Finally ! 3 weeks later and I now have my hands on the Kylie lip kit in dolce k. I still cannot believe I managed to order it within 30 seconds of it launching. It was very tough but my advice for all you lovelies is to be well prepared; I kept refreshing the page 5 minutes before it launched and had my bank details, address etc typed in a word document so I could quickly copy and paste them to place my order.
The lip kit costs $29 and includes a matte liquid lipstick and a lip liner.
It is available in 3 shade Candy K, Dolce K and True Brown K.
Candy k is the lightest shade and is a pink nude.
Dolce k is a light brown nude.
True brown k is exactly what the name suggests. A deep chocolate brown.
The box of the lip kit is 'dope' as Kylie would say. The dripping paint on the lips gives an edgy effect. The box is clean looking and informative; it's basically straight to the point with all the information you need on the back. The top tab of the box is the same shade as the lip colour inside which i think is very useful. The lip liner looks pretty standard and is a similar design to every other brand. The liquid lipstick has the cool dripping effect with kylies signature printed on it, giving it a more creative look. The liquid lipstick bottle is clear so you can instantly see how much product is still left and it is easy to clean (unlike frosted glass tubes which scratch easily).
I only bought Dolce K as I just did not gravitate towards the other two shades; I knew they wouldn't suit me or I would never wear them. Dolce K is versatile and suits every skin tone. One swipe is all you need as the product is highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. As soon as you open the liquid lipstick the first thing you notice is the wonderful vanilla scent it's as if you just stepped into a bakery. After applying the lipstick it dries in seconds into a matte brownish nude, it's totally transfer proof but does not feel dry at all. It's one of the very rare liquid lipsticks that feel light and comfortable on your lips. The lip liner reminds me of the mac pro long wear pencils as it glides on effortlessly. It is a must have and can be worn with so many other lipsticks (even on its own) !
If you missed out on the lip kit there are dupes for each shade from colourpop cosmetics at a fraction of the price ! I found the picture below on Instagram to show you, on the left it is by @lipkitbykylie and on the right it is @cakedconfessions swatching the colourpop ultra matte liquid lipsticks:
A lot of buyers have had many issues with purchasing the lip kit and unfortunately I was one of them. My bank account was charged for the product and I received a confirmation email but there was no following email with tracking details. I emailed several times and received automated replies advising to go on to their social media page which I did but there was no luck there either. I emailed the tracking team and 2 weeks have gone by but still no reply even though it states they will reply within 24-48 hrs. On top of that I was charged a custom fee for the lip kit of £12/$20 but my friend ordered 7 and did not receive a charge. I paid a lot for delivery and it took longer than the timescale stated on the website. Overall honestly for customer service I would give a solid 0/10.
Bad customer service aside I absolutely adore the product from the packaging to the formula it all works well. I cannot wait for more colours to be released in the next few months and many other beauty products.
