Kat Von D Foiled Love Lipstick in Oh My Goth | Full Review + Swatches

Hello there!

Today's review is on the Kat Von D Foiled Love Lipstick in the shade Oh My Goth which is a beautiful metallic (or foiled) purplish brown lipstick that is just great for a vampy look for the fall and winter months!

Original retail price: $20

This lipstick has such a unique shade, it is brown based with purple and pink finely milled shimmer running through it...at first, I was expecting this to be a purple lipstick, but it is actually brown with purple. This lipstick is very easy and smooth to apply, it is definitely creamy and moisturizing as well, but I find that it is dry in a way that I have to layer this on two or three times to achieve a full rich pigment that is similar to the pigment on the tube. Even after several hours of wear, I find that this does stay on very vibrantly, but after eating and drinking, you will be needing to reapply.
This lipstick could also go runny so I definitely recommend using a lip liner...I find that the perfect lip liner to go with this is NYX's 830 Currant which has that same brown based purple only without the shimmer.

Overall, I highly recommend this lipstick! It is such a unique shade that you probably don't have in your collection yet and is just perfect for the colder months!



I hope you found this quick review helpful!

Makeup Tutorial | A Copper Smokey Eye

Hello there!

Just in time for the fall season, today's tutorial is on this copper smokey eye!

Here's the final eyeshadow look.

With my lids already primed, I started by blending the shade Taupe from the Lorac Pro Palette into my crease and upwards to the browbone.

With my Real Techniques Detail Brush, I took this e.l.f. Smudge Pot in Brownie points and placed it all over the moving part of my lid and slightly winged it out. This will be the base of our eyeshadows in the next few steps.

Using the Real Techniques Base shadow Brush we used earlier, I took the shade Sable and softly blended out the Brownie Points into the Taupe from the previous steps.

With the same brush, I took this MAC eyeshadow in Embark and deepened the crease while fully blending the three previous shadows together.

Using the same brush, I lightly blended the Garnet shade from the Lorac PRO palette over the Embark and Taupe shades.

Finally, I highlighted my inner corners and browbones with the Gold shade from the Lorac PRO palette, Curled my lashes, then added some mascara. 
Here are the rest of the products I used for the rest of the look.
True Match Mineral Powder Foundation in 'Natural Beige W4-5/464', Smashbox Photo Set Pressed Powder in 'Dark' (for bronzer), Laura Geller blush n Brighten in Apricot Berry, Lorac Pro Palette, e.l.f. Eyelid Primer in Nude, Jordana Eyeliner in Black (brow pencil), MAC eyeshadow in Embark, e.l.f. HD Lifting Concealers in Light and Fair, e.l.f. Sudge Pot in Brownie Points, love&beauty liquid eyeliner in black, Benefit They're Real mascara, NYX lipliner in Currant, Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Black Cherry.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
And don't forget to share some looks you've recreated, I'd love to see your recreations! :)
