Charlotte Tilbury Nocturnal Cat Eyes to Hypnotise shadow and liner duos

I purchased these new Charlotte Tilbury sets from Beautylish during their $20 gift card for every $100 purchase event. I didn't pick up one more set since there are four in total because I thought it would be something similar to what I've owned. You can also purchase these from CT's direct website, as well as net-a-porter which is even better because you get cashback through Ebates. These are $39 each.








Give the gift of truly mesmerising eyes with my NOCTURNAL CAT EYES TO HYPNOTISE Trinket duo. I’ve paired my NOCTURNAL CAT EYESHADOW with a mini ROCK ‘N’ KOHL eye pencil in specially-selected colour combinations, to help you create a classic smokey cat eye with perfect ease.
The NOCTURNAL CAT EYESHADOW was inspired by the hypnotic gaze of wild cats in the night and the way cat eyes emit light outwards. The concentrated colour is designed to add a sultry, feline look to your lids, giving eyes depth and dimension for a 3D effect, while luminosity-boosting agents help diffuse light and add radiance, and blackout pigment gives a metallic effect that’s perfect for the party season.
For added allure, define your eyes with my award-winning ROCK ‘N’ KOHL eye pencil. With the smooth application of a liquid liner but the sooty, pigment-rich result of a kohl, it glides on easily and gives a long-lasting finish, so you can rock all night without losing your kohl.
NOCTURNAL CAT EYES TO HYPNOTISE contains:
  • NOCTURNAL CAT EYESHADOW in Midnight Seduction – a sparkling midnight-blue hue that compliments brown eyes
  • Mini ROCK ‘N’ KOHL in Sapphire Sex – a shimmering azure shade.

    Although the shadows and liners are all packed with shimmers, metallic finishes, and micro-glitters, you definitely need a primer for the shadows. The liners are very creamy, smooth, and blendable if you work fast enough, but it sets and stays put after maybe few seconds. I would suggest to use the liners first as a base to smudge it out, and then top it off with the shadows to avoid heavy creasing.

    Kat Von D everlasting liquid lipstick in Witches

    I recently purchased another shade from the Kat Von D's everlasting liquid lipstick line for Hallween purpose from Sephora. This is Witches, and it's a pitch black liquid to matte liquid lipstick. It retails for $20, and it's not as opaque as I would like it to be. It can be built up to a pitch black opaque finish, but normally I don't have to do that with any of her other liquid lipsticks. I was hoping for one swipe full pigmentation opaque color payoff, but this is quite thin formulated liquid lipstick compare to something like Stila. I had to return it, and I might try either LA Splash or Makeupmonsters' black liquid lipsticks instead. I do like KVD's liquid lipsticks though, but just not so much for this particular one.



    What it is:
    A long-wear, full-coverage liquid lipstick with a smooth, matte finish. 

    What it does:
    Now with 16 additional, bold shades of Everlasting Liquid Lipstick for all-night wear, this innovative formula gives lips long-lasting wear and high-pigment color. Its creamy, color-rich formula glides over lips like a gloss but dries to a true matte finish. It’s infused with natural comfort-enhancing ingredients, including vitamin E and sunflower seed so you can flaunt lasting matte color that leaves lips feeling comfortable. 

    What it is formulated WITHOUT: 
    - Parabens 

    What else you need to know:
    You know what they say about Lolita. On some, she’s the perfect rosy nude. On others, she’s a deep, dramatic mauve. Some of you noticed that your new Lolita looked more brown than usual as a result of a manufacturer error. Since then, the shade has been corrected, so from now on, all Lolitas purchased will be the perfect dusty rose we all know and love. Want to see a different side of Lolita? Look for her rosier alter ego, Lolita II, coming soon. 

    BeautyTip:
    Cleanse, brighten, and hydrate lips before lipstick application with Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth™ Cleansing Cloths: Brightening.






    Kay Von D studded kiss lipstick in Chula

    I picked up KVD's newer shade, Chula, from her studded kiss lipstick line at Sephora. This retails for $21, and it's a matte lipstick. It's not one of those comfortable type of matte lipsticks, which I already reviewed in my other KVD mi vida loca lipstick holiday set post. I personally think these dryer kind last longer on my lips. I got this shade because it's a really nice warm clay type of color that's great for the Fall. I've been loving Dunkin Donuts' pumpkin macchiato, so maybe this shade reminded me of that? Who knows, but I love it. It does tug on the skin when applying, and it has a cookie and cream type of scent which I'm not so fond of, but it's not to the point that I'm choking on the scent while wearing it. All I know is that I'm loving these type of warm terra cotta/clay colors this Fall. 


    What it is:
    An innovative lipstick that coats lips with bold color, long-lasting wear, and luxe comfort. 

    What it does:
    Drench your lips with bold color and unstoppable femininity. Designed to look as rock ‘n roll as its wearer, this revolutionary, hybrid lipstick is formulated with Color Cushion Technology™, which combines lasting-wear, one-swipe payoff, and velvet-touch comfort. This color-true lipstick leaves lips supple, and its wide color spectrum offers stunning shades, including red for every skintone, statement-making colors, and classic, everyday neutrals. 

    What it is formulated WITHOUT:
    - Parabens
    - Sulfates 
    - Phthalates 

    What else you need to know:
    Kat Von D’s Studded Kiss Lipstick is infused with vitamins A, C, and E, an antioxidant complex that leaves lips feeling soft, and the Crème Brûlée scent provides a subtle, sweet experience when you apply it. Designed by Kat to resemble one of her favorite bracelets, the black, monochromatic casing is uniquely studded and topped with her KVD monogram on the outer crown and bullet.
