The five new La Creme Lipsticks in the Spring 2014 Haute Chocolate Collection from Too Faced are so creamy — so dreamy — that I almost forgot about the citrus tree-killing cold snap outside. (Grrr… I think it eighty-sixed my beloved dwarf orange tree.)
Someone pass me some hot tea and another pair of socks, thanks!
I love that these crazy opaque colors evoke spring without going the usual pastel route, and they’re oh, so smooth…
Hello, it’s the ’80s calling on this giant old-school cordless phone. Is Karen there??
Why, yes. Yes, she is. 🙂
I think I may have worn something like Lollipop to the eighth-grade dance in 1989…along with my Jessica McClintock dress, haha! — except that this is an updated version with smaller flecks of glitter.
I’d wear this one with a peach or coral cheek because pairing it with a blush shade too similar to the color of the lipstick could look a little dated (picture Joan Cusack in Working Girl).
I love Taffy because — well, because it’s delicious. 🙂
But seriously, I love warm peachy pink nude Taffy because it doesn’t look washed out or unnatural; it just might be my new favorite everyday lip shade. I bet it would look amaze-balls with with smokey eyes!
Oh, but you might want to pat it down when you first apply to smooth it out, because I’ve noticed that Taffy likes to hang out in my vertical lip lines (how rude!).
Doesn’t bright creamy red Jelly Bean look like a purr-fect partner for black cat liner? Cat lady says, “MEOW!”
Same goes for creamy coral pink Bon Bon. Both shades have pigment that’s off the charts! Totally opaque, and they feel fabulously smooth.
And then there’s Pink Chocolate — sort of an updated version of a ’90s brown lip. If you were to wear it with a plaid shirt and Timbaland boots and blast Biggie and Lil’ Kim, you’d be reliving my college experience, LOL!
Of all five shades here, it’s the least pigmented, but by no means would I call it sheer. More like “semi-opaque cream.”
They’re unflavored, but the lot of ’em smell faintly of marshmallows to me. Wear time clocks in around 3-4 hours for the more pigmented ones, and a little less for the others.
Look for the five new La Cremes, along with the rest of the Too Faced spring 2014 Haute Chocolate collection, at toofaced.com starting December 12.
Hi Karen,
Too Faced La Crème in Lollipop looks GORGEOUS on you! It seems like a complementary shade to Pantone’s Color the Year for 2014 🙂
Now this is my kinda dessert! I love these colors! And I agree about taffy. Super pretty.
Lollipop is my kind of color! Looks gorgeous!
Pink chocolate is so pretty!!
You’re a lil’ kim fan? 😀 Me too! That Bon Bon shade looks so gorgeous!
@Lauren Is that a joke? I’m not really a fan of lil Kim. My full name’s actually Kimberly.
I think Lauren’s talking about this paragraph from the post – “And then there’s Pink Chocolate — sort of an updated version of a ’90s brown lip. If you were to wear it with a plaid shirt and Timbaland boots and blast Biggie and Lil’ Kim, you’d be reliving my college experience, LOL!”
December 12? I soo cannot wait. I love Bon Bon the most. Pink Chocolate is my second pick. I love how Lollipop looks on you but I highly doubt I could pull it off.
Ohhhh! I get it. Thanks Karen!
Karen,
Are you wearing Flush Blush in peach with these lipsticks?
I’d like to try the Lollipop but am curious about what color blush to wear.
All those pretty lip colors.
I really have to go out and buy one of the lipsticks from too faced! They look so buttery and creamy! Are they moisturizing enuf Karen?
While Lollipop is completely hot, I’ve been looking for something like pink chocolate!
Such a vast range of shades. Glad to see there’s something for everyone. I love Jelly Bean (s). 🙂
Looks buttery and very creamyy!
Oh haaai Bon Bon! I am SO SO predictable that way, but I’ve wanted to try this formula for a while and I was eyeing Coral Fire. Maybe I should start with Bon Bon instead!
So glad to see I was right on the money in my early picks of Jelly Bean and Bon Bon. I recently cleared out some unused makeup, but all of my La Cremes stayed put. Fab formula.
First of all, I’m so sorry about your tree! I hope it can rebound. 🙁
Second, and much less importantly, you won’t be surprised that Pink Chocolate caught my eye. Stuck in the 90s with lip color preferences? Yes, yes I am. 🙂
Thanks. I’ve been waiting for that thing to bear fruit for years and THE ONE TIME IT ACTUALLY DOES…sigh.
Speaking of the ’90s, I’ve been watching re-watching Angel on Netflix and oh my gosh, the makeup! So much brown lipstick awesomeness. 😀
Oh, and a few comments back I think you mentioned Almost Human. I’ve been watching it and LOVING IT!
I know! I felt so sorry for you with the tree. I remember being super excited when you showed the pic with all the little oranges. I’m crossing my fingers for it!
OMG, I could seriously watch re-runs of Angel a LOT. I’m so stuck in the 90s with lip color, but you’ll be proud that I’ve worn gloss every day for the last 5 or so. Even (brace yourself) Glittermaia from the Gloss in Love samples. It’s very sheer but looks seriously orange in the package so I feel like I’m experimenting with color. 🙂
I did! I’m loving it, too. They have great banter. It’s my fave new show in a long time. I hardly ever have time to watch TV (on the nights the shows are on) but I’ve been making a real effort to catch each of these eps on Monday nights.
And I’m sorry I never got pics of the kitten to you. He’s living in the tree now so if we ever get the boys’ pics for the Christmas cards, he’ll probably be in the background! 🙂
Taffy is ma BUSINESS! I’m going to order that ASAP, I think it’s going to be fabulosity.
I was so so excited for Jelly Bean but it looks quite pink! I was hoping for a red with a slight pink undertone.. hmm.. suppose I’ll stick with Dragon Girl.
I’m loving the pink chocolate but I’m concerned that it’s Too Faced’s Teddy Berry repackaged. Anybody compared them yet?
You looked so beautiful with Lollipop and Bon Bon! I love these lipsticks I have one in the color in the buff!
Hiya! I know this is a fairly old post but I just wanted to say I’m happy you’re on the internet because you’re such a great resource – often when I’m looking for swatches I google the product and your blog because you’re so likely to have them 🙂
