Too Faced La Creme Lipstick Spring 2013 Shades

Too Faced has extended their incredible La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream Collection to include four new shades for Spring 2013. New colors include Loganberry, So Berry Sexy, Teddy Berry, and Bumbleberry.

Being a great lover of the La Creme Lipstick formula I was very excited to check these new shades out.

Take a look!

La Creme is such a game changer for the cream lipstick world. It’s one of the best cream lipsticks I’ve ever tried. I tend to dislike cream lipsticks as they look dry on me and the shades go kinda mod…I dunno it just isn’t a flattering finish for me. But Too Faced really perfects the formula and the finish of the traditional cream lipstick.

These are rich, creamy, pigmented, and have an easy glide across lips without tugging. They apply like a dream, have a soft, smooth finish, and pack a ton of pigment. On top of that they have a slightly glossy finish and a very hydrating wear. All of this is unheard of when it comes to cream textured lipsticks or at least that’s been the case for me.

Some of us are eyeshadow girls, some love blushes, others lipsticks. I consider myself an eyeshadow girl so I don’t have a ton of lipstick formulas that I favor and must have. However, La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream definitely falls into my HG list of must own lipsticks.

Having been so recently introduced I think the new Spring shades were a surprise for me. Brands tend to introduce a product, particularly a great one, and let it fall to the sidelines sometimes so I was SO happy that Too Faced added new shades for Spring. They have an excellent lipstick here and maintaining the line for fans is a smart, smart way to keep the attention of those fans and even gain new ones who never tried the product but will be lured in by a bigger variety of shades.

The other thing I was happy about was the shades they choose to go with. These are so damn wearable. Sometimes brands introduce new shades and tend to go with odd colors particularly since this is a Spring launch. You kinda get that scary “Lets introduce pastel shades of pink for Spring!” thing going on and I just find that not a whole lot of people are going to want a mod shade of pink lipstick. I just don’t think it’s a universally flattering shade but seems to wriggle its way into Spring releases. Too Faced smartly went with colors we’d wear daily but aren’t necessarily about the season.

Again, very smart of them.

Shades:

  • Teddy Berry (dusty berry rose)
  • So Berry Sexy (fuchsia berry)
  • Bumbleberry (rose garnet)
  • Loganberry (berry pink)

I do highly recommend checking these shades out. Aside from So Berry Sexy I found all the shades gorgeous additions to my lipstick wardrobe. These are shades you’ll reach for and use daily with all your looks. Who doesn’t need a beautifully textured lipstick to complete their makeup look?

La Creme has my highest approval and rec.

These are a beautiful lipstick worthy of a pick up.

Anyone love ’em?

Tried the new Spring shades?

Do share!

    When these lip cremes first came out, I bought a bunch of them. I loved the texture and color. Unfortunately, the color fades like nothing I have ever experienced before. Without eating or drinking, the color will fade by about 60% in an hour on my lips! IDK why this happens?! I wonder if they have tweaked the formula on these new shades?

    • the Muse

      interesting I never had an issue! 🙁 sorry to hear it dixiee! formula feels the same as the old shades so don’t think anything improved!

  • Nadia

    You look great in every single shade! I want to try these lipsticks 🙂 on a side note, I tried the new nars concealer before reading your review and I didn’t like it as well 🙁 found it drying and not radiant at all!

    • the Muse

      nadia same le sigh! def not a great product…not drying thankfully but not coverage 🙁 not brightness, not the flawless concealer I was hoping for!

  • Jennifer Pham

    I’d love to see your HG picks for various makeup categories, because you’ve tried so many products consistently!

  • Bella

    Are you sure the swatch names are in the right order? I stared at them and tried to match them to the lip swatches and lipstick tube pics for 5 minutes and got confused 🙂

  • SF

    Lip person here and I must own them ALL!!! I love this formula is so creamy and it glides like a dream!!!

  • blueraccoon

    I grabbed these in Bumbleberry and Teddy Berry and I have to admit I’m considering going back for the other two. I love this formula and the colors are so up my alley!

  • Icequeen81

  • jen_m_sunshine

To the point where I just replaced my petal fresh lip treatmnt with these inmy sephora shopping bag in hopes they look half as nice on me! Haven’t tried this formula yet so excited to give them a go! Serious muse, you look just gorgeous!!!!!

    • the Muse

    “Todays the day the teddy bears have their pic-NIC!” I seriously want Teddy and Bumble for the adorable names alone. Where is the Heffalumpberry?

  • bibi
