Oh Too Faced. You get me every. single. time.
This past December, Too Faced released some additional shades to their Liquified Long Wear Lipstick range (the Melteds), except this time they did it with a chocolatey twist!
Staying true to the ever-raging 90s trend, these chocolate Melteds are quite brown on the lips, but they each have a twist of colour. I picked up all of the “regular” ones: Chocolate Cherries, Chocolate Milkshake and Chocolate Honey. They also released three shades in the metallic version of the Melted formula, but I’m not a fan of their reflective consistency, so I opted not to get those. (Edit: I got them a few months later! Check out that review here.)
For those unfamiliar with the Melted formula, it’s considered a liquid lipstick since it is quite fluid. However, they do not dry down to the “dry as a bone” matte formula that most liquid lipstick possess. They are richly pigmented and are quite glossy on application, but will dry down to a soft and comfortable matte formula within roughly an hour. You can either re-apply the product to bring back the glossiness, or just keep wearing it as is (which is my preferred method). I do not find them drying on the lips.
Aside from the obvious colour selection, these are called Melted Chocolate because they do in fact smell like chocolate! The scent is not quite the same as the Chocolate Bar palettes – to me, the Melted Chocolates do smell a lot more artificial. It’s like it’s flavoured with chocolate on top of the usual smell of the Melted formula (which is kind of a non-scent to me to begin with). That being said, it’s not offensive to my nose and the scent/taste does completely fade on the lips. The wear time is equal to all the other Melteds I own (six hours or more, easily), although Chocolate Honey did feel a bit more liquid than the other two. Amazingly, Chocolate Cherries did NOT stain my lips, even after wearing it for five hours straight.
- Chocolate Cherries is the darkest of the lot, and while it does look quite red-brown in the swatch, in practice I feel like it looks a lot more black-brown on my lips. (In the same way that Melted Villain looks black on me.)
- Chocolate Milkshake has a hint of pink added into the pale brown. I do get far less pink payoff on my lips though.
- Chocolate Honey is what I’d call the true medium brown of the lot. I was anticipating this giving me poo lips, but I’m actually quite pleased how much it does look like melted milk chocolate!
Too Faced Melted Chocolate – Lip Swatches
Final Thoughts
It’s no secret that I’ve been in love with the Melted formula by Too Faced for quite some time. (You can see me swatch the entire Too Faced Melted collection here!) And these Chocolate additions have not shaken my love for the formula. If you like the colours and are looking for a comfortable lipstick to wear, you cannot go wrong with these. Absolutely two thumbs up from me!
Too Faced Melted Chocolate lipsticks can be purchased for $25 CAD each on Sephora.ca, or for $20 USD each on TooFaced.com.
All 3 are gorgeous!! Stupid no buy…

Don’t kill me but… I think Chocolate Cherries would be killer on your complexion…
I am TECHNICALLY ALLOWED to buy these if I throw out three lipsticks from my collection of equal size (no ditching deluxe sized products for full sized). This is a big temptation.
Are these permanent or LE?

These are permanent as far as I’m aware! Although I’d keep in mind that if the 90s brown lip trend dies, they may go along with it. (I have no confirmation of that, just a thought that crossed my mind.) They are, however, continuously adding to the Melted lineup, so I’m fairly certain these will be around for a good long time!
Any shade in particular grab you? Or are you just like “yes please. All of them.”? 😉
Too Faced has the most amazing lip products! I love these chocolate additions (their entire chocolate inspiration is genius). I like chocolate milkshake the most our of these 3!

Yes! I love the Melteds, I love the La Cremes. So much goodness!
And seriously… how come no one came up with chocolate scented products before Too Faced? They’ve definitely hit the jackpot with the whole concept!
Yaaaas Cherries is GORGEOUS on you. I mean, they all are, but Cherries is my fave.
I think Cherries is the one I’m likely to wear the most frequently!
Chelle, these swatches are absolutely incredible!

THANK YOU RING LIGHT!
Whyyyy are you tempting me?! I’m still on spending ban. *sob!* Honestly though, I am not one who is drawn to brown lipstick but Milkshake and Chocolate Honey is stunning on you!

Yeah I wasn’t sure how the browns would come out on me. But since I love the formula so much, I ordered them without really thinking twice about it!
I’m sort of on a spending ban… maybe, sorta? lol I feel like I need to detox from all the things I’ve picked up/been given over the holidays. Butttttt I’m sure that feeling will end soon! 😉
I love chocolate scented products! Milkshake looks gorgeous on you and is the one I’d probably wear the most.
Too Faced has really got us hooked with that chocolate smell, haven’t they? And yeah, Milkshake is probably the most conventional out of all of them.
Agh! I hate my internet- Here’s attempt #2 at a comment!
At first I really hated the 90’s throwback to brown lips. However, now that I can see someone with a pale complexion can pull it off I’m kind of digging it. I really like the shade milkshake! (I would also really love a real milkshake too)

Goddamn – I HATE when the internet swallows my comment. SO MAD.
I also was not keen on the 90s lips when they came back in. I was like oh god who would put that on their lips??? But yep, totally with you now – I’m not only getting used to it, I’m even liking it!
Annnnnd now I want a milkshake! 😉
I know I’ve already said it once but they look SO good on you. I may give chocolate cherries a try. I think the others are a bit to nude for me.

<3 Thank you Amy! Chocolate Cherries is such a stunner and would likely look amazing on you!
Yum Milkshake looks soooo pretty. Such a pretty nude.
And you can rock that brown! It’s such a true brown too! 🙂 Love it.

I do really wonder how much I’m actually going to wear that Chocolate Honey shade though…
