I've been wanting to do a post on these Too Faced Melted Matte Lipsticks for a while, but was waiting to slightly expand my collection first.
I've found it hard to find a liquid lipstick collection that I can 100% get along with, it's been a roller coaster of a journey, first world problems at it's finest. There are a few minor faults in these, they are not perfect (what is?), but I can safely say, I do see eye to eye with these.
Faults
First lets start with the few faults I have found.
Child Star - out of the 5 I currently own, this is the only one to give me real bad cracking problems. No matter how much I have exfoliated my lips and done all the prepping under the sun, it's still cracking. I'd like to know if anyone else has found this or if it's just me. But as I said I haven't had that problem with any of the other shades, so far.
Application - I've found these a little harder to apply neatly than other liquid lipsticks. I think this is a personal preference, because although I've heard a lot of comments on how Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are harder to apply, I actually find Kat's easier to apply than these. However, I can live with this, it's probably a practice thing.
Lady Balls - I have worn this a lot. I wore this for 12 hours straight on the day of my boyfriends Moms wedding, and it did me proud. But the last time I wore this, it bled, everywhere, good times. I had never had this problem before, I will put it to a bad day (for now)
Advantages
On to the fun part, let me tell you why the few faults I found are now completely irrelevant.
Packaging - Yes, the packaging is cute, but I actually love how the packaging colours are almost identical to the shade of the lipstick. Very handy Andy.
Lasting Power - As I already briefly mentioned, I wore these for pretty much 12 hours straight and it lasted through food and a lot of drinks, with the minor touch up throughout the day.
Pigmentation - A little goes a long way, with just one swipe you get great coverage.
Texture - These feel great on, even after wearing them through out the day, they don't feel thick or sticky, like most liquid lipsticks do. They glide on perfectly and they stay that way. They don't flake either (like I found the KVD Everlasting ones did).
And if you take anything from this, know that I will be buying more in the future, so that's obviously something to go by! x
