Haul: The Makeup Show Dallas Blogger Preview Goodie Bag

This past weekend I attended The Makeup Show Dallas at the Hyatt Regency Downtown! I was blessed to be able to attend the press / blogger preview and receive a bangin’ goodie bag full of pro makeup artist James Vincent’s favorite products. If you are interested in seeing what I was gifted (+ what I purchased), keep reading!

Viseart, Kevyn Aucoin, Inglot … oh my!
I have been waiting MONTHS for The Makeup Show to come to Texas! One of the first things I looked up when I moved to Texas was the beauty conference schedule – no lie! That’s one of the benefits of this new state compared to Georgia which had very few non-industry events. I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to attend events like The Makeup Show that are so close to home.

Review: Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick ‘Ayesha’

I’ve often talked about my undying love for all things Kat Von D Beauty, but Kat really outdid herself with these new liquid lipstick colors for summer 2015!  The new additions are a permanent expansion of the line, so I was in no rush to pick up the entire collection. However, I happened upon ‘Ayesha’ in Sephora last week and knew immediately that it had to be mine! Catch more pics below!

As you can see by the swatches above, I have NOTHING like Ayesha! I think I was so drawn to it in the store because I knew I didn’t have anything like it. So often, I try to convince myself to not buy something because I might have something like it at home. But standing in front of the Kat Von D display, I couldn’t think of a single product (lipstick or otherwise) that I owned in this color.

So I had to buy it, DUH!

The product itself is consistent with other liquid lipsticks from the brand. I love the formula and the texture of the product. It doesn’t sink into lines in the lips and it stays put through an afternoon of eating and drinking (which is what I did yesterday while wearing ‘Ayesha’). The liquid lipsticks from Kat Von D are my second favorite formula (first being Lime Crime) so my greatest hope when I purchased this was that it would be consistent with the other items I have from KVD and this met my expectations.

If you know and like the Kat Von D brand, you won’t be disappointed with this purchase. If you are worried that it might be a little too pale on brown skin, it can easily be darkened with a liner. I used ‘Nightangale’ by MAC yesterday. ‘Ayesha’, along with a bunch of other new Kat Von D products, can be purchased at Sephora.

KATVONDBEAUTY.COM is now a thing!

Previously only found at Sephora, this new launch allows beauty lovers to explore the world of Kat Von D like never before. From the woman who brought us the go-to ‘Kylie Jenner’ liquid lipcolor, Lolita. And one of the best full coverage foundations on the market … and concealer … and lipstick. Pretty much everything Kat Von D puts out is gold.

I have been patiently waiting for the expansion of Kat Von D’s beauty line for months. Since her collaboration began several years ago with Sephora, I have purchased Lock-It Tattoo Concealer after Lock-It Tattoo Concealer. I go through those like butter and eggs! Until now, there has been more supporting website separate from sephora.com for the brand.

Today, Kat Von D launched a brand website called KATVONDBEAUTY.COM. While beauty lovers cannot shop directly from this website (it redirects to sephora.com for purchases), you leave the site with a far better picture of the brand beyond the stark white and black color scheme sephora.com offers.

The site is also interactive and features Instagram-user tagged pictures from some big names in beauty blogging wearing Kat Von D Beauty products. There are also some tutorials (mostly old ones) from Kat Von D herself on how she uses her own products. My favorite one is her eye tutorial using the Star Studded Palette.
