I've already reviewed KVD's everlasting liquid lipsticks before, so I'm not going in depth about this one since the formula is the same. This is a new and limited edition color called Project Chimp. 20% of each sale goes to the charity of helping retired/older chimps back to nature/sanctuary. This color is a warm red with some brown in it which I guess you can call it a warm brick red. It's very flattering and it's pretty much a universal red for everyone. It's also quite perfect for the Fall and the holidays that are coming up:) This is also Vegan and Cruelty-free!!!
SUPER-LIMITED EDITION: Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in “Project Chimps”
Save the chimps, one perfect red lipstick at a time! Kat created this exclusive shade to benefit a cause very near to her heart—ending animal testing. For every Project Chimps Limited Edition lipstick sold, 20% of the retail price will go to Project Chimps, a nonprofit organization that has worked to stop the use of chimps in private biomedical research and retire them to a sanctuary. With limited edition packaging and a warm brick red shade, this collectible lipstick is flattering on all skintones, so everyone can rock it and support the cause!
THE life-proof lipstick that will not wear off! Yes, you can eat, drink, make up, break up and mouth-off knowing your lips are gonna stay flawless through it all!
In 28 to-die-for shades, this creamy formula glides over lips like a gloss and sets to a true matte finish. Along with 24-hour wear and high-pigment color, the next-generation formula is packed with natural moisturizers, including Vitamin E and Sunflower Seed Wax. All-day wear has never felt so comfortable!
I got the brand new Anastasia Beverly Hills' Stick Foundation in the shade Beige. It's 0.35oz and costs $25. You can now purchase this product from ABH's website, Sephora, or Ulta. Watch my first impression and demo video here. All the close-up swatches and wear test/review are below. I really like this stick foundation, especially after comparing the amount and price to the other two similar products I will mention in my review. I'm taking this with me to my upcoming Shanghai trip. The only downside with all of these stick foundations is the lack of SPF, so definitely remember to wear sunscreen! Oh, and extra plus for this being Vegan and Cruelty-free!!!

Sleek tube packaging really resembles the Bobbi Brown foundation stick. While this costs $25, Bobbi Brown costs $46, and new Hourglass costs $45.
This is how much you get from the foundation, and it's less than half of an ounce which is way less than normal liquid foundations. Somehow, stick foundations are way less than liquid/cream/mousse foundations. This one has 0.35oz of product, Bobbi Brown one has 0.31oz, and the new Hourglass one only has 0.25oz.
Beige matches me perfectly, and there are tons of other shades to choose according to your skin tones and undertones.
It's definitely a thick cream stick formula and feels very similar to the Bobbi Brown foundation stick.
Looks quite flawless.
It's pretty much undetectable after blending in with my finger.
It gives off a very beautiful and natural finish with an illuminating primer underneath. Otherwise, it's a semi-matte/satin finish. I only applied once thin layer and then spot concealed with it. It's supposed to be buildable, but I don't like to pile on foundation. It quickly evens out skintone with just one thin layer, and that's what I like about it. It feels pretty weightless and blends in nicely. Only certain areas like where my fine lines are gets a tiny bit creasy/caky due to another layer when I spot concealed. I assume if you build this to an almost full coverage, your face will somewhat look a bit caky. Although I believe this stick foundation is more of a medium coverage and buildable to semi full coverage.
Even though this stick foundation doesn't have SPF in it, it somehow creates a slight white cast with flash photography(as seen below).
After 5 hours, there are more glow to my face, and I realized it's because of the Juice Beauty illuminating primer that I usually wear underneath causing the dewy glow. When I don't wear the primer underneath, I notice way less glow throughout the day. Still, the foundation held well, and doesn't disappear in areas even when my face get slight oily.
