REVIEW | KYLIE JENNER LIP KITS

Happy Birthday to me!!

It was my birthday Monday and I was lucky enough to get these Kylie Jenner lip kits which I have wanted to get my hands on for so long. It was such an unexpected gift and I absolutely love them so far. The lip kits come with a matte liquid lipstick and lip liner and you can purchase them from the link below, they retail for $29 which is around £21 without postage, which is a pretty reasonable price compared to some of the other liquid lipsticks I have. My lovely boyfriend clearly listens to me go on and on as he got the shades right - I have 'Candy K' and 'Dolce K' which were the ones I wanted to try the most. Before going on to talk about the products and shades themselves can we just admire the packaging for a moment? Packaging alone they win for me. They come in a glossy box with the lip shade on the front as the picture above demonstrates, beautiful.

I swatched the matte liquid lipsticks along with the lip liners so you can see how they look. They are so creamy and the colours are gorgeous. You can see from the picture that the two are very similar in shades, however 'Candy K' is slightly lighter and more pink. I was quite surprised with the shades as they wasn't what I was expecting, by this I mean that on the box for 'Dolce K' it states that it should be more browny looking while it is actually more of a pinky peach, nevertheless they are still gorgeous shades. One issue I have with the matte liquid lipsticks is that they are really really dry once they dry on your lips and this is okay until you have to wipe them off when you take your makeup off and it feels like you're ripping your skin off -  my lips felt so sore after trying to get the colour off, in a way them being so sticking is a good thing as they will stay on your lips all day no matter how much you rub them. I also done the water test whereby after swatching the shades I put water on them and rubbed and they didn't come off so you know they'll stay. Just be prepared when you take them off. The two liners also match the liquid lipsticks well and really made my lips look nice and plump, the liners aren't matte but are more glossy so they make your lips pop more.

CANDY K

DOLCE K

you can see from the pictures that they are very similar but 'candy k' is just a bit lighter. I would definitely recommend these shades to anyone who loves pinks/light nudes and who can handle a bit of scrubbing of the lips. xoxo
