I Got a Kylie Lip Kit

Ok this title is a little deceiving. I got a Kylie Lip Kit back during Christmas and here I am finally giving my review two seasons later. I'm sure many of you have heard about Kylie Lip Kits by now. Kylie Jenner has really garnered a serious following of customers with these products. So much that Kylie Cosmetics has an estimated net worth of $368 million and Kylie was just on the cover of Forbes.

Last summer, I saw Khloe on an episode in Cuba with a fantastic shade of red. I swear this red was one I have never seen before and instantly I started researching the shade. Of course she was wearing a Kylie lip kit in Mary Jo K and I had to have it. Specifically because it was such a pretty shade of red and I had never seen a shade like it before! My best friend Abbey who is always so attentive surprised me with one for Christmas.

For $29 you get a matte liquid lipstick (0.11 fl oz) and a pencil lip liner (.03 fl oz). Honestly I could've done without the lip liner and could've just had the liquid lipstick which is $5 cheaper priced at $17. Comparatively my favorite liquid lipstick Stila Stay All Day 24/7 is 0.10 oz  and is $22.

The lipstick and lipliner come in the iconic Kylie dripping lip box. Which of course I have the hardest time recycling since I hoard packaging (is this a only me thing?!). The lip liner is similar to any other lip liner skinny and has a serial number. It does require sharpening which is slightly frustrating. The lipstick is in a clear tube with Kylie's signature on it and has drips in the middle of the bottle.

The liner claims to be wearable and creamy and glides across the lip. I struggle a little bit with the lip liner even with chapstick alone. The lipstick is definitely pigmented and I would agree its long wearing. I would say it is comfortable but it does stiffen up throughout the days and makes my lips feel kinda dry. In terms of texture it reminds me of Colourpop and Urban Decay's Vice liquid lipstick.

So final thoughts! This lipstick definitely holds up however it just doesn't look the same as I thought it would which is hard to explain but slightly a bummer. I was taking photos for the blog and tried to take this lipstick off and my goodness it didn't budge! So that's a good sign, but I feel hesitant. I do love the packaging and trying the buzz-worthy Kylie Cosmetics. Would I buy another? I'm unsure. If I realllllly loved the color I might, but I'd rather buy KVD ELL tbh.

While on the topic of the mean reds other noteworthy reds that I love are :
Nars Cruella
KVD Studded Kiss Cream in Underage Red
Stila's Beso

Oh and in case you want to purchase the Kylie Lip Kit it can only be purchased on her site here or at a pop-up!
