Previously, I wrote about the difference between a genuine and counterfeit liquid lipstick from the Kylie range. Now I am going to share my views on the real deal. I have 2 liquid lipsticks in Koko K and Candy K with the gloss edition of the latter.
I purchased all 3 products second hand on the app shop Depop. There's no need to be afraid of trying used products - check seller reviews and do your research on product authenticity and you will be fine. There's no way I was going to pay the tax, shipping and import charges as it would amount to at least £60 per product - not worth it! Sadly Kylie Cosmetics are not available here in the UK although a friend informed me she is planning on opening stores overseas! Do be mindful of merchants claiming to sell genuine products - there are no official UK stockists for Kylie's products yet!
Candy K Matte Liquid Lipstick (RRP $17 USD for all 'matte' singles.)
Perhaps one of Kylie's best selling formulas as it is constantly raved about in the blogger community. It's a warm mauve pink toned nude and a pretty universal shade - anyone skin tone would suit this natural colour. It's suitable for day and night, it looks great with smokey or natural eye makeup. This is my go-to natural lipstick.
Koko K Matte Liquid Lipstick
Named after Kylie's sister Khloe, this is a cool toned pale pink lipstick. There's not too much "blue" in the shade which is why I find it so wearable but I prefer to pair this with a smokey or more "done up" eye as they compliment each other much better in comparison to a bold pink with natural eye makeup.
Just to show the appearance of the applicator for the matte lipsticks. I love how the wand glides the product on your lips - it feels smooth and allows precision, following the natural lipline efficiently.
Candy K Gloss Formula (RRP $15 USD for each gloss)
Thankfully, the wand issue was rectified and I was lucky I'd purchased one of those "revamped" designs. Another go-to day to day lip colour for me, I have found my love for glosses again thanks to brands upping their pigment game. We will probably have to thank Kylie for this!
Swatches! From top to bottom: Koko K, Candy K, Candy K Gloss! Notice the gloss is a little more richer/warmer in tone than the matte formula. Still, look at that pigment!
I am so pleased with the products and I'd 100% purchase another lipstick from the line. The pigment is unreal, the finish essentially gives me life and the longevity is exceptional, even when you've sipped a drink or eaten! You'd likely require one top up per day, depending. There is a lip liner available in the lip kit purchases but I'm not much of a lip lining person, hence my decision not to purchase any for the time being.
:)
By the way, I hope you like the quality of these pictures! That's right, I bought a DSLR, FINALLY. It's second hand but good as new. I highly recommend a DSLR for bloggers alike.
