Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

Lately I've been on a liquid lipstick kick. I love the convenience of a super long wearing matte lipstick. I don't understand why all lipsticks aren't transfer proof?! It's genius! The staying power is great. The only downside is that they can be very drying on the lips as can be the case with many matte lipsticks. It's important to make sure to put some lip balm on and let it sit before you apply the liquid lipstick. I like to do the agave lip mask the night before. It helps to keep my lips from looking ugly and flaky!

I'm wearing underage red in the picture. Isn't it gorge?!

LORAC Pro Matte Lip in Pink Taupe

So I'm sure by now everyone has come across the GORGEOUS picture of Kylie Jenner with that amazing matte mauve pout.. and if you haven't WTF go google it ASAP. I've been on a quest to find something similar and during my quest, I encountered a product I have not heard anyone really RAVE about.

I purchased a Lorac Pro Matte Lip in the color Pink Taupe since when I swatched it in the store it seemed similar (it's lighter than the Kylie lip look) and PLUS I had a 20% off coupon for Ulta that I had to make use out of. The product I believe was $16 without the discount and let me tell you it is worth every penny! The problem I usually have with matte lipsticks or matte lip products in general is how drying they are on my lips. My lips take a lot of maintenance (lip scrubs, etc) and a drying lip product is not the way to go. Don't get me wrong I love my MAC Ruby Woo, but my lips literally feel like they are gonna crack off and be in a pile of dust at my feet.  Anyways, I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this product felt on my lips and was so pleasantly surprised at how good it felt to wear.
The product was super creamy and felt hydrating. The rounded shape of the product makes it super easy to use as a liner as well.

I will definitely be heading back to Ulta to purchase another. specifically the Mauve color I was eyeing! Definitely check out this product ladies.
