Little L Makeup: My Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit Collection (review and lip swatches)

I'm sure that everyone even remotely interested in makeup has heard about the famous Kylie's liquid lipsticks. For a while now they've been one of the most popular liquid lipsticks on the market, popping out from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube.. Soooo as the makeup junkie I am, I have been patiently awaiting restocks and buying shades I thought would suit me (most of them were hits, some..well not so much). Over the past few months I've collected a fair amount, enough to write this post :)
As you'll see, I have tried every formula she's come up with, there are mattes, glosses, velvet and metal.
Lip swatches will be at the end of this post :)
So let's start!

Harmony is from the Velvet range and is a warm mid-tone pink. The formula is absolutely amazing, it isn't matte but it's not too shiny, more of a satin finish that doesn't dry out the lips. What I love about this formula is that when it wears off a bit it becomes matte, but without the dry feeling. It is also very long lasting on the lips and when it starts to wear off, it disappears gradually (without leaving that awkward line around your mouth- we've all been there) :)

Moving on to mattes, they are extremely long lasting, kinda dry but nothing extreme. Just for comparison, ColourPop matte liquid lipsticks give me the creeps, they are the most uncomfortable liquid lipsticks I've ever tried (but I love their matte lippie stix). They really stay on the whole day, power through eating and drinking, without the need to touch up). Kristen is a beautiful warm,muted strawberry red, very pigmented and I think it would suit almost every skin tone. Mary Jo K is a gorgeous true red with a blue undertone which makes your teeth look really white :). Ginger is my favorite fall/winter shade. It is a warm rich terracotta brown.

The Holiday Collection

Moving on to Holiday Collection which had some amazing shades and a few misses. The glosses didn't impress me, they are sticky, goopy and overall nothing special. But I'm really not a lipgloss kinda gal, so don't take my word for it :) Noel is a true gold with coppery glitter, and as you'll see on the lip swatch, doesn't suit me at all. Cupid on the other hand is very pretty, a rose gold shade with pinky reflects. Again, very pretty and wearable shade but I'm just not into glosses.

Dancer is a metal liquid lipstick and I absolutely adore this shade. It is a rich burgundy, rusty, deep red and looks amazing in real life. The photo definitely doesn't do it justice. The only thing is, it's a bit sheer, so you'll have to build it up to your desired opacity, but it layers nicely so you won't have a problem with that. Also, the formula is very comfortable and long lasting.

And finally, the two mattes from the Holiday kit. Angel is one of my favorite day-to-day shades, it is a cool toned mauve. Lastly, Blitzen is a gorgeous dark purple with some fuchsia undertones. Unfortunately, the formula on this one is so streaky that even after 3 layers it still wasn't opaque enough. Also it stains your lips like a mofo. :(

And now, lip swatch time :)
