Kat Von D Lullabye Studded Kiss Lipstick
Kat Von D Lullabye Studded Kiss Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “sparkling iridescent magenta violet.” It’s a vibrant, fuchsia pink with cool-toned, magenta-fuchsia shimmer/sheen that gives it a slightly metallic sheen over a matte finish. Melt Cosmetics Shady Lady (P, $19.00) has no shimmer. Too Faced Melted Fuchsia (P, $21.00) has no shimmer, brighter. MAC Pink Poodle (DC, $16.00) is glossier. MAC Midnight Mambo (LE, $22.00) is less matte. Revlon Lollipop (P, $7.49) is sheerer, glossier, more muted. Milani Violet Volt (P, $5.49) is purpler, more shimmery. MAC Show Orchid (P, $16.00) is less matte. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Yaoi (P, $18.00) is pinker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
The consistency was very lightly creamy-just enough that it didn’t tug or drag and the color went on evenly–and yielded rich, opaque color coverage. The texture was lightweight, thin, a little clingy (but not in an uncomfortable way), and I didn’t feel the shimmer/sparkle in the shade while I wore it. The color wears and wears like iron; I managed to get eight hours of wear with a fairly noticeable stain that lingered for a few more hours (but it’s supposed to last for 10 hours). It was a little drying towards the last two hours I wore it, but it was moderately comfortable to wear overall.

This color is amazing. When I was at Sephora looking at these lipsticks, this color immediately drew my attention. I am just afraid it might be too bold for me.
It is a bold shade for sure! But worth trying on if you can 🙂
I like the colour, but I hate the frost.
Oh, that is too bad!
I like this one. I have MAC Midnight Mambo though. Love how the magenta is shot with iridescent blue violet in both.
This color/shimmer combo is always so pretty!
Based on your description that it “wears and wears like an iron” I’m kind of surprised you only gave it 8/10 on Longevity. What influences that?
Hi Gina,
Kat Von D claims 10-hour wear – this doesn’t last 10 hours, though it lasts long.
Thanks for updating the review! I was going to say, 8 hours sounds pretty darn good. I get 1-2 from Buxom and 2-3 from YSL.
Yeah, 8 is GREAT wear relatively speaking… but you know, when you claim 10 hours, well… (Just like the brands with their 12-, 16-, and 24-hour wear.) Some of the shades have lasted almost 10 hours on me, though.
LOVING this 🙂 Very unique, i’m surprised & glad it doesn’t wear gritty!
Me too! 🙂 I was relieved!
This colour suits you.
Thanks, Ammara!
Wow, the finish is so beautiful.
Glad you liked it 🙂
Sure reminds me of Show orchid a lot! so an easy skip. Such pretty shades, just wish these were a little less drying and that the shimmer was tinier too! 🙁
If you have Show Orchid, I think you are covered!
This is the first one I tried at Sephora and I fell in love! I think the frost is completely wearable and really makes this a special shade. I love it on you!
Yay! Will you get one for yourself, Jenn?
Gorgeous! This is the first Kat Von D lippie you have reviewed that I like. The color is so pretty and FINALLY not neon bright!
So glad you found one that you like, Dani!
I have Show Orchid already, I guess I’m looking for more unique shades lately.
I think you can easily skip this then!
More and more pearls and frosts seem to be coming out lately. Are they back “in”? If so maybe I’ll break out my wet n wild “fushia with blue pearl” that reminds me a bit of this shade.
You should, regardless 😉
I’m glad you pointed out that it isn’t gritty because that would be my first thought (didn’t get to swatch this colour). It looks fantastic on you!
Thanks, Kimmy!
I normally stay away from this sort of shade, but I’m wondering how it would look layered over black…
Pretty, I could see, though I don’t think the formula is *great* for blending/mixing since it is thinner and drier.
Wow, this is a real showstopper!
I loved the shimmer!
Those blue-sheen type lippies always get my attention.
Mine too!
me,too! !
It’s such a pretty color, but I’m not sure how it would look on darker skin, mine is NC42. Do you think it will be wearable?
Yes, I think so!
I love this. Not sue I love it enough to buy it because I wouldn’t use it often but I like how bold it is without being over the top!
I think the shimmer reigns i it in somehow!
This is so beautiful! I love the sheen the shimmer gives off!
Me too! 🙂
Totally made me think of a more frosty version of Urban Decay’s Jilted Revolution Lipstick 🙂
Yep!
i am in love with this colour. it reminds me off a great christmas shade
Yay!
I was hoping you’d review this one, it stood out to me immediately. It might be my favorite color out of the range. It’s special! (The dupes you included are great too!)
Do you think you’ll get one, Cat?
so pretty!
I have Wonderchilde and love the color but don’t seem to notice really extended wear time. I still love it, tho!
How long does Wonderchilde wear for ya?
This is one of the shades I bought, and I absolutely love it. It looks fantastic on you.
So glad you love yours, Rachel!
Wow, Christine, it looks beautiful on you! Great color!
Thanks a lot, Kathy 🙂
Do these have any scent/taste, like a MAC vanilla or something of the like? I LOVE the colors in this line but am picky about scent!
Creme brulee!
L-O-V-E!!!
Yay!!
This is a color I love but really don’t look good wearing,lol
Yet I own three of the dupes!
Awwww!
I have this shade. There has to be variation in batches I guess, because unfortunately this only lasts on me for about 2 hours before it starts disappearing. Works better with primer, but definitely doesn’t last anywhere near as long on me as it does on you even with primer! And if I try to eat anything, even just a little non-messy snack with it on and it’s totally gone. 🙁
It’s a gorgeous shade though, and I didn’t find it gritty either. Easy to apply too.
On another note– You look lovely in it, Christine!
2 hours? WOW! I can’t even imagine how this could not last at least a few hours… it just doesn’t have that kind of texture where it should slip off!
I have no idea! 🙁 It’s frustrating to me, because I really love the color and I like the scent too. I don’t have this problem with MAC lipsticks, other than some of the lustres. They still stay on as long as I don’t eat anything. I’m thinking I had to have gotten a bum one, or maybe it’s something about this formula that just doesn’t jive with my lips.
This is just amazing, I love it. I do have Pink Poodle, though so I think I’ll save my money on this one.
You’re covered ;D
This colour is so pretty, and I love the sparkles (of course, LOL!) I do still find myself wanting Violet Volt more though – I really wish Milani was available here!! I wonder how it compares to Revlon Whimsical (in colour and sparkle, not opacity/wear time)… *goes to look at dupes*
Do you have any really great, drugstore/mass kind of brands in your parts, Sylirael?
