Don't have much text. It's the description of a lipstick:

Thanks a lot

Hor silver
Argento a caldo is a printing method, and without more context I can't assume too much. Since we're talking about a lipstick, and presumably should be appealing, hot silver could be appropriated...:)

hot foil
'argento a caldo' is a technique for pressing thin sheets of foil and using it to decorate - similar to gold leaf - also known as 'foil imaging.'
[see Web reference 1 below]
I guess someone's invented a lipstick which mimics the colour/quality of this process.
I'd be tempted to call it 'metallic silver' or 'chrome' - but those words already exist in Italian - so it has to be a slightly literal translation.
foil (paper coated as with tin, used for wrapping, etc.) (paper mfg.), carta metallizzata.

Discussion
Could it refer to the packaging or label design? If you Google "argento a caldo", it's always preceded by "stampa". Something like silver foil lettering, perhaps?
