COVERGIRL Katy Kat Matte Lipstick Created by Katy Perry Kitty Purry, 0.12 oz (packaging may vary)

Item arrived clearly USED.In the middle of a pandemic, I was sent USED lipstick. I can't rap my mind around how that is ok. So someone had this lipstick, used it, returned it, and it was sent to me. How are you reselling lipstick that was in some else's possession?That or someone in the packaging facility used it before sending it out.Either way its all nasty and unacceptable.Sending used makeup is never ok. But during a pandemic is just......

Let me preface this review with - I usually only wear lip balm or gloss at most, and then I typically choose very sheer colors. I don't like heavy, I don't like reapplying unless I *want* to and lipstick usually doesn't allow that with the leftover ring around the lip thing it does when you live life, i.e. drink coffee, etc.I don't normally buy into celebrity hype. I am 37 years old. I know all the tricks they use in cosmetic advertising. That said, I think Kary Perry is fun and I've liked matte lipsticks in the past, but they were too drying. I liked some of the colors being offered - bright and fun like Ms. Perry - so, I thought I would give one a whirl. Picked up a pair at RiteAid for BOGO 50% off. And I loved them! My boyfriend liked them, too, so I ordered the rest that I liked the looks of online. In store availability is often limited with these special edition runs.Here is why I love this lipstick:1. Demi Matte Finish!-It looks cool and modern, but it feels great, too. It's kinda like a hyper pigmented, slightly dry lip balm.2. Long Lasting Color!-The matte finish and the strong pigment almost stains the lips. I've worn this at work and although I reapply after eating the staining quality of the pigment means it stays until you do something like eat, pretty much. It lasts through my coffee drinking just great! Sandwiches, not so much, but I have never been left with the dreaded lip liner look. Hooray!3. Fun, but flattering shades!-I've picked up most of them. I admit it! I don't have some of the duller hues, as flattering as they may be to some, and I haven't been ballsy enough to wear black. I am super pale and though I hate to say "too old for" anything - I love cartoons, stuffed animals, toys and games! I am a lady-Peter Pan! - I also just don't see black as being me. Maybe that's it. Not too young, but just not me. That said, all the other colors are so bright, flattering and fun. Here are the shades I have and my thoughts:01 Sphynx - The most natural hue, this is a great nude!02 Pink Paws - This is the second most natural color I have, with a bit more kick. It's a great pretty pink, and it looks great with pale skin!03 Magenta Mynx - This is a more vibrant pink, pretty much a hot pink. It also looks good on pale skin, but probably is vibrant enough for many darker tones, too.04 Coral Cat - This is the peachy version of Magenta Mynx. It is a bright hot coral hue. Also pretty on pale skin and likely also lovely on darker tones.05 Crimson Cat - I love red lips and have never been able to carry them off. I am not sure what it is about red that scares me, but yep, I am scared of red, and in awe, too! So, I got this "to try" and it does look nice, and like something I could pull off. I haven't worn it out yet, but I have hopes! Hopes and dreams are good, right? ;-)07 Kitty Purry - A gorgeous muted plummy pink. Almost a pastel feel, but not quite. If it were pastel it would probably wash me out since I am so pale, but this doesn't. Probably one of my favs of the bunch. This and Pink Paws, though... I love 01 and 03 and 04! >_<08 Cosmic Kitty - This one is a little odd. I think I need to get a lip liner for it. I like the color - a strong lavender shade - but my normal application methods (I outline below) leaves this weird looking as my edges are pink and the middle is purple. I need a lavender lip liner, I think! But that said, this looks like it will be cool with my currently pastel purple tinted hair. :-)To help you out, here is what Cover Girl says about application (I have copy/pasted this from their website, so these aren't my words!)HOW TO APPLYStep 1 - Start with clean, bare lips, then apply lip balm. This will help create a smooth base.Step 2 - Define the shape of your lips with a concealer, like TruBlend FixStick.Step 3 - Fill in your lips with lip liner, like COVERGIRL Lip Perfection. This acts as a base to help lipstick last longer.Step 4 - Apply lipstick either straight from the tube or with a lip brush. Blot, then reapply for a gorgeous, full color lip look.Okay, that's it for Cover Girl official directions!, and I am sure it works great, but here is what I do for a less dramatic, made up look and I like it:HOW I APPLY - For a lighter look1. Apply BB cream to the face - and this will include around my lips for a nice light coverage, comfy look and feel.2. Apply lip balm. Blot so it's not too heavy and too slick for color to hold.3. Apply lip stick, with the stick, mostly at center and gently around cupid's bow, but avoiding the edge of my lips.4. Use finger to pat the color out to the edges for a soft, semi-natural look.5. Reapply as needed! :-)Bottom line: I think I will be sad when these go out and I am hoping they maybe make this a permanent - or semi permanent as make up goes! - line. The colors are flattering, and some are a bit on the fun side. The finish is great, a bit modern and long lasting. I love this lipstick and plan to stock up on my faves - 01 02 03 04 and 07 - before these are gone forever!I hope this review helped! I added some pictures of my lips with Magenta Mynx freshly applied and after a few hours around the house, doing chores and sipping iced coffees! OMG - HD close up / Reality check! I need to wax my lip. Sigh, well, that's "keeping it real" for ya! LOL Hope this helps, too! :-) Best of luck!

