I recently lucked out and was able to get my hands on Kylie Jenner's new lipgloss in the shade Literally and it's safe to say that I am very pleased! Kylie's products are so hyped up and sought after, so I decided to write a post to tell you about my experience with purchasing one of her lippies and also tell you my thoughts on the product.
First off, the price of the lipglosses are $15 each which converts to exactly £10.56 and I don't find the price alone too bad as you do get what you pay for. When purchasing, it didn't convert the price to pounds so it made it a little difficult to see exactly how much I was spending, which ended up being £21.09 ($29.96) exactly. Although I'm really happy with the product I bought, the international shipping is a little too pricey in my opinion as £10.53 for shipping, resulting in just over £20 altogether, is a little steep. Also, I didn't get a customs charge thank God! I think it's quite hit and miss, some people get a charge and others don't, I was one of the luckier ones which I'm quite happy with!
Now, I placed my order on the 1st of April and received it on the 11th, so it took 9 days. I was expecting it to take way longer to come seeing as it came all the way from LA to a little town in England, so I was super pleased! It came in the signature white box with the drip pattern on with lots of foam inside to keep the product safe.
I've got to say that I'm super pleased that I got one of the little notes from Kylie, I've heard that some people don't get them so again, it's quite hit and miss but I think it's such a sweet little idea.
On to the packaging, I love it! It's so cute with the drip design and minimal colours used, it makes the product really recognisable and it feels really expensive too. When I first got it, I was unsure whether the gloss packaging was made of plastic or glass cause of how high quality it feels but I'm pretty sure it is actually plastic. I love carrying it around in it's box too (I know I'm sad) just because of how cute and pretty it is!
Now, on to the actual gloss. I find it to be such a nice formula; it's really pigmented and moisturising and it is such a gorgeous shade! The website says it's a 'warm toned peachy nude' which I agree with, it is really opaque like a liquid lipstick and it is not sticky at all! I was expecting it to be, but on the lips it feels a lot like a lip balm which I really like. I love the colour on me and I think it would be a great glossy nude for South Asian skintones like mine. I can't rave about it enough, I love it!
