We’re getting a snowstorm today! I live in the south, where this is quite rare, so it’s sort of exciting in a way. It’s always fun to see snowflakes and take some pictures of it. What is even weirder to me, though, is doing posts about spring makeup items when it’s sleeting outside right now! Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in “Lollipop” is a brand new addition to their La Creme Lipstick range. In the best way possible, this shade is screaming 80’s to me. It’s a gorgeous sparkling violet shade with orchid shimmer in it. It’s just enough 80’s to be really pretty and bold, yet still flattering.
Lollipop is a bright violet with a noticeable orchid shimmer. If you’ve never tried one of Too Faced’s La Creme Lipsticks before, I highly recommend checking them out in store at Ulta or Sephora. They’re super pigmented, rich, and creamy. Lollipop actually has a semi-sheer quality to it. You can layer it on and have it be completely opaque, but you can also just swipe it once or twice and have it look more on the sheer side. It almost reminds me of a jelly nail polish, where the shimmer is suspended in a slightly sheer base. It’s really a stunning shade for all eye colors, and it’s a great way to wear violet lipstick without being over-the-top.
You can see the stunning shimmer in the swatch above. It is just so beautiful in person. As soon as I swatched this in Ulta, I knew I had to take it home. It’s just very, very feminine and pretty. I like that I can swipe it once or twice for sheer color or several times for a really rich, opaque violet color. It gives me options!
You can see the bright pops of shimmer suspended within the lipstick. It sort of glows bright orchid and blue inside. It’s not sticky or gritty at all, and it feels nice on the lips. I applied these swatches with a heavy hand so you can really see the color, but believe me, you can also wear this with a lighter hand and have it be more subtle.
Totally tubular 1980’s! In the best way possible, of course.
If you’ve got blue or green eyes, the violet will make them pop and stand out even more. If you’ve got brown eyes, the shimmer and reflects in the lipstick will really make your brown eyes look warm and glowing. It’s a great shade for the warmer months coming!
