ALIEXPRESS KYLIE LIPKIT REPLICA! ABSOLUTE STEAL OR COMPLETE DIVE?

Hello all!
So, I have been waiting for around a month for this gem to arrive, and it finally did, Kylie Cosmetics Lipkit in the shade Dolce K. I have been looking forward to testing this out and comparing it against my Kylie Lipgloss, and I am actually very suprised with how good this product is for such a low price compared to the real deal.




First of all, the packaging is spot on, it is a VERY good match to what I have seen of the real Kylie Lip Kit packaging, and if I didn't know it was a replica I would think it was genuine, but let me know what you think? The actual liquid lipstick tube feels cheaply made compared to the real deal, and it is a lot smaller than the real product. I have compared sizes to my lipgloss below.





The lipstick is a good colour and good match to the real, although the real is a lot browner and deeper, but it's still a good match and definitely buildable if you want to create a darker tone. The lip liner on the otherhand is HORRIBLE! The colour is a pale orangey, and doesn't match the lipstick at all, when I tried it on it was very obvious the tone was off!


When I applied the lipstick, it was quite streaky but once I put on a second coat it became opaque. However, it's quite drying and extremely hard to take off, so don't apply this if you are testing out lipsticks for a night out LOL, you might end up having to reapply your foundation :(.



This colour and formula is quite similar to NYX suede liquid lipsticks, so if you don't fancy the long shipping, then try out one their shades! I also have a blog post on NYX so check it out.

Overall I would give this product a 4/5, it's a nice colour, good match, inexpensive and if you haven't managed to jump on the Kylie Cosmetics band wagon yet, then this definitely makes you feel like you are part of the team!


Happy shopping!

ABH MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE

YES to this palette, can we just take a minute to have stare at this gorgeous palette! It is an absolute essential if you are a makeup addict like me.


The packaging is stunning too, a velvet texture with a magnetic close, it also comes with a really good brush which is nice and soft! 


I swatched all 14 shades with only one swatch of colour, so you could see them against my skin tone! I can't wait to create some really nice looks with these shadows. The formula is so creamy, the glitter shades almost feel like they are gel infused. They are all so pigmented too, the vibrant and bold colours really do pop.

This is a palette for everyone, people that like to stay in the box with their makeup looks, and people that like to jump right out. I play it safe, but I want to be able to create bolder looks so I think this palette will really help me. It retails at £41 which is spot on for this palette, the quality of the shadows and how well thought out the colours are, you can't really go wrong with this purchase!

If you are an eyeshadow beginner, purchase this and play around!
