Kat Von D Makeup Review

I went on a bit of a makeup spree just the other day looking for Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo concealer and stopped to try the foundation as well. I have heard many gurus rave about the concealer but while I was there the Sephora consultant had me try the foundation and I could not control myself. 

The first thing I want to say about both the foundation and concealer is that they are full coverage. If you do not like the feel of too much makeup then these products are not for you. The concealer covers imperfections very well and works well for highlighting. 

Lock-It Tattoo Concealer

CONS
♥ Feels a bit heavy underneath the eye area 
♥ Does not cover tattoos unless you put many layers making it look a bit unnatural

PROS
♥ Blends easily
♥ Long lasting

Lock-It Tattoo Foundation

This foundation claims to be heavy enough to cover tattoos, I expected it to be a thick, somewhat dry consistency. This makeup is definitely for girls that love a full on face of makeup for sure. I have noticed that it brings out your dry patches too if you have any. I love that it does not make me look oily throughout the day but does tend to look a bit cakey once your face oils appear. since I do suffer from oily skin all over.

CONS
♥ Cakey
♥ Not an everyday foundation

PROS
♥ Long wearing
♥ Matte finish
♥ Large shade range

Beauty Alert: Velvet Manicure

I saw some of the models on the runway for the Monique Lhullier Fall 2012 Show and all the models had an unusual manicure. They were wearing a velevet manicurte that caught my eye. I happen to be in Sephora one day and saw the product on the shelves from Ciate, I decided to give it a try. I must admit I was a little skeptical because it is a bit on the pricey side. Once I tried it, it was so unusual that it looked and felt like velvet. I do have to admit I am not a big fan because it almost looks like you're growing fungus on your nails. I don't if it maybe has to do with the color I chose, but I am not a big fan. I am glad I tried it but I don't see myself repurchasing it.

If you want to try this new trend I would suggest to try maybe their burgundy. I think that would look more trendy and great. I will be posting pictures so you can see the end results. Hope this review it's helpful and maybe can give you an input if you were thingking of purchasing it.