Katy Kat Matte lipsticks in Coral Cat and Catoure, respectively.These are surprisingly creamy for a matte finish lipstick and go on really smoothly, I would say they feel similar to the Maybelline Sensational lipsticks or even to the YSL Volupté. It's actually more like a satin finish.I honestly thought Coral Cat was going to be streaky when applied on the lips but it isn't, it actually looks very pretty and summery. Catoure is a very pretty mauve nude for an everyday kind of thing, it's definitely a "my lips but better" shade.I have not tested the longevity of these two because I have not worn them for that long but due to the way they feel when applies I'd say 4 hours without going away completely (I'm making assumptions here) and they leave a bit of a stain like the YSL ones so it's like you still have the color on.I want to pick some of the more unusual shades from this collection to see if the formula is consistent or if it's only the "normal colors" that work well.

I bought two of these in Coral Cat and Pink Paws. I did this because a few years ago, on an impulse buy, I had purchased Cosmo Kitty, Cat Call, and Crimson Cat. I originally bought those three because of the way they looked and the colors they came in, and they went on smooth and were hugely saturated. (I'm an adult so any other marketing didn't effect me. I just randomly found them in store. And I strongly dislike Katy Perry anyways.)But something has changed since then. I don't know what. These two new ones are terrible. They are just horribly streaky and won't cover my lips at ALL. I don't think I should have to add those ridiculous steps outlined above for a quality lipstick- if I'm using concealer and then lining and filing in with lip liner guess what, I'm done for the day. But even adding lip liner does nothing. It still looks awful and feels cheap.Don't buy these. I'd say don't buy any of these. The outer packaging design doesn't match my old tubes- the font is smaller and the little pic between the text is different too. It's not the same as before so whatever this new stuff is, I don't think it's as good as the old stuff or it might even be bootleg (it says it's sold by Covergirl, but one was sold by a third party and they were in two separately shipped orders from Amazon). So I wouldn't trust any of the shades offered here, beyond just the two I bought.

I got the black color and it is definitely the dark color you are needing it to be. It does apply easily without any issues and I havent had an kind of irritation from it at all. My only issue is it is definitely just for looks. If you touch it at all, it is definitely coming off and getting on whatever you touch it with so you will definitely need to apply it a couple times a night if you are expecting to be doing anything like drinking, eating, kissing..etc

After looking through Katy Perry's lipstick line, I finally settled on Cosmic Kitty as the color that would best suit me and it did. I love it and it looks absolutely goregous. The color, while being a somewhat darker shade of lilac, doesn't look extreme. The lipstick goes on smoothly and seemed to stay put nicely. My only complaint is the smell. It very much smelled like a lipstick that should of been thrown out a year ago.

Compré el tono Catoure. Es un color hermoso que va perfecto con mi tono de piel (morena clara). No es muy mate. Es buenísimo para uso diario o para cuando te quieres ver natural. El diseño del empaque es muy bonito, se ensucia muy rápido por que es blanco mate.

Ich bin total begeistert von den Produkten! Die Farben sind so toll auf den Lippen. Jetzt schon mein favorite. Der Versand hat natürlich etwas länger gedauert, aber das warten hat sich definitiv gelohnt! 👍

Love the colour but have to apply it 10 times a day. Wish it lasted longer. I get lots of compliments on the colour just fustrated that as soon as i drink its gone:(

The orange is VERY bright. I have to add another colour to tone it down. The matte is interesting.

A mi mamá le gustó el color dice que está muy bonito
