Hey Dolls.
I picked this up on my recent Sephora Haul.
Here we have the Make Up For Ever Desire Me Cheeky Blush Trio.
To tie-in with the upcoming book to movie film Fifty Shades of Grey on February 14th 2015.
A Playful trio of shades.
I like this collection but I do wish they would have gone a little bolder with the design of the actual trio palette of cheeky blush, there are just so many options they could have done, that would have been wicked to see with the movie inspiration!
This is a nice travel-friendly, quick and easy trio, that blends well, and applies nicely.
Beautifully pigmented so you can create a sheer look or a bolder and dramatic look.
I feel this trio of shades work well for daytime more as it's a blush-toned highlight, deep-toned bubble gum pink and a bright coral.
I really like the Keepsake Pouch, it's just the cutest thing with the charms and the brush is nice and soft, works well!

It describes itself as (from Sephora.com):
What it is:
Create your look of desire with three shades of cheek color inspired by the movie Fifty Shades of Grey.

What it does:
Blush, highlight, and glow. This blush-worthy collection features three cheeky shades, plus an Artisan Powder Brush for expert application. With looks that range from a healthy glow of innocence to a highlighted flush of desire, you can experiment and play with the three color intensities, wearing them alone or blending together to create different looks. The Cheek Trio also includes makeup artist Victoria’s Down’s cheeky looks, techniques, and backstage secrets, and is seductively packaged in a velvet keepsake pouch, to hold your own little secrets.

This set contains:
- 3 x 0.08 Artist Shadow blush in I-526, I-808, S-748
- Travel Precision blush brush in 150
- Exclusive keepsake pouch

What else you need to know:
A limited-edition collection inspired by the movie Fifty Shades of Grey, MAKE UP FOR EVER brings you behind the scenes to discover the film's movie makeup secrets.

“I used MAKE UP FOR EVER every day on the Fifty Shades of Grey set. As a professional makeup artist, I try more than 100 products before I find the right one. I consistently go back to MAKE UP FOR EVER products because of the quality, range of colors, and superior blendability. It’s made with the pros in mind so you can expect performance and quality for everyday wear as well.”—Victoria Down, Head of Makeup Department/Fifty Shades of Grey

Hey Beauties.
I tried a few more of Too Faced's Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick's in the new shades: Melted Sugar a light-to-medium nude with a captivating beige-pink undertone, Melted Strawberry a bright and bold liquid strawberry tone, Melted Velvet, (not as dark as the tube), it's a sweet pink-red tone.
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.
