1. Kat Von D Studded Kiss Creme Lipstick in Lolita, $30

1/8

A well-known vegan and animal activist, it is no surprise that Kat Von D ensures her brand, Kat Von D Beauty, is vegan-friendly and do not test their products on animals. Although the Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks and Tattoo Liner are cult favourites, you should try out the newly reformulated Studded Kiss Creme Lipsticks if you have not done so before. The new lipsticks are creamier, smoother and much more pigmented, even boasting a larger range of colours, including those from the Everlasting Liquid Lipstick range.

This product is available at Sephora and the official website.
