KRISTINA REIKO : KYLIE COSMETICS | Metal Matte Liquid Lipsticks Review

I've already done a review on the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits and Glosses, so I wanted to share my thoughts on her Metal Matte Liquid Lipsticks. I bought three of her four colors (Reign, King K, and Heir) but didn't get KyMajesty because I wasn't sure how much I'd really wear it (currently the darkest lipstick I own is her lip kit in Kourt K).

Ordering Process
To read about my past experience ordering from her site check out my previous reviews (Lip Kit & Glosses).
Ordering the Metal Mattes was pretty easy. I feel like the demand for her products is going down and now they stay in stock for hours, when they used to sell out within the hour. Not sure if she's making more or if they are staying in stock longer because now they're being released more frequently and those who have wanted them have already gotten them. Whatever the reason, I had no issue getting mine and they were still in stock when I checked an hour after I placed my order.

Packaging/Formula
The packaging is the exact same as the lipsticks that come in the lip kits. The tubes have the same design and it comes with a doe foot applicator.
The formula of the Metal Mattes is different then the Lip Kit Mattes. They don't dry completely and have a more mousse-like consistency (as described by Kylie Cosmetics). They will transfer, however they are really comfortable to wear and stay on for hours! In my opinion more comfortable and less drying then the lip kits.

Customer Service
One thing about the Metal Mattes is that sometimes you can get ones that don't look like they are filled up all the way... (see pic below). I stood up my lipsticks for a day (so that the liquid inside would have time to fall down towards the bottom) and you can clearly see one has more product inside.

I emailed customer service asking why some were filled up and some had empty space near the top and was told that this is because the formula of the Metal Mattes is more mousse like... I didn't believe this reason though, because regardless of the formula consistency if I had stood them up all day to let the product drain down and they still weren't filled up the same amount obviously it's an issue with them not filling up their product completely. The pic above shows two that weren't filled up completely, the other one I got that's not pictured (King K) didn't have any empty space after being stood up all day. I've seen others also post about their products not coming filled up and all I'm saying is that if I'm buying the exact same product and one is obviously filled up more then the other something is going on...

Wearability
I like the Metal Mattes and they are a lot more wearable then I first thought. They are easy to wear day to day due to the colors being nude, gold, and burgundy toned (not bright, crazy colors), and I was actually surprised how much I liked them. I felt Heir was too light for me, but is good for layering. My favorites were King K and Reign. I think Reign looks really good with True Brown K liner underneath! (See pic below).

Price
The Metal Mattes cost $18 each. They don't come with a lip liner (like the lip kits that cost $29) but if you have a lot of kits it's easy to find a liner that pairs well. I feel that the price is right on target with other high end liquid lipstick rates.

Worth It?
I like the Metal Mattes and I actually wear them more then I thought I would! I like how they feel, especially since I have super dry lips, and I like how they're more unique then normal matte lipsticks. They are also perfect for layering, special occasions, and photos since the metallic feature makes them reflect light and your makeup really stands out! If you're into the whole highlight obsession that is currently going on I feel like you'll really love Metal Matte lipsticks!
