Melt Cosmetics Lipstick and Eyeshadow Stacks

I hauled these Melt Cosmetics products during their Valentine's Day sale. I know it's kind of late for me to upload these. I've been hauling things left and right, and delayed a lot of videos/blogs due to work/being in a play. Now the play is over, I can get back into reviewing and uploading makeup stuff:) 

So I've been eyeballing the Melt eyeshadow stacks for a while. When they had this sale, as well as their newest launch of the rainbow colored eyeshadow stack, I took the plunge. Well, not that much of a plunge consider everything was 25% off on the website during the sale. The eyeshadow stack normally retails for $48 each, and lipstick retails for $19 each(steep price for an indie brand). With the sale, I saved a bunch! I was pretty happy with everything. Melt cosmetics originally became famous from their interesting colored lipsticks. This is an indie company, and their products are cruelty-free, gluten free, paraben free, and most of them are vegan. They do indicate which are vegan and which are not on the website. The website is pretty clean and straightforward so you can read about everything on there. They have some very unique lipstick shades, and they are all matte finish(I believe). You can get free shipping if you purchase over $75 worth of products on the site. The packagings on all of their products are very sleek and simple. I love the matte black finish on all of them because I think matte black is awesome! They don't collect any fingerprints, and everything's clearly labeled on the bottom so you know which is which. They included a lip sticker in the box which was a nice little touch:) I'm a sucker for stickers so I loved it!

BLURR- a soft beautiful blending/eraser shadow (Non-Vegan)

UNSEEN- a cool-medium delicious caramel brown (Non-Vegan)

ENIGMA- a beautiful rusted red-brown  (Non-Vegan)

This is the only one out of the four matte shades that I experienced grittiness and 

patchiness. 

DARK MATTER- the most pigmented pitch-black (Vegan)

Love Sick - two mattes and two shimmers

PROMISCUOUS- a beautiful color changing violet-blue! Use it alone, or combine it with 

black to reveal a completely different shade! (Non-Vegan)

so pigmented and cool you have to see to believe (Vegan)

It glistens and glides on with ease (Non-Vegan)

Again, another color that I was highly anticipating but turned out to be the least smooth

 and just gritty:/ Color itself is beautiful though!

Radioactive - two mattes, one shimmer, and one matte with micro glitters. (all Vegan)
This stack reminds me a bit of the Sugarpills colorful eyeshadows, but those are all matte, and costs $34 for a quad. These are also similar to the Urban Decay Electric pressed pigments palette, which costs $49 for 10 shadows and a duo ended brush. Guess these Melt stacks are pricier, but each one of the eyeshadows in each stacks contains 0.327oz of product. Comparing to Sugarpills' single pan eyeshadow which has 0.12oz, and Urban Decay has 0.04oz. So with that being said, Melt radioactive stack is not that expensive. If you want to save more, just wait until they have some kind of promotional sales.

Radon – This pressed pigment was inspired by a beautiful orange ribbon with pink reflects! Electrify your lipstick by adding a touch of this color on top!

Neon – Brighten your eyes with this intense neon yellow with hints of gold specks!

Xenon – This eye shadow packs an incredible electric lime punch!

Radioactive – This pressed pigment is Hot! Hot! Hot! Pink! Try it on your lips for a 

powerful saturated pout!

Unfortunately, this one is a bit patchy compare to the rest of the three:/

You can follow them on Instagram! I like everything from this line, and I love that it's a cruelty-free brand with lots of vegan options. The quality of all the products are wonderful, and I can't wait to play around with these!
