It's that time of year again when makeup companies release some limited edition Holiday goodies and today I will be reviewing one of those products. Last year, I was very excited to purchase the limited edition Candy Cane lipstick by Too Faced (links to blog posts where this is mentioned here -
haul &
favs) and this year they have followed it up with a 'Gingerbread Man' version. As soon as I heard about this product coming out I made sure to keep up with its release. About two weeks ago, Too Faced put this product on their website for $21 (same as other lipsticks with this formula and last year's). I purchased it right away and just received it today!
In my package was the lipstick, two samples, and a 20% (one-time use) coupon code that I will be posting at the end of this post for one lucky reader to redeem! Now the lipstick came it decorated packaging, as seen in the photo below.

I love the component the lipstick comes in and the detail that was put into it. Overall the presentation of this product gets and A+ from me. The lipstick is not only called 'Gingerbread Man' because of the design, but also because of its color and smell! Too Faced is known for scenting many of there products and collections, which has become a huge reason for the popularity of their products, in my opinion. The smell of this lipstick is so sweet and does remind me of a baked good. I wouldn't necessarily guess gingerbread if I wasn't aware of its intended smell, but it is smells great anyway! Last year's lipstick smelled more closely to its name, candy cane, than this years to me. I still very much like the scent and concept of this lipstick. Moving on to formula, this lipstick is just like all of Too Faced's other lipsticks in this formula. It is a matte, longwearing lipstick that is very comfortable on the lips. I personally love this formula and own three other lipsticks from this range. Lastly, the color of this lipstick is better than I expected. Initially I bought this for the novelty of it and because it coordinates with last year's release. I wasn't expecting this brick-red and brown color to flatter me at all, but it does! This is such a beautiful fall and winter shade that I can see myself wearing for the rest of 2017. I absolutely love it, check out a swatch down below!

I think this is a great buy for anyone who loves lipsticks, makeup, and Too Faced in general. This would be beautiful on all skin-tones because it is not a typical nude or brown shade. I highly recommend people pick this up on Sephora or Too Faced's website!
