Kylie Lip Kit Review and Swatches! Worth the hype? (Dolce K and 22)


Hello guys!
Today I would like to review Kylie lip lit in the shade Dolce K and 22! As you all know, these lip kits are made by the famous Kylie Jenner and a lot of people are going crazy to get them. So, I follow the hype and ordered 2 shades Dolce K and 22 from her 8 shades. It was very exciting moment to order online since everyone was on site by the time it restock on website and sold out in a few minutes. I woke up at 7 am to order these and managed to get the shades that I wanted luckily. I received the kits in about 12 days ( I use Vpost to ship over from US address ). Each lip kit includes one liquid lipstick and matching lip liner. The price for a kit is US$29 and flat shipping fee to US is US$8.95 and US$14.95 internationally. US$29 for liquid lipstick and lip liner is not so bad considering you got a lip liner too but I must say shipping fee is quite expensive. So it is more cost effective if you order 2 or more together. 

Lets start the review! I wore the shades a few times to try out before the review, btw. 


 


This is what it looks like for the packaging. It comes with thank you card signed by Kylie jenner and I like it. I really like the box design with the lips dripping and the liquid lipstick packaging too. I will not throw away both boxes and will display on my vanity. Thumbs up for the packaging!  :D




Swatches of Dolce K lip liner, lipstick and 22! ( from bottom to top )

I must say the actual product looks darker on the swatches than in the tube.  The lip liners are pretty creamy and easy to draw. The colours match perfectly with the lipsticks too. For the liquid lipsticks, the formula is quite liquidy and it dries quite fast like 5 seconds. Once it dried, it feels nothing on my lips and quite comfortable. They wear quite long on the lips comfortably throughout the day. When you eat something oily, it will fade a bit but it fades beautifully and you can touch up without  crumbling on the lips! I must say I am pretty impressed with the formula. They smell so good too and smell like vanilla cakes! I really like the scent. 





This is Docle K on my lips! I think the colours vary differently on the lips depending on your skin tone and original lip tone. Most of the colours appear darker on my lips than other people. On me, Dolce K is brown and lean to taupe more but I like it anyway. What do you think?






This is me wearing 22! On me, 22 appears brighter and more orange. On deeper skin tones, it appears as burnt orange. 


I  try to find similar colours for Dolce k from my collection but all look quite different.

To conclude the review, below is what I think!

Pros
  • Not drying on the lips
  • Comfortable to wear
  • Longwearing and easy to touch up
  • Yummy smell


Cons
  • Expensive shipping
  • Difficult to order



I must say it is worth the hype If you are willing to pay for shipping ! I want to get Posie K next and her glosses too! :) 
P.S I might review liquid lipsticks by brand next since I tried quite a few different brands! ;)
