Hello ladies! Here I am with the new exciting review of Kylie Cosmetics Limited Edition Lipkits in Skylie and Freedom. As I said these were limited edition so they are not available anymore. She launched these for the 4th of July, but since they are still on the website page I think she's gonna resell them maybe next year for the same occasion.
At first I was not sure about getting them because, you definitely can tell, they are really fun and particular shades. You won't be wearing a blue lipstick everyday for sure! However they were limited edition and I decided to get them.
As for the shipping I had no issues. They shipped them in 3 days after the order was placed and I got them in 10 days more or less.
I had to pay taxes unfortunately, this is probably the only aspect I hate every time I buy from Kylie Cosmetics. Taxes change from country to country so I cannot guarantee that what happens to me can happen to you. Every country has its own policies and laws, so you should check on the internet for that.
Speaking of the products themselves, the quality is very very good. The formula of the lipstick is very liquidy and thin, once applied it dries quickly. You barely feel it on
your lips and this is a great thing, since it isn't a popular quality in liquid lipsticks. What I don't like about the product is that it marks all the fine lines of your lips, this is a minor problem but I want to underline it.
The lipkit comes with the matching liner as usual. The liners are really high quality, they are creamy and very pigmented. Easy to apply as well.
It's suggested to line the lips and then apply the lipstick, but if you want the color to be more intense you can also fill in your lips with the liner.
The two shades are quite unusual shades but the colors are stunning. The blue is a very dark blue, while the second
color is a bright light blue. Both are the same in terms of quality, but I would say that they do apply differently.
Freedom, which is described as a rich navy blue, is a bit patchy. You should put two coats to have a smooth color.
Skylie is a bright sky blue.
I think the fact of Freedom being patchy is due to the darkness of the color, in fact it's more difficult to make dark colors even and smooth. Both are very pigmented and last a very long time. You can easily wear them all day and they will stay on till night even after eating and drinking.
My favorite is Skylie because the color is extremely flattering.
