Kylie Cosmetics "Dancer" Metal Matte Lipstick {Review}

via this post

The Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Collection first caught my eye on Kylie's Snapchat- and when I say caught my eye, I mean that I literally became obsessed with all the products from the upcoming line. The line launched last Monday and sold out in a matter of hours.

Before everything was gone, I was able to grab one of my favorite colors from the Holiday line.  "Dancer" is a metallic matte lipstick in a deep berry red hue with metallic sparkle.  It came in a Kylie lipstick ornament. 

So, the review.  In short, I'm loving it so far.  

Color  This lipstick is very pigmented.  The color is pretty true to how it looks on kyliecosmetics.com.  It's a rich berry red with a gorgeous metallic sparkle to it.  Obviously I have a pretty light skintone (I'm Asian and European for reference) but I think this would look absolutely gorgeous on darker skintones as well.  

Formula  This goes on very smoothly and has a great texture.  It doesn't feel heavy or sticky.  This one claims to keep your lips moisturized, but I didn't notice any moisturizing effect.  I've never found a longwear or matte lipstick that provides any moisturizing affect, but at least this one doesn't dry out the lips either.  It's a pretty great formula.  And as an added bonus, it smells nice, almost like a vanilla scent.  

Packaging  I loved the way this was packaged.  The black Kylie Cosmetics box it was shipped it was chic and it came with a gorgeous note.  The lipstick itself was inside an ornament (which now hangs on my Christmas tree).  I like the glass tube and the pretty design on it, and the wand is great. 

Versatility and Wearability  I would wear this with both a formal/cocktail outfit like these photos or with something more casual like a sweater and jeans.  Either way, the color is a nice shift if you usually wear red lipstick.

Shopping Experience  Checkout on the website was quick and easy.  Since I live in California (which is where Kylie Cosmetics is based and ships from), my product arrived in just 2 days.

 Hope you enjoyed this review!  I'm definitely going to be purchasing again from Kylie Cosmetics.  Let me know if this review was helpful and if you'd like to see more beauty reviews!
