I haven't seen a set like this before, it's quite unique so it goes well in my makeup collection!
From light playful pale pastels to dusty, cool and deep shades, a color for each day  of the week.
I like the quality and the texture is a little tacky but bearable, they range from sheer/semi-opaque to opaque and are hydrating (goes well on top of another lip color too).

Also really like the natural/organic ingredients and that it's formulated without Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates.

Obsessed With... Too Faced - Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick - (Melted Frosting, Melted Melon, Melted Chihuahua, Melted Jelly Donut, Melted Villian)

Hey Beauties.
I tried a few more of Too Faced's Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick's in the new shades:
Melted Frosting: a sweet and sugary barbie-bubblegum pink
Melted Melon: a hot tropical spring/summer orange-coral guava
Melted Chihuahua: a gorgeous nude tone of caramel
Melted Jelly Donut: a fun and bright dragon fruit ruby-pink
Melted Villian: a bold and true deep black plum
There are 18 to this collection.

These are such a cool and sexy lip product, I love when the colors are pretty true to the packaging, they are long lasting just like they say (lasted more than 6 - 8 hours for me, great for events!) you can touch up a little bit but since it's a stain it provides burst of bold/vibrant super rich color well. You don't need any lip liners with these as they are SO intense (a little goes a long way too!). Loved the hydrating feel, very creamy, no cracking with my lips, non sticky, it applied smooth and stayed smooth. Loved the velvet tip applicator (no brush needed). I want to try more of the colors they all look so pretty!

It describes itself as (from toofaced.com):
Get the staying power of a stain, the intense color of a liquid lipstick and the high shine of a gloss with Melted.

It describes itself as (from Sephora.com):
What it is:
An intensely saturated lip color with a precise tip applicator.

What it does:
The shine of a gloss, lasting power of a stain, and pigment-packed color of a liquid lipstick, all in one high-impact formula. Bold, long-wearing color glides on cleanly with the precision tip applicator, delivering rich color with staying power.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
A precision tip applicator eliminates the need for a lip liner, making this formula easier to apply.

Hey Gorgeous Readers.
Here is the Bite Beauty Whipped Cherry Lip Scrub Fruit Scrub With Resveratrol that I picked up recently at Sephora.
I love exfoliators and lip scrub's I feel they are so important in keeping skin well maintained and fresh looking.
This is probably the most natural one I've tried and was quite impressed by the results.

First off the scent is super yummy, fresh cherry scented.
Whipped is defiantly what the texture is, very creamy and smooth, it has lots of beads but they aren't super harsh which is good, just enough to get the dead skin off. Leaves your lips soft and conditioned.
