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.

[Veagn MOFO] Friday Finds - Vedge Sauce

A few months back while shopping in the bay area Matt and I went to Williams Sonoma - because we are fancy like that. Well, actually I was on the lookout for the sauces that VegNews posted about by Vedge Restaurant. After asking a few people and looking around we found them, I decided on the tamari sesame flavor and Matt plopped down $16 and we were good to go.

A sauce that costs as much as a meal was going to be saved for something special I told myself. Well, 2 weeks ago I forgot BBQ sauce for our weekly night of BBQ soy curls and as I scrambled around to find something to use I came across the sauce. I said why not and gave it a go.

Matt and I both like this sauce - I super really like it. It has a sweetness to it that is not to sweet, just a sweet kick. I taste garlic and giner along with other spices. It goes well with a bit of Sriracha or Middle Easter hot sauce thrown it to kick up the heat.I know $16 (with tax) is a lot for a sauce but I will buy it again. I am using a bit at a time so I can hold off on making it another pricy habit.
