When I first found out that Too Faced was releasing their line of Melted Chocolate lipsticks (through Instagram), I was delighted. They had different neutrals and browns I could see myself wearing! Thankfully, when Too Faced had a 20% off sale around the holiday season, I treated myself with the Chocolate Bon Bons Palette along with these two new treats: Chocolate Cherries (top) and Chocolate Milkshake (bottom).
Like the regular and metal Melted liquid lipsticks, these cost $21. The difference is that they consist of more nudes/neutrals/chocolate-esque shades AND they smell like chocolate! I would say the Chocolate Cherries has a stronger scent, maybe because it's darker?

The Too Faced Melted Chocolate liquid lipsticks have 6 shades, some of which are a regular creamy matte finish (like Chocolate Cherries, Chocolate Milkshake, and Chocolate Honey), and the others are a metallic finish (Metallic Chocolate Diamonds, Metallic Frozen Hot Chocolate, and Metallic Candy Bar). Honestly, all the shades looked good on the Instagram on swatches, but that doesn't mean that they would translate well on my lips. I loved how Chocolate Cherries looked, especially those of us with some color. I am glad I limited myself to 2 shades, because I did test the other ones at Ulta and they did not look good (I wanted Chocolate Honey, but it reminded me too much of MAC Whirl which I did not like, and the metallic shades were too sheer).
Chocolate Milkshake is a peachy-pink nude with warm undertones. I usually do not do well with nudes, but I am pleasantly surprised with how this shade suits me and doesn't 1. blend with my skin 2. wash me out or 3. looks like I didn't even put lipstick on. Definitely a casual everyday color, or one you can wear for a night out along with a smokey eye. To my tan skinned ladies, get this! You won't regret it.
Like I said, I thought Chocolate Cherries was so beautiful when I saw it on others. It is a dark burgundy/brown-ish shade. When I first tried it on, I found it a bit intimidating. Then I grew to love it, like a lot. I wear it as much as possible. The only thing is that it is a bit messy, especially with how dark it is, so exfoliation, lip balm, and lip liner is a must. I just adore it so much. It's so vampy and grungy yet feminine.
If you are a Too Faced fan then I would definitely give this a try! Hmm, let's see. I know I wasn't too keen on the other shades, but if you swatch them first and find that you like them, good for you!
Do you guys have any of the Melted Chocolate shades?
And I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day. Did anything special? Cecilio and I had brunch at my house. We made scrambled eggs (with sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, and turkey bacon) and French toast. It was delicious but so heavy! We got so sleepy and sluggish afterwards, and having my "time-of-month" does not help. Well, I will be burning it off in a little bit by doing the Cize program! I'm almost in the 3rd week of doing it! Tomorrow is our 7 year anniversary, but he has a surprise up his sleeve. I'm excited about it.
