Kat Von D Everlasting Mini Liquid Lipstick Set {+ Swatches}

It still isn't too late for that last minute Christmas shopping! Shopping for a girl who is into makeup is probably the easiest thing you've had to do all December. There are so many options that it can (hopefully) be hard to go wrong. For the holidays, Kat Von D has brought out a 'try them all' set of minis of her highly coveted Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. The set includes 8 3ml/0.10 fl oz. minis in various shades.

 L to R: KVD Everlasting Liquid Lipstick - Lovesick, Mother, Santa Sangre, Backstage Bambi, L.U.V., Echo, Roxy, Plath

The last two, Roxy and Plath, are new shades added to the Kat Von D collection.

The liquid lipstick shades in this set are so different! Also, my apologies for not being able to properly follow the lines of my lips, btw! If you are looking for neutrals this is not the place to find it. The most neutral shades are the first two, Lovesick (a mauve nude) and Mother (a dusty mauve pink), and Mother is even a little too pinky for my liking. My favourite shades have to be Lovesick, and Plath (deep russet red/brown). Echo (satin navy blue) had to be the hardest and most uneven to apply because it is such a strong colour.

In terms of the formula, the Everlasting Liquid Lipstick is one of my favourite liquid lipsticks because of the high range of colours and the way they feel on the lips. They are light, not super drying (but still drying on my lips), and are true matte liquid lipsticks. For more vibrant shades, they do need at least 2 layers, but the staying power is great and there is little to no transfer.

The set retails for $62 CAD, and if you're lucky you can still pick one up at a Sephora location or on Kat Von D's website!

Make Up For Ever Andreja Pejic Artist Shadow Palette

Be Bold. Be Unexpected. Be You.

This gorgeous limited edition eyeshadow palette is one of two to kick off the "Be Bold. Be Unexpected. Be You" campaign in collaboration with actress/fashion blogger Jamie Chung, transgender fashion model Andreja Pejic, and makeup artist Melanie Inglessis. The campaign aims to promote individuality and self-expression. 

The palette I have here includes 4 colours carefully chosen out of 200 by Andreja Pejic. I am simply in love with the neutral mauve-brown shades chosen because they are easy to wear on a daily basis and super easy to blend.

The box has a fun look to it and features 4 creative looks created by Melanie Inglessis on model Andreja Pejic. The actual casing of the palette is a little tin box that snaps closed. It is quite simple, a little boring, but it is magnetic and the shadows are interchangeable.

The 4 shadows included in the Andreja Pejic Palette are I-526, I-662, I-544, D-652. The shadows themselves are not limited edition but being able to buy them in a quad palette for $56 ($111 value). Make Up For Ever doesn't name their shadows on the packaging (hate this) but they do on their website. So I did a little research and included the shadow names below as well.

L to R, Top to Bottom: I-526 (Pearl Beige), I-662 (Amber Brown), I-544 (Pink Granite), D-652 (Celestial Earth)

I  = Iridescent Finish
D = Diamond Finish

I've tried Make Up For Ever's Matte Shadows before but I find these 2 finishes a lot easier to blend. They are as smooth as butter and of course the pigmentation doesn't disappoint. They work together so well and I've included 2 looks below using the shadows.

Discover the campaign hashtag #BeMakeUpForEver and express what a bold and unexpected look means to you. (Tip: Check out @JamieJChung Instagram to enter to win a custom palette + $500 worth of MUFE products). Unfortunately, I believe the Andreja Pejic Palette just recently sold out online, but it hopefully can be found in stores. The Andreja and Jamie Chung palettes are limited stock and retailing for $56 CAD in Sephora stores and online.
