Review: Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in Posie K
I'm trying to knock the laziness out of this blogger body of mine. I decided that I will do that by conducting a series of reviews about the lipsticks in my collection. :) I just find that I am more enthusiastic when it comes to lipsticks.
So here's a long-overdue review of Kylie Jenner's Matte Liquid Lipstick in Posie K. I bought this early last year and honestly it's almost gone. This is a mini so there's very little product in it so I've been trying to use it sparingly. Kylie's products are very popular, they basically need no introduction.
Will I want to purchase a full-sized version of it? Find out at the end of this review.
Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick
Shade: Posie K
Price: $17.00 USD or roughly 900.00 Philippine Peso
Where To Buy: www.kyliecosmetics.com
"The Matte Liquid Lipstick has high intensity pigment for an instant bold matte lip. The extremely long wearing lipstick contains moisturizing ingredients for a comfortable, emollient and silky feel that does not dry your lips out."- www.kyliecosmetics.com
Packaging
I've always wanted to try out Kylie's popular liquid lipsticks, especially Posie K but I wasn't ready to shell out such big cash. Luckily, I found an Instagram seller who sold a mini. This one, judging from its magenta cap, was part of the Valentine's Collection. Per usual, a full-sized liquid lipstick comes in a tube with a black cap. I don't know if the mini's packaging is made with the same material with the full-sized one but the packaging does not feel very lux for me. The labels don't fade though, no matter how long I've used it so I'll give it to them.

Posie K is described as a cool mid-tone berry shade. Here's a swatch of it under natural lighting. To my eyes, it looks like a dusty mauve-pink.

Really love this shade on me.

My Take
According to the Kylie Cosmetics website, this particular shade is the "Winner of the 2017 Allure Magazine Best of Beauty Award for Best Bright Pink Lipstick" and that should count for something. Although in my opinion this isn't a bright pink, this is definitely a lovely pink - my kind of pink. It doesn't scream "look at me" but it enhances my overall look as a wearer and although you won't be asking for it, it's bound to bring in some compliments. ;)
Now, on to the nitty-gritties.
I'm the type of cosmetics user who takes time to sniff everything that I put on my face. Raise your hands if you are just like me. This product's smells really good - like candy. It fades away after application. It has a creamy formula that applies with slight tug on the lips but looks smooth. Take note: in my observation, it dries pretty quickly so there's not much time for swiping the applicator all over your lips. It sets to a powdery matte finish. I'll have to admit that there's a slight bit of discomfort while wearing it; like there's a feeling of tightness. It doesn't transfer.
It has good pigmentation and will stay put and the color will stay vibrant even up to five hours if you don't eat or drink. At least that's the longest that I've tried. With a full meal though, especially oily Filipino food, it fades, especially on the inner part of the lip. But you know what, this is probably one of the lipsticks out there that looks good to me even after a meal. That is because it leaves a pink stain. There was even a time when I decided not to touch up my lips after having a meal and the stain still looked good even at the end of the day.
Will I want to buy the full sized version?
You know what they say about finding a shade that looks good on you and sticking with it? Well, I may have found I favorite pink in Posie K. But the thing is, it really could break your budget and I know many women share the same sentiments, especially the working mamas out there. So now that I have found the pink that works for me, the goal has been to find the dupe and I am glad to report that there are plenty of dupes of this shade. Kylie Cosmetics is manufactured by the same company that makes Colourpop Cosmetics and there's a bevy of shades that come close to Posie K. Even our local Vice Cosmetics has a pink that falls under the dusty-mauve-pink shade and I have been eyeing it for a while now. So I'll lay it down here clearly, if I have the cash to spare, I really would love to stock up on this lovely shade but as it turns out I have other spending priorities so I'll stick with the affordable dupes for the mean time. We are lucky that we live in a time when cosmetic companies have really upped the quality of their products and with that cheaper products doesn't mean low quality. Y'know what I'm sayin'?

PS. I'm in the mood to add two products that seem to work well with the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick.
So I don't own the accompanying Kylie Cosmetics Lip Liner which would have made the Lip Kit. Good thing a friend gave me this lip liner from Blair Cosmetics in the shade Sian. The shade is just a few tones brighter than the Posie K but it help in defining the lips. It applies with a tug and leaves a powdery matte finish on the lips. I've paired these two on several occasions and it brightens up the Posie K.
On the other hand, I also love pairing this Benefit Hoola Lip Gloss with the Posie K, especially at the end of the day when I'm left with just a hint of the product on my lips. Instead of touching up with another layer of the liquid lipstick, I put this lip gloss on top and I'm instantly prettified. My lips feel ultra plush when I'm wearing this. I also love the light scent.
