I present to you… the entire Too Faced Melted Lipstick line up… swatched!
This video was one HECK of an endeavour. Little did I know that I’d have almost two hours of footage that I then had to whittle down to an acceptable time for a swatch video!
If videos aren’t your thing and you’d rather just see my face shots comparing all the lipsticks, look no further! None of these photos have been retouched in any way and you can zoom them in to full size to inspect every single one of my pores if you so desire. Enjoy!
If you’d like to see my preview posts with full reviews on the Melteds (before I managed to get my hands on the entire collection), you can check out the following links:
Needless to say… I’m more than a little bit obsessed with these melted lipsticks!
As for purchasing, it can be a little hit and miss with some of these shades. Some of them are sold on sephora.com, some are on ulta.com and some are on toofaced.com. It’s really kind of all over the place. Please note that Melted Rainbow is a Sephora VIB Rouge exclusive shade and can currently only be bought in the US (and I think online only too!).
So which ones are your favourite? For me, I’d have to go with Melon, Candy and Berry. I go back to those shades over and over again!
After having fallen in love with Charlotte Tilbury‘s Matte Revolution lipstick formula (see my review on Lost Cherry here), I was more than a little excited to see her expanding her lipstick range with her brand new Hot Lips.
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips
Unlike I originally thought though, the new Hot Lips lineup has shades in both the Matte Revolution formula as well as her original K.I.S.S.I.N.G. formula. Of the shades I have, Kim K.W., is a cream and Miranda May is a matte.

Although the formulas are slightly different, the bullets are shaped like Charlotte’s matte lipsticks. They have a square cut bullet which is not only extremely appealing to my eye, but it’s also just as easy to apply to my lips as a traditionally cut bullet. Of course, as you wear the lipstick down, the shape of the bullet won’t matter.
Unique to the Hot Lips line is the etched kiss mark into the side of the bullet. It’s a small touch, but an appreciated one!
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Kim K.W.
Kim K.W. is in Charlotte’s original K.I.S.S.I.N.G. lipstick formula which is a soft cream finish. This particular shade is an ode to Kim Kardashian-West and it’s “a vintage inspired pale pink nude makes lips look instantly fuller, and irresistible”. In some shots it looked like a very pale pink nude, but in others it looks almost yellow based. It was an odd shade to photograph and I wasn’t sure how it would look on me!
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Kim K.W.
I feel like nude lips (much like mascara) varies so much between people that it can be hard to nail down an appealing shade that will work on a wide variety of people. But low and behold…
Wearing Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Kim K.W.
There’s something utterly perfect about Kim K.W. on my lips. I was blown away! The texture and feel of the lipstick is completely comfortable and it doesn’t disappear on my lips as some creams do.

Kim K.W. definitely came out slightly pink on my warm undertones and I loooove the way it looks on me. There’s also a slight sheen to this formula so it looks and feels hydrating.
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Miranda May
The next shade however… I knew I was going to love this one! This beauty is Miranda May and it’s a “fresh, pinky coral inspired by Miranda Kerr’s fresh faced beauty and the sunsets of Malibu and Bondi Beach”.

Pink-coral? Beach sunset inspired? This might as well be my shade in a tube as far as I’m concerned. The tube colour comes out slightly brighter than it does on the lips (not complaining, just saying).

I say this every time I wear, swatch or review a coral… I love it. I LOVE IT SO MUCH! This such a stunning colour and it just makes me so very happy to wear it.

One thing worth noting, and I can’t think of anyone else mentioning this in other reviews I’ve seen, is that even though this is in the Matte Revolution formula (and it does feel consistent with the other matte I’ve tried in her line) this particular shade has very, very fine particles of gold glitter in it. I was actually a bit stunned when I put it on my lips the first time because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. The particles are incredibly tiny, but they ARE there. You can see them a bit better in this swatch shot:

Final Thoughts
As you can see, the Kim K.W. and Miranda May Hot Lips lipsticks are at pretty different ends of the colour spectrum for lipsticks, but they both worked so, so well for me. I know the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks can be a bit of a splurge item, but I’ve always been pleased with the formula of her products and these lipsticks are no exception. It’s also rather endearing that she’s named her lipsticks after celebrity women because it gives us a sense of intrigue with some of these items.
Additionally, $2 from each lipstick sold within the first two months of sales will be donated towards the Women For Women International charity. So buy a lipstick, and help out women worldwide – that’s a win in my book!
The Charlotte TilburyHot Lips can be purchased online at charlottetilbury.com for $38 CAD apiece, or $32 USD apiece. In Canada, Charlotte Tilbury can also be purchased at Holt Renfrew.
The products featured in this post were sent to by PR me for review.
And here we go! My Too FacedTotally Cute Challenge Week hopefully shows you just how versatile this palette can be. For swatches of these eyeshadows, please see my previous Swatch Sunday post. This is a limited edition palette, so get it while you can!
Hilariously, my first look ended up being a neutral look. This made me laugh because my friend Samantha had been pointing out how al the Too Faced Totally Cute palettes looks she had seen to date were neutral and not using any of the colourful shades. Well, the first look I did was neutral too! Haha! (If you want to see this makeup in action, I’m wearing it in My 105 Makeup Geek Eyeshadows Swatched video.)

I created the wing with QUO‘s micro tip liner in Brown and applied Make Up For Ever‘s Excessive Lash mascara to my lashes. I’m also wearing a pair of House of Lashes Au Naturale false lashes.

I made sure I did a look using the pink shade (I <3 TF) in the palette, although I have to say that Too Faced puts this kind of pink shade in sooo many of their palettes and it’s definitely not one of my favourite shades since I’m not really a pink girl! I did like how pink shade paired with my lips though, so that was a win!
Eyes
Unicorn on the inner third of the lid.
I <3 TF on the middle of the lid.
Meow! on the outer third.

I created the wing with Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and coated my lashes with Tarte‘s Tarteist Lash Paint mascara.
Highlighter: Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Skin Twinkle palette (Moonlight)
Lips: NYX Butter Gloss in Strawberry Parfait
For this look, I wanted to use as many eyeshadows as I could from the palette because I filmed this for my YouTube channel. I also did a gradient on my lower water line which I think came out really, really neat! (Full video tutorial here.)
Eyes
Bunny Fu-Fu through the top of the crease.
Clover on the inner half of the lid.
Storm Cloud on the outer half of the lid.
Unicorn on the inner corner of my eye.

I lined my lower lash line with I <3 TF and added a little bit of Meow! to the outer corner of the lower lash line. To create the wing I used Kat Von D‘s Tattoo Liner in Trooper and coated my lashes with Tarte‘s Tarteist Lash Paint mascara. I also applied a pair of Bombshell false lashes by House of Lashes. I also used Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Liners in I-32 and M-92 to create a gradient on my water line.

This look was a super easy one because I wanted to show you how versatile Storm Cloud is as an eyeshadow because it has so much dimension that it basically blends itself out into a different shade in the crease!
Eyes
Storm Cloud over the entire lid and through the crease.
Meow! on the outer corner to deepen up that area slightly.
Unicorn on the inner corner.

For my last look, I wanted to use the heck out of Bunny Fu-Fu!
Eyes
Bunny Fu-Fu all over the lid.

Meow! to deepen up the outer corner.

I feel like I never get done swatching Wet n Wild palettes! They put out so many that it can be hard to keep track of (especially the limited edition ones!). This one, Petal Pusher, is one of their permanent eyeshadow palettes that you can pick up at any time.
