I love Kylie Jenner,she is one of the many celebrities I absolutely adore. I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to her , if you’d like to check out. I just love how at a very young age she achieved whatever she wanted, Although there are many controversies of the Kardashian Clan. But I am least interested in their background.
Kylie has a huge fan base all around the world, and when she launched her Kylie Cosmetics line it had taken the beauty world by a storm. When her website went live there were rumors that they crashed Google itself…. LOL.
I know its been a really long time since Kylie Cosmetics launched and there are people ,influencers, bloggers who loved her products but to me , I am sorry to say this but they were PATHETIC, although my love for Kylie will never change but her cosmetic line is a big NO NO for me.
Read on to find more.
So as I mentioned the Kylie Lip Kits were a huge hit among bloggers,Youtubers, Influencers and we have all seen how insanely these were promoted. Starting from the packaging to the swatches they were all over the universe(I am only Exaggerating here :D)
I got these from a friend who was in the US , as these are insanely pricey here in India. Luckily I got 2 lip kits Posie K and 22 on BOGO offer and I got 2 other liquid lipstick Leo and Khlo$ from her KOKO collection also on sale directly from her Website last year.
I don’t want to blabber much about the packaging as it has Kylie’s Famous Dripping full of filler (:D) Plump Lips as the logo on the cardboard and the classic KYLIE name imprinted on the lipstick tube.
Since these are like any other regular liquid lipstick with a doe foot applicator. Only thing I love about her lipstick is the smell. It smells of yummy vanilla sweet cupcakes..AAAHHHHHH
The formula is where it falls flat for me. They seem same like the Colourpop Ultra Matte(Another hyped product and brand) which I was not a fan of either. You wont feel anything while application. Its all smooth and loving initially. But as soon as they start to dry is where all the love vanishes. They start to settle in every line of the lips. I do have dry lips, but no amount of lip balm/butter can make this work for me. A total deal breaker was the flaking! I do not understand how can one or even Kylie Jenner can wear this on a normal day. I feel self conscious when I happen to wear them. They just end up looking like a mess by the end of the day. You cant eat or drink when these are applied on the lips. You cant even think of reapplying when they start to fade. They seem like a glue to me which sticks and does not let you have your lip movement. I would really want to know how do people make this lipstick work and what special techniques they use to make it appear the way it has been hyped.
I have used many liquid lipstick ,although there are some like the Colourpop which seem the same like Kylie, but there are so many wonderful brands out there for e.g NyxCosmetics or L’Oreal that make incredible liquid matte lipsticks and I would just want to give a suggestion if someone from Kylie Cosmetics reading this to use their techniques ,formulas to create one.
On a more positive note,the lip liner is where I thought my money was not wasted. It’s very creamy in texture and also comfortable and can be worn on its own.So if you like any color from the Kylie Lip Kit line, I’d recommend opting for the liner rather than the lipstick.
The shades I got was Posie K which is a very pretty cool mid-tone berry pink,22 is very vibrant burnt orange and my particular favourite from the shades. Next is Khlo$ which is cool toned nude and Leo which is a true deep burgundy and my least favourite since it flakes like anything.
So, are they worth the Hype ? NO ! NO ! NO ! And I can scream to the top of my voice that they are just not worth it. But since I am a fan and I love Kylie Jenner, I thought these were incredible but turned out they were the most worst liquid lipsticks I’ve tried.
If you liked this post don’t forget to share or pin it.
Also here’s a link to the Instagram Reel that I created along with the swatches.
Have you tried Kylie Cosmetics products? What do you think of them?
Till next time,
Be MashaAllah <3
I’ve actually heard a lot of reviews like yours – where people love the lip liners, but really aren’t a fan of the lipsticks. I’ve never picked one up, but I really feel like they’re marmite and as they’re so hard to get hold of in the UK I wouldn’t want to take the risk!
