Melt Cosmetics Estrella, Colibri, Concha Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Estrella
Melt Cosmetics Estrella Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a rich, deeper gold with moderate, warm undertones–not quite antique-leaning but not that orange-based either–with a smooth, metallic shine. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, but it was a little overly emollient, so I preferred to give it a little time (like five seconds) to “dry” before applying it to my lid and this ensured a more even, fuller coverage application. It stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or flaking.

Colibri
Melt Cosmetics Colibri Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a deep, rich teal with cool, blue undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was emollient without being too slippery, so it was fluid and easy to work with as an eyeliner or as a cream eyeshadow. It had rich color payoff in a single layer, and a little went a long way. It wore nicely for 10 hours without fading or thinning on me.

Concha
Melt Cosmetics Concha Pigment Paint ($19.00 for 0.084 oz.) is a bright, darker fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented in a single layer, which applied evenly to skin and was fluid to work with as the texture was creamy, smooth, and spreadable without being too emollient. It lasted well for 10 hours without fading or thinning.

Ohhhh I wish the pink one was for eyeliner!!!!
So… does Melt have any sales coming up anyone? 😛 😛
I think they have 25% off right now, though I don’t know if it applies to these… can’t recall the end date, lol!
Colibri is an absolute hero of a product – beautifully shaded and the formula is excellent. I really liked Estrella too, that rich, molten gold that leans antiquey is just beautiful.
I might wear colibri every day of my life. It’s so beautiful I can’t.
Man, these are knocking my socks off! I know that I would love to get Colibri and Estrella, if possible. Both are so beautiful and festive!
Colibri is so amazing!
It’s a colour I’d normally wouldn’t consider but I really, really want this one. I have a dupe, but I think this one is more unique, if one can say it like that.
Wow, the usual knock out of the park for Melt gel liners.. Colibri is gorg, but greens are not great on me. I went to order Estrella on Melt site and also pick up the matte black.. but matte black s/o there as well. Sigh!
Colibri is BEAUTIFUL and I really should have snagged it during their free shipping promotion.
