So in the Mini Kit, Apricot and High Maintenance are super light. I haven't tried them on my lips yet. Today I'm wearing Head Over Heels and it's gorg. I have a swatch pic and video from last night and pics today wearing HOH on my IG. The link is below. I may put the pics in here later when I have a chance to from my phone.
Thank you for reviewing the new shades from the mini kit. I felt like Apricot and High Maintenance (and Maliboo) would be quite light, however, I'm sure that with the right lip pencils, you can make them work when you do try them on your lips. I loved the swatches that I saw for Head Over Heels prior to it's release so I'm happy to see that it looks just as great as I imagined that it would when worn.
Still no shipment notice though.
The order that I placed for Kylie's Diary Kyshadow + Blush Palette and the Kiss Me Mini Kit still hasn't shipped yet. Including the day the order was placed, today will make 5 business days that the order has been processing, which is the maximum amount of time they state in the order confirmation that an order can remain in the processing stage. I hope that by today or tomorrow at the latest, we will get a shipping confirmation.
In the item description for Blitzen, it states that the shade is a "deepened raspberry-plum; a warmer version of Spice." While this doesn't equate to the exact same shade due to the difference in undertone (which in swatches of both Spice and Blitzen swatched side by side, they do practically look exactly the same regardless), my personal assumption was that they would pretty much look the same, which is one of the reasons why I didn't buy the Full-Size 4pc Holiday Kit since I already intended on purchasing the Spice Lip Kit as I wanted the shade and the matching lip pencil (although in hindsight, I still wish I would have purchased it for the other shades in the set). At most, I expected maybe a slight difference but not one where you could really tell the difference once worn or that would make so much of a difference to warrant a purchase of both shades. Although I do believe people have the right to feel upset if both shades appear to look exactly the same on them, I'm personally not surprised as that was what I pretty much expected after reading the description. Overall though, I'm not well versed enough in makeup enough to differentiate between these things, so my lack of knowledge in this area has spared me from being upset about this for myself, although I am on behalf of customers who feel as though they were sold the same item under a different name. To be honest, I think Kylie Cosmetics has a lot to improve upon as a whole and I hope that they are really making an honest effort to improve for the sake of pleasing their customers. The lack of adequate enough stock for initial releases, order fulfillment time, shipping costs, etc. still need to be addressed and fixed as it appears as though the company is always involved in controversy and there are always complaints from unsatisfied customers on their social media pages.
It took some minutes before I got the email confirmation but I got the Mini Kit!
