review: katy kat pearl lipstick

Makeup and music are two of my biggest passions. There is nothing better than putting on a great song and getting glam! In the past, I have tried more than a couple of Katy Perry's Katy Kat Matte lipsticks. (Take a peek at my Try On Video if you missed it!) Recently, she collaborated with Cover Girl again to release a line of Katy Kat Pearl lipsticks. There were a few different shades to choose from (including a light blue that was super intriguing) but I wound up with Purrty In Pink, a super soft and pretty pink shade.

The packaging is slightly different when compared to the original Katy Kat Matte and the Katy Kat Pearl lipsticks. While the original came in a matte white container with black writing, the Pearl collection has shiny black casing and holographic lettering on the front. It was a pleasant surprise that they took the time to tailor the packaging to the product rather than re-use the same style.

Now for the colour and quality. This shade is very pretty and romantic - and it has that gorgeous pearly finish. The best way to describe this lipstick? Think of it as a your-lips-but-better kind of shade. The texture is smooth and moisturizing (more so than the matte line) and is ultra comfortable to wear. Cover Girl definitely impressed me with this one!

Here is a makeup look that I created using the Katy Kat Pearl lipstick in Purrty In Pink....

This is a colour that I can see myself wearing often. It is romantic, flirty, and totally perfect for the spring season. And just in case you missed it...here is my latest YouTube video!


Have you tried anything from the Katy Kat Pearl line?
