YAAAAAY MORE LIQUID
LIPSTICKS TO ADD TO MY OBSESSIVE COLLECTION! I’ve got a problem; I’m gonna hold
my hands up and say now that I can’t even enter a store or scroll through a
beauty website without wanting to add about twelve liquid lippies to my basket.
Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks have been on my radar for about six
months. Six looong months. And now I own two!
I decided that I wanted
to go for the really popular cult-faves that have been teasing me on Instgram:
Bow ‘n’ Arrow and Damned. I’m almost certain you’ll have heard of these shades
before, just because they’re so beautiful and are being adored by some of my
favourite bloggers and YouTubers.
Damned is a bloody, gory,
black-red shade that I absolutely adored when I looked up swatch posts. It’s a
perfect vampy red, and one I can see myself wearing for special occasions and
nights out. HOWEVER, there’s an issue. I’m not so sure if the pictures show it,
but this formula is quite runny and quite thin. It took me a long time to get
it to look even, but luckily, I managed, and I do love the colour.
Bow ‘n’ Arrow is a
peachy, beige nude. It’s beautiful beyond words, and I like it so much more
than I expected to. It’s paler than the nudes I usually reach for. I normally
choose a deeper brownish nude, so I wasn’t really expecting to be slapping it
on on a daily basis. This one is super opaque and long-wearing, and I really
REALLY LOVE IT CAN YOU TELL?!?!
There’s a couple of
little things that do irk me slightly about KVD’s Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks.
The wands are HELLA long. Like, I feel like I’m trying to apply the lipstick
from about a foot away from my face. It’s hard to get used to, as I’m so used
to applying liquid lippies with the standard, shorter wands. I’m working on it,
though, and it’s getting slightly more manageable.
The other thing is that I
do find these liquid lipsticks to be quite drying. I know that there are many
liquid lipsticks that DO dry the lips (it’s more usual than not, I think!) but
these felt particularly chalky and seemed to make my lips feel super duper
chapped. I try not to wear these shades when I know my lips are already quite
dry (aka always), and I do make a real effort to moisturise the absolute crap
out of my lips overnight so I can wear them the next day.
Having said this, there’s
definitely a few more shades of the Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks on my wishlist.
I love the look of Lolita, Exorcism and Witches and hopefully they’ll be
sliding through my letterbox in the near future.
Lots of love,
