Kylie Jenner x Matte lip kits

As you may already know by now I have a thing for Lip sticks/liners/glosses etc

So it only made sense that I attempt to get my hands on some of the infamous 
'Kylie Cosmetics : Matte Lip kits'



The first time I tried to order from the site I ended up ordering two of the same colour separately and incurred two lots of custom fee's. Not happy at all.
I received my two lots of 'True brown K' and when they came I really didn't love the colour next to my skin tone so didn't even try them on especially not enough to pay two lots of customs fees.

So I gave up on them and carried on with life. As I do follow Kylie on Instagram I was aware of all the different shades coming out and saw many swatches and youtube beauty 'guru's wearing them in tutorials. I eventually caved one night and was surprise how easy I found the process this time around.

I got myself five colours: 


Here is a look at them individually including what you get in the box:








Posie K & Dolce K are my favourite thus far. I have worn Dolce K abit more as it is close to my daily colours I wear at work. They go matte real fast and are very pigmented. Honestly, one application and I still have it on when I go to bed.
God forbid I do have my micellar water with me it would still be on when I woke up.
The brush is just the right size and shape, i despise those weird eye shaped brushes you get in some lip products these brushes are great for drawing on your lip shape with ease.

The colours are true to how they look in the tube but not true to the colour on the box. 

They cost $29 each + $14.95 shopping & £13-17 custom fee per box, I'll let you do the maths because I don't want to think of how much i've spent then it never really happened lol

Below are the tubes all next to each other to show that they aren't all the same colour as some people are stating.

(l-r: Koko, Dolce, Candy, Posie & Kourt)

I've also got some of the glosses but I will post about these separately.

Colorpop : Ultra Matte Lip

Some of you may have heard of colourpop via various YouTube 'beauty gurus' or Instagram.
I recently managed to get some shipped over from the UK as they don't ship internationally themselves.


I opted for the colours: StingRAYE, Tule and Teeny tiny




Review:
I must say of ALL the liquid lipsticks I've tried thus far these ones are my favourite, I actually forget that I am wearing it until I pass a mirror or something. It stays put well after eating, talking and my bad habit of biting my lips all day.

Karueche Tran has released a collection with them I believe is out now, I've seen some swatches of the colours and they look amazing especially for women of colour.

Duty Free Haul : Amsterdam March 2016

During my trip to Amsterdam in March I picked up a few things at Duty free in both Birmingham and Amsterdam Airports. I didn't manage to take any pictures of the duty free departments because lets face it MAC makes ladies lose all inhibitions lol.


I thought I would give you and Idea of what I purchased and what I wish I had bought. So At Birmingham Airport I picked up:-
  • MAC 'Antiqued Velvet' Lipstick : £13.15 
  • MAC 'Boldly Bare' lip liner : £10
  • A Juicy couture perfume and cream travel set : £19



At Amsterdam Shipol airport I picked up:
  • MAC 'Need to be lover' lip liner : €13.20
  • MAC 'Purple' lip liner : €13.20
  • MAC 'Oak' lip liner : €13.20


Only to get home and realise that I already have two of the liners, I really need to keep an inventory or develop a better memory lol.


I wanted to pick up the matte liquid lips but totally forgot at both airports as I was wading through the lip liners to find the colours I wanted. I did have a look in the Victoria's secret but as we only had hand luggage with us we were not able to bring anything over 100 ml of liquid which counted most things out. So I will have to wait until I go for a flight with hold luggage to do a bigger shop.
