I picked up three shades from Pretty Zombie Cosmetics after hearing so much about them on Instagram. They are retailed at $12 each with a flat rate USPS shipping to any USA address for $5.75. For Canada is $11, and $13 everywhere else. There are mostly dark, vampy, and gothic looking colors for this line of liquid lipstick. Pretty appropriate for the company name. This is an indie makeup brand/company, and it's vegan and cruelty-free! Really awesome that more and more cruelty-free and vegan brands are coming out to the makeup market. More companies need to follow this footstep! Anyways, I'm really happy with these liquid lipsticks. Not only there are many darker shades to choose from, the formula is great. These are super intense, highly pigmented, and opaque colors. One swipe is all you need. The consistency is somewhat similar to a ColourPop ultra matte/ultra satin. It's kind of in between as I mentioned in the review video. It's definitely a liquid and not a mousse texture. It dries to a completely matte finish but not transfer proof. It's comfortable like the CP ultra satin on the lips, but feels just a little bit on the drier side. However, it's much more comfortable comparing to CP ultra matte because it doesn't suck the life out of my lips. These are forgiving even on textured/dry lips because of it's rich pigmentation. Each one of these are pretty consistent throughout in terms of color payoff and texture. You won't experience any patchiness in these at all. I love how they look all very dark, but still distinguished with their differences. The packaging on these is simple and straightforward. It's the same as Lonely Planet Co's liquid lipstick packaging where the tube is clear so that you can see the shade, and the logo/name are on the cap. This also include the ingredient list on the side of the tube so you know what's in them. I think it's very neat, and the pin-up looking greenish zombie girl logo is very inviting. For the price and quality of this line of liquid lipsticks, I highly recommend these to everyone who's into liquid lipsticks, dark/vamp lip colors, and makeup addicts!
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!

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!
