As major influences within the beauty and fashion industry, it seemed only fitting that the Kardashian sisters would launch their own range of make-up! The collection is based on the three different girls, and their own personal style. It is said that they wanted to mirror some of their favourite beauty products and re-create them for the brand, which means cheaper dupes of some of the hottest beauty products around (yay for us!).
For this post, I've decided to review their range of lipsticks, aptly named 'joysticks' :)
I was lucky enough to get my hands on all of the shades above in CVS Pharmacy while I was travelling in the States before Christmas, as they are proving difficult to get here in Ireland. However, I have spotted them since in some pharmacies, so keep an eye out! They were priced around $9 in the U.S. so quite reasonable for a lippy!
REVIEW:
Packaging: ***** 5 Stars
I love how the joysticks are slim enough to fit into the inside zip pocket on my handbag, or even in my purse without being overly bulky. The lid stays put even with travel, which is a plus too because I find on some lipsticks the lids can come loose, and then stain my bag! The colour is clearly marked on the bottom, so you know exactly what shade to reach for when you need it :)
Price: ***** 5 Stars
At $9 a pop, I feel like you get a lot of bang for your buck! There seems to be tons of product fitted into the slim packaging, which means it will last for quite some time.
Product: ***** 5 Stars
The lipsticks are cleverly pointed, for easy application on the go which eliminates the need for carrying a lip liner with you everywhere you go. That is a plus for me, as I am always looking to downsize my carry around make-up! They are heavily pigmented, which is something I was worried about before trying them. The colour on the packaging is definitely relative to the actual product, so a thumbs up there. They also smell amazing (like chocolate) , and as an avid fan of MAC's vanilla scented lippies, I like this little added touch.
Availability: *** 3 Stars
At the moment in Ireland, these are proving difficult to get your hands on, which is my only criticism of the entire product, but hopefully over the next few months we will start to see it in-stores more as it is becoming a staple in my make-up bag!
'Retro Red'
'Sea Coral'
'Shocking Pink'
