Hear what I have to say about the upcoming December 13th launch at Kylie Cosmetics. Will I purchase or anti-haul it?
Tis the season for holiday collections! Kylie Cosmetics already launched her holiday collection earlier but she's still giving her cult followers her some holiday treats. On December 13th, she will be launching her Bullet Lipsticks ($17), Skin Concealers (price unknown right now), and 16 Luxury Brushes (individual prices vary, set costs $360) as part of her Silver Series. Usually my "My Thoughts" series is based around products/brands that I've already tried out, but this is going to be a little different. Stay tuned.
BULLET LIPSTICKS
IT'S ABOUT TIME MS. JENNER. I have an infinite love for bullet lipsticks and I've been anticipating for the day that this would happen. I still haven't tried her velvet formula yet (sad face) but I figured a lot of the popular shades will be silently restocked when these babies drop. I'm living at the fact that there are going to be 20 different shades to pick from. According to Kylie, these are going to be a very full coverage "one swipe" (from what she said on snapchat) cream lipstick formula. I love the packaging, I love how her logo is stamped into the lipstick, and I love all the diverse colors. I'm not mad about this launch.
SKIN CONCEALERS
Speaking of diverse colors, look at this. I never really thought of Kylie Cosmetics branching out into complexion products, kinda feels a little random. Honestly though, shoutout to Kylie for at least being so inclusive in her shade range. I know that women of darker complexion struggle in finding products that match their skin tone and their undertone. Sometimes, us pasty girls struggle with that too when brands don't provide many options. I hate brands that offer a "Fair, Light, Medium.." shade range. I have a neutral undertone and most concealers with neutral undertones look so dull and don't brighten my under eyes. I don't know if that's just a me thing or what but, I hate it. Anyways, I don't think I will be picking up this concealer until I hear some reviews on it. I never buy complexion products without reading reviews, swatching it, or being recommended it. We shall see with these.
THE LUXURY BRUSHES
Tea is about to get spilt, not spilled, but spilt. THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS FOR THE WHOLE SET? The "wot in tarnation" meme would be appropriate right now. I describe the price range of the these brushes as a step below the cost of an IT Cosmetics brush. However, I've missed out on an important question. What are these brushes made of? I don't think I ever saw or heard what type of fiber they were made of, correct me if I am wrong though. Let's get real, $360 USD is too steep for anyone who wants to actually pay rent and eat this month. Why did Kylie Cosmetics not do separate sets for eye brushes, face brushes, and the whole bundled set? I don't personally need 9 new face brushes but I am not about to fight the masses to purchase each eye brush individually. Buying all the face brushes individually would cost $248 USD, bundle the brushes and have it cost $210-220 USD. Sure it's not an ideal price but it's better than $360 USD. Purchasing all the eye brushes individually would be $130 USD; bundle it and set the price to be $100-110 USD.
When she announced the price of the bundle, I was shook. But it'd take long for BH Cosmetics to capitalize on my distraught..
So the question is, will I purchase it? Probably not. The set is a definite hell no. Maybe I'll try a brush, but for now, no. I like BH Cosmetics and I love their eyeshadow brushes and I'd rather get those shown above over the Kylie ones. I'm not opposed to the Kylie brushes, I am opposed to the price, especially because I don't get the luxury of PR. I WANNA EAT AND BUY OTHER MAKEUP KYLIE.
OVERALL
I am thrilled about the bullet lipsticks, it's about time. If I am willing to fight the masses on the 13th, I'd get some lipsticks. I'm still a little iffy on the concealers. I love the diversity of the shade range but I want to wait until I hear some reviews. Kylie's launch into complexion products feels a little random but I'm not opposed to it completely. But let's talk about those damn brushes..
The set costs way too much. You barely "save" any money with the set when comparing the prices of all the individual brushes together and the brush roll (don't forget tax and shipping). It's just a very unappealing price point that I personally cannot get behind. I really don't want to try fight the thousands of people online shopping to get a few brushes that actually peak my interest. Next time, do separate sets for face and eyes and include a full set for the people that are crazy enough to drop that kind of money. I don't think I will buy the brushes any time soon honestly.
