Too Faced La Crème in Jelly Bean

I love a good red lipstick, but I find it can be really hard to find one that not only has a great formula, but is flattering on my skin tone. I find that a lot of reds can look too bold, or can make my skin look super pale. I think I may have found a real winner in Too Faced La Crème in Jelly Bean* though!

"Indulge lips with luxurious color and super moisturizers including white lotus flower and power peptides. This rich formula comes in abundant shades in four essential color ranges: nudes, spices, pinks, and reds. Edited to only the most fashionable shades, it’s impossible to pick just one." - Sephora

Too Faced La Crème lip sticks come packaged in this beautiful sleek gold tubes, I absolutely love the packaging! There's a monogrammed "TF" on top of the lid, and "Too Faced" etched down the side of the tube. There isn't any scent to these lipsticks - not that I can detect anyways! These La Crème lip sticks are incredibly creamy, and they feel really nice and lush on my lips. Since this formula is so creamy, it isn't super long-wearing. On my lips, Jelly Bean lasts for about 3 hours before I have to reapply. This formula doesn't last throughout eating or drinking, but that doesn't bother me too much because I love reapplying lip products anyways.

Jelly Bean is a beautiful raspberry red shade with a somewhat sheer formula. While this colour does give nice pigmentation on my lips, I wouldn't say that it is fully opaque. I really love this type of pigmentation, and I think that it would be perfect for someone wanting a colourful lip without going too bold. 

I think that this shade is a real winner, I can't stop wearing it! It's the perfect berry-red for me - not too bold and not too sheer. Have you tried any of Too Faced  La Crèmes? I have my eyes on Berry Sexy and Bon Bon! If you have any shade recommendations, I'd love to hear them!
