Kat Von D lipstick review

I recently purchased the Kat Von D lipstick set from Sephora. I got something similar last year, but colours were so much more vibrant in this collection so I caved and treated myself! Not only that, I have convinced two of my cousins, and a few co-workers to buy it too! I love the new matte formula, and the colours are very long lasting. Did I mention the lipsticks smell like creme brulee!
I find it difficult to explain the exact  colour of lipsticks, especially how it will look on the lips, so I did what I do best, colour match with Pantone! It shows the true shade of the lipstick without having to try it on. And yes, one of them is Purple.
I am very happy with the staying power and over all creamy and matte texture. A great gift for anyone, especially those who are afraid to try colours. It is a great value and get rainbow of shades that will last a while!

(See below for the colour details)
 

I chose the 7 shades that are different and more wearable

Countess (matte hot orange red), Agatha (matte pale peach nude), Sexer (iridescent fluorescent pink), Bachelorette (matte reddish fuchsia),  Hexagram (matte blood red), Wonderchilde (iridescent neon lilac) [I left out 1 metallic red, and 1 nude]

My Laduree Obsession

If you ask anyone that knows me, they know that I am kind of addicted to Macarons! Well who isn't really! Since I first discovered them through blogs in 2008, and tried the original Laduree Macaron in 2009 in Paris..my life has never been the same! I have tried macarons all over the place, but nothing compares to the original Laduree. Everything I have a friend visit Paris (which thankfully happens often enough) I ask them to bring me back macarons, of course. So when my husband's friend went to Paris last month and brought me back some Macarons..but never did I expect such a big box! He got me 2 dozen macarons! I had almost forgotten how amazing Laduree's macarons really were, almost like little piece of heaven with in every bite!

This is probably the longest intro I have ever written for a blogpost..but it is only because I LOVE these colourful little cake/cookies ;) Something this beautiful must of course be photographed first, and that was probably the hardest thing I had to do...WAIT! So I gave myself half an hour to do what I gotta do and then sit back and enjoy..I can't share with you the amazing taste but I hope this pictures give you an idea..because they taste even better than they look!
