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.

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

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.

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.

Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick Review

Reccently I had the opportunity to try out Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipsticks. I have only tried two of his lipstick shades. I know that in the past with other cometic lines sometimes the formula will vary from lip shade to lip shade. I am only reviewing the two lip colors I have tried.

First let's talk packaging. I personally really like it. The only thing I don't like, and I'm sad to say it are all the stars on the lid. I totally I understand why they are on the bottle and could get 2 or 3, but I just think all those stars almost make the lipstick tube or bottle look cheesy. Just my opinon. It doesn't effect the product. With that said, the bottles themselves are simple. No crazy shapes or designs. GOOD! I like it. I like the neon pink caps and clear wands. I also like that the wands are slightly curved to better fit the shape of one's lips. 

So the two shades I managed to get my hands on are Blow Pony and I'm Royality. Both of these shades are beautiful shades of purple. 

Blow Pony: "The pastel neon is a gorgeous shade of matte lavender." -Jeffree Star website
As it is said on Jeffree's website is it a beautiful shade of matte lavender. It is a real lavender shade and just as it is claimed it dries with a matte finish.



I'm Royality: "A Royal Purple for any diva that wants to make a statement." -Jeffree Star website
This shade reminds me of Prince. Haha. It is a wonderful shade of dark royal purple. This liquid lipstick dries with a matte finish as well. This is my perfered shade out of the two simple because of the color.



Over all I enjoyed both liquid lipsticks. They worked great and were exactly what they were made out to be by Jefree as well as other artist and reviewers. If you are interested in puchasing these liquid lipsticks you can find them at jeffreestarcosmetics.com. They cost $18.00 US each.

I will personally go out and seek more of these liquid lipsticks. I really enjoyed using them. They applied nice and smooth. They lasted a really long time, all day! Plus I absolutely love some of the shades Jeffree has to offer. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the box below.
