Review: Posie K by Kylie Jenner

OK I know this is way overdue and everyone and their freaking dog has done a review for Kylie's lip kit but I must say. I was really intrigued seeing as everyone has been raving over it so much! I like the color and I like the longevity of it but I do have one complaint. OK maybe two. But hey, its Julia, master complainer.

The color swatches I see online and even the colors posted on Kylie's website herself look completely different to the product I received. You see, this is Posie K on Kylie's site.

 So I of course thought this was going to be a pretty pink! And posies look like this, for reference (because I didn't know):

I mean I thought she named the color after the flower, no? Anyway, so I get the product and it looks a lot darker than I thought it would be. I also got Dolce K but it seemed too brown I didn't even bother! So here's Posie K on me:


I wanted the color to be a brighter pink rather than this kind of dusty pink on me. And.... here's the color on someone else!

From Laura Lee's blog 

I do like the color and of course, as it's matte it's pretty drying. Like, if your lips are super hydrated beforehand it can look like you applied acrylic paint haha. I want to try Candy k or maybe even Koko K next.

Have you gotten a kylie product? What did you think?

Today: Haul (!!!!!!!?!?!)

OK guys, I've been on a lipstick craze lately and I think it's time I cool it down but before I did, I purchased 4 new lip products (though one of them is shipping and will be here in a week or so!)

I took a leap of faith, everyone, and I purchased Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks (Matte collection). This is the first drugstore (high street) make-up purchase in my entire life. That sounds snobby I guess, but I grew up in a strange environment. My first make-up products were Laura Mercier. Go figure.

Anyway, so I purchased two lipsticks! And guys, here in the US we have TEN matte shades, not five. They are really pretty and I hope the UK and elsewhere get them! I'm definitely buying more colors. 

 Left is #103, and right is #107. They are both from the matte line. 

 I also bought Bobbi Brown lipgloss in Bellini. Its so pretty over other colors, I can't wait to play around with it! The Kate Moss lipsticks come in bright red casing with her signature on it (as you can see). Not a huge fan of black and red together like that (reminds me of bad proms?) but I can get over it because they are easy to find and the lipsticks are so awesome on. They cost $5.49 each, and the Bobbi Brown lipgloss was $24.00

The first thing I noticed after putting on the Rimmel #103 was that, though matte, it was surprisingly moisturizing. My lips always go super dry when I put many lipsticks, so that was a pleasant surprise. The color also looked darker on my lips than I anticipated.

The photo was taken in afternoon natural lighting through an open window. Also, if anyone noticed, yes, I got my hair cut and I hate it and wish it never had happened.

This is Bellini over #103. It lightens it up and makes it more springy! 

Natural Lips as a reference 

 #107 is quite dark. It's the color Moss is wearing in the photograph for the campaign (x) I think the photograph for the lipstick has been darkened a bit because I don't see anyone with the lipstick looking that kind of oxblood dark red. But it is gorgeous nonetheless. I think this will go great for nights out, or could work for daytime with a little mascara and no eyeshadow. 

 I also have to confess that I visited Aritzia today. I've been in a craze all week because my favorite bra went missing (I know, who am I) and I was worried it would be gone forever. I had gotten it on sale at this store, but couldn't see anything similar on their website (that's not a sponsored link, actually like none of my links have been sponsored links). So I called them and described it and guess what. They had it in different colors. 

It's the best ever because it's kind of dressed up sporty. It has a detachable halter strap and really cute detail on the front. It looks adorable under sundresses, slouchy shirts, sweatshirts, etc. etc. Basically everything. 

I bought two just in case. And I'll be going back periodically because I think they have such cute clothes and I want this bra in basically every color! 

Also, UPDATE: I contacted Rimmel and they informed me that Apocalips are not sold in the US and they have no plans on doing so!! So if ANY BRITISH BLOGGERS want a cheap thing from the US like cereal or hand sanitizer or a similar lipstick, let me know?? And we can do an exchange or I can send money. PLEASE. SOMEONE.

That's all! Anyone have any plans to buy stuff this week?
