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]

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween guys! As of right now, I have no idea what my costume will be..but let's home I can come up with a quick DIY, or I am screwed! Well, there is always this chic mark I can wear...and dress like a Venetian? I don't know! Right now I am in panic mode..so wish me luck!

My Favourite Fragrances

Today I give you some of my favorite perfumes. Up until this year I was never really been into perfumes. Only perfume I ever used was Clinique "Happy", only because I recieved a sample of it about 15 years ago. It is just a unique fragrance I fell in love it right away and I still love it. After "Happy", I tried "Happy Heart". The more floral fragrance and well that's about it...until this year! I seemed to have fallen in love with perfumes.
I dress mostly in black but I love all things feminine. The smell of flowers, pretty pink hues, I give you my favorite feminine perfumes.

First, my husband got me subtle floral fragrance from Coach (he knows me so well!), then I tried the Dior Blooming Bouquet and I simply had to have it! The color, the packaging, the essence of spring in a bottle..I couldn't resist! Being in love with Baies (candle) by Diptyque, it only makes sense that I would fall in love with L'Ombre dans l'Eau..it is the most intoxicating fragrance, yet so natural. It is as if I walked in the most beautiful gardens in Paris. Sticking to my floral obsession I love the Roses et Reines by L'Occtaine. The vintage feel of the bottle is what drove me to try it, and subtle mix of roses is as girly as you get. Last but not the least, Jo Malone Peony & Blush suede. The sweet peony smell is long lasting and I get so many compliments every time I use it! I bought a smaller size just so I could throw it in my purse and always have it with me!

Fall Favourites

With the weather changing so quickly, I love changing my makeup to deeper tones as well. Darker lips, darker eyes, deeper blush pallet. Today I want to share my favourite fall shade for lips. Burgundy and Oxblood are the two fall colours that everyone is raving about. They are deep and rich and oh so luxurious. Burgundy, the colour of my favourite wine, it suits every skin tone and every has a beautiful deep finish. These shades are so luxurious and warm, and best of all they are available in brands ranging from high end to low end cosmetics. The finish of most of these products is very similar, but staying power is a bit longer in the more expensive brands.But either way you can enjoy a lovely deep burgundy colour no matter the budget!
