Hi, dolls!

I wanted to do something special and because we haven't had a giveaway on my blog in a while, that's exactly what's going to be happening today. Last week, I asked you guys over on instagram if you'd be interested in entering a Astrology-themed makeup giveaway and the response was great. Although not everyone had the chance to enter their looks on time, I picked 10 contestants and it's your turn to pick not one but 3 winners! I hope you're as excited as I am, so let's get right into the giveaway!

1. You can vote ONCE every 1 hour for your favourite look using the poll below.

2. You can leave an EXTRA VOTE by commenting the number of the look in the comments below. However, for your comment to be valid, you MUST be following my blog. (CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW)

3rd & 2nd place will receive a 4-pan Colourpop Astrology palette each of their choice. If for some reasons the palettes become unavailable, both winners from 3rd and 2nd place can pick up something from the Colourpop website of their choice in the same prize range ($9).

1st place winner will get to pick between receiving either a 9-pan Huda Beauty palette or Kayali 10ml fragrance of their choice.

For today's post, I wanted to rank my entire Kayali collection and since my birthday is coming soon, I decided to host a birthday giveaway! If you're interested to find out more about each scent, let's get right into the review and check out below how to enter the giveaway! xo

As I've already reviewed each of the scents in separate blog posts, I will keep this rating very short and I will link my full review to each as we go along. Keep in mind that I do love the entire Kayali collection and this list is based on my fragrance preferences. Make sure to tell me in the comments which of these would be your number one! 

Out of the entire collection, this was the scent I wasn't planning to purchase simply because after trying it for the first time I didn't like it. I got it in the mini 10ml version to give it a chance and add to my collection. The opening gives me a burst of jasmine and vanilla. I find this Musk fragrance to be super powdery - it's a beautiful warm fragrance but definitely too powdery for me and it's not a fragrance I would usually wear. I've also noticed that this fragrance is not as long lasting as the other Kayali fragrances and it has to be my least favourite out of the entire collection. 

Currently, there are 10 types of lip products that you can purchase from Kylie Cosmetics. These are: matte liquid lipsticks, velvet liquid lipsticks, creme liquid lipsticks, glosses, high glosses, lip liners, creme lipsticks, matte lipsticks, metallic lipsticks and lip blushes. This review will not include lip blushes and metallic lipsticks because these were sold out when I was making my purchase. Lip blushes are currently back in stock, however the metallic lipsticks are gone from the website and I think you can only purchase them as a lip kit and not a single.

Matte Liquid Lipsticks

This was the first formula introduced by Kylie when she first started her business. I remember that the website was actually called Kylie Lip Kit or something along these lines and it only later became Kylie Cosmetics. All the matte liquid lipsticks are described as extremely long wearing lipstick that contains moisturising ingredients for a comfortable, emollient and silky feel that does not dry out your lips. Although this formula seems to be the most known and liked from Kylie Cosmetics, I actually like it the least. I hate how drying my lips feel after I apply these lipsticks on and I am not the biggest fan of this formula. I know other brands that do matte liquid lipsticks make their products feel more comfortable to wear on the lips, at least for me, so this type of lipstick from Kylie Cosmetics is a hard pass for me. I know that many people love it, so if it works for you that's good to hear but for me it did not work the best. 

Matte Liquid Lipsticks currently in my collection are: Koko K, Mary Jo K and Candy K.

Below you can find a picture of all the matte lipsticks from Kylie that I owned at one point but either gave these away or had to throw away due to the expiry date:

Velvet Liquid Lipsticks

The Velvet liquid lipsticks are described as high intensity pigment for a full coverage lip. They are long wearing, ultra pigmented containing moisturising ingredients that glide on for a creamy matte look that does not dry down. I would say that these feel way more comfortable to wear on the lips than the mattes, as of course they do not dry down but there is still something about Kylie's liquid lipsticks that I just don't like them. If you are wondering what a velvet formula is like, I would say it's a satin liquid lipstick. So, if you're into satin liquid lipsticks more than matte, you will really enjoy the velvet formula.

Velvet Liquid Lipsticks currently in my collection are: Charm



Creme Liquid Lipsticks


This formula was introduced to us in a collab with Kim Kardashian West, before Kim released KKW Beauty. I remember everyone - including myself - going crazy and wanting to try this formula. Although these lipsticks were introduced by Kim as her perfect nudes, I actually was a bit annoyed to find them be very light on my skin and not very much nude looking. On my skin tone, they looked more pink/orange. The formula also wasn't one that I was a big fan of, as it took many layers of the lipstick to actually get a nice coverage on the lip to show its full pigment. I still have the collab in my collection but I never reach for it because I didn't enjoy this formula as much as I thought I would when ordering.


