A fairly long time ago, I purchased this Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips Collection from a makeup show. Sadly, due to the mass amount of products I already own, this kit got buried at the bottom of my lipstick collection - too pretty to open for just any old occasion. Recently I did a major blog room clean out and came across these beauties again. I've since been wearing them, so I thought I would share a review.
As I purchased this from a makeup show, I was actually able to customise the kit and add in colours that I wanted; rather than a preselected set of shades. They were then displayed in this beautiful box as a lovely keepsake.
Because I'm a huge love of "my lips but better" shades, I ended up with two lovely nude pinks, one brighter pink and one red just for the hell of it. I spent a decent amount of time at the Klara Cosmetics counter picking out colours. I almost ended up with a neon orange - luckily I ended up with these safe, timeless shades, though.
09 Watermelon Kiss, 07 Sienna Nude, 02 Natural Pink, 05 Flaming Red
Unfortunately, the actual names were not listed on the tubes (at least nowhere I could see) but the numbers are on the bottom of the tube. The packaging itself is chic and looks nice and professional.
The doe foot applicator is precisely shaped to fit your lips when applying. It holds the perfect amount of product for an entire application, without overloading the applicator. This is probably my favourite type of lip applicator, particularly for matte products.
09 Watermelon Kiss, 07 Sienna Nude, 02 Natural Pink, 05 Flaming Red
As you can see, the shades are incredibly matte and very pigmented. This is one application of each shade; Flaming Red is probably the least pigmented and needs more than one application for that perfectly pigmented look. My favourite shades are Sienna Nude and Natural Pink, as these are the two most wearable shades in the kit.

Apologies for the terrible swatches - these were done rather quickly and late at night, so they are a tad messy. But in saying that, you can see how lovely the shades look on the lips, and how wearable all shades are.
I was really impressed with how matte the shades actually were, and how quickly they dried. As you can probably see, the shades do tend to cling to some dry patches, so I would recommend a good lip scrub before application.

Despite the hefty price tag
, I'm actually a big fan of the Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips. Even though I only have the four shades, I would definitely be interested in picking up a few more shades for my collection. They can be a tad drying on the lips, so after scrubbing, I would also recommend using an intense lip moisturiser to help protect your lips. I use a lip balm before every application and have had no troubles.
The Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips retail for $29.00 and you can buy them online here.
Have you tried the Klara Cosmetics Kiss Proof Lips? If so, what are your thoughts? Which shade is your favourite?

These look incredible! I'm really loving Sienna Nude and Flaming Red!
ReplyDeleteThese look pretty awesome! I haven't tried anything from Klara but I have heard a few good things about these. I especially love the look of Sienna nude!
ReplyDeleteTasha // shiwashiful.
Those are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteAren't they awesome!! I own 10 of the 12 shades I think, LOVE the colours in the range!! I'll put some swatches up in a post during September so you can see if anything tickles your fancy!! Hope you're well btw! Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteDisqus hates me!! Took forever to log me in, and now to load on each post! Argh!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink shade, looks pretty. My lips don't like matte products, but i do actually have a sample Klara one which is bright pink! Yes, I have worn it, just not often :)
They all look pretty darn gorgeous! I'd pay $29 if they last the distance and aren't too drying - the colours are all equally tempting so you got a perfect selection!
ReplyDeleteI still have my mini klara sample from one of the boxes, unfortunately they really dry out my lips... great staying power though!
ReplyDeleteThey are really gorgeous shades aren't they! xx
ReplyDeleteSienna Nude is sooo lovely. I have a few eyeshadows from this brand as well that I might need to get out for review too! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning shades aren't they! xx
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Haha I will definitely need to check out your swatches as I really do want more! (And I'm well thank you gorgeous! Hope you are too! xx)
ReplyDeleteAhh Disqus is being so naughty these days! Thank you for being patient and commenting haha :)
ReplyDeleteMatte products can be annoying so I get what you mean haha xx
I wore one of these shades out last night for the ultimate test - Korean Fried Chicken. Eat with your hands and everything. I was expecting my face to be covered in lipstick but it actually stayed put! This basically sealed the deal for me haha xx
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty dry, which is a real shame! xx
ReplyDeleteI've got one of the hot pinks from this range and they don't kid when they say kiss proof! LOL this ended up on my lips for days and the swatch lasted almost a week! I didn't scrub the swatch on purpose because I wanted to see how long it would last! DF xox
