(Above are the swatches of lip color that put ColourPop in comparison to Kylie's Lip Kit)
Go with ColourPop, it's just been proven the same lab that Kylie Jenner uses, is Spatz Laboratories, which also makes ColourPop. Point is: The new formulated formula by Kylie Jenner, is watered down. ColourPop's formula is the original formula. Don't spend $40 for one product, when you can pay $43 for 4 lip kits from ColourPop.
My Main FB Post RE: Kylie Jenner Lip Kits
Okay so a lot of you have seen my recent posts about Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit. My job is to bring beauty news to the public. I'm updating you on the latest trends, flops, and so fourth in regards to makeup and fashion.
Last night before I went to bed, I was alerted to the breaking news that this product, that at one point sold out in a day, was actually a watered down version of ColourPop's products. What is ColourPop? It's a brand that is manufactured in our lovely city of Oxnard at Spatz Laboratories. They have a great selection of makeup at a much cheaper price. I personally ordered the comparable lip products. The price was $11 for two things, a matte lip color and matching lip pencil. I ordered what amounts to 4 "lip kits" and only paid $47 with tax and shipping included.
The beauty blogger, Stephanie Nicole, actually tried both products and compared the ingredients. They were exactly the same!!! This is a blogger who is a makeup enthusiast and she's been one online for a while now. She even has a youtube channel. However, now that they are in mass production, Kylie's version is now thinner (watered down) than the original product. At this point, ColourPop's version is better quality for a much better price.
So what exactly is happening with the money difference in price? It's not being applied towards product development or better ingredients. It's estimated the difference of $19/kit is going directly into Kylie Jenner's bank account. The consumer is pretty much paying $19 more for a 18 year old's name on their product.
Am I wrong for reporting this? No. People should be informed. Her target audience is around her age. So if you are or know of a beauty enthusiast who has been waiting for Kylie products, stop waiting and just go to ColourPop.
Since this report, news has been catching on in the last 24 hrs. My projection is that sales will begin to fall and that either the Jenner chick will be forced to stop production or relocate to another "lab". Nobody should pay $40 for lip color. It's just ridiculous. I recommend sharing this post with your FB friends to detour sales. However, if people insist on paying so much for this stuff, by all means. Just don't bitch about it later.
