The end of this month marks the one year anniversary of Kylie Jenner's famous lip kits. Her first launch of the matte liquid lipsticks in the colors Candy K, Dolce K, and True Brown K sold out in just minutes. Since then, Kylie has released 23 more shades of her coveted lip kits. Each Launch and restock has sold out remarkably fast. She has even come out with lip glosses in the shades Literally, Like, and So Cute, and a metallic liquid lipstick line as well. There has been so much mention of the makeup line that I dare to say that Kylie Jenner may have usurped her older sister, Kim Kardashian's place as queen of social media.
Naturally, I had to get my hands on this product and see what all the hype is about. I first purchased the lip kit in two shades- Exposed, a warm mid tone beige, and Posie K, a mauve pink. The lip kit retails at $29 and includes a matte liquid lipstick and a lip liner. This is not a bad price considering many competing liquid lipsticks are $20 and do not include a lip liner. The first thing I noticed, of course was the adorable packaging from the box to the tube of lipstick itself. I lined my lips with the matching liner which was easy enough. The liner was a nice creamy texture. I moved on to the liquid lipstick. I couldn't help but notice the sweet scent of the lipstick, almost like the icing of a cupcake. Personally, I did not mind the scent, but I can see where it might bother someone who i sensitive to scents. Luckily, the scent disappears as quickly as the lipstick dries which is just a matter of seconds. The one bad thing about the quick-drying formula is that there is not much room for error while applying. The lipstick does feel a little bit drying, however as any lover of matte liquid lipstick knows, regardless of the brand, they all feel this way. Devin Schubring said that, "It almost feels like I'm not wearing anything. It's a non-sticky formula and I love the colors!" The color of the lipstick is very pigmented, so no complaints there. The lipstick did look dark against my fair complexion, but I love a good, bold lip. "I really love the colors and so does everyone else. I always get compliments when I wear them," Jessica Korray commented on the lip kits.
To really get the full scoop, I of course had to wear the lip kit all day. It's longevity was certainly impressive. The lipstick lasted for hours without smudging on the outer edges of the lips. I enjoyed my daily latte with no lipstick print on the cup! The lipstick even lasted through lunch with only a little bit of wear on the inner lips. This was not too noticeable with the lighter shades, however I imagine it might require some reapplication with more vibrant shades like the red Mary Jo K or the dark purple Kourt K.
Overall, the Kylie lip kit is a win in my opinion. I have since acquired Merry, Koko K, and even a metal, Heir, to add to my makeup bag.
