So, Kylie Jenner’s much anticipated Lip Kit by Kylie launched and sold out 60 seconds later. You missed out. The word anti-climax was made for occasions like this.
Kylie launched with three shades: True Brown K (deep brown), Dolce K (beige nude) and Candy K (pink nude) – although you’d be forgiven for thinking there were only two because Dolce K and Candy K are so similar that I think I’ve now got RSI in my eyes. Each kit comes with a lip liner and a matte liquid lipstick so you too can get lips like Kylie Jenner. Minus the size.
Let’s be honest, these colours aren’t ground-breaking; it’s well documented that Kylie is a fan of lip products like MAC’s Lipliners in Soar, Whirl, Spice and Velvet Teddy, for example. Meaning although you may not have got your hands on a #LipKitByKylie, it’s totally possible to emulate these colours with other lip products.
Here’s some dupes you can get your hands on right now, rather than waiting for the Lip Kits to be back in stock (or buying one on Ebay for 10x the price).
