These first caught my eye because of the packaging. As you
probably already know, I am a sucker for cats and cute packaging and I am not
ashamed to admit it.
Covergirl Katy Kat Gloss ($6.99) is probably the cutest lip
gloss you’ll run across.
I think cat people will go wild over these as each lip gloss
is topped with an adorable cat head top.
This isn’t a new idea, a lot of Korea brands tend to put out
packaging like this but it is new to drugstore makeup which does make it
unique.
Katy Perry has collaborated with Covergirl a few times
already with plenty of playful looks using Covergirl products but until now
none of that translated to the actual packaging of the products.
These are available in 12 shades ranging from nude to dark
blue and Hot Pink and each shade has a fun, cute name.
The formula is a full-coverage lip gloss that isn’t matte - Thank
goodness because I’m over the matte lips.
When opening them I found they are lightly fragranced and
smell and taste like vanilla. The scent and flavor didn’t bother me but I
wanted to mention it for sensitive users.
I purchased four shades – Catelope, Wine Feline, Candy Cat, and
White Catillac.
Catelope
This is more of a nude color and it has thick, creamy
formula. It doesn’t have a high shine finish but more of a sheen finish.
It’s more like a liquid lipstick than a gloss but it can
easily be removed by wiping it away.
The staying power is quite good though and if I wasn’t
eating, I could get about six hours of wear from it.
I did find the applicator was skipping on my lips during
applying the product. At first I thought my lips were just dry but with the
next use my lips were fairly smooth and the applicator still skipped a bit.
Wine Feline
This is a deep wine color.
This shade applied easily enough, no skipping, but throughout
the day it had a patchy appearance with color clinging to drier areas on my
lips.
This formula is also more like a liquid lipstick and has
more of a glossy look than the other shades I tried.
Candy Cat
This is a bright pink color.
It applied smoothly and although the color is a little
bright for me, once I blotted my lips a bit it was a nice nude pink.
White Catillac
I expected this to be a sheer white gloss with a hint of
glitter but it literally is white.
It has a thick liquid lipstick consistency but
I found the applicator also skipped quite a bit. I personally am not bold enough to wear this
on it’s own but I found when wearing it underneath a color it either
intensifies the color or helps to fade the color.
I haven’t tried any other shades, only because the other
shades are colors I most likely wouldn’t wear and they would end up sitting on
the bottom of my makeup case.
Overall I think Covergirl Katy Kat Gloss is worth a try.
I liked that they have a thicker consistency and that they
weren’t super glossy.
They weren’t sticky or tacky and that they had great staying
power.
Katy Kat Gloss is available now at drugstores or at amazon.com.
