Hi readers! How was your weekend?
Liquid lipsticks have taken center stage and today I am comparing NYX’s Soft Spoken, which is a pretty spot on dupe for Kat Von D’s Lolita. Take a look!
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita
Pros
Long-lasting
Minimal dry down time
Applies evenly
Color can work well for a variety of skin tones
Excellent color payoff
Cons
Pricey at $20
Accentuates fine lines
Overall: I really do love this shade but I’ve found that other shades from this same line don’t work so well for me. The application feels creamy and you get opaque color in one swipe. I find this fades pretty evenly and I have a bit of a stain left over even after eating and drinking. Exfoliating is a must beforehand but it’s worth the money.
NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Soft-Spoken
Pros
Budget friendly at $7
Applies evenly
Great color payoff
Good wear time
Color can work well for a variety of skin tones
Cons
Slow dry down time
Accentuates fine lines
Semi-tacky feeling
Overall: This is a good inexpensive alternative to KVD’s Lolita. It has great color payoff in one swipe and applies evenly. Application feels velvety but then turns into a tacky feeling that never quite goes away. I’m assuming this is the reason why it’s not that long lasting. Exfoliating lips beforehand is a must and I find applying a bit of balm underneath makes
Top to Bottom: Lolita and Soft-Spoken
Swatches from both lip shades. As you can see they are almost identical. Kat Von D is a bit darker with a little more brown.
Have you tried these? Which is your favorite?

wow! didn’t realize how similar these shades were! I must pick up that NYX shade thanks so much xx would love if you checked out my latest post xx
The NYX is a bit lighter but yes they are very identical. The price is nice too! ? Followed.
In picking up the Lolita duo set after work tonight.
Can’t wait to see the Lolita 2 swatch! ?
Well, they didn’t have it in stock (though the site said it was). Boo.
That sucks! ? Hopefully they get it back in stock soon. I know this is a hot commodity.
I’ll keep checking. I got something from Bite Beauty instead.
I have to check out the Bite ones. I’ve seen them all over IG and are pretty popular too.
Great comparison! The colours are pretty much identical – I’d probably personally go for NYX since they do pretty good quality products and at $7 you can’t beat that!
Thanks! Yes although NYX is a bit lighter, they are very similar. And, the price tag is wallet friendly. ?
Great review! I really liked NYX’s liquid lipsticks as well, but I found them very hard to apply evenly.. Is that just me? http://wp.me/p65oNU-6u
Sometimes it might be the lighter shades that can apply patchy. I find exfoliating lips and a little bit of lip balm helps. ? Thanks for stopping by.
Great advice! I’ll definitely try!
Hope it works for you. 🙂
Oh they look so beautiful Stephie these are just my shades!! Boots are starting to stock NYX over here so hopefully I’ll get that one when it’s in stores 🙂 woo hoo XXX
Oh I really hope you get this one soon! I know you’ll love the shade!

I have to grab that nyx one! I have Lolita and think it looks a little too dark on me but I love the color. The nyx one looks like it’d be perfect!
I think you’d like the NYX one as it’s a little bit lighter and of course budget friendly. ?
Great comparison!!!
Thanks! 🙂
Yay it’s up!! Ha ha you were right! They are sooooo similar!!! I’m going to have to snatch this up the next time I’m at ulta!! Great dupe!!!!
This was by pure accident, lol. I was at the NYX store and it looked like a pretty color and then it dawned on me when I got home that I had a similar shade. 🙂
It’s brilliant!! I wanted to buy the full size of Lolita but was hesitant over the price. You’ve saved me some money!!! 🙂 my wallet thanks you!!
Yay! So glad it worked for you! Do you find this one tacky, as in a tacky feeling? I was just curious to see if that only happened to me.
I did find it a bit tacky. I was kind of surprised it didn’t completely dry down, but it didn’t really bother me. The color makes it all worth it!! 🙂
