More Kat Von D Lip Colors
Susperia (liquid lipstick) on my lips. I wanted something fun to balance and not compete with my brows. It is a nice muted medium purple shade.
I had to go get Homegirl lipstick. The color is a nice dark burgundy. It reminds me of my junior high go to WnW with black eyeliner as lip liner days. However like with the other dark colors in this line it gets blotchy after a few hours and wear away clumpy. Also it applies patchy - darker in some spots. I seen this happen in swatches - I thought it was bad lighting - nope.
I got a mini Lovecraft with my beauty points. It is a nice nude and wears better than the darker shades in the line.
I am not really great with the selfies-thing but want to share some makeup looks and I hope you dig them. If your bank account only allows one lip color product I would go for a shade in the liquid lipstick range. They wear better and do not fade into a clumpy mess. I plan on getting a few more colors in the liquid lipstick range when I get a chance until then I have plenty of colors to play with!

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Review
I am in love with Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. I have two colors and want to get more.
I bought L.U.V. first - because it stood out being dubbed a 'rich violet' color. Right now I am all about the purples!
I really liked L.U.V. so when I had a Sephora return a few days later I bought Ayesha because I have been wanting a lavender color that stood out (most have been pale).
After trying KVD's lipsticks and finding them a bit drying I was hesitant to try the Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. I am glad I did because they work out (for me) better than the lipsticks. The wand applicator makes them easy to apply. The formula is wet letting you apply it smoothly and dries to a matte finish. You have about a minute window before the color sets into place. The colors stay on a long time and the slim lip gloss container is super portable. Bonus they do not have a funky taste or smell - important for me!
I have a few more colors on my wish list that I will pick up as soon as my wallet allows me to. A tip is to order them directly from Sephora - all the Sephora locations I have been to have super picked over displays.

My Top 5 Vegan - Cruelty Free Beauty Products (Of The Moment)
These are the top 5 products that are getting much love in my beauty arsenal right now. These are all products I plan on buying again once I run out! They are that good!
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara - When I saw this pop up in the Sephora webpage I ran out and bought it. I have been searching for a great mascara since the whole China thing came onto the scene. This mascara delivers a nice black inky color and impact. The only problem is it is a bit messy - or at least the excess always ends up on the tube...but it really is not a huge problem. I just need to wipe the tube and pull the wand out carefully.
Cosmic Bath and Beauty Blush in Sweet Cheeks: Perfect color that gives me the perfect pink cheek look. It blends well, not to shimmery (as in obnoxious teen cosmetic glittery) but enough to get me glowing. The color gives my cheeks a nice healthy summer glow that will come in handy in the winter months - which I am already dreading!
Fergie for Wet N Wild Eye Shadow Primer: This stuff is freaking amazing! I was skeptical at first - because most primers just do the minimal for my oily lids and I still have smudges and color transfer. This stuff makes me a eyeshadow primer lover! Once applied - the texture is nice, I can feel a velvety smoothness compared to other more watery primers of the past. The primer really gets everything to stick in place, no more creasing and my black liner stays crisp and clean all day long! Get this product now!
Gnarly Whale Beach Waves Spray in Thai Coconut:Simple ingredients that make dirty no wash hair days into big wavy delight hair days!
Out of Africa Lip Balm in Strawberry: I just got this lip balm in. I was picking Mar up some kitty shampoo and came across this product and had to try it - after all everyone needs a handful of lip balms in their bag right?It is a large tube - perfect for slathering on your lips. The flavor is not sickly sweet or artificial - which is not always a bad thing but I know some people dig on a more natural flavor. So if you like your balms more natural - this is for you. It is very moisturizing and goes on super smooth.
Do you have any favorite products right now? Let me know - I am always looking to try new things!

Korres Japanese Rose Body Butter Review
Last weekend I picked up a sample of Japanese Rose body by Korres and at first did not think I would dig it due to the floral name. After smelling it though I love it! The smell is floral but not really floral like potpourri. To me it has an almost medicinal smell, like kids cherry cough medicine - I know odd right? But it is interesting.
The texture is light and absorbs fast. Usually in the past body butters have left me feeling greasy and slick. This is a great light lotions and I like using it on my hands and then sniffing them over and over!
Free of parabens, sulfates and GMOs this is a good for you product! I want to go back and smell the fig scent. That sounds interesting right? I like discovering new/new to me vegan beauty products and finding a winner!

[Vegan MOFO Day 19] Good Enough To Eat: Fresh Perfumes
I like perfume...I like it to be clean and personal. When I say personal I mean I want to smell the scent on myself and if someone hugs me to smell it. I do not want to walk in a room and leave a trail of scent behind. I really hate when someone wears so much perfume it smells up the whole room and makes you feel ill. Also why do people feel the need to wear perfume to the gym?!?
I have tried a few of Fresh's fragrances, which are all vegan. I am currently wearing Cannabis Santal - which states it is a male fragrance but I find it unisex. I usually like fruity/foody scents but this is warm and sweet. It has notes of plum, chocolate and a woody note to it...Perfect for fall!
Fresh has scents ranging from fruity to musky...Sephora carries the line and you can spend the day just smelling all the scents! What fragrance are you wearing right now?
