to have a more decisive opinion on it!
