The moment I have been waiting for has finally arrived!
I was able to get my hands on the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit and I couldn't be happier about it! I was lucky enough to purchase them at the start of February when they were randomly released and sold out in less than 30 minutes. I knew initially when ordering that there was going to be a little wait seeing as I was ordering from the UK. I was impressed with the service though as I had read some reviews of there being hidden costs, but I am happy to share that the price I paid online was all of the costs covered! For anybody ordering from the UK the lip kits come to about £21, which for a lipliner and lipstick works out really affordable. I purchased two kits so together with postage came to £51.42. Right so onto the review...
Can we start off by talking about the gorgeous box that the lip kits come in? I love how well presented it comes and it appears that lots of care, time and effort has gone in to the whole 'Kylie Cosmetics' image. I wasn't expecting it to be as professional looking as it is! My only little worry about the delivery packaging is that it says what products are inside on the front label. This is a little worrying as there were messages of some lip kits going missing! Perhaps this is something they can change to help protect the products seeing how much they are selling for online!
The products come wrapped up nicely in-between two foam sheets which really keep the products secure inside. On top is the iconic Kylie Jenner 'lip' image with a message.
The two colours that I purchased for myself and my brothers girlfriend were Dolce K and Candy K. Both of which were in the original collection launched. My brothers girlfriend had her eye on Dolce K, and I knew that I wanted Candy K from the first moment I saw it! I think Candy K is the classic Kylie lip, so I was excited to try it out! Can we just talk about the boxes? How amazing do they photograph! So perfect for blog photography!
The first thing I noticed when opening the lip kit was how amazing it smells! It smells like candy floss! Both of the lip kits come out true to colour from the tube which is quite often a rare thing when buying a lipstick! One of the best things about this lip kit is how smoothly it applies. The idea of the kit is to line the lips first with the liner and then to fill in the gaps with the liquid lipstick. I have never tried a liquid lipstick before so didn't know what to expect. Initially I thought it was a little bit watery, but after using it for a couple of days I feel this helps the product to spread further and to apply smoothly when turning matte.
I thought I would show how long-lasting the lip kits are so rubbed off the lipstick with my Simple face wipes and found that the liner comes off without much scrubbing, but the lipstick stays put! This can be a good and a bad thing I guess! But for now I love how long lasting it is!
Overall I am so impressed with the Kylie Jenner LipKits. When buying from a 'brand' as big as the Kardashians, you often wonder how much quality has been spared to create a product that millions of people are guaranteed to buy, however this lip kit does feel like effort has been put in. There are a couple of improvements that I think could be made in terms of packaging and consistency but generally it is amazing! I already have my eyes on a couple of the other colours available, but am hoping to get Koko K and Posie when they are next released!
Hope you liked this lip kit review! I loved trying it out!
