Kylie Cosmetics

[Marsha Pomells]

I haven't purchased anything from Kylie Cosmetics. I'm not even fussed about the company. It was something that I found in the good old news app. I can understand that a lot of people will be pissed with the allegations, hence why I shared this and see what you guys think about the whole thing. Even asked a work colleague if she could see a difference, there is only a slight difference... But that's in both mine and my colleague's eyes.

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.

Love Maliboo!

Wearing Head Over Heels

Thanks for the info. I don't think I need the mini kiit. I bought the Head over Heels lip kit. I think Poesie is the other color I wanted but I can just buy a lip kit. Apricot probably wouldn't work on me. I don't remember what High Maintenance was supposed to look like. I will look it up. I haven't tried Mailboo but I probably couldn't pull that one off either. I think I have the others in either minis or full size.

Still no shipment notice though.

I personally prefer mini kits over the full-size lip kits because I don't ever finish a lipstick so I'd rather have variety over quantity. I added pics above.

Really? Wth?? When did you place your order? It took mine 2 days to get to NYC!

My orders still have not shipped I did get a "we haven't forgotten about you" email from KC CS.

I have been tempted to cancel my order because of the slow shipping, but the "one time release LE" part has stopped me so far.

I know someone who placed orders at 6:06pm and 6:08pm and they still haven't shipped. I placed mine at around 6:03pm (my email confirmation came late so I'm going by memory) and I got my order since Monday. I find it so hard to believe that 3 mins makes such a difference!

I got a shipping email today. I was just thinking if they are having the pop up store on Monday, I could get the items then and just cancel my order. But then I got the shipping notice. It would have been nice to get my order earlier in case I fell hard for something and would like another. I have to work late on Monday so there probably won't be anything left by the time I get to line up.

My first order with the palette and minis arrived today. Everything looks amazing!

My second order shipped today, so I should get it tomorrow or Monday.

Don't bother, I hear the line is ridiculous and even the people in the front probably have a 2 hr wait and those in the back may not even get in. WTF?? I'll pop by on Wednesday if they still have stuff. In LA they still had stuff on the 3rd day, but I'm not sure what kind of stock NYC is working with. I was going to scope it out today but it's wayyy too cold/windy.

Thanks! I was on my way and saw some posts about it right before I hopped on the train. Going home!

My Valentine's order came. The Diary is so cute! I can't wait to try it.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I finally made it to the pop up shop. It was hard finding current info on social media but when I did someone posted that it was about a 2 hour wait. This was on my way down about 2:30 but I couldn't get there until 4! Well, I had to wait a bit longer than that. So if anyone is going maybe get there before that would be good. I wasn't sure I could do 2 hours but I gave it a try. I figured I did about that for the mac sale this summer.

Anyway, I went because of the makeup lover in me and because I really wanted a Rose Gold back up. I heard that they had some of the limited edition products so I went to get some back ups of my faves and a few permanent items I've been wanting to try.

Figured I'd post in case any one was thinking of going.

Birthday Items I remember
-just copper cream eye shadow, no rose gold
-Poppin Gloss
-Leo lip kit
-I can't remember anything else from this collection

Koko Collection lip colors

Holiday stuff:
-holiday box - the one with a bunch of lip colors and 3 creme shadows and white Kyliner
-holiday kyshadow palette
-holiday mini lip kits
-holiday 4 color lip set (full size)
-Camo cream eyeshadow
-Plum cream eyeshadow
-Merry lip kit
-Jolly
-Dancer Metal
-white kyliner
-stocking
-pom pom

Valentine's Day stuff
-Diary
-duos
-mini lip set
-Valentine's lip kits

They had all the regular line stuff too. I heard the Peach palette was already sold out.
Oh and they were selling mini lips as singles for $5 each

I bought way too much
-Copper and Camo creme shadows
-Koko set
-holiday 4 lip color set

new to me stuff
-pom pom
-socks
-Chameleon Kyliner
-Ginger lip kit
-Dolce K lip kit
-Poesie Lip kit
-Apricot mini - I had the set but realized I had most of the colors and really just wanted to try Apricot. I didn't do any math to see if it was worth $5 but I had way too much in my basket. I put back the 3 lip metals. Already had them but was getting backups. I came to my senses. I did buy the brush set. I had no intention and no interest in it but yesterday I used the synthetic fluffy brush from Mac Makeup Masters collection and my Natasha Denona eyeshadow went on much more vibrantly than with the other brush I was using. I was thinking maybe it was to do with the fact it was synthetic. I don't think I have very many synthetic eye brushes. At least not a variety of them. I have a few small flat densely packed ones. So I was curious. Probably would have done better doing some research but it was an impulse purchase.

I guess I'll just keep wishing for Rose Gold to come back.

Edit - Oh and one the guys managing the line said Sunday was the last day.

 

[montREALady]

I went yesterday at about 1:30 pm, got in close to 3:30 and was out by 3:44 pm. I got the holiday mini lip kit, Kiss Me Valentine's Mini Kit and finally got the Bday Rose Gold Creme Shadow I wanted since after it sold out last summer! LOL. They charge NY taxes. I have a post on my IG if anyone is interested.

Oh wow, Rose Gold was there when I went, top shelf above Copper in its own jar. There were only a few in there and I didn't check anywhere else though. I got in the doors around 3:30 pm though.

You did good. I couldn't get there any earlier. No no Rose Gold. I checked every single one and asked. Glad you got one. Its a great color.

Some Kylie news: Apricot and Head over Heels are permanent and launching on Friday. Kylighters coming on Tuesday.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Did a look with the Diary yesterday. I used more of the cooler shades. The light pink, lavender and gray shades. Used Dancer metal on the lips. Really liked the look. The pink and lavender shades were quite glittery though and had fall out but I wasn't upset about it. Very nice spring palette. I noticed that I left it out open all day and now it won't close properly. Bummed about it since I liked that the packaging was quite sturdy. I don't know how I messed it up. I thought I only had to worry about getting the white packaging dirty. I'm going to wedge it between some palettes and see if that helps.

For those of you such as myself who don't follow Kylie on snapchat, here is a video from her snapchat featuring the Kylighters:

[video=youtube;ayr16AZTBa8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayr16AZTBa8[/video]

To be honest, I am not overly impressed with the arm swatches. The texture of the Kylighters look similar to the highlighters in the Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit, which unfortunately, did not appeal to me personally. There are videos from her snapchat that show the Kylighters being applied to her and her friend's face that look nice, but I think I'm going to wait until reviews come out from consumers before I purchase any. Also, while I do care more about product performance over packaging, I do think the packaging looks a little cheap, although I do like the design on the highlighter itself (as it falls in line with the drips she uses for a lot of her packaging) and the fact that it comes with a mirror. I personally hope they are priced under $30 each as I currently don't see myself willing to pay more than that due to the packaging, unless the quality of the highlighter itself is on par with other brands that sell their highlighters for $30+.

100% agree with everything you said here! I'll definitely be waiting on these. Especially because I just bought the new ABH Nicole G collab palette.
