Lip Kit By Kylie Jenner: Candy K Dolce K & True Brown K Review and Swatches

I understand people's feelings about the Jenner & Kardashian family. I get BOTH sides (both the love & distaste...not so much the hate! To hate is pretty strong. LOL )! I never purchased anything from them in the past, because I never trusted their opinions when they endorsed a product. They seemed to endorse a million things! I felt everything they did was for money, without regard as to whether the product was good or not! Does anyone remember their Sears collaboration? The Kardashians and Sears, just never seemed right to me. LOL So after MANY collaborations (over the years) & product promotions, Kylie Jenner stated she was coming out with a liquid lipstick collection. When she started showing previews, I liked the colors (you know I love nudes)...I liked the packaging (it reminded me of melted chocolate)... and I loved that they were liquid lipsticks (you know I love lipsticks). Plus I collect makeup. So I decided to wait on the collection. It came out in November and sold out in seconds. You know my eyebrow raised up! LOL It then came out in December and I was able to get all 3. I had to purchase them separately and wait almost 15 minutes in-between each purchase, but I was able to get them. I tried them and they are really good! The packaging for the lipstick is absolutely adorable. The liquid lipstick comes in a clear casing, with a dripping/melted lipstick design, black top and Kylie's name in script. It has a doe foot applicator. What I find so fabulous, is the scent! Oh my gosh, it smells like CAKE! FROSTED CAKE! I could sniff it all day. The lipstick itself is like mousse. It feels so good when you apply it and the coverage is superb. This has NO PLUMPING effect you guys! So don't expect that. This lipstick dries down to a MATTE finish. The corresponding liners are very creamy and easy to apply. I must say these have staying power! You will seriously need to RUB to get these off your lips!

So the product is really good! However, there was a HUGE kerfuffle about dupes! Many mentioned some Colourpop shades as dupes, but if you watch popular YouTuber Amy Macedo's video, you'll see they don't exactly match up (some other brands didn't match up either). My favorites on me were Candy K and Dolce K. Both were very soft and easy to wear. True Brown K was more of a challenge. When first applied, it was streaky. So I had to put two coats on my lips below. I purchased a lot of brown lip glosses from Anastasia Beverly Hills, that I'll be featuring in the next post. They are a lot softer than True Brown K. So stay tuned :) In the future (if she releases more), I think I will stick to the lighter colors. As mentioned above the liner is very creamy, but the tip is all you get! It doesn't dispense any more product (it doesn't twist up...that's ALL the product you get). So I won't be lining a lot. LOL She is coming out with a Valentine collection soon and I show one of the colors below (Posie K) from her Instagram page.

Now, the bad points! Her liquid lipsticks are very hard to get (and she knows it). It doesn't have to be this way. She could sign with Sephora, Ulta, Saks Fifth Avenue etc. and they could sell her products. She could do a pre-order, so everyone could place an order, BE HAPPY and get her lipsticks. Instead, every time she releases them, HYSTERIA occurs. Girls are seriously crying and upset, because they are unable to purchase them. She has a huge, young fan base that looks up to her. At that age, FRUSTRATION sets in. Then it divides the ones who HAVE IT and the ones WHO DO NOT! It creates a tense and ugly situation. I was flipping channels one day and her mother (Kris Jenner) was talking to her father (Bruce Jenner). She was worried about Kylie (she seemed sad). This was before her popularity. Kendall's (her sister) modeling career had taken off and everyone else was pretty successful. I looked up and Kylie plumped her lips and her entire face had changed. There's nothing wrong with that and I think she looks great. I'm for anyone, doing anything that makes them feel better about themselves. But you would think, someone who went through feeling inferior wouldn't create such a popularity contest for others to get her lipsticks! She's now making other girls feel bad, when all they want to do is be like her. On another note, some complained about not receiving the product after paying or getting charged and then told they wouldn't be able to fulfill their order. So logistically, it's been problematic. I never had any problems with my orders! And I am very happy with all 3 liquid lipsticks! But I just wanted to share my thoughts on the entire situation. I purchased all 3 lipkitbykylie liquid lipsticks with my own money and would recommend anyone interested in purchasing them to do so. I could go on about my distaste when (she herself) people her age give someone the middle finger, call other girls bitches or basic but I won't. I hope it's a phase that disappears (as someone who is MUCH MUCH MUCH older than her). She has a lot of lovely qualities and so I just focused on those below. Those are my thoughts. Wishing you a lovely week.

Kylie Jenner is coming out with a Valentine collection. Posie is one of the NEW colors.

I thought she looked very beautiful at a Golden Globe party. 

Her outfit and makeup was gorgeous.  I thought it was the perfect combination of sexy & ladylike.  

You don't have to show everything to be such!

She and her sister will be coming out with a clothing collection soon. 

Appropriately named Kendall + Kylie
