As most people probably already know, Kat Von D is now available in the UK (exclusively at Debenhams). The brand has produced a limited edition kit called "London Calling". The kit has been designed to give us Brits a taste of what the brand is all about, as it consists of three of their most popular products.
The idea is genius, however, the size may be an issue for some.
The kit includes a Studded Kiss lipstick in the very popular "Lolita", a Tattoo liner in "Trooper" and an everlasting liquid lipstick in "Double Dare".
A brilliant collection of products and colours!
The issue with this kit is that each items are just tiny samplers.
Studded Kiss lipstick 1.2g
Tattoo liner 0.2ml
Everlasting liquid lipstick 3ml
At the cost of £20 for the whole kit.
I have to say I'm not too impressed with the liquid lipstick, as it's sticky, and like most liquid lipsticks very drying. To be honest I'm not really a fan of liquid lipsticks in general anyway.
The Studded kiss lipstick, however, is perfection! I love the formula, as its matte yet creamy, with a very light weight feel to it.
As for the liner...well, I'm very conflicted with this one. I absolutely love the calligraphy style brush tip, which is a dream to work with.
However, I'm not too fond of the formula of this eyeliner, as it has a satin finish and does not last.
Left to right; Studded kiss lipstick (Lolita), Liquid lipstick (Double Dare) and Tattoo liner (Trooper)
Lolita is a warm tone pink, very similar to Nars Audacious lipstick in "Anita".
Double Dare is a neutral toned pink and slightly lighter than Lolita.
The shade Trooper is just an average black. Not the darkest I've seen.
My conclusion
The kit is a brilliant idea, but you won't be getting your moneys worth.
I bought this thinking they were travel size, and was very disappointed to see that they are only sample sizes.
In my opinion this kit should have been priced around £10.
As for the products, I do see myself purchasing the Studded lipstick in Lolita, but will be giving the other two items a miss.
Overall I do not regret purchasing this kit and am glad to have tried it.
5/10
