Hey there my fellow lipstick junkies!

I’m back again with another beauty blog. If any of you have been following me on here for awhile , you should know that I am a lover of all things lipstick, especially matte liquid lipsticks. Kat Von D has added 6 new nude shades to her Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Collection. The shades include:

• Muneca: Vibrant pinkish-apricot
• Ophelia:  Peach nude
• Ludwig: Tawny rose
• Sanctuary : Cool sepia
• Hawkwind: Warm nutmeg
• Crucifix: Hickory brown

While they are all beautiful shades, I drew an affinity to three shades in particular: Sanctuary, Hawkwind and Crucifix. I was only able to get my hands on Sanctuary and Crucifix. Here is my honest opinion on both shades.

Crucifix:  Crucifix is the perfect chocolate brown matte lipstick I had ben looking for the winter season. When lined with MAC Cosmetics  “Chestnut” lip liner, this lipstick is the perfect earth toned nude for me who is of a darker complexion! One thing I find fault with with Crucifix, is that it is SUPER drying. Like most liquid lipsticks ( as well as the other liquid lipsticks from the Kat Von D brand that I own) your lips should be exfoliated and moisturized before you apply. But even after I did that, I still found that Crucifix was extremely flaky after a short period of time. Nevertheless, its a beautiful colour.

Sanctuary: Sanctuary is described as a cool sepia toned nude. It reminds me somewhat of “Lolita” another nude from the Kat Von D line. Sanctuary leans more towards a nude with a purple undertone( on me anyway) . I love this shade! I think that this shade is probably going to be my go to colour for the remainder of the season! It’s that perfect nude with a just enough wash of colour. I think that Sanctuary would be complimentary on all skin tones. This shade is really long lasting. I wore it through an entire day. I ate, I drank and took a nap and …. my lips stayed perfectly intact. 🙂

These lipsticks retail for $24.00 Canadian online and in stores.  Im looking forward to the spring that will see this line release another batch of lipsticks, this time from the more vibrant family of colours!

If you are in the market for a diverse selection of nudes to satisfy your nude lippie needs, run on over to your local Sephora or Sephora.com and check these ones out! You won’t be disappointed !
