Kat Von D 'Studded Kiss' Lipstick!

Good evening everyone!

I did a very, very naughty thing today and splurged a little on myself! I went to my local Sephora and purchased 3 of the brand spanking new Studded Kiss lipsticks from Kat Von D. I can't tell you how hard it was narrowing it down to just three. I wanted THEM ALL! ;)

*Be sure to click images for maximum awesome! 

I purchased:

Wolvesmouth: metallic berry
Lullabye: sparkling iridescent magenta violet |
Wonderchilde: iridescent neon lilac



Even the packaging is to die for!






Look at the impression on the lipstick itself. Fancy, fancy!


Aren't they glorious?! *swoon*




Swatches!

On the lips!

I am absolutely in love with Wonderchilde. It was the very first lipstick from this collection that called to me. It's glowy and sparkly with just the right amount of purple/pink duochrome. The red undertone in this lipstick is amazing! Lullabye and Wolvesmouth are equally gorgeous. Each one has a bit of shimmer to it and each seem to glow from the inside out. These are definitely *me* colors but I do think I'd like to order a few more of the darker shades at some point.

The staying power is excellent. I applied Wolvesmouth and it stuck around for a good 6 hours even after eating and drinking. I'm pretty convinced the other two will do the same.

One hint. These lipsticks are a little drying on the lips, so I'd apply a lip balm underneath (beforehand) just to prevent dry lips.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these! The price tag is a little steep. I think MAC lipstick at $15.00 a piece are expensive, so I won't be buying these consistently. I'm happy with my little splurge though and can't wait to play more with my new lipstick! 

Do you see any shades from this collection that you just have to have?

Purple and Pink, LOTD!

Zombies!

I asked people on my Facebook fan page to pick my eyeshadow colors a few days ago. My niece Eli requested pink and purple and so I went with it. I wasn't planning on blogging this look, but it's too pretty not to share. Sadly, I didn't take any photos of it with my camera, so the pictures are all from my iPhone. You still get the point!











The Goods:
TFSI as primer
Tick:Tock Cosmetics eyeshadow base in "Milky Way"
Fyrinnae "When I Grow Up" main lid and inner lower lash line
Tick:Tock Cosmetics "Midlife Crisis" blended into and above crease and outer lower lash line

Fyrinnae "Moon Child" as brow bone highlight and tear duct area
Random liner and mascara

Cheeks:

I adore this look so hard! If I do say so myself!

 

Seeing Red! Lippie Galore!

Good evening Zombies!

Is anyone else disappointed that October is over? For me this is the month of hot air balloons, changing leaves, fresh crisp air, my birthday and Halloween. After October it's all a blur. Thanksgiving, Christamas, New Years, OH MY! I really wish life would slow down just a touch. It's going too fast and I'm getting too old.

I received a Sephora gift card for my birthday and besides Nars "Orgasm" blush (I couldn't help myself!) I was lusting over a matte red lippie. I scoured Sephora but refused to pay the outragoeus prices for a lipstick, knowing that Revlon had some great matte red lipsticks. So, I picked up a red liner and a Kat Von D lipgloss that was on sale for $9.00! I then went to my local drugstore and purchased Revlon matte lipstick in "Really Red". Holy hot shit Batman, this lipstick is HAWT.

*Deal of the Week: !Eyeliner Extravaganza! and Zombies*

Hello again!

This weekend was one of eyeliner for me. I set out on a mission to find a good purple liner for my lower lashes and/or water line when I didn't want to bother with a brush. I did find a couple cool purples, but I also found 3 kick ass black liners.....*Drum Roll*

I get can't get over Maybelline's new EyeStudio. I am IN LOVE. I've been all over Albuquerque trying to find it in black, but it's completely sold out. To my surprise they did have Charcoal at my local drugstore today. Charcoal is not quite black, but has a sheen of sparkle. It's perfect for those (like me) who like just a little sparkle in EVERYTHING.  I swatched it this afternoon at 2:00 PM. By 7:00 PM it hadn't budged. I was even trying at it and took a shower. This stuff is awesome. It does come with a mini eyeliner brush, but to me it's a little too thick. I'll stick with my own liner brush. Oh and it was on sale for $6.48!

I went to Sephora last night with the intention of spending $10.00. HA yeah right you're thinking? You're right. LMAO  I can't afford high end liners just yet at the moment. ( I was drooling over the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Lust. It was SO hard for me to pass it up.) I located the Sephora brand liners. $8.00 a pop was better than $17.00. I picked up Electro black (black with glitter) and a Flashy Liner which is waterproof in Flashy Mauve. I love the black one- how can you screw but black with glitter?!  I'm not sure about Flashy Mauve. For one, it's NOT Mauve it's Lavender it's also very creamy and crumbles easily when being applied. The sharp end broke off the minute I swatched it for the first time. And it's SUPER light on my skin. Of course the light of Sephora made it pop and I couldn't put it down. I'll have to see what I can do with it. (I was NOT impressed with the "beauty expert" at Sephora....but that's another story. Shitty customer service is one of my biggest pet peeves ever.period.handsdown.)

And last but not least..I found my perfect purple without even trying. I was checking out the Maybelline liner and walked passed a NYC display. I don't normally look at NYC, just cause I prefer Rimmel. But there it was, shining like a beacon in a stormy sea....A beautiful purple liner called Through the Storm (told ya) with a blue sheen. It's even more pretty when swatched. It's a NYC Liner Duet, so there is matte black on the second side. Oh yeah..AND, it was only $1.86. SCORE! I'll be purchasing a few more of these. There was a really neat blue one too.

The name of this blog is "Makeup Zombie" because of my love for the two things. And I realized I haven't posted one thing about a Zombie- other than the cutesy zippered pouches last Saturday. So without further ado..here are some Zombie Chicks that I think are pretty kick ass!

They all make me happy.
