Kat von D about Adora and non- pregnancy

Time doesn't fade for Adora

Kat von D keeps giving big news via Twitter. Last one is about her best-selling make up brand by Sephora.  Last collection released this autumm, Adora, is lately announced to be permanent.

Seems that because of the great acceptation by customers, Sephora made a second thought about her new palette and lipstick. Audience and Kat herself, who never stop repeting her new Underage Red from Adora's collection is her best lipstick so far, have been pushing the big mall to make this desicion.

So, more pictures of the big night for Adora and Tattoo Chronicles.
It's the first time we can see the book "live" and not only by its cover images :)

Fans were given a Adora's promo signed picture. Seems Kat charged her batteries with a lot of postive vibes from her fans.

Exposed

"We are exposed every day, no matter if it’s through internet, oustide or wherever you are. You always have the danger that someone hurts you, critizise your work or don’t understand it…”

“I think showing yourself as you are is the best personal satisfaction you can have because you are always straight, with nothing to hide..”

Two short sentences regarding fame.

Both are from people that own Beauty Channels on Youtube.
I don't know why but they are as loved as they are hated.
I consider them the "sensation" from Youtube. They have thousands of subscribers and among them there are people like Lauren Luke that succed and end up becoming part of the market and lauched her line of make up products.
Everyone can be famous. All you need is a laptop and a camera. Post a video on Youtube and wait.
Now multiply this feeling by 100 and you will feel like you are on your own reality TV.

What happens when your everyday life becomes being pointed at the worst and ugliest (furthermore, tattooed) celebrity?
So what if you don't look how you are suposed to?

I definitely don't look like I should do. Do you?

Being famous can make you weak if you start worring too much on what people will think about you, about what you do, etc. It's hard to struggle with it.
Weakness and vulnerability are things that could be seen on almost every season of L.A.ink. We will read also about them in Tattoo Chronicles.

I like to think that after a fall comes a rise and not the opposite. We love to say "The rise and fall of", "What happened to?" and so on. We love to literally eat celebrities alive and love to see them destroyed. While we watch their creepy and decandent life on TV we forget our misery.

Why is it so hard to be happy for the success of someone else?
Why is so difficult to hear a woman say that another woman is beautiful?
Considering that fashion magazines are most of them written by 99% of female staff is not strange at all that the most prolific tabloids nowadays are focused only on the most negative envy. Society is calling for more. For instance, headers like: How whoever-beautiful looks without make up? = ugly as hell. So, are we all of us  ugly in the morning? I don't think so. I take subway at 8 am and I see wonderful people.


Kat von D has her own reality TV, make up line and a non fit look. Add all this factor up. Scary, uh?
What a better way to start the new season that sending her cool messages of support?
Why don't you tweet her you're beautifully talented right now?

"Adora" keeps adding more items!

Adora is going to be lauch this fall, but this month Sephora is going to start to sell the make up products (eyeshadows and lipstick).

Today I received an alert from Sephora announcing another item:

Adora Traincase

Kat Von D describes the hand-sketched exterior design as her picture of beauty: raw, romantic, and tragic—but most importantly from the heart.

Adora exterior is adorned with butterflies and a Latin word : Libertas (freedom).
Its price, $150.

First case, Pandora, was released by the time her previous fragances, Saint and Sinner, where lauched.

Which is your fave?

Venusta Impetus: Buy it now!

If there's something I love the most it's names Kat von D chooses for her make up.

Name branding is a very important piece in the whole marketing strategies for every company.
Each and every item of her brand says something about her tastes and her way of life.


This fall, the release of Adora, her new fragance goes accompanied by a limited edition make up under the same name.

The True Romance Eyeshadow Palette Adora is avaliable from this month on Sephora and first reviews seem nice!

The eyeshadow palette has an inscription in it on the lid: " Venusta Impetus".

This old Latin words mean Kind Attack.

New palette based on a range of grey, from light to smoky, sure produces a hard impact.
Combining them all and apply it gently, may make you look under a kind mystery. Here you have the word play with opposed terms. Very HIM influenced, indeed.

Stay tuned for a complete review of the three Adora items - fragance, palette and lipstick - since the other two products has not been released yet.

Preorder "Adora" by Kat von D: Make up and Fragance

Sephora has recently introduced the brand "Adora" by Kat von D in their website.

As announced one month before, Adora is her third fragrance following up on Saint and Sinner last year and it's gonna be lauched this fall.

It's the first time Kat von D has created a label based on the name of one product.

The Adora  Collection consists in Fragance (1.7 oz  and roller - ball 0.33 oz) , a limited-edition makeup collection comprising True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Adora and Adora Painted Love Lipstick.


This time products are based on black/ red instead of black /white design.


Adora's perfume bottle design is the same that her previous Saint and Sinner. Inspired by nouveau artist (Alfonso Mucha), the solid black bottle's side panels are decorated with original sketches of whimsical features, flowers, and butterflies, in a captivating red ink.

Sure you don't have many black bottles :)

Rollerball seems decorated by butterflies instead of roses but I can't see it well.

Fragance is described as :

Adora means "Beloved One" in Latin. For Kat, Adora reflects the next chapter in her personal evolution—an introspective renaissance discovered through deep layers, stories, and scars. She's a romantic soul with an edgy exterior. Adora is a sensual and passionate perfume journey—unexpected and provocative. This scent reveals a stirring glimpse into an enigmatic life…tortured, beautiful, and brutally honest. At the top, crushed juicy notes of lychée and boysenberry intertwine with thyme and a crisp shot of cassis. The heart fuses the distinct sweetness of hyacinth with jasmine to create floral notes, enhanced by freshly peeled mango. At the base, patchouli finds her spiritual matches with sheer musk and amber wood.

Notes: Lychée, Boysenberry, Thyme, Cassis, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Mango Flesh, Patchouli, Sheer Musk, Amber Wood.

While Saint and Sinner complemented each other being the two sides of every woman , Adora's style is described as Passionate. Soulful. Complex.
 
 Read first comments and reactions about the perfume.

Make up items are limited, but don't worry, Sephora has lots of them before they are sold out.
 

Eyeshadow Palette is described as:

A smoky eye adds an instant air of mystery—create your own, from angelic to devilish, with the Adora Eyeshadow Palette. Designed by reality television star Kat Von D especially for Sephora, this artistic spectrum of shades brings an edgy-glam creativity to your makeup. Adora fuses love and fury—two sides of color reflect two distinct facets of Kat. One side has an assortment of frosty whites and silvers; the other includes a range of sexy black and maroon shades.

As her other palettes, it has 8 colours. Three come in cream and other three in powder.
The lid has a Latin sentence " Venusta Impetus" meaning "Kind Attack"

Lipstick colour is one of her fave reds.

Painted Love Lipstick takes Kat's signature lip color, a sophisticated red, and expands it into a range of smoldering shades, from crimson to blood red. The sleek black tube is stenciled with passionate red roses and speaks to a romantic soul, with an edge.


Prices: $16 and $55 for the 0.33 fl. oz. rollerball and the 1.7 fl. oz. eau de parfum; $34 for the palette; $18 for the lipstick. All available exclusively at sephora.com

I hope someone makes a tutorial with this products inspired by her!
