Kat Von D the Star Studded Look Set

Holiday value sets are making their way into Sephora. If you like mini (aka fun size) beauty products, then right around now is the perfect time to try out a plethora of brands and products without the commitment of full-size. That being said, I've been playing around with the Kat Von D the Star Studded Look set ($24), which contains three deluxe-size Kat Von D favourites - the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Underage, Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper, and Kat Von D Immortal Lash Mascara. 

The Kat Von D the Star Studded Look retails for $24 CAD for $32 in value per the Sephora website. I've taken the liberty of calculating values for this set of minis and the $32 total value is accurate (I'm studying accounting. So I kind of like this stuff... except when it's on an exam).

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Underage ($26 full size // $10.40 mini) - Holy mother of pigmentation. This satin finish fire-engine red is HOT. The formulation is good but not amazing, it's not as creamy as you might expect and drags on the lips slightly. Other than that, the colour is superbly opaque in 2 layers and lasts through multiple meals (~7 hours). Plus, how cute is the mini lipstick bullet? 

Kat Von D Immortal Lash Mascara ($25 full size // $14.36 mini) - This is probably the most torturous looking mascara wand I've ever seen. The plastic bristles spiral around the wand and are concentrated at the very tip. This mascara claims to be a 3-in-1, do-it-all 24H formula that lengthens, curls, and coats. While no mascara has ever lived up to the curl claim on my stick straight lashes, the lengthening properties work for me (see the results below). If I wore mascara for 24 hours, I fear my lashes might fall off but this one stays all day without smudging or flaking so it gets my seal of approval. 

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper ($23 full size // $8.05 mini) - I can see why all I read online is raves for this liquid liner. The applicator is actually a number of very fine brush hairs stuck together to create a very precise tip. When I first used this liner, it seemed a little watery but with a little shaking and upside down storage, the formula was the blackest of opaque blacks - no need for double swiping. What I love about this liner is that it doesn't bleed or smudge and the brush is super easy to use. If you wear liquid liner on the daily, this is definitely something to look into. 

The Star Studded Look... 

Overall, I've easily worked these products together and separately into my everyday routine. I'm impressed with the performance of each of these Kat Von D products. So, if you're looking to try a bit of Kat Von D, be sure to check out this limited edition set!
