This is a Holy Grail product for me. It's been my favorite go-to eyeshadow for nearly a year. It's by far the most versatile one I own. I use it by itself as an all over eyeshadow, a highlight color under my brows, and a face highlighter. It's super long wearing, even in hot and humid weather, with or without primer. There can sometimes be a little fall out but it's a tiny amount. All over wonderful product and I've stocked up in case KVD ever discontinues it.

This is the first green lipstick I've ever bought. Other shades scared me; this one was calling my name! Pictures don't do Kale justice but Christine's close up with flash is close. It's almost a pearlized finish. It even makes my teeth look whiter, which I thought was impossible with a green lipstick. It's VERY pigmented but came off easily with my makeup remover. Bonus: it's hydrating on my lips and stayed put, even when I accidentally smudged it when I changed shirts. Kale is a totally wearable shade and I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot this summer. This formula is my new favorite.

Intense color payoff and it hydrates my lips! Doesn't feather on me. I was able to wear it to do my farm chores; two hours and a lot of "glistening" later and the lipstick was still perfectly in place. I'm so impressed, it's taking all my self control not to buy more shades! I'll be wearing this and Kale a lot this summer and fall/winter.

This one is a Holy Grail for me. I'm porcelain skinned, cool toned, have blonde hair and blue eyes. Most of these shades are super buttery (Pop being the exception), and they all work harmoniously with each other. I've been able to make tons of unique looks with this palette, some for day and other more dramatic looks for night. This is my go-to palette, especially when I opt for a bold lip. I love it so much I have a backup and I'm considering getting a second backup! I don't know what I'd do without Punk in my life!!

This is the shade that turned me into a lipstick addict. I tried lipstick as a teen for prom and wore it on my wedding day, but other than that, I never saw the point. Fast forward 12 years and enter Kat Von D's Studded Kiss in Wolvesmouth. On me, this lipstick goes on smooth and evenly. It's va-va-voom without making me look overdone; I've worn it during the day but it also looks great at night. (For reference, I'm a fair skinned blue eyes blonde with cool, pink undertones.) I've gotten compliments from friends, family, and even strangers wearing this shade! It wears really well, even after coffee from a travel mug, many hours, and a meal. No touch up required! I love it so much, I actually bought two more backup tubes just in case it's reformulated or discontinued.
