Hey guys! Long time no see, ever since school started (my freshman year), I've been super busy and haven't had any time to write blog posts. Since it's summer, I am going to get back on track with writing blog posts at least weekly. I'm excited, and I hope you enjoy!
Today, I am going to be reviewing the Kylie Jenner lip kits. Kylie released these around November or December of last year, and I haven't been able to get my hands on them until now haha! I know they are super hard to get, but you can follow the Twitter account
@LipKitUpdating. They post when the restocks are so that you can get your lip kit no problem. This is my first review on my blog, so here goes!
The only two kits that I got were
Koko K matte liquid lipstick and
So Cute gloss. I really want to get my hands on
Heir metal liquid lipstick.
The packaging: The packaging is so beautiful. I am obsessed! It's a cute design and extremely durable. You can drop this and rely on it not breaking for sure. They are a little on the big and bulky side, so if you don't like bigger packaging you might not enjoy this. The only thing about it is that the black lettering/designs kind of rips/flakes off as time goes by. It's not that big of a deal, but I'm nervous that eventually all of the designs are going to flake off.
The scent: I think that scent is a very important part of new products. Something that you're putting on your face should definitely smell good. The smell of these lip products have a VERY strong vanilla/cupcake smell. You have to love the smell of sweet vanilla things to like the smell of these kits. Personally, I think it's a little bit too strong. When I first smelled it, it gave me headache right away. Fortunately, once it was dried on my lips, I couldn't smell it as much which was great.
The color: The color definitely looks different on people depending on their skin tone. Kylie is way tanner than me, so I thought it would be a light pinky nude, but it is actually is a dark pink on me because I'm super pale. I personally just don't think the color suits me but I only have one of the matte liquid lipsticks, so it's kind of hard for me to judge. I definitely want to get more colors and see how they look on me! The gloss color is absolutely beautiful and suits me really well! I love it.

The formula: The formula for the liquid lipstick is good. It is so long wearing, and when I say that, I mean it! After it completely dries, it's like glue. I ran it under water and it didn't even budge! That's great, but the removal process is a different story - let's just say there's a lot of scrubbing. Since the formula is super long wear, it definitely dries out your lips. Even though it's very drying, it is still somehow comfortable! No stickiness, no transfer, no nothing - it feels very light on the lips. But, I don't know how Kylie makes it look so good, because it feathers on my lips and dries them out so much. It still looks good, but it's nothing incredible. The application process is a little bit hard as the applicator is kind of awkwardly shaped. I don't know if it's just me, but I find it difficult to apply somehow. It's not my favorite liquid lipstick in the whole world, but it still is good.
The liner is very smooth and I like the way it applies, although I find myself having to sharpen it after every use! It's so annoying. It definitely doesn't last as long as the lipstick, but that's expected because it's just a lip liner.

The gloss is one of my
favorite glosses ever. It's so amazing! It's formula is great, feels so good on my lips, and is long lasting for a gloss. I find myself reaching for it everyday, it looks so good on me and is easy to apply!
so pretty!

Overall, these Kylie Jenner Lip Kits are great - long wearing, don't transfer, and feel very comfortable on the lips. But I personally don't think they're anything special. I don't think they're worth going through the stress of buying every single color... but let's face it, it's still cool to have something Kylie Jenner made!
