I had huge hopes for the Metallic range of Too Faced Melted lipsticks after loving their normal range but it fell a little flat for me.
They come packaged in the same manner as the original versions with the addition of the word metallic on the front of the product name. You just can't fault Too Faced packaging though, it is one of the things they are best for, with the exterior rigid but squeezable plastic tube being the same colour as the lipstick contained, and the shiny lid. Even the applicator is one of a kind, it has a soft cotton type doe applicator that when you squeeze the creamy but thick liquid lipstick up into, comes through little holes and spreads out to make the application easy and seamless.
My problem with it is that the metal shades are just too 80's if you know what I mean, I looked back at myself and thought I should be rocking a vivid pink shell suit with my curly hair in a side pony tail secured with a scrunchie! I purchased Melted Violet and Melted Jelly, both are a purple pink tone with Jelly being slight more on the mauve shade. If you like the old style pearl shimmer type of lipsticks then you will love these Melted metal liquid lipsticks!
Formula wise though they were easy to apply, didn't move around too much, never bleed and settled down on the lips nicely. Lasting a few hours before needing a top up.
After experience the original melted lipstick from too faced, and loving them, i knew i had to try this range when it was released.
The colour i got was Jelly, and it comes in a soft squeeze tube just like the original. It has purple packaging, and a gold twist off lid. My favorite thing about the design is the applicator, which is a sponge tip on a slight slant which lets you apply with precision.
The formula of this lipstick is really lovely and pigmented. It glides over lips, and provide amazing colour, aswell as a unique finish which looks slightly metallic, or a slight duo-chrome finish. Its really unqiue, and will make your lips stand out from the crowd.
Now although I just love this colour, the finish is not for me. It doesn't really suit me, and the chrome type finish just makes my looks feel dated. But that's just a personal option. I also don't really like the texture of this on my lips. Like i said it does glide on smoothly, but when i press my lips together, its feel slightly.. not grainy.. but textured and i do not like that feeling.
Overall, i won't be repurchasing this, but if this is a finish you like this would be the perfect product for you.
