Hello everyone, welcome back
Today we are unboxing
Kylie's 2016 Holiday edition lip kits
My first time being so close to the camera...
The reason why I bought it is basically...
Because of the hype it had on Instagram and Youtube
From beauty bloggers to...everyone else, basically
And the more I see them, the more I wanted to try (good marketing strategies!)
Taylor R is a huge fan of it too, I've seen it so many times on her videos
So I just had to give it a try
Kylie's products were so hyped in the beginning
there were even Ebay auctions that sold them for crazy amount of money
But now, you need to know this
KylieCosmetics restock pretty frequently now
So everything is very much in stock
So there's no need to pay extra on auctions for their products any more
And its web store offers free international shipping on orders over $60
So as long as you have a credit card that works
You can go buy them yourself
I made a mistake of buying this with a shopping service
Oops
It's the Burgundy palette, since I'm such a huge fan of red eyeshadow
I used it for today's makeup
I actually really really love this palette
There are a lot of great colors in it
But I'll talk more about this palette in a later video
"Battle of the Red Eyeshadow" XDDD
Let me tell you how I made a mistake in using shopping service to buy this
There was so much hype around this palette when it was first released
Looked like that it would go out of stock very soon
I was scared of not able to get it, so I turned to shopping service
So it's original price is $42
and my SS charged me $65
I didn't even check the original price before placing my orders
Only to realize that...
That this palette was almost never out of stock afterwards
and the original price was just $42
So I was like
Well the international shipping KylieCosmetics offers is kinda problematic too
They give you a tracking
but the tracking says nothing more than "label created" even after I received the package
it says "waiting for items" this whole time
In other words, it doesn't work at all
I think the website says it takes about 1-2 weeks
But my package, maybe because it was caught during the holiday season,
took a month to arrive
I was very anxious over it
since the tracking doesn't work, I was worried that it might get to the wrong address or what not
But anyway, it's here, finally
Let's open it
When I first got the package
I wanted to open it so badly
I had to pull at my own hand
"Don't open it! You have to do an unboxing video!"
So I waited till today. Am I not the greatest?
Ooops, should say the whole thing in English
The box has the signature Kylie melting thingy design
Let's see what's inside
Noooo my mini set is broken on the side
It's ok
First I saw
A greeting card
The entire holiday edition features the color silver
So everything is shiny silver
(translating it into Chinese)
[Explaining to Chinese audience why it's more sensitive to say "Happy Holidays" in stead of "Merry Christmas"]
And then we have the summary of my order
I forgot the price so let me see
No price?!
So I got the 4 pieces set and the mini set
And since the US launch time is early morning here in China
I had to set an alarm to wake up at 4am
It wasn't "that hard" to get
I think one of those two sold out in around 15 minutes
It's not that hard, honestly
It's nothing compared to AP at its greatest
SO here is the Mini Kit
It has six mini-sized liquid lipstick
Since the full-sized ones have a lot of products
Someone on Youtube did a test with it
and found that a full-sized liquid lipstick has around 120 coats in it
which means that it'll last you four months if you wear it every single day
So yeah, it's hard to use it all
The minis are great because they're smaller and cheaper
So you can pay less money to try more colors
You don't really know if the color is gonna work for you until you try it on, right?
So it's great to try more colors
And if you like it, you can then buy the full-size
But this time the mini set doesn't include any new color
except for Angel
Where's the colors
Yep so Angel is the only holiday new color here
We're not gonna swatch them today
Let's do this one
This is the Full-size 4 pieces Holiday Kit
And all of them are new colors
So let's open it
It's very pretty!
So here we have it
I remembered them all! Yay!
Normal Kylie lip kits have black tops
and black melty things too
But the holiday edition uses silver instead of black
We should start with the lightest color
Otherwise the dark ones will change the lips color
Let's try this one first
This one is called...Noel!
[explaining what Noel means]
So Noel is a golden gloss
I took off my sweater, it's too hot
Let's try it
It's actually golden gold
Let's see
GOLDEN LIPS
Even though it's a gloss
It's very pigmented
The color is very obvious
I think this will do
It smells like other Kylie lip kits too
A strong sweet, candy-like scent
Let me see
I'm back! I changed into a black sweater
It has gold embroidery that says "moon light"
I think it's from F.i.n.t
Bought it a few years back
I think the gold lips
are pretty unique
I think it would go well
with simple outfits
If you are wearing bright Christmas colors already (like I did in the beginning of the video)
Since gold is not a real color....? Is it?
Anyway it looks a bit busy
So I think it looks better with simple outfits of solid colors, maybe with some gold accents
the golden lips will complement the otherwise basic outfits really well
I feel so bad for all you beauty vloggers out there
You have to constantly zoom in for the details
And refocus
I can't be a beauty guru, too much work, god
Anyway since Noel is a gloss, it doesn't dry out
Yeah if you touch it you'll get golden things on your finger
It's pretty comfy to wear, and it'll be perfect for holiday parties
It'll add something extra for your holiday looks
Next one!
