Kylie Lip Kit Review - Candy K

Never in a million years did I think I would get my hands on the hugely hyped and ferociously coveted Lip Kit by Kylie until my amazing boyfriend surprised me with it as a 'well done' gift for completing my final year of University.

I have the shade Candy K which I assumed was a lucky guess on my boyfriends part only to find out that he spent hours watching YouTube videos to find the best shade for me (I know, he's so cute!).

So here are the swatches, they show up on camera as slightly darker and in reality Candy K is slightly rosier, but on the whole this is a good representation.

I have to say I went in sceptical as I just assumed that it was probably a very average product but having Kylie's name on it encouraged the hype. I was so happy to be proved wrong and I can safely say this is the best liquid lipstick I have ever tried.

The lip liner has a thick, creamy consistency that glides on with high pigmentation and a stay-all-day formulation, it's perfect for those who love to slightly overdraw their lips. It's comparable to MAC lip liners although I do slightly prefer the consistency of the Kylie one.

The liquid lipstick itself is amazing. It goes on smoothly and evenly, however I will recommend that you work quickly as it dries down in seconds and as with any liquid lipstick you can't layer it... once it's on, it's on! The formula is much more watery and fluid than other liquid lipsticks I have tried, but this isn't an issue if you have a steady hand when applying. When dry, it is completely matte and feels like satin to the touch.

The staying power of this product is what really surprised me the most. The first time I tried it out I applied it at around 8am and lasted through eating a greasy bacon sarnie, lunch and multiple cups of tea before I finally took it off at 4:30pm with only minimal damage around the corners and inner portion of my lips - bulletproof. I didn't find it at all uncomfortable to wear until around the 8 hour mark which is when I took it off.

Overall I love this product and would recommend it to anyone, I will definitely be buying more!
