Review: Too Faced La Crème Lipstick in Juicy Melons

I apologize for lack of update yet again... I really must get myself in the habit of posting blogs.

Here is a small review for the somewhat new range of lipsticks that Too Faced is offering. The La Crème range has 16 lipsticks in their current line up, plus a Sephora exclusive color. The range consists of four colors in the nude, spice, pink, and red families. I have only tried one shade thus far -- Juicy Melons.

Juicy Melons is a beautiful balance of pink and coral. Very appropriate for Summer. It has good pigmentation if you like sheer shades. This is buildable to medium opacity and has a glossy look on the lips. That being said, it has a lot of slip, reminiscent of Revlon Lip Butters so it might be hard to make it look even without it sliding around on the lips a bit. Because of this, a simple drink of water results in the middle portion of the lips looking very sheer. It may just be the characteristic of a sheer color, but I haven't experienced that with Laura Mercier's sheer lipsticks or even Lip Butters themselves.

There is a lovely perk to this formula though! It is very hydrating on the lips. I tend to avoid wearing it if my lips are peeling a bit since I found that it exacerbates it a bit, like most lipsticks. The moisturizing characteristics are likely the result of white lotus flower and power peptides included in the formula.

Too Faced also released a range of lip liners to accompany the lipsticks. I don't do lip liners though.


All in all...
Yay for:
1. Moisturizing qualities -- true to claim
2. Builability of pigmentation
3. Permanent availability
4. Sleek tube
5. Color range having a little of everything

Too Faced La Crème lipsticks are $21 USD for .11 oz. Available at Sephora.
