Too Faced Marcia Marcia Marcia & Pixie Stick Throw Back Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Marcia Marcia Marcia
Too Faced Marcia Marcia Marcia Throw Back Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a vibrant, medium fuchsia pink with cool, bluish undertones and iridescent sparkle and shimmer. It seemed like a mix of pink, teal, and fuchsia sparkly bits that caught the light and reflected it back with a high-shine finish and lots of sparkle. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and didn’t emphasize my lip lines. The consistency was smooth, creamy without being heavy and had moderate slip, which made it comfortable to wear, though it didn’t seem too slippery (but definitely didn’t grip as much as the average lipstick). It wore well for five hours and left a faint stain behind and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.1 oz. - $220.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "creamy, comfortable wear" with "full-coverage" pigmentation and a "multi-reflective glitter finish for high-pigment sparkle payoff." If you aren't a fan of glitter, just skip to the next lipstick formula, because this is for glitter lovers. Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage with a few that had sheerer coverage. For as glitter-packed as they were, they felt creamy and smooth being applied and had minimal grittiness even as they wore away. They had average wear--around four hours--with some of the shades that were prone to staining lingering for closer to six hours. The formula was hydrating and easy to wear--these were the very definition of fun and so on-brand for Too Faced. They finally found a way to inject glitter in all of the ways and actually have it work pretty well.

Pixie Stick
Too Faced Pixie Stick Throw Back Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a rich purple with warm, pink undertones and purple, violet, and bluish sparkle and glitter. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, but there was a bit of product that sunk into my lip lines. I did not find it noticeable in person due to the shinier finish and how much the sparkles/glitters caught the light. It had a smooth, lightweight consistency with moderate slip, which helped it spread easily across my lips and feel comfortable to wear. This shade stayed on well for five hours, left a soft pinkish stain behind, and was moisturizing while worn.

I really love Marcia x’s 3, even though I don’t think it would look all that great on me. It is a stunner, though!
Pixie Stick looks like a super fun shade of purple! Again, I’m not so sure it would work on me personally, but STILL.?
Marcia x 3 is a good way to write it, LOL!
Pixie Stick is beautiful, but the glitter makes it an easy pass for me. I love how glitter looks, but I hate wearing it.
Darn!
Oh, I was waiting for your review on Marcia Marcia Marcia. I’m getting this lipstick. It looks beautiful. I had finished the UD Big Bang awhile ago. Can’t wait to get this! Thanks for your review Christine.
I think it might be better than Big Bang!
Yes, I see that this lipstick got a better reviiew. I’m sold! I love shimmery lipsticks. And, fushia. I have too many corals orange-reds, & warm pinks. So, this will be coming home with me.
Stunning vibrant shades and the purple one has performed really well.
They were really fun to test!
I definitely want these!
Awesome!
