One of the things that I heard from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cupcake_goth during my recent visit was that Melt Cosmetics may have a replacement for my beloved but discontinued MAC Studded Kiss lipstick. For me that's the One True Lipstick, so you can imagine the excitement with which I visited their site.
I did the best I could to match colors and ordered Dark Room. Unfortunately, the internet struck again and I got something that was more berry than Studded Kiss's brick. (I'm not wearing either in the pic above, if you were wondering.) Dark Room seems to be a dead ringer for Fenty's Griselda, without the latter's annoying slimline packaging.
Melt seems to use vanillin as a scent. I'm not crazy about that, but oddly they're not the only maker that does that.
How are the look, feel, and wear? Right on! I'd say comparable to MAC, and even better, i.e. less drying, than some shades of MAC that I own. I'm going to try another Melt shade in the hopes that that's the replacement for Studded Kiss. If it is, I'll be ordering a crate of it.
I also ordered the pure black Bane lipstick, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm waiting for the right occasion.
