Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Review

Hey everyone,

About a month ago, I ordered a Kylie Lip Kit in the shade 'Koko K' and I've been using it for the past month and absolutely loving it so I thought I'd do a review on it for you!

Koko K is such a nice, pretty pinky nude shade, which is perfect for everyday wear. The lipkits come with a liquid lipstick and a lipliner, and they are only available from Kylie Cosmetics website. The lipkits are on sale for $29 USD which is around £20, however, shipping to the UK costs $14.95 which is around £10, so in total, you're paying around £30 for one lipkit. The delivery took around 2 weeks which is what I expected as they are a popular company to buy from and it was being delivered from America, but it was packaged very well and arrived safely. 

The shade that I bought was Koko K, it looks a lot lighter in the bottle and when you first put it on, however, when it dries on the lips it comes up a little darker. The formula of the lipkits is so nice, they take around two minutes to dry on your lips, and once they're on, they last so well. When I first used the lipkit I thought that it was a lot more liquidy than I expected, however, it works so well and creates such a nice matte finish.

The applicator of the liquid lipstick is a 'doe foot' applicator, which makes it really easy to apply it. The lipliner is a plastic material, which does make it a little harder to sharpen, which is a little annoying, however, the lipliner makes the liquid lipstick so much easy and nicer to apply, and it can be used with other lipsticks as well, or even on its own!

Overall, I really like this lipkit, I think that Kylie has really put a lot of thought into the making of it and thought about what the consumer wants, rather than just making money from it. I do also think that it is worth the money, however, if you are thinking of buying one, it might be better to see if a friend wants one as well so you can save on shipping and reduce the costs of the lipkit! The only major downside the lipkits have is that the shipping costs so much and they aren't available anywhere in the UK yet- however, I imagine that once her company starts getting bigger, they will branch out!

Let me know if you've got a Kylie Lipkit, or any of her other products, and what you think of them!

Sleek Cream Contour Kit Review

Hello everyone!

I have been looking into buying the Anastasia Cream Contour Kit for about 2 months now, but I just can't bring myself to spend £40 on it when I haven't seen it in person! I therefore started doing some research into some cheaper cream contour kits and I discovered that Sleek Cosmetics had recently released some. 

The palettes are on sale for £10.99 at Boots and Superdrug, which I think is a bargain for a cream contour kit, especially if you just want to try out cream contouring (like me) before you splurge on a more expensive, high end palette. 

The contour kit that I bought is in the shade 'Light' as I'm fairly pale, and this has been a good match for my skin tones. The palette has quite a cool undertone to it which I really like as I feel that that suits my skin tone the best. Sleek do three shades of this palette- Light, Medium and Dark. 

The palette comes with 6 shades, including a yellow toned highlight shade, a pink toned highlight and a cool brown contour shade. Due to the fact that the palette has a variety of lighter colour shades, I think that it's perfect for a range of skin tones, as if you have yellow undertones you are able to use shade 1 to highlight, and if you have pink undertones, you are able to use shade 2 to highlight. 

All 6 of the shades have such a creamy formula (obviously), but what I mean is that they apply to the skin so nicely and blend so well. I would say that the lighter two shades are a little sheer, so you do have to build it up to really get the true effect of the highlight, however, as the shades get darker, they get a lot more opaque. 

The application of the product was a little strange at first as I'm not used to working with a cream product, however, after I had used this product a few times, I found out what the best tools are to use with it and what shades to put where etc... to get the perfect contour look.

After trying out a few different methods to apply the product, I decided that the best way was to apply the product to your face with a brush (especially the contour shade to get a precise line) and then to blend it out with a beauty blender/sponge. This leaves you with the product exactly where you want it, rather than it being all over your face, like I found happened if you apply it initially with a beauty blender!

The kit comes with a little piece of paper that instructs you where to put each shade which is useful, however, I personally didn't use every single shade on my face as I feel that it can take a lot of time and it often isn't necessary.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product if you're looking for a cream contour palette, it blends amazingly and the contour shade (shade 6) is such a nice cool toned contour shade which creates such a natural contour. I would recommend to set the contour and highlight in place, which will make it more intense and make it last a lot longer, however, once its in place it lasts all day!

Let me know your opinions on this product if you've tried it out for yourself :)
