Tank (no longer being sold through Halsey's store). Shorts. Bralette. Sneakers. Lipgloss (in Sanctuary). Sunglasses.

Today, I went with a relatively simple look to run some errands. I love this Badlands tank I got from Halsey's concert a year ago! I paired it with my new denim shorts, which is kinda different because I usually go all black with it, but I like it! I was between black and white Converse and went with black because my mom said they looked better (what a babe), but either choice looked good. 

My hair and makeup were slightly different than usual. I left my hair in a wet messy bun for the past day, so my hair came out super curly. I also put on my new Kat Von D lipgloss that I'm obsessed with, but forwent(?) the rest of my makeup. I'm used to doing a full face of makeup with a lip color, so this was definitely different, but I liked it! For some reason, my eyebrows appear darker when I don't wear makeup, and I liked the way that looked with my lipgloss.

Cruelty-Free Beauty: Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick

The other day, I went to Sephora with one of my beauty-obsessed sorority sisters and came across Kat Von D Beauty. I've been hearing a ton of great things about Kat Von D lately, so I decided to try out one of her lip colors since my lipgloss had worn off. I picked a dark tan color called Sanctuary, and as soon as I tested it, my sister started freaking out. "HOLY SHIT! YOU HAVE TO GET IT!" 

I've been looking for a deep tan lip color for a while, and this one was absolutely perfect. It really was my shade. I'm in love! I wasn't planning on buying anything at Sephora, but I had to buy this. And it wasn't super expensive, just $20. 

One of my least favorite things about matte lip colors is putting them on, because it can get ridiculously messy. This lipgloss went on like a dream. I was able to layer it and reapply without it looking or feeling gross. I will admit that it did feel a little sticky, but not enough that I was grossed out. In fact, I think the slight stickiness contributes to the fact that this lipgloss stayed on so well for a really long time. 

And the best part is, it's cruelty-free! I really admire Kat Von D for her firm stance on animal rights. Her line further proves that amazing beauty products can be made without harming animals.

I'm so excited to wear this lipgloss again, especially in the Fall! I'm so happy that I treated myself with this lip color. I'd 100% buy more of Kat Von D's products in the future!

Top. Sweater (no longer being sold at the Gap). Bralette. Leggings. Moccasins. Sunglasses (similar). Lipgloss.

I really miss repping for Serengetee! Thankfully, I can still rock their freakin' amazing clothes. I got this crop top for Christmas, and I love it so much! It's perfect to go out or just to hang out in. I think it's super sassy and edgy. It looks perfect with my bralette too! The high-waisted leggings look great with it as well, which is perfect because that's one of my favorite looks.

My grey sweater is making its usual appearance as well! I wore this look with my moccasins, keeping it super comfy. I also rocked my vamp lip, which looked great with the orange of the pocket. I just really love this look as a whole and I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can wear it more!

More Cruelty-Free Lipgloss!

Once upon a time, a clunky girl lent her favorite lipstick to her roommate. She never saw that lipstick again. To be honest, I'm not bitter. She looked bomb in it, and I needed a change anyway!  

What I Was Using: New York Color Ultra Moist Lip Wear (in Mahogany)

What I'm Using Now: NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick (in Vintage) 

My old lipstick was not cruelty-free, so this time I decided to try NYX again, since I really  loved their nude lipgloss that I reviewed the other day. 

I'm literally in love with this gloss. I absolutely love the color, and it goes on so well. It's fun putting it on! It may be weird to say, but NYX products have a certain taste to them that I love. Anyway, it lasted super long. I put this on and went out to dinner and it stayed on beautifully even hours after. 

Also, I loved that this gloss was matte. My other lipstick was not, and I think it totally needed to be since this color is so badass.

As usual, I absolutely love NYX. I just signed up for their rewards club, so you'll be seeing a lot more of them on The Clunkster!

NYX Lipgloss

A little while ago, as I’ve mentioned before, I went on a CVS haul and bought a bunch of random things that I’ve never tried before. I’ve only ever heard good things about NYX’s matte lipglosses, so I decided to give one a try!

What I’m Using: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (in Cairo)

I absolutely fell in love with this lipgloss. The last time I tried a matte formula, it was an absolute disaster, mostly because of the application. This lipgloss goes on so smoothly, it’s actually fun to apply. I adore the color. It really pulls everything together.

As far as lasting power, I think this does an okay job. The actual color stays on beautifully, but it does get kinda chappy eventually. It’s not drying though, which is great.

I really want to go buy a boatload of stuff from NYX. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from them! I want to get more of these lipglosses in different colors.
