Melt Cosmetics

[erine1881]

I already emailed them.  I also noticed my belladonna2 is smudged.   Now that I realized she mixed DR with BD2, Bane and Spacecake, I can't wait to get the later and play.  I think the purple DGAF is gorgeous though, If they can guarantee a blue replacement, I'll pay for and keep this one.  I also think the cupcake smell is strong. I imagine on my almost migraine days where one is slowly coming, or dissipating this is going to be nauseating. 

Yours looks blue to me. Purple-based blue, but blue none the less.

My DGAF is also purple, I emailed melt cosmetics and was told that it's a violet based blue and that if I am unhappy with the way it looks on me I can ship it back for a return or an exchange. Its a beautiful color so its not that I'm unhappy, I just was expecting a blue lipstick and feel that what I got is what by starlight should look like. What do you guys think? I already emailed them some pics so they can see what I'm talking about but I'm not sure it'll make a difference. I'm bummed out cause I waited months for them to restock specifically because I wanted an awesome blue lipstick, I already have a ton of purple ones.

Yours is definitely purple.

Does any one have both Kelly Yum Yum and Shady Lady? I want to know if they are dupes for eachother.

Yours is definitely purple.

*sigh* I know my colors. and this is not blue. I wouldn't have emailed them otherwise.

Are they going to refund you the full amount including shipping? Since it is not the color that it's supposed to be...

good idea.I'll check.

As a former chemist, it is very important to write down everything that you have done in the lab. In the event that you want to recreate something, you don't have to scratch your brain because you wrote everything down precisely. Melt should have the formula of their lipsticks down and create it in smaller batches so they won't make mistakes in the future.

Had the same dramas with shipping, too. I'm canceling my order with Lime Crime. I'd do the same with Sephora, but everything I want is out of stock on beauty.com. In other news, I got my Melt order! I like Dark Room. It and Bang Bang apply smoothly, but Shady Lady and Belladonna 2 are a bit stiff. Shady Lady and Bang Bang are not for the meek. Those shits are bright as hell! Edit-I meant Stupid Love, not Shady Lady.

Of the top of my head, KYY is definitely brighter, if not also a touch lighter than SL. I have both, I just need to see if I can find my sample of KYY somewhere. I'll post pics if I find it.

Yea, the swatch actually left a light reddish stain on the back of my hand =( not as bad as by starlight which leaves a bright pink stain on me but still. It's a deep cool toned sort of purple but a purple nonetheless.

Well ok then.

For some reason, it wouldn't let me upload pics on my iPhone, but appears to work from my Android. Anyway, here are comparison swatches of (L to R) Stupid Love, KYY, and Shady Lady.

Check the RiRi Fall thread--I reposted a tip from Liba that helps with the patchiness issue.

Found it. Thank you very much

If you have iOS 8.0 on your iphone I think that's what the issue is. I couldn't upload from mine until I finally updated to 8.1 (or whatever the latest version is). Now uploading works fine.

WOW!!! That Shady Lady is a stunner!!! Thank you for the swatches. It seems closer to Stupid Love but they are all still different from one another. It looks like I'll be giving Shady Lady a try soon.

If you have KYY you don't need stupid Love or vice versa.

Weird. I updated to 8.1 in the last week or so. Didn't have any problems before that.

Interesting. I avoided updating my iOS until a few days ago because I always wait it out for a bit and for the most part 8.0 was working fine for me on my 6. Only consistent issue was that I couldn't upload pics in Safari. I thought it was just on here until I tried to do it on another site. But since my updating a few days ago I've been able to upload everywhere. :shrugs:

Speaking of TTT, bought it on eBay (I don't want to talk about how much that cost, silly bidder pushed up my bid ) and... I love the colour and finish... But... It's really patchy and I had to keep applying during my train journey into work

It is patchy but so pretty. I wear it with a similar liquid lipstick on top to help with that But sparingly because I have a hard time making it work to a point.

Question ladies... Is Blow a matte, satin or frost??? I've been eyeing it online and have read/seen several reviews and the last one I watched by Jaz Jackson on YT got me a lil confused... Jaz said she wouldn't call it a matte but more of a cremesheen because of its reflective properties... I'm not a big fan of cremesheens so I'm hesitant to order... I would appreciate help from someone who actually owns Blow, please and thanx in advance

Theyre all matte. Very matte.
