Kat Von D Lolita & Lolita II Comparison & Swatches

Lolita- mauve/dusty rose/chestnut rose

Lolita II- coral/terra cota nude

I love both of them and both are really wearable, pigmented, and easy to apply but I do love the original shade a little more, just my preference. I do recommend applying a thicker consistency lip balm like Vaseline. I use Famacy's Lip bloom in Apple Rosemary. I sometimes exfoliate as well for a better and even application. I find that applying a thicker lip balm does prolong the hydration of the lips. 

Tartelette in Bloom & Tarteist Lip Paints || Swatches & Thoughts

Row 1

Charmer (off white), Jetsetter (warm taupe), Rocker (shimmering taupe), Smokeshow (black brown)

Row 2

Flower Child (peachy nude), Smarty pants(tan), Firecracker (bronze copper), Activist (dark brown)

Row 3

Funny girl (champagne), Sweetheart(peach), Rebel(chestnut brown), Leader (aubergine)

This palette is $45 for 12 colors (0.053 oz. each), it includes 9 mattes and 3 shimmers. All of them are really easy to apply and blend, they have a velvety smooth texture much better texture than the original Tartelette palette. Like the original Tarlette, I love this palette as well! Wearable, everyday looks with a kick of shimmer that's perfect for any special occasion or daily life. Finally a palette that contains really dark browns! It's really rare for me to find a really dark color that is an alternative to black in a lot of well known palettes, which was a big deal for me! No complaints really but Funny Girl you just have to build up a little bit and you're fine. Love this palette and this makes a perfect gift for the holidays, and compact for travel with a big mirror.

Tarteist Lip Paints

tbt (mauve)

 fomo (mauve) exclusive for VIB Rouge only!

twerk (fuschia)

 lovespell (pink)

 hangry (berry)

 manbun (dark berry)

 frenemy (burgundy)

These are $20 each for 0.20 oz. each, there are 14 colors and one color is exclusive for Sephora VIB Rouge members (fomo). I love these they are not drying on my lips at all. They have a mousse texture similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams but they don't dry your lips like the NYX ones. They are really comfortable to wear when it dries, it's similar to the Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme or NYX Liquid Suede which I both love! It feels really light weight, it stays on for a long time, stains your lips, and like I said it doesn't over dry your lips. Always apply a lip balm and don't apply these if your lips are really chapped because they accentuate your chapped lips, if that's the case exfoliate! It fades a little when you eat but it will still look wearable after, you might have to reapply if you ate some oily/greasy food. I really have no complaints about this product other than the color range as you can see, some colors are very similar that you can barely tell the difference, I was also hoping for that purple/pink color but it's ok because I have a lot of lipsticks that color anyway, but it's just something that I always look for other than any mauve and vampy red colors. These are now available on Sephora.com or call any Sephora stores near you!
