Yesterday the package I've been waiting for finally arrived, and it was my very first purchase with Melt Cosmetics. If you haven't heard of them, well they're a cosmetic brand who manufactures lipsticks (for now), and if you want to check them out, just click here.
Each lipsticks costs around US$19, more or less S$25 each, and it has this ultra-matte formula. I have two lipsticks, one is Belladonna 2 which is a cool toned Red, and the other is Shady Lady, which I describe as a cross between M.A.C.'s Heroine and a bit of Lickable lippie.
Shady Lady
Packaging: Reminds me of UD's Revolution lipstick but better. I love the easy to grip sides.
Scent: It has a sweet yet there's this old make up scent in it. That sweetened scent reminds me of that floral candies I used to eat which can be found in birthday cakes back in our country. There's also that a bit of ice scramble (just some iced shake with some pink food coloring, powdered milk and Hershey's chocolate syrup on top) scent to it.
Feel: It feels light weight. Even though it's ultra-matte I don't find it drying.
Texture: Really matte, reminds me of Retro Mattes of M.A.C. and Illamasqua lipsticks which are quite hard to apply and you'll get a bit scared for you might broke the lipstick. Really opaque when applied. oh right, it has less transfer too, once you put it, it sets quite fast.
Thoughts: It's a really good matte lipstick although the opaqueness can be a bit of a problem in taking it off since it does leave a stain on your lips. I think it would be better to be applied using a brush than straight to the tube for more control too.
Am I happy with my purchase?: DEFINITELY YES! I eat a lot of quite oily foods almost everyday of my life and this is definitely one of the lipsticks I can see that would hold off the oiliness from the food I eat.
