“Each Lip Kit is applied with one swipe color that glides across lips and dries down to a powdery-soft, matte finish. Homogenous color in natural nudes and deep browns give unparalleled comfort and wear. The oil free formula has 25 percent pigment which provides instant color. The perfect blend of waxes, silicone and polymers give you smooth and easy glide color, with longwearing properties.”
The seller also noted that the two “Lip Kit by Kylie” products hadn’t yet arrived, but that the eBay seller would ship them upon receipt. It’s a sentiment echoed by Kylie on her Twitter account, as she updates her buyers to the shipping process, with Jenner promising faster shipping the next time around.
“Please note the Lip kit is being delivered to me and I will ship right away once I receive it. I did receive an order confirmation email.”
Meanwhile, those who have gotten their hands on a #LipKitbyKylie are sharing their looks under that hashtag on Twitter.

The lip kits represent a positive way that Jenner turned her lip filler controversy into profit. Initially, Kylie wasn’t ready to talk about her lip fillers, but upon admitting the truth, the interest in her lips continued, and now a bunch of interest about her lip kits are one of the results of such honesty.
Reviews about the lip kits from folks who’ve tried Jenner’s foray into the lipstick industry are being published online as well. As reported by Seventeen, Kylie’s matte lip kit fare and accouterments got a solid B+ grade from Elizabeth Denton, the writer who wore it all day, and received lots of compliments about the bold shade. Denton reported that Kylie’s lip kit contents lasted pretty much all day throughout her drinking and eating, and she only refreshed it once or twice with gloss that helped to moisturize the matte lip kit items.
Kylie’s lips have made plenty of news and created buzz over the years. Jenner admitted feeling self conscious about her smaller lips, and eventually made the admission that Kylie received lip fillers. In time, the social media craze called the “Kylie Jenner lip challenge” found some young folks sucking their lips into shot glasses and getting injured. Meanwhile, Jenner is facing accusations of lip imagery theft, as reported by the Daily Mail.
