Lets just start this off by saying that my purchase of a Kylie Lip Kit came as result of a lot of thought, self-loathing, and inner soul searching. To be basic or not to be basic was most definitely the question. My pride aside, there was also the fact that these kits don’t come cheap – they’re $30 for just one! It’s always hard to admit you’re a secret fan of the Kardashians, and even harder to admit that you purchased a single lipstick for almost the same price as a fancy meal at a nice restaurant.
I eventually decided to order one in a whimsical moment of weakness, which was definitely the best way to go since if I had continued to contemplate I probably would never have made up my mind. As per my experience, I would make sure to follow Kylie’s cosmetics line on Instagram and to add her on Snapchat. She posts a lot of secret deals and color releases on social media! On the day I ordered my lip kit, there was free nationwide shipping, which definitely made my decision to order slightly easier.
The lip kit came pretty quickly, and the packaging was actually super cute. Leave it to Kylie Jenner to make even the box she ships the kits in trendy. The box design has white drips on a black background and personalized note from Kylie (with personal meaning – she wrote it once and it was sent out to millions of teenage girls – so special!)
My lip kit’s color was supposed to be deep red, but it looked way darker on my lips than I had imagined. Honestly, I wish I had thought about the fact that it would be darker when it dried. I also do not wear any lipstick, so the sudden dark color was definitely shocking to say the least. My advice is get a color you know looks good on you. It probably would have been the move to pay a visit to CVS or Walgreens to find a general matte lipstick to try before investing in Kylie’s kit.
The lip kits have an all around amazing lasting time. This is the reason why I think it’s worth it to spend the 30 dollars. I wore the kit all night, and when I woke up the next morning, it was still there. It was honestly such a pleasant surprise. You can also wear the lip kit and still eat and drink. It stayed on my lips instead of getting all over my glass.
Whether there’s a special promotion or you’re just feeling spontaneous, I would 10/10 recommend being basic AF and ordering a Kylie lip kit. You know you already watch the show, play the Kim K game, and secretly want to have Kourtney and Khloe’s bodies, so why not try and emulate Kylie’s infamous lips too?
