Way back in February, Nancy McGuire, VP of product development for Kat Von D, kept fans in suspense with a picture of the team in a midnight blue glitter lipstick shade with the hashtag #comingsoon on Instagram, which of course had fans real shook. Well, we’re almost halfway through June and there’s still no news of a launch. Could someone please define “coming soon” for us?
But just a few days ago, Tara Buenrostro, a member of Kat Von D’s artistry collective, posted a selfie of herself sporting the lipstick in the same shade of blue on Instagram, where McGuire also followed up with a Boomerang of 11 starry lip swatches. And it seems like they are having fun teasing their loyal fans by coming up with this caption: “ What is on your lips @juscallmetara and does it come in more colours?”
Based on the swatches, the lipsticks looked pigmented, as usual, and it seems like it catches the light pretty well to give it a glistening effect. While the collection may not be for everyday makeup, we think the black metallic would be great for when you’re feeling grunge while the shimmery gold could act as a top coat and be applied thinly over your lipstick to give it some sparkle.
Again, the ambiguous hashtag #comingsoon was part of the caption and it does not help that it might take longer for the collection to reach Singapore (after all that teasing, it’d better be available in Singapore), but as long as we can get our hands on it, we shall be patient because good things come to those who wait, right? Meanwhile, watch this space for more updates on the launch.
