Stay On Trend For Less!
This lippie you see right here was playing hard to get for the longest time! haha. About a month ago I received an email alert letting me know that the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita was back in stock so I ordered it right then and there. Part of me purchased it with fear of it being out of stock forever (lol) and the other part of me wanted it because I know this formula is amazing plus the color is so beautiful too! It does retail for $20 which is pretty pricey so I decided to look through my collection and find some similar colors to share with you! :-)Here's what the original looks like! It's described as a dusty rose which is kinda accurate. I find that my tube leans more brown which brings me to something I read online. I read rumors of a "Lolita II" releasing in the near future with more mauve tones. It seems like when Lolita first released it was more on the mauve side. Once it sold out the new batch leaned more brown like the one I own. The color is gorgeous nonetheless and within the dupes I have a a great mixture of shades that are in the same color family just in case you prefer the more mauve-y ones or brown tones.
The dupes I have today are mostly drugstore which is awesome because those won't cost you more than $8! The formulas are different which is the awesome thing about a dupe because if a matte finish isn't your thing I have a few cream finishes that you may like.
I have a total of five alternatives today, let's start off with the first one! I have a Jordana Easyliner in the shade Tawny, a cult favorite because it pairs well with so many lippies! The best part? It's less than $3.
Next up we have another Jordana product, one of their cream lipsticks in Grape! It's very hydrating, not a matte finish like the original but your lips will love your for that haha. It has more mauve tones and also retails for less than $3. Mac Twig lipstick is also a great alternative! It's a satin finish, so comfortable on and color is pretty darn close! It's the only non-drugstore dupe but it's still more affordable than Lolita! The next two are both from Maybelline which hands down is one of my favorite lipstick brands. The first one is a cream lipstick called Crazy For Coffee, definetely more brown than the rest but such a stunning color, one of my faves! Lastly I have Touch Of Spice which is part of their matte line. This is the most similar in formulation. The color is simply amazing too!
