Sugar Cookie
Sugar Cookie is a light-medium beige with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly across my lips. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and fluid enough to spread well across my lips without streaking. While there was slight separation along my deeper lip lines, I was impressed by how flexible the product felt on my lips as these lighter, more muted shades often have a thicker consistency/look to them and are even more prone to cracking and going on unevenly. It lasted nicely for five hours and was slightly drying toward the end of wear. The lipstick had a sweet vanilla scent and a touch of sweetness in taste.

Hot Buttered Rum
Hot Buttered Rum is a medium brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly across and along the edges of my lips, but it separated a bit along my deeper lip lines as it dried down. The texture was lightweight, flulid, and smooth without feeling heavy or taking too long to dry down (but gave me enough time to maneuver the color into place). It wore well for five and a half hours and was non-drying. It had a noticeable, sweet, buttery scent and a touch of sweetness in taste.

Pumpkin Spice
Pumpkin Spice is a muted coral with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The color payoff was opaque in one layer, while the consistency was lightweight, fluid, and smooth without being too thin or too thick. I had no trouble spreading the color across my lips for even coverage that dried down fairly quickly. There was a bit of separation along my deeper lip lines, though I didn’t feel like it was noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade stayed on well for five and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. It had a slightly sweet and spicy (like pumpkin pie spice) scent and a touch of sweetness in taste.

Cinnamon Bear
Cinnamon Bear is a medium-dark copper-red with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, fluid consistency that wasn’t too thick or too thin, so the color spread easily across my lips but didn’t gather in my lip lines or take too long to dry down. It had a transfer-proof finish after it had dried down that had a bit of flex so it was fairly comfortable to wear. It lasted for eight six hours and was slightly drying toward the eighth hour of wear. It had a noticeable, spicy, cinnamon scent and a touch of sweetness in taste.

I like these! Nice color variety.
Kudos to Jerrod for using Stevia instead of sodium saccharin in these! Thank you so much, Mr. Blandino! 💝
Okay, so I’m over the moon at seeing how these look so beautiful on, are non-drying, and have NO sodium saccharin. A huge plus for the millions of people out here who suffer from sulfa allergies.
I love these! So wearable and nice fall colors!
Cinnamon Bear is so pretty.
Very nice. The only one that appeals and would work for me is Cinnamon Bear and I seriously have 5 of the dupes that are on the first page of dupes, LOL. Clearly a colour I like. I think I can skip this.
I just swatched this in store and the only color that might give me issue is the pumpkin pie one. Who else wants to see this size available for all liquid lipsticks? I will never finish the “deluxe sample size” of any I own, forget about full size. Love this set and I’m struggling to not get it during the Rouge sale.
I got this with my Ulta 20% and am loving the set. I love every shade as well as the scents and overall theme. Too Faced’s holiday collection has overall been so good this year (at least what I’ve tried).
