Why you NEED a Liquid Lipstick

We all want bold lips for a night out.  We don't however want it sliding, bleeding, or coming off.  We are asking for too much.  NOT ANYMORE!  

I picked up one of Kat Von D's Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick last summer in the shade Lolita (dusty rose color) and I fell in love with the lasting power of these lipsticks.  What I loved the most was that they are as MATTE as they come. The packaging in the past was faulty I think.  It would sometimes pour out when I would put the doe foot applicator back in.  They have repackaged their new lipsticks into a longer, fuller (I mean Oz.) cuter packaging.  I have not experienced any spillage with this new one.  As for the formula Kat has said she changed the formula to be a lot easier on the lips. Bachelorette is a new color and although it does last long I find myself applying it just once more,  maybe with Lolita I don't mind because it's close to my lip color but Bachelorette is AMAZING! My lips look dry in the picture but they don't feel that way when I have it on.  I forget it's even there. 

Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick shade BACHELORETTE 

If you have been meaning to buy a lasting lipstick in any shade, I would advise you to check out these at SEPHORA.  They are pricey ($18) BUT they are worth it! I have had Lolita for over a year and I still have more than half the tube! (it could be also because I have small lips but whatever!) I think these would be a great investment because the color payoff is great!

Bachelorette is also available in lipstick form and I was debating on buying it in that format rather than a liquid (mostly because of the packaging) but I chose the Liquid version because of the staying power I had with Lolita in the past.  When I swatched the lipstick format it was a bit more muted not as bold as this one.
feel free to check it out! This collection of Kat Von D's Studded Lipsticks have a whole range of really cool colors! I'm going to be purchasing the Lipstick in the shade "POE"! (It's a blue lipstick!)

Sephora is the only store you'll find Kat Von D products.  On the website it says they go for $19 but I bought mine at Sephora (North Ave) for $18.  I think it would be better to go try out the colors for yourself and save yourself the dollar (lol).

Must Have Brush!

STIPPLING BRUSH. All I have to say.

Okay, no I have more to say... 
Using full coverage foundation with a flat top brush or a dense brush could cause your foundation to look cacky. Applying blush for the first time could be scary but using a stippling brush allows you to have less product on your brush and always have the perfect flush look.  A lot of Finishing powder could also cause your makeup to cake up but using a stippling brush gives you the perfect finish without moving anything around. I have not had any hairs fall from this brush and I love the finish I get with it. 

This brush really has a lot of purposes
and I use it for a light foundation application, especially now that the weather feels like its getting hotter. 
The brush I have is from Eco-Tools.  I purchased it a while ago at Walgreens, I forgot how much it was but I'm pretty sure you could still find it.  Also look on Ebay and Amazon for deals!
