Impulse Cosmetics Duochrome Matte Lip Lacquers

I purchase all the shades from Impulse Cosmetics' Duochrome Matte Lip Lacquers line. They were having an offer of all the sample sized bundle deal on their website. All 17 shades mini sized for $50.83 plus shipping(free shipping with $100 order). You can also get them individually for $2.99 each for mini size, or $10.99 for full size. Most of these shades are Limited Edition, and I just realized that I'm missing two of the shades here, Poe and Jade. Apparently there are another two shades, Lilly and Serendipity, that's now on the website. Two of the shades that I have are already discontinued. I need to get the other four shades so I can update the swatches here. I absolutely love them and the formula. They dry very quickly into a completely matte finish. The duochrome effect is subtle because of the shimmery pigments in each one. The textures are thin and don't feel gritty on the lips. The color selection is vast and unique. They are comfortable on the lips and some stain as well. They are also long wearing unless you eat something very oily. They feel absolutely weightless on the lips throughout the day. I can't find anything negative about these. They also have a whole line of Matte Lip Lacquers which I will be getting some samples soon. 

This one is my favorite out of the ones that I have, and I have few favorites, but I will definitely purchase a full size of this color. 

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.
