Is Kylie Cosmetics Really Worth All The Hype?
kyliecosmetics.com

Kylie Jenner is a 19-year-old socialite who is known mostly from the E! News hit TV show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." While most teens under the Hollywood spotlight spend their days partying and soaking up the fame, Kylie decided to take advantage of her connections, and begin her own brand of cosmetics. Are her cosmetics really as good as people say they are, or are they just loved by her supportive fans? Truthfully: her new brand, Kylie Cosmetics, is slaying the entire makeup game, and her products truly speak for themselves.

Being a Leo, born on August 10, 1997, Kylie decided to bless her fans with a limited edition birthday collection. This collection includes a makeup bag, a new gloss, a set of six mini matte lipsticks, her very first Kyliner in Dark Bronze that comes with a gel liner and a pencil liner, two new creme shadows in Rose Gold and Copper, a new Lip Kit in 'Leo,' and a new shade of her metal liquid lipstick in 'Lord.'

The entire collection dropped today, August 1, at 3 o'clock Pacific. Five minutes into the launch, Kylie announced to her Snapchat followers that over 300,000 people were on her site trying to purchase her new collection. Like all of her new releases, this release sold out in minutes. Thankfully, Kylie is restocking her collection multiple times up until her birthday -- August 10.

You may be asking, "What makes her products so worthwhile?" Honestly, I was skeptical myself when I first heard that she came out with her own line of makeup. I thought that the products were just hyped up, and that they weren't truly worth all the recognition. After seeing a few of my dear friends buy -- I am not exaggerating -- every single shade of her matte liquid lipsticks, I knew something was up. I can truthfully say that I was wrong, and that I am on the Kylie Cosmetics train.

Her birthday collection is literally infused with real gold, and it was everything everyone was hoping for and more. One complaint is that infusing her products with real gold made the collection more expensive, but honestly, I believe that the collection is at a fair price. Not only that, but every other product she has come out with is extremely reasonable for being a high-end cosmetic. $20 for a perfect creme eye shadow? Sign me up. $17 for the perfect matte lip? Don't mind if I do.

Besides coming out with a collection that quite literally gave her fans cardiac arrest when it was showed in a sneak peek, Kylie has released multiple other products that have completely changed the world's makeup game. For example, liquid lipsticks have been a huge trend lately, but Kylie set the bar so much higher for other cosmetic companies when she launched her first Lip Kit in November 2015. Everyone was so excited that the Lip Kit sold out within the first minute of the premiere.

Since then, other makeup companies have been working hard to develop a formula for matte liquid lipsticks that can match how wonderful Kylie's is. Her matte liquid lipsticks go on smooth, and dries to a powdery finish. They have 25 percent pigment, so the colors truly pop and they literally last all day. Not only that, but most shades of her liquid lipsticks have a lip liner to match. Your lip game will forever be on point with these two products. Even her new eyeshadow palette, KyShadow, is being raved about by well-respected beauty gurus like Jaclyn Hill. I'm telling you, everyone is raving.

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how beautiful her packaging is.

Bonus: Kylie Cosmetics is a Cruelty-Free makeup brand.

Double Bonus: All of the Kylie Lip Kits, excluding Posie K, are vegan!

All in all, Kylie Jenner is slaying the makeup game. Major props to Kylie for working hard, and establishing her own business at the age of 19. No one can question her fame after trying out her products. So, is Kylie Cosmetics worth the hype? Yes. It's worth the hype, and then some.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
