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!

Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures of the Adora Campaign "making off" and this nice video.

If you can't watch this video in your country, the same video is uploaded here without music.

Strippes Suit: Deeper, closer and live!

I've just finnished a video and I can't wait sharing with all of you guys!

Do you remember when Kat von D attended to the "Evening with Woman"  in Los Ángeles? What if I say, do you remember a red strippes suit?
Sure you do now.

This is a vid featuring red carpet short interviews from "All Access". I've just cutted the other celebrities and added more pictures. -Sorry for the watermarks :( -

I do really have a good time making those videos because I think the more, the better, in all senses. The more videos, the more people getting into them., the more people knowing more about her...

Let me know your thoughts!

Three post left for my post number 200 - I never thought I'd be writting this - and I wanted to make something special.

This is my first video upload for Youtube. Enjoy your senses!

Estrenamos Canal en Youtube: Ven a verlo

¡Hola a todos!

La semana pasada estuve trabajando en una idea para todos vosotros.
No sé si os ocurre lo mismo que a mi cuando busco videos en Youtube. Salto de un tema a otro y me olvido de lo que iba a buscar al principio.


Empecé a ver episodios de LA ink en Youtube antes de tener una conexión en casa para poder descargarme los capitulos.
Hay muchisima gente que ha colaborado a lo largo de los años en subir capítulos, pero no siempre el orden es el correcto o saltan de una temporada a otra, te suscribes pero dejan de postear videos, etc.

Así que he decidido crear un canal en Youtube bajo el nombre del Blog para facilitarnos las cosas.
Hay mil videos y mi intención no es organizarlos todos, sino hacer una selección e ir actualizando el canal cada semana.

Mantengo el mismo nombre para el canal, How to look like Kat von D (cómo parecerse a ...), y el fondo rojo porque creo que visualmente es muy útil  identificar que estáis practicamente en el mismo lugar.

Las listas están divididas en 4 grandes temas:

• TV shows: Miami Ink, L.A Ink, anuncios, promos y entrevistas.
• Todo lo que no es TV shows: Sephora, alfombra roja, firmas de libros, ...
• Fans (desde tutoriales de maquillaje a videos homenaje)
• Música

Éste último apartado es, junto a los shows, la parte más importante del canal.

La carrera de Kat está muy ligada a la música.
Uno de sus mayores intereses ha sido promover el interés de sus fans en estilos musicales que les sean desconocidos, desdel el heavy metal hasta la música classica. Otro día hablaremos del festival Musink.
Cercana a su generación, usa las redes sociales para dar a conocer la música que escucha. MySpace entonces, Twitter ahora.
Hace algún año, Kat colgaba en su página oficial listas de unos 10 temas pero sólo pudo mantenerlo durante un par de meses. Siempre es más fácil escoger una "canción del día" que pensar toda una lista.

Por otra parte, algunos de vosotros ya os habréis dado cuenta de que una parte muy importante de este blog está dedicada a la música, así que crear un canal de YT en el fondo era algo que sabía que acabaría pasando.
´
Lanzo el canal en el Blog sin haber terminado de organizar las listas más largas, pero he creído que os gustaría poder empezar a disfrutar de él desde ¡ya mismo!

¿Os apetece un poco de música?

New Youtube Channel Premiere: Come and watch!

Hi everyone!

Last week I was working in an idea for all of you.
I don't know if it happens the same to you when you're searching YT videos. I often jump from one to another and forget what I was looking for at the beginning.

I started watching LA ink episodes at Youtube before I had a  better (and powerful) connection that allowed me to download full seasons.
There is a lot of people who has collabored posting along the years, however, at times you can find lists where the order of chapters is wrong, you subscribe but the season is uncomplete or, simply, the guy doesn't upload anymore, etc.

So, I've decided to create a YT channed under the Blog's title to make things easier.

There are zillion vids and my intention is not ot organize them all but to make a decent selection and keep on updating the channel weekly.

Same title - How to look like Kat von D - and same red background because I think it visually helps a lot to identify and feels like you are in the same site, making yourself at home.

Playlist are set in 4 big topics:

• TV shows: Miami Ink, L.A Ink, ads, proms and interviews.
• Everything not TVshows: Sephora, red carpet, book signing, ....
• Fans - from make up tutorials to tribute videos
• Music

Together with the TV shows, this last chapter is the most important part of the channel.

Kat's career is attached to music.
One of her major interests has been promoting different styles - from heavy to classical- to her fans. Another day I'll be posting about Musink. It deserves a post for itself.
As close to her generation as she is, she uses social media to introduce the kind of music she listens to. MysSpace then, Twitter now.
Few years ago, she posted in her official page 10-tracked playlists during a couple of months. It's always easier either to choose a " Song of the Day" rather than setting a whole playlist.

Besides, as some of you have noticed, music is a very important section in the blog so creating a YT channel was something that was meant to happen, I guess.

Blog's Channel lauches having the longest playlists unfinished. I thought you may like to enjoy it from now!

¿Would you like to listen some music right now?
