Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks Review

A few weeks ago I had found myself inside a Sephora for the first time in quite a long time. Two items I have been specifically on the hunt for have been an long lasting liquid lipstick, and a great highlighter. I had enough time to check out almost every cosmetic line, as I like to. I have already tried quite a few liquid lipsticks and have found a variety of problems with all of them. Kat Von D was one of the few brands I had yet to try out when it came to the liquid lipstick category, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

(Left to Right) Nosferatu & Lovecraft
I have tried a few of KVD's products such as her eye shadow palettes, lipsticks, and lip glosses. Over all I didn't get the quality I was hoping for, but was most disappointed in the lipsticks and glosses. The lipsticks didn't last, and color pay off was barely there. The glosses were tacky and sticky making them super annoying to wear. Since then I have seen some huge improvements. I've seen the quality of the Kat Von D products go up 100%.

I first decided to swatch the everlasting liquid lipsticks in store to see which color seemed to last, and what they actually looked like out of the tube. I was happy to see her most vibrant colors seemed to stay the best. Some colors even stained my skin forcing me to use an oil based remover to get it off. I was also happy to see a wide variety of colors. They range from more natural and muted tones, all the way to vibrant reds and electric blue and purples. I chose to purchase a deep red called Nosferatu & a more neutral tone called Lovecraft.

Once I got home and was able to apply the lipsticks to my lips I found them to be very light. By light I mean you don't get that caked on feeling. Your lip do not feel like they are wear a coat of something. The lipstick also does not dry out your lips. As long as you apply your liquid lipstick to clean dry lips, your lipstick should stay in place and not crack or dry. The liquid lipstick also apply to lips very smoothly. The lipstick itself is very creamy and smooth making it easy to move and spread. Lastly Kat Von D's everlasting liquid lipstick ever-lasted! It lasted hours! When I say hours I am not over exaggerating. It last through out me talking, working, drinking, and eating my dinner. Yes, you will have to touch it up after fully eating, however touch ups are minor and typically just in the center of the lips.

Lovecraft & Nosferatu

Lovecraft / Nosferatu
You can find Kat Von D's liquid lipsticks at Sephora, or anywhere KVD make up is sold. One everlasting liquid lipstick at Sephora will run you $26 CND / $20 US. As far as pricing goes for the quality and amount of product you get I say this is very fair. The tube are actually pretty long, and are completely filled.

Nosferatu

Over all I was very happy with my experience testing Kat Von D's everlasting liquid lipstick. I am very excited to purchase more shade for my kit. It has honestly become my go to lipstick because of how light it feels on your lips and how long it lasts.

I hope you found this review helpful, if not at least entertaining. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to leave a comment below.

Today's Look... 'Wearable' Daytime Look

Today's look is a much more 'wearable' then looks I usually do. Today I wanted my makeup to obviously look good, & make me feel good, but something that took little effort and was easy.

This is also a great look for travelling, simply because every color, expect the blue under my eyes are all included in one palette, Urban Decay's awesome Naked 2.

Today's Look... Mi Vida Loca

Today's look was based off of Kat Von D's Spring 2012 palette; Mi Vida Loca.

This palette is filled with the shades that fill the rainbow. They blend beautifully together to create a colorful, but soft look.

Here is what I managed to come up with...

Kat Von D's Mi Vida Loca Palette Review

Kat Von D has create a awesomely beautiful bright, perfect for spring palette called Mi Vida Loca. Right away I had already made the assumption that this would be my favorite Kat Von D palette. I was extremely excited to see Kat come out with a palette that was not only darker, or neutral colors, but something with a little more pop.

 



This palette has already been released but is still quite new (created for Spring 2012). You can pick it up at Sephora online or in stores for $36.00 USD.

Today's Look... Gold Slick

Continuing in the theme of gold today, I wanted to try something I have never done before. Ive seen people like Kat Von D, and other bloggers online try somewhat the same look. Basically what I did was have my right eye look different from my left eye, but still kinda match. Ill show you what I mean...

I decided to go with black and gold, being two classic color that look great on most eyes. Also using black or a darker shade allowed me more room to create a smokey effect. I really like the way it turned out. :)

Soda Pop Series: 7 Up

Day #5: 7 Up
I created a limey UV bright look for 7 Up. It was a fun look to create because it was one of the pops that gave you the most colors to play with. I also love any excuse to mix a lime green and yellow together. I added in the red on the bottom of the eye to use all colors of the signature pop can. :)

Today's Look... Space Case

Today I named my look Space Case because while I was doing my makeup the colors I was using reminded me of something spacey. Maybe reminded me of the different colors of planets and the deep dark blue/black abyss. Sometimes I don't know why I name things the things I name them, I just do. lol.
This is what I managed to come up with...

 

There will be a list of products used, as well as more pictures below!

Stila;Trendsetting in Tokyo & Kat Von D's Autograph Eyeliner

Today I got a lovely little gift, via myself (lol) from Sephora. I knew it would be coming in today and was very excited. I had my eye on the Tokyo Set for a little while now. Sadly it was sold out for a while, but has now come back into stock. I was also extremely excited to FINALLY be trying Kat Von D's eyeliner because of all the raving I have been hearing about it. I have heard very good things for this product. Unfortunately the color I wanted was sold out, but I was able to grab another. :)

 

Either way I have managed to swatch and take pictures of all the colors. I also managed to use all the colors, and both products today. Over all I was very happy with the results. First up is my very first Stila product. Tokyo Palette, next will be Kat Von D's Autograph Eyeliner.

Today's Look... Dollipop Pink

Today is a very simple, quick n easy look.

I started by applying my lid base. I then applied Tako (White) by Sugar Pill, and Saint (White Pearl) from Kat Von D to my lid. Only to my lid, not the whole eye. I then added Dollipop (Pink) also by Sugar Pill to the crease. I blended out the pink Dollipop and got it to the height beneath my brow I wanted. Then added more Tako as my brow highlight. Black liquid liner by E.L.F on top lid and lining bottom corner of lid. Mascara (Smash Box's Bionic) top and bottom and your set. On my cheeks Im just wearing a pale pink, almost peachy. Sadly I don't have a name for the product.

 

This look was not made to be super complicated. This is something I would throw on quickly before work, or before rushing out the door. Either way I like it because it still bright & cute, but also simple and clean.

Enjoy!
