Just found this video. She recently ordered her lipsticks and her By Starlight looks awesome. It's how I wanted mine to look. It's even different in the tube. I don't understand what's going on here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru2Bwbdnnv8

That sucks I think By Starlight is their most unique shade. I did purchase Space Cake and Belladonna 2 and the Shady Lady ??? I think thats the hot pink shade. So happy I didn't get 6x6, but I'd still like DGAF if anything. My package is sitting in the mailbox I'm in no rush to get them lol
I seriously still think the price point is a bit high for these lipsticks. I just don't think they are all that to be 19 bucks. They alright they okay but still a bit pricey. With that said I still spent money on it.

sooo right off the back i can tell u the smell of my by starlight from my first launch is different than these new launches. Its not as powerful smelling. i agree with shontay with the cakey kind of smell with these. not bad but it aint no addicting smell like mac has lol.
these are waaay creamier than the first launch of the lipstick. i prefer how the texture feels from the first launch.
it was nice knowing you melt but i have already moved on....

i actually love space cake. i see the hint of blue in it and i can rock it without a liner. other than that dgaf and 6six6 is a no go. dgaf looks horrid on me. not sexy at all. i thought a navy blue would be sexy as hell on me but no no no. something was off. ill stick to my kaoir harlem knight lipstick. that is the blue for me. 6six6 nothing special it didnt give me the pleasure that i wanted like when i seen it on the website.

I don't think the $19 price is criminal, but it is perhaps a couple bucks too high. I think $15-$16 is more appropriate for a new brand. The quality is really good, though. I applied these matte lipsticks without primer and didn't die. :lol: I'm going to e-mail them about by starlight. Not expecting much of anything from them, but they need to be aware something funky is going on there.

if anyone is a purple person by starlight from the first launch was worth $19+7 shipping. Everything else you're right not all that for the money... i do like space cake also. just wish the texture felt more like my Original By Starlight

So I got my lipsticks today and I have to say I'm very pleased. I got by starlight, space cake, and shady lady. I love the colors, especially space cake. It is so unique yet wearable. I love it! By starlight is what I wanted heroine to be. It definitely more blue based and darker. I'm sorry it's not working for some of you. I really like the texture and opacity on these. They go on very smooth, but the smell is not pleasant to me. Oh well, can't win them all. While I understand many of you were really disappointed with the service during this launch, I think they were really overwhelmed by the orders. I, for one, am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I think I will order in future. I really wish they'd lower their shipping though. I really want togetmy hands on dgaf!

yeah...it is ...But....its slightly more richer with more of a violet undertone..if that makes sense...so just take your herione lip liner or magenta...and do a few swipes on the skin and then glide quick sizzle on top...or vice versa...and thats close to what shady lady looks like ....but its a bomb color and BELLA 2 ..IS MY FAV!

I heard Kaoir has the same shipping issues as melt(?). I might just be sticking to brands I know from now on. Call me crazy, but I'm still thinking of Bang! Bang! and Belladonna 2. I'm just asking for trouble. I just e-mailed them with my thoughts on By Starlight. I'm interested in what they have to say since I'm not asking for a refund or anything. Can't even imagine how that would go over. I just don't want anyone else to get what I got when they were expecting something else. DILLIGAF just confirms that I'm not crazy. Something is off with our lipsticks.:flower: get KAOIR RUDE GIRL LIPSTICK...its more blue based...not as grape as by starlight. ...kaoir.com

BTW, can you describe any kind of scent the lipstick has?OH..YEAH but its been a year or more so kaoir has better service now...Rude girl is nice. AND Bella 2 is nice...and you will wear that one out more..its very pretty. ask..melt ..to see if they can give you Bella 2 and Return the By Starlight....in exchange....

I got my lipsticks today and I'm rather disappointed. The colours are close enough to lipsticks I already have that I don't really need them. The swatches on the site are really off - especially for 6Six6 and Belladonna2. The smell is just too much. Like an overly sweet vanilla candle. Really synthetic and cloying. I have them swatched on my hand and even that is giving me a headache I am very sensitive to scent but I can handle most food scents - vanillas usually do not bother me and I love MAC's vanilla scent.

L to R: Art Deco Dita Von Teese Demoiselle, WNW Cherry Picking, Melt Belladonna2, Melt 6Six6, MAC Media, Melt Shady Lady, MAC Girl About Town.
None of them are exact dupes, but they're pretty close in colour. The biggest difference is the finish. The Art Deco DVT lipstick is about as matte as the Melt one, WNW is a bit shinier. MAC Media is a touch cooler toned and shinier than the 6Six6. It's a little less pigmented than 6Six6. Girl About Town is a tad warmer and much shinier than Shady Lady. It's a little less pigmented. Hope this helps someone
ETA: I wiped all the swatches off with a makeup remover wipe & washed my hands - all the Melt shades stained. Shady Lady stained a LOT!

Well, you've pretty much killed any hopes I had for Belladonna 2. I guess that's a good thing, though.I got my lipsticks today and I'm rather disappointed.
