Kat Von D: Spring 2011

I've been doing a lot of collection posts lately, because I haven't had the sunlight or the time for anything else. I promise I am trying to change that and will have a large haul, two valentines nail art looks, and a few other fun things. Let me know what you wanna see first. Or request something else!

I love Kat Von D's makeup, I think its really great quality and I seem to be getting almost everything in her line. As of right now I have every palette but two, the permanent one and a new one from the spring collection! This line is exclusive to sephora as far as I know.

As you probley all have seen, there was some new romance pigment that came out a little while ago. If you haven't seen it, then here's a look.

True Romance Pigments
What it is:
A longwearing eyeshadow pigment that provides intense color payoff.

What it does:
Nothing gets an eye bolder than the pure color in Kat's True Romance loose powder eyeshadows. Made with smart ingredients and concentrated pigments, each shade blends easily to create pure color lids. With Kat's sifter dispenser, the perfect application amount pours each time, helping you avoid the mess of some loose eyeshadows.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Phthalates
- GMOs

Colors:

Johnette (royal blue shimmer)
Ladyhawke (reddish plum shimmer)
Meditation (copper rose shimmer)
Rapture (golden peach shimmer)
Starcrossed (golden beige shimmer)
Torment (iridescent medium purple shimmer)

These have not yet been put in stock on sephora.com, so these are quite new. They are $16 USD each.

Lock 'N Load Makeup Setting Mist
What it is:
A mist that sets makeup to extend its wear.

What it does:
Lock n' Load is a weightless mist that locks down your look for up to 16 hours, so makeup stays rockin' all day and night long. Its Temperature Control Technology prevents makeup from melting down when it's warm and avoids dehydration and cracking when it's cold. Ideal for all skin types, it won't leave your skin feeling sticky or tight. It also works to prevent blush, eyeshadow and lip color from fading, sliding, caking, or becoming excessively shiny.

This comes in a 3.4 oz size and is in stock on sephora.com! It is $24 USD.

True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Truth
What it is:
A palette of richly pigmented eyeshadows, for extended wear.

What it does:
A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery. Create your own or try a rocker chick look with this True Romance Eyeshadow Palette. Designed especially for Sephora by tattoo artist and reality television star Kat Von D, this artistic spectrum of shades brings a sense of edgy-glam to your look.

This True Romance palette includes eight shades:
- Sugar Skull (vanilla)
- Long Distance (citron)
- Snake Eyes (lime)
- Finland (aqua, cream formula)
- Prague (plum)
- Galeano (pale lilac)
- Rehab (golden tan)
- Sister (peach)

What else you need to know:
The illustration on the cover of this palette features a stylized pattern made up of vintage keys. "The keys are displayed above my desk. I collect them because I love what they signify: romantic, classic, Victorian, antique, access to an old castle, fairy tales, or a secret compartment. Locks and keys fit together and symbolize love. A key feels like a special way to unlock what's otherwise forbidden….in the case of my palette it's about unlocking the soul and redefining beauty." —Kat Von D, tattoo artist and reality television star.

** Two colors have been in other palettes: Sugar skull (in memento mori ) and Galeano (In Beethoven). This is $34 USD and is out of stock on sephora.com

I know some people hate hauls because they feel its bragging, I personally love them because you have a chance to ask for reviews and things using these products. How else are you to know what a person has and what they dont. For those of you who dont celebrate Christmas, I wish you whatever you do celebrate. New years is coming, who is exited? The family got a new camera but Im still trying to get it perfect picture taken mode. The last few photos were taking with the new camera, looks better or not?

Sephora Haul

Tattoo Chronicles Palette - Volume 1 ($180 Value)
What it is:
A set of Kat Von D products that lets you express your defining individuality.

What it does:
Kat's secret weapons for pulling off a long-lasting, rockin' look come together in a beauty stash that includes false lashes, eyeshadows, and primers. Plus, a secret compartment reveals a hidden double-ended rollerball fragrance that embodies Kat's two sides: saint and sinner.

This set contains:
- 1 pair False Eyelashes
- 12 x 0.02 oz Eyeshadows in Tijuana, Taxidermy, Hollywood, Peanut, Redemption, Solitude, Heartkiller, Baudelaire, Monastary, Poe Blue, Nite Owl, Lemmy
- 3 x 0.01 oz High Voltage Primers in Skin, Stellar, Smoky
- 2 x 0.17 oz Double-Ended Saint/Sinner Rollerball

What else you need to know:
"This is dedicated to those who are self-created, self-reliant, self made, and independent." —Kat Von D

All of the above taken from sephora's site. This palette is limited adition and came out with the adora collection. It was about $72 cnd dollars, but I personally think it is worth it. All the eyeshadows are pigmented and the primers dont crease. The perfume is really nice, but I havent tried the lashes yet. Please let me know if you want a full review on this product.

The lashes do not come with glue, please keep that in mind.

It's a pretty book, and when you open it, there are a few pages written and drawn by kat von d. Then once you get over those pages, you come to a magnetic page where you open it to reveal:

Some closer looks and swatchs of the products:

Saint and Sinner Rollerball, saint is sweet and sinner is very spicy.

The lashes, and the three primers, skin, steller, and smokey.





There we are, poe blue is a littler bluer in real life then in the swatch.

Let me know if you want a review, or request of something else. It helps my blog keep going. TotallyPolishedBeauty@yahoo.com