  

Lip Liners



Kylie's lip liners are described as ultra-long wearing with a creamy texture that glides across the lips for a very easy and comfortable application. I bought many Kylie Lip kits that included the lip liners and now they are also available to purchase separately. I do however think that these lip liners are a bit overpriced, but I do like how they perform on the lips. However, what I dislike the most about these is that once you need to sharpen them, they start to either break down or they start falling out from the inside which can get messy and very annoying. It's all fun until you need to sharpen one and then it just becomes a nightmare to deal with. I think if they were to figure out how to keep it inside better after you sharpen it, these would be more enjoyable to both have and use. It's almost as if the pencil is too wide, so when you sharpen it the product just comes out of it. I never dealt with this problem with other pencils, and I would love to find out if that is something you have also dealt with when it comes to Kylie's lip liners.

Matte & Creme Lipsticks

Glosses

I remember when Kylie first introduced her 3 glosses to us via a music-video campaign that I really loved and I think I still have the song from it stuck in my head lol. Kylie's glosses are described as ultra-pigmented that glide on the lips smoothly and evenly leaving behind a luminous and voluminous effect. Its ingredients provide hydration and moisturise the lips while natural lip enhancers provide volume. I think when it comes to glosses, you just have to be a gloss person to enjoy it. With Kylie's glosses, they are pigmented so you don't necessarily get a clear gloss, but rather a gloss with full pigment on. They did come out with some glitter glosses which had more sparkle than pigment in them, however Kylie's glosses are mostly very pigmented and feel very heavy on the lips. Not heavy to the point that you don't feel comfortable wearing them, but comparing to Kylie's high gloss, you can definitely feel the gloss while you wear it on the lips and I definitely find it feeling heavier on my lips than the high glosses and although at first I loved Kylie's glosses, now I prefer the high glosses. 

Glosses currently in my collection are: Literally, So Cute, Koko K, Candy K and Naughty

High Glosses

For those of you wondering what is the difference between Kylie's normal gloss and high-gloss, now that I tried both of the formulas I can answer that question for you. Firstly, high glosses are smaller than the normal glosses and they come in different finishes. Like previously mentioned, the main glosses had full pigment to them and only a few were glitter glosses. Whereas, high glosses come in different finishes such as pigmented high gloss, shimmer high gloss and sheer high gloss. They don't feel as heavy on the lips as the normal glosses do and for me, they felt more moisturising for my lips to wear. They don't last too long on the lips, especially if you eat and drink but it's a gloss, so you can't really expect it to stay on for a long time. I prefer Kylie's high gloss over her normal glosses because it feels more comfortable to wear, and the shade I went for - Lost Angel - has the most beautiful gold shimmer to it and I just love how it makes the lips look. I would recommend anyone that wants to try out Kylie's gloss to go for the high gloss instead of the normal gloss as you will probably find these more comfortable to wear on the lips.

High Gloss currently in my collection is Lost Angel



Final Thoughts

I thought the best way to summarise my thoughts on all the Kylie Cosmetics lipstick formulas I have tried is to put them in order that I like them. It's hard for me to say which ones I recommend to you the most because when it comes to lipsticks, it has to be your personal preference when picking a formula that will work for you the best. However, if you would like to know what my thoughts are on the formulas, I have put them in order below.

Firstly, my ultimate favourite has to be the High Gloss. It was the latest formula that I have tried from Kylie as it is one of the newest ones, but I love it the most. I love glosses, and this one especially feels so good on the lips, and the shade I went for just has the most beautiful shimmer added to it. I love it. Secondly, I love the lipsticks, especially the creme formula as it is very hydrating for the lips and they are very pigmented. I don't really find the matte lipsticks comfortable to wear, but I do love the shade Nova, and I still put it on from time to time, but I do find the creme formula to suit me more. Next, I would say I like the glosses, although they feel heavier on the lips than the high glosses, I like the fact that they are super pigmented and have a colour pigment added to them.
From the liquid lipsticks, I like the Velvet formula the most as it's not drying and you almost don't feel it when wearing on the lips. Now, I'm not too sure which one I like the least as I personally dislike Kylie's matte liquid lipsticks but the creme liquid lipsticks to me were even more annoying to deal with.This is because firstly, the shades did not look nude on my skin tone at all, and second, it was really hard to get the pigment to show on the lips with one application. When it comes to Kylie's matte liquid lipsticks, I don't think they are bad - they just don't work for me. I think the formula is something people should try for themselves and decide whether or not they like it, as it's the most popular product that is being sold by Kylie Cosmetics.
