Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Starlit Hyper-Glitz Lipsticks

What it is:
A limited-edition metallic lipstick that’s buildable to the ultimate jewel chrome finish.

Colors in the Collection:
Gravity (shimmering hot pink)
Sci-Fly (glimmering garnet)
$upanova (twinkling pink orchid)
Supermoon (sparkling peach)

Swatches:


Verdict:
I was soo excited when I heard that Rihanna was releasing a holiday collection for her Fenty Beauty line. The brand has become an overnight success thanks to its motto of "Beauty for All." I really wanted to love these lippies but unfortunately they just didn't meet my expectations. First off let me start out with the pros. The packaging on these lipsticks was spot on. The shape of the tube and the coloring were very unique. The formula was also very buttery however the cons outweigh the pros. I was hoping for a big glitter blast on my lips but instead I barely got a wash of color. The lipstick formula was very sheer. There was not enough pigment to hide my natural lip color so everything looked very uneven. Overall the lipstick was very drying, ended up looking gritty, and had no staying power. I am sad to say that this lipstick was just hyped up too much and in the end what you end up purchasing is a tube of gloried chapstick.

Too Faced Melted Matte Long Wear Liquid Lipstick in Gingerbread Man

What it is:
A limited-edition rustic spiced red liquid matte lipstick with a sweet gingerbread scent.

Swatch:


Verdict: I am absolutely loving this new melted matte shade from Too Faced. The color is amazing and is giving me major fall/winter vibes not to mention that the gingerbread man packaging is crazy adorable. The formula is definitely long wear. This lipstick did not budge. I actually had to put in some effort to remove the color off my lips at the end of the day. This limited edition melted matte shade is amazing and would be such a fun holiday stocking stuffer.
