Too Faced Lip of Luxury Lipstick Won’t Stay Long

December 15th, 2010 by Karen 68 Comments

Too Faced Lip of Luxury Lipstick in Free Love

File Too Faced’s Lip of Luxury Lipstick ($20) under “makeup that looks like it belongs on the tip of a pimp cane.” Or, alternately, “Oh, sheaaaa!” 🙂

The jeweled cap isn’t the only thing that glistens in this line of 12 shea butter laced lippies. Creamy, feather light and moisturizing, to boot, their reflective finishes glisten like diamond dust in the light.

I think the shade I’ve been wearing, Free Love (a shimmery light pink), plays especially well with smokey eyes.

Unfortunately, it also tastes and smells like faux strawberry, and the scent hangs around for a while (15 minutes or so after application). That wouldn’t be so bad if it lasted longer, but I’ve only been getting about two hours of wear.

Love love the color, but I’m not a fan of the flavor or scent (like stuffing a candied strawberry up my nose). And for $20, I like my lipsticks to linger a little longer than two hours, ya know?

PRICE: $20 for a 0.12-oz. tube
AVAILABILITY: At Sephora, Ulta and toofaced.com
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B-

Share and share alike

Tabs borrowed my blue necklace today and wouldn’t give it back (doesn’t the color go well with his fur?)! But seriously, every time I wear it, he takes a swipe at me.

So how was your hump day, young lady? 🙂 Are you doing anything tonight? I think I might hit up Panera Bread (aka chai latte heaven) for some tomato soup and then do a little Christmas shopping.

Speaking of that, are you finished with your shopping yet? I’m pretty far behind on mine… I’m curious — do you do very much shopping online? If you do, what’s your favorite online store? Amazon?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That’s a shame. Nothing sadder than quickly fading lipstick. Well, maybe migrating eyeliner. 🙂

    I love that color! and it looks lovely on you. I don’t think I’ll get it given your review of it though.
    LOL @your first pic with Tabs cause he kinda looks like he’s rolling his eyes! ^^

    my Wednesday was pretty uneventful. I just made a video for a Beautylish contest and tried some Sugarpill for the first time. I’m planning on watching I Love you Phillip Morris with the boyfriend over Skype tonight (ldr). and ooh! I want some chai tea from Panera!

    I feel like I can say that I’m almost done with shopping but it’s really that I only have a few people to buy presents for.. O;]
    I’ve done most of my shopping online, and have only gone out once to an outlet center. and yes, Amazon’s pretty good for the general stuff for me. sometimes Newegg for my techy boys.

    Hi Karen,

    The lipsticks look lovely, but the scent and the minimal staying power are deal breakers as far as I’m concerned 🙁

    The light blue suits you (and Tabs). My cat used to steal jewelry; at one point, I had a fake Heart of the Ocean style necklace out (don’t judge – it was for a Titanic-themed mystery dinner). I put it on my bed and turned around to get something else. The next thing I know, he was dragging the necklace down the hallway.

    I have a few more presents to pick up/order. Since I have to travel home for Christmas, I do a lot of online shopping. My go-to place this year has been Barnes and Noble’s online site. I have a membership, so I get free expedited shipping 🙂

    Just finished up the Xmas shopping today. Tomorrow I go to the post office to mail what needs to be mailed and then I can stay home and avoid the nasty stormy weather that’s supposed to begin on Friday. I do about half online shopping/half brick and mortar shopping, depending on what I’m looking for. Books, CDs, and DVDs are Amazon all the way. For things like clothing/makeup, I like to see it in person before buying for someone. I’ll take a chance on stuff for myself, but not gifts.

      Good for you. I think I’m going the Amazon route. I couldn’t find anything at the mall yesterday. Plus, my family is notoriously hard to shop for! I asked my brother what he wanted for Christmas the other day and he said, “Well, you can get me a clue. HAHA!”

    And I forgot about Xmas presents – I’m flying ‘home’ tomorrow morning (6.30am flight ouch, with a 6h layover ouch in stupid Gatwick that apparently doesn’t have free wi-fi re OUCH. Need to get an iPhone.) so I had to get most of my things ready by then, since my parents live in a tiiiiny village in the middle of nowhere – no. shopping. (SIGH)
    Shops weren’t inspiring this year, so I’m going for a lot of handmade things – flavoured vanilla/lavender sugar, flavoured salt, and the gorgeous looking brownie in a jar!
    I also ordered a couple of things via Amazon; getting them delivered at my destination is saving my already uber heavy suitcase woop!

    We’re mostly done with our shopping and the Hubs is taking some time off today with the list of last minute stuff. I do pretty much all of my shopping online and use Amazon as much as possible, since we’re Prime and shipping can be so expensive on other sites. I know I say this once a week, but we don’t have a lot of options where I live, so online is the way to go. Everything you could want, shipped right to your (or your gift recipient’s) door. 🙂

    My cat Jazz likes to take exercise equipment! When my father bought an upper body strengthening bar, Jazz grabbed the parts in his teeth and dragged them away to hide them! I don’t know why. He wasn’t going to build his upper body. It’s not like Jazz ever does anything besides sleep and play with my feet. 🙂

    I have Drop Dead Red and I love that lipstick! It’s a gorgeous deep red and I always get compliments when I wear it!
    On me it does last for a whole evening, provided that I don’t eat too much (it survives quite a few morsels though) and that I don’t smooch my bofriend 😀
    I DO use a lipliner under it, but all in all the duration is good. I get some bleeding without the lipliner, but it’s a minor complaint, seeing that it’s sooo soft!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
