Well the Kat Von D Beauty site is a total bummer. I thought they would actually sell her stuff on there. Nope. Seems like it's just a place to talk about the products, but everything links back to Sephora lol. That sucks because I know a lot of people overseas that I talk to were hoping her site would ship to them :(

I absolutely LOVE her lock it foundation. It covers everything and has such a smooth texture. I normally use Lancome, but Kat nailed it on her foundation.

Well that does not surprise me , KVD ’s line is manufactured and owned by Sephora ( through their Kendo brands division ) .Sephora also owns Marc Jacobs ,
Elizabeth and James, Formula X , plus a few others and LVMH owns Sephora.
So it would make sense for KVD site to link back to Sephora. But the way it was mentioned on KVD site made it sound like you could purchase from KVD website.
Maybe Sephora thought her brand is doing so well ( which it is ) that it deserved its own separate site.

Hopefully they'll do more with it in the future and you'll be able to order from there eventually. I know a lot of people would be happy if Sephora just shipped everywhere!

I am just surprised that Sephora is not owned by Estée Lauder. Lol. They own just about everything else.

Estee Lauder might be kicking themselves for not being proactive before 1997 ( LVMH acquired Sephora in 1997 ) in seeing an opportunity
to further grow their cosmetic empire ,or maybe it did not fit there business plans to go in that direction.
Either way I too have thought about that as well.

I tried my luck at TJ Maxx and Marshall's but left empty-handed. Any Kat Von D products I managed to find were opened and tested, I didn't want to risk it.

That's a bummer :( That's one thing I hate about those places - the makeup always seems to be messed with lol. I feel like it's a triumph if I find stuff that's brand new and unopened!

I have had zero luck finding the older formula lipsticks on sale. Never went on sale at my area Sephoras (freestanding and in JCPs) and nothing has showed up at my 3 area TJ Maxxs or 2 Marshalls or 1 Burlington.

I'm bummed, but sullenxriot182, you are so right. It is very difficult to find any kind of makeup, lotion, etc. product at TJM or MS that hasn't been messed with. I see some of the nastiest stuff at those stores and only go in them when I am specifically looking for something I know has recently been sighted elsewhere in the US.

On the brightside, I picked up one of the last Interstellar ES palettes in this area a couple weeks ago during the Sephora VIB (for me) $20 off $50 promo. They're all long gone now. Haven't had time to try it out yet, but it looks lovely. And also-- finally, a cooler toned palette amongst the seas of warm palettes in makeup land! I will post again once I've used it.

It makes me wonder why the heck they don't do a sweep of that section every now and then and get rid of the damaged stuff. It's gross and no one's going to buy it!

Yay! I hope you love the palette - it's been my most reached for lately lol

I tried on the Outlaw I got from Marshalls. Boy is it a messy lipstick!! The formula is so runny, it leaks out of the tube and gets on my teeth before it dries! But for $7, I can put up with it.
