THE VERDICT:

A friend and I randomly talked about the Kardashians one time and we both agreed that everyone can love or hate them, but at the end of the day, they get what they want and those are: 1. They get talked about...a lot. 2. They get us to buy whatever they sell no matter if it's their latest video, newest show, brand new fashion/beauty line, or opinion. No, these girls are not blonde.

Case in point, the Kylie Lip Kit; it's probably this millennium's fastest selling lipstick line that gets out of stock right before Kylie announces that she has a new product or color (okay, I'm probably exaggerating here, but it REALLY sells out fast!). In fact, it's so hot that her website, kyliecosmetics.com, broke the Internet, particularly Google Analytics as the search engine company reported that it received the all- time highest traffic on a single period when she announced that she restocked all her colors one time; upon the announcement, 200,000 people flocked the website that it caused a crash that affected GA (still, people managed to get their orders through because the kits were sold out in minutes...again!).

I had to buy into the hype not because I like Kylie nor any of the Kardashians, but because I really like the artwork of her lip kits and the colors offered; for trial, I chose True Brown K, the first Kylie Lip Kit color that caught my eye.

KYLIE LIP KIT IN TRUE BROWN K BY KYLIE JENNER IN DETAIL

This duo is apparently Kylie's secret to getting her signature lips and it comes in her signature colors; the products come in a matte finish and promise to be long- wearing and non- drying; it comes in 9 shades.

Ingredients

One lip kit features a liquid lipstick and complementary lip liner; I think that this is a brilliant combination; lip liner and lipstick are equally essential in achieving a great lip, but it is only Kylie who has thought of selling both together and in uniform shades. I guess this is one of the reasons why it sells like hot cakes!

The lip liner has a soft, semi- creamy tip; it glides on easily, but doesn't snap off; the wand has a semi- doe foot look and comes in a medium size to fit most lip shapes and gets into corners.

True Brown K caught my eye because I've been looking for a real dark brown in a matte finish and this proved to be the perfect candidate; there's none quite like it and it is the dark brown that I have long been looking for. 

Consistency is a semi-runny liquid that starts off glossy, but eventually sets into a matte finish; it may highlight dry areas so scrub and moisturize prior usage; it is lightweight, clings onto the lips well, but doesn't feel uncomfortable, has great pigmentation, and finish is a nice kind of flat matte.

My problem with this lipstick is it can get reaaaaally drying, depending on the condition of my lips so to be safe, I wear it when my lips are in its healthy state; it stays put, but needs to be retouched during wear and can be wiped off.

I actually thought of investing in the entire line for my amusement, but realized that it's way too much money for a lipstick, especially since the nudes can be duped easily even if they're nice (hello, Colourpop) plus formula is drying out my lips big time so maybe I'm good after one more of this (22) and a metal lipstick. Is it worth buying? I think for True Brown K, yes, because it is such a unique shade!
