Swatch Sunday: Too Faced Hot Buttered Rum
These mini palettes by Too Faced have a real tendency to speak to me. I just love the tiny compact packaging, and generally the themes are right up my alley too.
Although I’ve not been overly enamored by Too Faced‘s holiday offerings this year, the one item I was definitely into was this Hot Buttered Rum palette. It’s rare that I find a neutral palette interesting, but this one seemed a bit more fun than most. I like that there’s a deep rusty, warm shade as well as a deep mustard – those two really sold the palette for me.
The palette is scented… and I’m sure it’s supposed to smell like hot buttered rum, but I mostly just get a faint sweet and gingery scent off of it.

The 5 Lipsticks I Wore Last Week
I feel like I’m constantly trying to show enough love to all of the lipsticks in my collection… which means it’s an ever rotating list of the ones I’ve worn every day! Here’s the latest 5 lipsticks that have been on my lips.
This is an OLD lip product that I recently dug out because I wanted something lighter and easier to wear. Something that was my lips, but better, and something that would wipe off easily when I was going out to a restaurant to eat. I got the Cailyn Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss in Basic Instinct in an Ipsy bag a very long time ago, and I’ve used it off and on since then.
And as I said – this one is just EASY to wear. It’s comfortable and has just the right amount of gloss. Although the brand refers to this as a lip gloss… I’d never call it that. This is just a lipstick in a tube with a high shine finish. It’s definitely quite creamy and has opaque coverage. If you wanna see me applying it, I’m using it in my recent Get Ready With Me video.
Although Too Faced has long since discontinued their Melted lipstick range, I still wear them ALL the time. Melted Melon is a summertime staple for me – it’s a gorgeous vibrant coral shade that is utterly luminescent. And if you still have it in your collection – dig it back out because it’s beautiful!
Apparently I’ve not worn this lipstick shade much on camera or for the blog, because it was hard to find a picture of me wearing it. The only one I could find was a thumbnail from an old video featuring my Makeup Geek collection.
More of a muted peach, Bite Beauty‘s Lit Turmeric has been a great shade to pair with yellow eyeshadow looks (I’ve been wearing a lot them lately). The faded orange tones in the lipstick make it a bit less loud of a colour on the lips, so it’s great for easy makeup days.
And what can I say about Bite‘s lipstick formula other than that it is absolutely flawless and there truly isn’t a dud in their Amuse Bouche lipstick range. I love the creamy texture, the longevity and the scent/taste of them. Hands down they are one of the best lipstick formulas on the market.
Which is why I’m talking about another one by Bite! I’d say, without fail, I wear at least one Bite lipstick a week just because they’re so good. Pickled Ginger is the shade above and it’s one of those colours that absolutely screams my name. I love anything neon coral – which is exactly what this is.
You really can’t go wrong with Pickled Ginger. I feel like it lights up my whole face!
Too Faced calls their Peach Kiss lipstick in Disrobed a “warm peach nude”. I pair this lipstick shade with so many different eyeshadow colours and it works so well with each of them.
It’s funny… I wouldn’t normally think the warmer tones of a lipstick like this would work with the cooler purples on my eyes… but Disrobed is really transformative. If you’re looking for an easy to wear shade to go with your bright eyeshadow colours… I’d suggest this one!
How about you? What lipstick shades have been gracing your lips lately?
The first two lipsticks mentioned were purchased by me, the remaining three were PR samples quite a long time ago. Post contains affiliate links.
