Ever since Kylie Jenner released her cosmetics line I told myself not to get anything. It always seemed so much hassle; being from the UK it’s just too difficult and too much fuss. I very nearly didn’t make this order when I saw the price of shipping, as $14.95 with added customs is a lot. I finally took the plunge.
So we’re going to be doing a Kylie Cosmetics Haul and Swatches!
Customs
I paid a lot of money for this, and I kind of don’t want to work out how much. Unfortunately for me, I got this a few days before the collab with Kim was announced. I think I would have gone for that instead if it was available. Even if I love these products I won’t be rushing to buy anymore, as my £21.23 customs charge has put me right off.
When I placed my order there was an offer running; if you spent so much then you could pick some products for free. I picked three things, and I’ll include them at the end of this post.
Let’s get into the Kylie Cosmetics haul and Swatches.
Velvet Lip Kit | Harmony
I much prefer Velvet formulas, so I of course had to try these out. Harmony is described as a warm mid toned pink. I’m excited to give this a go, as it shouldn’t settle into lines or dry down to a matte finish, so we’ll see how I get on with these.
Velvet Lip Kit | Dazzle
Dazzle is described as a warm terracotta which seems to be the colour I’m reaching for the most just recently, so this should be a great addition to my collection!
Highlighter | Cotton Candy Cream
When Kylie first launched her makeup line, I told myself I would probably make the effort to buy something if she released highlighters, so here we are. I love the packaging and how it is the same colour as the highlight its self. I also love the melted design on the highlighter. Cotton Candy Cream is described as a soft light peach.
This was incredibly hard to swatch, and I still don’t think you can see it. Just know that this is built up.
Gloss | Exposed
I’ll admit that I don’t tend to reach for a gloss, but this shade looks beautiful. If I had to create my perfect lipstick then I’m pretty sure it would be this colour. It’s described as a warm mid toned beige, and I really looking forward to trying it. I will admit that I’m not a big fan of the applicator, as I’ve only opened it once and it’s already frayed.
Lip Liner | Kourt K
I love seeing these kind of shades, but I’ll admit that I don’t reach for them a lot. This is one of the items I got for free, and I thought it would pair well with my MAC lipstick in the shade Rebel. Kourt K is a deep purple, so I think this will be put away until autumn.
Lip Liner | Ginger
I have been seeing this shade all over Instagram, and I knew I wanted to try it. In the end I decided to go with the lip liner, and I am looking forward to giving it a go. It is described as a warm terracotta brown, and I just know that I will get a lot of wear out of it.
So that was my Kylie Cosmetics Haul and Swatches.
Thank you for reading!
I want to try the velvet kits I can see why you bought them both its hard to pick! I’ve bought from Kylie Cosmetics a couple of times and the customs charge is soo bad!! I wish I’d got one of her highlighters xx polishedcouture.com
They seem to be really good, and I think she’s bringing some new colours out soon! They’re so hard to choose between! The customs is really bad, it’s so much money xx
Those nude lipstick looks so great! I really want to try some products from Kylie Cosmetics xxx

Her products always look really good, so I’m excited to try these out! Hope you manage to get your hands on some soon xx
I’ve never tried anything from Kylie, but the lip products do look pretty nice. I’ve heard that the highlighters and blushes are tough to get pigment out of because of how tightly they’re pressed.
She does some gorgeous colours! That’s true, this highlight was incredibly hard to swatch xx
Ahhh can’t believe how much that cost I am too tight!! I don’t think I’ll ever buy anything from Kylie Cosmetics, plus in my opinion the highlighters are shitty 🙁 xx
Your photography on point as always!
It costs waaay too much, I practically cried when the customs card came! Don’t blame you in a way, it seems like people either love them or hate them. Yeah, I was extremely disappointed by how hard this one was to swatch. Thank you lovely xx
i ordered from kylie cosmetics back in november and it really didn’t work for me. the colours are nice and the pigmentation is lovely but the ones i have are a pain to take off. its just horrid and leaves my lips feeling dead.
❤︎
Ah that sounds awful, I hate it when lipstick is a pain to take off. Lasting power is good, but it should come off when you want it to! Definitely don’t want anything that’s going to leave your lips feeling dead either xx
Such lovely colours, the customs cost is crazy though! x

They really are pretty colours! Yeah, the price is insane!xx
You got great pictures! I want to try the lip kits but customs are so expensive I don’t even know if it is worth it haha. Hopefully she’ll start selling in stores and it can be available in Selfridges or Debenhams!

