I was the other day till the mall to grab some yummies and since there is a Sephora store I couldn't help but enter to check around. I remembered that Too Faced "recently" came up with their own type of products to liquid lipstick (since everyone has, OCC, L'Oreal, Sleek etc.) Unfortunately they didn't have testers of all the shades (classically) to swatch them all for you so I swatched only 2 of them and I will use the swatches from the Too Faced site for the rest. :) I will also show you, from my collection, "dupes" which cannot be dead on the same but pretty similar, color-wise (because as a texture, I don't really own any liquid lipstick type.... thingy yet, haha).
6 shades are known but surprisingly, the site presents swatches of 10 different colors! The Sephora here didn't even have the basic six, haha. Anyway, here are the swatches from the site.
If you click on the picture you can even see the names of every shade so I won't mention them. The two shades that I swatched are the bright red "Melted Ruby" and the "Melted Fuchsia". They are both really rich and super bright to the point that even these swatches above don't make them any justice showing how bright they really are!
I'm going to start with my swatch and "dupes" for "Melted Ruby". Remember my "dupes" are only close color-wise. Also my dupes might be products from companies available only in certain countries, (especially for the pink one) or products that are discontinued, so this is an entertaining post and not necessarily a guide to find dupes for it. I would be more than happy to have all the lipsticks in the world so I can find actual dupes for you but unfortunately I don't. I will underline those that they are pretty much (still) available worldwide.
"Melted Ruby" is an exceptional red color that you can either apply it lightly and get a super bright, slightly pinkish red or apply it generously and get a bright deeper red. Very shiny too.
1. Too Faced - Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in "Melted Ruby"
2. Revlon - Super Lustrous Lipstick, no 440 "Cherries in the snow", I know in the picture it looks more like a dupe for the pink one but in reality is more reddish than what it shows.
3. Essence Lipstick, no 03 "Dare to Wear" - the closest dupe, to color that I have.
4. Chanel - Premier Rouge in "First Red"
5. Avon - Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in "Red 2000"
6. Juvena, no 141 "RED" I'm pretty sure this is loooong time discontinued.
7. Clinique - Long Last Lipstick, no 3 "100% Red"
What is important to mention is that after only a short time the Too Faced lipsticks "feathered" and ran between my skin lines which makes possible the fact that they might "bleed" on your lips....
Here is "Melted Fuchsia" and my similar lipsticks....
"Melted Fuchsia" is a pure hot fuchsia, in my belief, without purple or orange undertones.
1. Too Faced - Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in "Melted Fuchsia"
2. Dido, no. 13 (available in Greece)
3. Avon - Perfect Kiss in "Fuchsia Flirt"
4. Lovie, no. 37 (avail. in Greece)
5. Lovie no. 33 (avail. in Greece)
6. Seventeen Cosmetics - no. 356 "Hot Pink" (avail. in Greece)
One more thing I believe is important to say is that these lipsticks are promoted as "Long Wear" which makes sense to not transfer easily when they touch or not co completely off when you wipe your lips which is not true. They do transfer pretty much like a lipgloss and when I wiped them slightly they did get removed with the red shade letting a sliiiiiiiight tint to my skin.
The price of them on the "Too Faced" site is 21 dollars.
