If you’re looking for a portable, travel-friendly, extreme glitter/shimmery eyeshadow that is user-friendly, look no further! They’re buttery and smooth but they don’t smear and there is no fallout! I highly recommend you try these out.

My enduring love for KAJA continues! These lip stains were the gateway products into KAJA for me. I bought them a few months after they were released, tried them out and reach for them quite often.
If you are looking for a matte, buildable and incredibly long-lasting lip stain, you have to try these out. They’re so pigmented and long-lasting that I don’t use them when I have to work that evening or the next morning because the stain remains. It will pull a Rick Astley on you and never desert you. Cheesy but I had to say it.
The shade range is pretty solid, the colours go from nudes to bolds so you can definitely find a shade that suits you and your needs. That being said, I do wish KAJA would increase their shades; I would love to see darker reds, blood reds, pinks and oranges. Please, KAJA, can you do this for me? Please? Love, your enduring fan.
Onto the review!

Let’s just get this out of the way. I was in love with this shade the moment I swatched it, the idea of a glossy, glass-like lip made me want it even more. But the moment I brought it home, I hated it. If only NYX had Sephora’s return policy, then I could leave this bad memory behind me but unfortunately, I’m stuck with it forever. And no, I’m not going to throw out the product just because I hate it. I don’t know why but I just can’t do that.

I received this palette as a gift from Sephora! To be honest, I usually wear neutrals (shimmer or matte), or if I’m feeling particularly artsy, I throw in some bright matte colours but even then, I stick to pinks and oranges. I rarely use metallic eyeshadows and even more rarely, glittery shadows. I’m just not into a bright or a bold eye look; I tend to focus more on lips than eyes. Like a hypocrite though, I have so many metallic and glittery eyeshadow palettes (I even have three of Huda Beauty’s Gemstone palettes but they are more of a hit or miss, some shades perform well and others are chalky and/or disappointing) but I never use them, I’m just a hoarder.
Side Note: If you ever get a chance to try HB’s New Nude Eyeshadow Palette, I highly recommend that palette. It is easily one of the best performing palettes I’ve used (aside from Viseart’s Dark Mattes and Paris Nude palettes).

Review will be coming soon but for now, enjoy these swatches of the super long-wearing lip stains by KAJA!
Top to bottom: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05
These are super long lasting and comfortable and hydrating. Definitely recommend them!
Top is Simkung, bottom is Ingi in inside lighting, natural lighting and outside.
It seems lip stains and tints are all the rage right now and I couldn’t be happier. I love all of these smudged, sheer but bright lip looks and I adore seeing how creative others are with it too.
Gone are the days when matte liquid lipsticks were the latest trend (and I ended up with more than fifty different colours from different brands and never got around to wearing them all?) though I still refuse to accept they’re on the outs now. Has anyone tried making a diffused/blotted lip look with liquid lipsticks? I think it should work but for some reason, I struggle so hard with lip makeup; I was never good at colouring within the lines growing up, so there’s that.
Bite Beauty is the brand for lipsticks, the one brand you’ll only ever need. Trust me, their lipsticks are amazing, pigmented and comfortable; if you try one, you’ll feel this overpowering need to collect them all. And if you’re like me and you felt that need, wait until the holidays because BB usually comes out with a vault of their whole Amuse Bouche line and that’s how you smart shop.
I don’t wear lipsticks too often, I’m too paranoid about them smudging or getting on my teeth to feel confident wearing them. But with BB, I really forget I’m wearing a bold lip and they don’t bleed or smudge. But still, what’s worse than having lipstick on your teeth? Or, dear god, you accidentally smudge the lipstick on your face!
So imagine my excitement when BB released their trio of lip stains. Needless to say, I bought all three instantly, even the bright fuchsia pink. Yes, bright, almost neon pink! How crazy is that? It just shows you how loyal I am to BB and their lipstick quality.
