Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash

This Urban Decay Revolution lipstick set is part of their holiday release and another great buy if you've been wanting to try these lipsticks! This is a set of 6 Deluxe sample size shades of Urban Decay's Revolution lipstick, 3 of which are their best sellers and 3 are Exclusive shades to the holiday set PLUS you get a full size lip liner in the color Ozone (clear) that you can wear with any of the shades. The price of this set is $39 which I believe is a great deal considering a full size of the Revolution Lipstick is $22. I picked up my Full Frontal Lipstick Stash from the actual Urban Decay site but I know you can also find it on the Sephora site and the Ulta site as well as most stores now that they have released the holiday sets.

The formula of this lipstick is so soft and creamy, it literally just glides on. Also these are one of the most pigmented lipsticks I've ever used, and of the 7 colors that I've tried they have never been patchy! This is what the website says about the formula 

"Our Pigment Infusion System™ gives Revolution Lipstick its super creamy texture, insane pigmentation, superior color dispersion and extended wear. Maxi-Lip™ defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller. And a nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft." 


First lets start with the 3 Best Sellers Gash!, Liar, and F-Bomb


Gash!- this is a great deep red without going to dark or brown in the undertone. I think if your scared to wear dark deep reds this is a great way to ease yourself into the color. It's also an amazing color for fall. I feel like you could build this up to be a great vampy lip color or wear it brushed on so that it isn't as intense.

Liar- this is my favorite Nude ever!! I even bought a full size one! This color is dark enough that I can wear it with my medium/tan skin tone. It also has the right amount of brown to pink ratio that I don't look overly tan with a light pink lipstick on but it's not so brown that it gives off 90's grunge. If that makes sense.

F-Bomb- this is an amazing red! Another one I'm going to have to pick up full size!! This is a true fire engine red!! I'm not sure if I've ever seen a color this Red and this opaque! I'm truly in love! Think of your favorite true red nail polish, now imagine it as a lipstick! Smooth and creamy! I need it in my life forever!!

Now lets talk about the 3 Exclusive Shades! Ladyflower, Crush, and Illict

Ladyflower- omg I'm so in love with this color!! To me this is a beautiful perfect rose color. It's so perfectly opaque and just glides on. I feel like this is a great color year round day or night! I hope they make this part of the permanent line! Plus the color stays after the kissing test!

Crush- I have to say I didn't love this color when I first put it in which is strange because I love hot pinks but as I wore it I grew to like it. It is a true hot pink, it's not sheer but it's not fully opaque so I feel like you could build the color if you wanted or just wear a little.  There are other bright pinks I love out there more. This color will stain the lips a little.

Illicit- semi sheer light pink with fuchsia and purple sparkle. It makes me think of Barbie but I actually really like the color! I think it would be great with a pink liner under it and smokey eye or lots of lashes!! I didn't want to take it off!

Let's not forget about the full size Ozone lip liner included in this set! You can apply it all over the lip to get a more mattifying affect or around the lip line to help with feathering and fading! Here's what the website says!

"Made with vitamin E, jojoba oil and cottonseed oil, 24/7 Lip Pencil glides on smoothly to prime and prevent feathering—for long-lasting lip color and clean lines. Together, Revolution Lipstick and 24/7 Lip Pencil are the ultimate pair for ultra long wear."

Overall I think this is a great set and value! It would make the perfect gift for any lipstick lover in your life or yourself!

Too Faced Melted Kisses Set

What it is: 4 deluxe sample size tubes (0.16oz) of Too Faced Cosmetics famous liquified Melted Lipstick. They are supposed to have the staying power of a lip stain while having the look and feel of a liquid lipstick. I picked mine up from TooFaced.com for $25 and it comes with 4 great colors. 

Melted Berry- A True Berry Color, 
Melted Fuchsia- A Bright Hot Pink, 
Melted Peony- A Light Soft Pink, 
Melted Nude- A True Nude 

I think this is the perfect way to try the Melted Lipsticks! I personally hadn't tried any of the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks until I picked up this set. The $21 price tag was a little steep for 1 color plus nobody had heard of a melted lipstick before this! This "melted" lipstick was a whole new concept when these were released. A melted lipstick, what does that even truly mean!? This is what the Too Faced website says, " 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." Now we have all heard of liquid lipsticks, which I was never a huge fan, they would always dry on my lips and feel like I had paint on my lips. The staying power was so so if you could deal with the drying effect they always had on lips. I don't like feeling my makeup on my face, it should feel like my face is bare no matter how many layers I'm wearing! These Too Faced Melted Lipsticks truly are a liquified lipstick! They glide on without any problem while staying comfortable and cushiony and not sacrificing any of the pigmentation or shine! It really is the best of both worlds! You get the staying power of an amazing lipstick/ lip stain while getting the high shine and comfortability of a gloss! I do find these to be very comfortable on the lips and they staying power is there. You will have to touch up a little after eating and drinking especially if you like that just applied high gloss shine. Ive worn these throughout the day with just a little lip liner to enhance my pout and really enjoyed the way they felt on the lip. They will transfer when you kiss someone or drink something but then again most lipsticks do so I don't mind that.

Now let's talk about packaging... These lipsticks because of their liquid form come in a squeeze tube with a precision tip applicator. I will say I do like the tip of this lipstick, especially with the formula I feel like it helps you get a more even application while helping you stay within the line of the lips. I will say though that the design of the squeeze tube worries me when you get towards the end of the product. I haven't reached this point yet but I can see it being a pain in the butt to get that last bit out before you finally toss it. I personally really like this product and if you can pick them up during a sale or with a coupon code the price tag isn't as shocking. I plan on picking up some full size shades in the near future, I just have to decide which colors I can't live without!