Thank you! It would be so much better if she got her products stocked in a store over here, or do what Anastasia Beverly Hills does and have a UK website xx
OMG I absolutely love these shades! I’ve never tried any Kylie Cosmetics as I fear that falling in love with them will make me bankrupt! Customs charges are a pain in the bum, but we just can’t resist can we?!
haha that is a good reason to stay away! Customs are the worst, but that is so true!xx
I’d love to give some of her glosses a go, but the cost of customs seems so ridiculous!xx

The customs are a little crazy!xx
These are such beautiful shades! I’m not a fan of the Kardashians, so I’ve never looked at the cosmetics. I’ve heard such mixed reviews about them too. Saying that, I do like the colours here. I think I’s still be put off by the customs and delivery charges though. Xx

They really are! Yeah, some people seem to love them and others seem to love them. Customs and delivery is a little too crazy and I don’t think I’ll be buying anything again xx
I only own one of the original Matte lip kits, but the velvet ones sound so appealing! Ginger is also a beautiful shade, so unique! I would definitely have tried out the highlighters, but I just think sadly the packaging puts me off a little just because I know how much customs and posting can be! xx
How do you find the matte ones? It really looks it. Yeah, the delivery and customs is just way too much xx
SO jealous, I’ve been meaning to haul some Kylie Cosmetics bits for a while but just haven’t got round to it. I didn’t know that the Kourt K liquid lip is supposed to be bad – thanks for letting me know! x
Lots of love,

Some of her products look so good! Hope you get around to it! Yeah, I swear I heard some bad reviews that it’s streaky because of the dark colour; no problem! Thank you for reading!xx
Dazzle is such a beautiful shade! Right up my alley
It’s such a stunning colour xx
I’ve wanted to try Kylies products for the longest time now but the large fees have always put me off! Think I might have to make an order soon though. X
The price for shipping and customs is a lot! Hope you manage to get something xx
Dazzle looks like such a pretty shade, I haven’t tried any of Kylie products though as I have heard mixed reviews about them and thought they are slightly overpriced.
Dazzle is such a lovely one! People seem to love them, but others seem to hate them! There is no in between haha!xx
All her products look stunning to me, I think the packaging and the shades are gorgeous but that customs fee nuh-uh not here for that haha. Great photos! Xxx

They really do look stunning. Yeah, the customs are waaaaay too much! Thank you lovely xx
I really want to try Kylies products, the highlighter’s packaging looks amazing!
She has some lovely ones!xx
OUCH! That custom charge. That’s the main reason why I haven’t tried to purchase anything from the range. Saying that, the Kourt lip liner color looks amazing!

It’s so much isn’t it?! I nearly cried haha! It really does seem like a pretty colour xx
The ginger lipliner is so lovely and a shade I will definitely be looking for in the high street. I love the sound of these lipsticks but I hate the Kardashians so I can’t really justify getting any of their products haha xxxx

Ginger is such a gorgeous colour, and that’s a good idea!xx
How did the highlighters perform on the skin? I love the look of them but am worried they’re over hyped X
Amy –
I’ve had a go of it, and it’s okay. It’s not blinding, but if you like subtle highlights then you should love it! I wouldn’t rush to buy more xx
I didn’t want to like these products because Kylie Jenner pisses me off a little but these products look so nice haha. I love the lip colours! You have a lovely little blog here by the way, well done on all your hard work with it! x

Hi
How long did it take for you items to arrive from the day you purchased them? I ordered 2 weeks ago and they haven’t been shipped yet, is this normal?
Hiya! Mine took a while to come too, I can’t remember exactly how long, but it was a while. I’ve heard a lot of people who have ordered recently complaining about how long it’s taken. They must be struggling with all of the orders xx
