When Kylie Jenner came out with her lipkit last year, "freak out" would be an understatement. As her brand has grown through the year, the product itself has gotten better and therefore, more makeup companies have tried to copy her.
Spending $30 on lipstick and lipliner, well, that's just gonna break your bank. Luckily, tons of different companies make similar colors, thought the application may go on different and may stick on different.
As obsessed as I've been to find the right lipstick, I tried both BH Cosmetics and Nyx for dupes on Kylie's Lipkit, and here was my experience.
I did a LOT of research to buy the colors I did from BH. I'm talking HOURS of YouTube videos of girls putting on these lipsticks. The problem is the opaqueness of these colors and the way they sit on the lips.
The product description of these lipsticks is "...a luscious, long-wearing, full-coverage formula that goes on wet and dries to a soft matte finish that won't smudge, budge, or transfer. Infused with Vitamin E for antioxidant protection, this high-performance, high-fashion lipstick adds effortless glam to any look with just one swipe. It's available in 10 colors, from baby pink to smoldering red to edgy blackberry, for day-to-night versatility."
All three colors go on the same, and as far as wearability goes, they don't budge through a lot. If you have anything slightly oily though, BEWARE because this will smear and rub off your face in no time. Avoid chapstick on top, seriously.
Sand: This is a very very VERY nude nude. It completely disappeared my lips into my face. It you layer it over another color lightly, it goes on well if you're someone that likes a more nude lip like me, but I would not recommend wearing it by itself!
This color has recently been discontinued, but I guarantee you could find it on amazon.com or something similar.
Samantha: Of the three colors I bought, I did like this one the best. It is similar to Posie from Kylie's Lip Kit.
Muse: I was the most excited by this color, and the most disappointed by this color. It goes on gray- straight gray. No gray undertone, but just. gray.
NYX Cosmetics:
Ulta Beauty has good deals and sales on NYX constantly. Therefore, I bought:
Here are the most popular colors on the lips, and below you'll see all available colors of NYX's Lip Creme.
I know, awesome makeup store haul. I. Love. Them.
All of these products smell good, none of them taste bad, and the Soft Matte Lip Creme stays on for a long time without reapplication!
The lip pencils go on like a dream and are long lasting. I didn't have to reapply them at all throughout the day! The Plush Gel Lipstick called "Burlesque" had a bright and vivid color with awesome application (it's a little feathery though, so I wouldn't recommend wearing it without a lip liner underneath). I was sad it didn't last as long as the Soft Matte Lip Cremes, but it is so compact and wonderful that I really don't mind.
Seriously, if you'r a girl on a budget, NYX is the way to go for a good Kylie Dupe.
The best shade I bought has the be the STOCKHOLM. London in the Soft Matte Lip Creme I am told is a perfect match of the Exposed shade from Kylie. I'm heading to ULTA today to get London so fingers crossed!! I cannot overstate how awesome these lip cremes are for a girl on a budget- their colors are fantastic, they don't dry out your lips, and as long as you avoid chapsticks and oily foods or biting your lips, this color will stay on until you want it off.
Overall, I would say best place to get cheap Dupes would be NYX Cosmetics. A perk of there's is that the colors dry the same as they are in the bottle- the bottle is just the same color that the lipstick is, so that makes finding the perfect color a loooooooot easier. It's only $6 for the Soft Mattle Lip Creme and that is, quite easily, the best money I have ever spent on makeup.