It's a pink version of Noel
Let's try this one on
Ok I just removed what it's called...?...Noel
I want you to go to your favorite beauty vlogger
and tell her/him how much you love her/him
Because
Anyway, let's try Cupid
It's sticky
The texture is very similar to that of Noel
This is one dip
I'm gonna take a second dip since the upper lip is not fully covered
I think I got Cupid on
I'm not too good at it but the color is really pretty
It's not as pink when you wear it
Since it's a gloss and doesn't cover everything
It looks like this
As I said, it's the same texture as Noel
But since it's pink
I think it would go really well with Harajuku street style such as fairy kei and decora
Like Kyary Kyary
wait no
Yeah I think it will go well with cute, pastel fashion or street pop fashion
So I decided to wear this sweater from Swankiss to match Cupid
It's of pastel blue color
It has cupcake print with pink, lavender and red
I think this color is very easy to wear as well
It's girly and pink but also has that little extra shine
Next we are trying Angel
This color is also included in the mini set
This one has the most signature Kylie matte liquid lip kit texture
That means it'll get completely dry and has a 100% matte finish
I used a couple of Kylie lip kits before, the color lasted very well
and in terms of dryness, I think it's not too bad
It's dry but it's just a very thin layer
so it doesn't feel like you had stickers on your lips
But as you can see, Kylie Cosmetics is an American brand
and it follows American aesthetics
They usually make colors that American women are fond of
such as all shades of brown and beige
And rarely do they have girly and cute colors
So Angel is actually very light and pink compared to other colors from Kylie's line
But now that I see it
It's kinda like a sausage meat kind of pink
with a little grey
Let's try it!
A regular lip kit would include a lip liner of the same color
So normally you outline with the liner and fill in with the liquid lipstick
But since this comes with the 4 pieces set, it doesn't have a liner
For unexperienced people like me, it's a little difficult
The color is nearly dry
My first thought is
Not girly nor cute at all
As expected
this is definitely a color the American girls will like
It's not very light
I saw other people's pictures and worried that it would look purple
It has a tiny little hint of purple but not obvious
It's very pigmented, same as other Kylie lip products
I think it's pretty nice overall
Now it's completely dry, this should be the final color
The outfit I chose for Angel is actually a JK uniform
It's from a Taobao indie brand
I really love the fabric, it's so soft and the colors are beautiful
It has a good student/senior student kind of feel
Since Angel is matte and the color is not that light
I feel that it's almost good for serious occasions
such as going to work, meeting or school
That's why I chose this outfit
Last we have Blitzen
I didn't know what that meant at first
And while I was listening to Christmas songs
Blitzen is one of the reindeers Santa has
Rudolf is the most famous one, but Blitzen is one of them too
So Blitzen is a purple-ish...kind of...
It's basically purple
Let's try it
This is unacceptable
Oh my god this is so hard
Very hard to apply evenly
Ok now I got Blitzen on
It's mostly dry
This one has a distinct texture from the others
I think some Youtube beauty vloggers mentioned that
Kylie's darker colors are not as good as lighter ones
Darker ones are harder to apply
It's true!
If it's just a thin layer, it's not dark enough
But if you apply a thicker layer, it's hard to get it even
And you can almost see the strokes
Of course, I'm not too good at this
But it's just really hard for me
I guess it looks ok from afar, but close up it's pretty much a mess
I guess it's real then, the darker ones are not as good
The color is a true deep purple/purple-wine
very gothic
kind of color
The application is a pain though
And my lips feel extra dry, perhaps since I had to re-apply and there's more product on
Yep, very dry
I don't hate the color, to be honest
But the application
I guess I don't like it
But once it's dry it doesn't come off at all
Ok so here's the last one, Blitzen
And while I was filming
Another package arrived!
I placed my order again on Black Friday
And I got it today, on Christmas eve
So about a month to arrive :(
Since everything was 20% off on Black Friday
I bought Leo lip kit, which Taylor uses a lot
But today let's try on another lip kit from the holiday collection
So here's the packaging of the holiday lip kits
a silver box with a little white ribbon on top
Because it's designed to be a Christmas ornament that you can hang...
like this, on the trees
The packaging is pretty cute, with silver box and white details
Let's open!
Since this is a lip kit, it comes with a liner
same color as the liquid lipstick
Merry is a slightly darker red
[Here I address the common misspellings of the phrase "Merry Christmas", apparently it's kinda hard to spell for my Chinese audience...skip to 21:40]
I was hoping for a pure red lipstick
Now I have mixed feelings
Does this count as bright color or dark one?
I hope it has the same consistency as the brighter colors
I hope it's a real red color that's perfect for Christmas
Let's find out
By the way the lipstick is really hard to remove
It lasts long, and it's hard to remove
Ok now I've changed into my favorite red sweater this year (it's from Dazzlin)
I think my lip color has been tinted by Blitzen a little
I think now they're slightly more purple than usual
It's...kinda weird
But nevermind
Let's hope that Merry will deliver
I hope it matches my sweater!
As I said, it comes with a liner
Now let's outline the lips with it
Ok it's done
The liner is pretty nice, very pigmented and glides right on
God I'm so blinded by this ring light
Now I see a shadow in the shape of a ring light everywhere
Beauty guru is hard work, man
Now let's fill it in with the lipstick
Please make it work, it's the last one
From the color I can see now, it matches with my sweater
Don't know how it looks when worn
You can do this
Very promising
I think in terms of how it applies, this goes between Blitzen and Angel
It's not as easy to apply as the lighter colors, but definitely not as bad as Blitzen
Or maybe because I improved
Now let's wait till it dries
I love this color, this is the shade of red I was looking for
But maybe I should have put on more product?
It's not covering my lip color completely
I can still see a little bit of my lip color underneath
Ok now it has dried
I really like this color, this is what I expected
It's a little uneven
But it's acceptable
I'm ok with it, and I might work on my lipstick application skills
This is Merry, as in Merry Christmas
Ok so that's the unboxing and swatches of Kylie 2016 Holiday Collection 4-piece set plus Merry lip kit
[That's the end of the video! I was talking about a giveaway that I'll be doing with my Bilibili subscribers till the end]
Thank you so much for watching it on Youtube!
Happy Holidays, and hope to see you again soon <3
