You said it: Kat Von D products from Debenham's

Hey guys!

Welcome back, to think we are nearly at the end of 2016 already. Its been a hectic and stressful year this year, I'm just looking forward to spending Christmas with the family and friend's and let 2017 be the year for greatness to come. But enough of my boring story look what I have been saving since September for you guys, yes you said it Kat Von D's makeup products.

 I mentioned previously you can now buy Kat Von D products in the UK in Debenham's and you can even go in store and see it for yourselves. I have been patiently waiting to buy these products and the moment I got hands on these my face lit up with so much joy. I ordered these online as soon as it launched. I am open to let you guys know my thoughts on each individual product shown here. Links will be down below, so grab a cup of tea or a packet of biscuits and enjoy guys.


First two shades are liquid lipsticks and the Last two are the lipsticks. Click here

Lolita and Susperia : The 'Everlasting' liquid lipsticks (6.6ml) are surprisingly pigmented, opaque and glides on perfectly. My only criticism on them are firstly I find the wand a little to long and both Lolita and Susperia go on a little patchy once dried. You won't be able to tell in the photos as I layered them on without it getting clumpy. I also noticed when I had Lolita on if you get water or any liquid on it it will fade away in the middle of your lip which is not flattering at all especially after eating. I'm not sure if I am the only one who noticed that, but for a lip product to be £16 I was expecting to be blown away with these products. I was just a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong they're beautiful colours and maybe I should use a lipliner underneath next time because on their own they do not last long enough.

I haven't tried any of the other colours but these ones were just okay. If you have let me know your experience with them...

Seeing the 'studded lipstick' (3ml) packaging for the first time actually blew my mind. I love how Kat Von D made it look as if spikes are coming out from all different angles and she put her signature style by engraving her name on top of the lid.
I chose to get the shade Lolita as a lipstick and liquid lipstick because I liked how they both differ in each shades. Lolita the liquid lipstick looks more like a chestnut rose whereas Lolita lipstick is a terracotta pinky shade (kind of similar to Nyx liquid lipstick in exotic click here). Also on the actual lipstick Kat Von D's initials are engraved on it.   I love the formula for Lolita, it's so smooth and super pigmented which is why one coat of the lipstick is enough for your lips. I found out it is infused with antioxidants with vitamins A,C and E, no wonder my lips never feel dry when I wear this out.

As for the lipstick LUV I was sent a replacement as the first one sent to me was broken. I was able to email customer services straight away and it was sent to me the next day. Debenham's were super sufficient and quick when emailing back to me. Luckily I was able to keep it so I used it for the lip swatch, I personally think purple's are very hard to make because you could see the colour of my lip a little, not to sure if it's because the product is faulty (I probably will see how the new one is on my lips next time). I found it to be a pretty colour and a creamy texture however, it is a little patchy on the lips. The swatch on my hand I had to swipe it a couple of times so the colour looked a lot better for the pictures. The longevity for this particular shade lasted for a couple of hours so it does have staying power.

What you all been dying to know, whether this cult favourite 'Tattoo liner' (0.55ml) in Trooper is worth the money? And yes it is, when I used this for the first time my goodness I was truly amazed how fine the pen is . I think for a £16 liquid liner it as succumb my expectations so much, to point where I will be repurchasing another one again. The liner has perfect precision with it's superfine tip, making the best point or cat eye for any particular look and is by far great for any beginner or experts in makeup. If your looking for a liner that doesn't run out when your doing your eyeliner then this is definitely the one you need. My only criticism is that by the end of the day it can fade a little, so I usually will use this first or after sometimes with a gel liner to make sure the eye look lasts for the whole day. Other than that I'm so glad I have this in my makeup collection.

Not only is this highly pigmented liner good for just eye looks, but you can also create shapes on your face like I did for the my get ready with me Halloween look I did a month ago.



Here are the ingredients list: 1.) Lolita and LUV lipsticks 2.) Lolita and Susperia liquid lipsticks 3.) Tropper Liner

Fall time: Simple fall makeup look



I have created a simple fall makeup look for this Autumn/Winter. My aim was to make sure it was simple enough to wear out for an event or even around the Christmas period. So I hope you guys enjoy as much as I did.

Makeup products used (in order): My favourite primer The Body Shop Matte it Skin Primer

Eyes: Collection Concealer Dark 4 to use as a eye primer.

Next use the shade buttery from the Self-made palette Anastasia Beverly Hills, then for the transition colour I went for Hot chocolate. Blend really well into the crease so it does not look harsh on the eyes. Use a fluffy brush to create a halo effect on the lid.

Tips: If you do not have the same products use whatever eyeshadows you have with you.

For the rest of the eye I topped it off with the rose gold shade from Morphe 350s palette (on the left), then added the darker burnt orange shimmer to finish the eye look (on the right).


In the water line I used Mac's eyeliner in the shade photogravure (gift from friend) it's a deep brown shade. Liquid liner I used Kat Von D's trooper liner.

Lashes/glue: Superdrug's natural lashes 201 with eylure lashfix glue

 Foundation : Ex1 foundation F500 mixed with Autograph's compact foundation in Buff.

Concealer/highlight: Collection perfection Concealer Dark 4 and Becca shimmering prefector liquid champagne pop

Contour: my trustee sleek contour kit in Medium

Highlighter: Jeffree Star highlighter in peach goddess/ Becca skin perfector champagne pop

Lips: Coloured raine Mary (click here for previous post)





Brushes used: Morphe M439 Zoeva Fan Brush

For eyes: Elf small contour brush
Elf eyeshadow C brush
Real techniques duo fibre eye blending brush
EyeShadow duo brush from self made palette ABH (these brushes come with modern renaissance and make up by mario palette)
Luxie large shader brush (just bought this and it's amazing it helps pack on the shadow on to the lids)


 Stay tuned for the Kat Von D blogpost coming soon.
