Believe The Hype: Kylie Cosmetics

This is my experience with Kylie Cosmetics.

Believe The Hype: Kylie Cosmetics
Asia One Women

I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to celebrity makeup products; I know the makeup I do and don’t like and typically won’t try new brands or products. But after seeing enough on Twitter, Buzzfeed, and Facebook about Kylie Jenner’s lip kits, I determined it was worth trying out, at least just once.

After looking on her Twitter, Instagram, and website (thorough research is important) I learned that her products sell out incredibly quickly and certain colors are almost impossible to obtain. What’s worse, for the most part unless you have her app, you’ll almost always miss out on the sale. At this point, I was pretty committed to getting a lip kit, so I got a one-month subscription to the app and committed myself to getting one of her metallic kits.

I determined I would buy a metallic kit as I was most curious on the liquid lipstick itself rather than the full kit, which is what the metals offer. Also, they’re much cheaper. When the time came, I was able to purchase Reign, a ruddy copper kit. As I purchased Reign other colors went out of stock. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and in 30 minutes every color was sold out. Definitely, the most stress I’ve ever dealt with when buying a lipstick.

Because I’m currently abroad, shipping took a little longer than it would in the US. However, when it came, customs had messed with it and my package came empty. I immediately reached out to customer services in hopes they could either refund me or send me a new one. They responded after three days and told me they would send me another. The second package came much quicker than the first and actually had my product in it this time.

When trying on the product I noticed the color was much prettier than I had hoped for. Ruddy copper doesn’t do it much justice. The best description I could come up with is that it is a metallic mix between wine and maroon with copper undertones. It’s definitely a color that goes well with black and is easily dressed up.

The product itself was also great. I put it on early in the day to see how long I could get it to last and it lasted for hours. At one point I ate lunch and it was still on. The product did slowly come off, however, it was very graceful and didn’t come off in chunks. The consistency of the product isn’t particularly heavy and isn’t waxy like many lipsticks are.

While I won’t order another kit while I’m abroad, I will definitely order more when I get back to the US. I’m very impressed with the pigment and overall longevity of the product. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Definitely. I would recommend this product to anyone who asks.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
