REVIEW | Lip Kit by Kylie in True Brown K

February 23, 2016October 21, 2016by girlandvanity4 Comments

I was one of the lucky few who was able to grab a Lip Kit by Kylie when they came back in stock a couple of weeks ago. I only had my eyes set on one shade, which was True Brown K. Honestly, I initially wasn’t very interested in these kits at all. All the shades looked very generic and easily dupeable, and I’m sure most of you have heard that these liquid lipsticks were basically repackaged Colour Pop lipsticks. However, I’ve seen many reviews surfacing about these and many of them have been very positive. I recently saw a review by one of my favourite YouTubers, Farah Dukai, talking about how True Brown K had one of the best formulas she’s ever tried, so naturally, I was swayed and figured I wanted to give it a try (being a liquid lipstick fiend and all).

REVIEW | NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Rome, Budapest, Vancouver

January 22, 2016October 21, 2016by girlandvanity2 Comments

Before the liquid lipstick market exploded, the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams were one of the only products that actually delivered as a matte lip product. Even after the liquid lipstick craze, they still remain relevant, mainly because they’re affordable and have decent quality. NYX recently released several brand new shades, and I figured I’d give my two cents on a few of them: Rome, Budapest, and Vancouver.
