As promised, here is a beauty post of some items I have been using lately thanks to FACCE and have been able to make a full review of the products. What I love about FACCE is that they stock Korean brands at an affordable price that isn’t inflated like those you see in stores in Sydney. They stock all beauty products from skincare to make up.

I needed to use the products over a couple of weeks in order for me to review them in complete honesty and to be honest now, I found all the products refreshing and worked well with my skin. I couldn’t be any more happier with the products I have received to trial and my face is in major need of some skincare revival lately, especially with an outbreak of acne and eczema due to stress and lack of sleep so I’m in damage control in the hopes that my skin will go back to normal by Christmas.

Too Cool For School Milk Tint in Red

This lip gloss is so milky like what the name states. It’s very rich, easy to put on your lips and doesn’t feel too thick or sticky. Most lip glosses that I use tend to be too thick or sticky and my boyfriend hates kissing me on the lips when he sees lip gloss on my lips. This lip tint is a tint where it goes on milky and smooth and dries on your lips in a shiny tint. It also smells absolutely amazing and the packaging is so cute, it comes in a milk carton! How cool is that?!

Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Lip Balm in Peach Melba

I have been using this lip balm on a daily basis. A lot of lip balms that smell divine like this Dinoplatz, however, it doesn’t dry your lips or make your skin so used to the lip balm that your lips would go dry without them after a few days like some lip balms that claim to hold moisture in your lips. The lip balm feels sticky and as much as I don’t like using my finger to apply lip balm, I have made an exception for the Dinoplatz as it was a great alternative to my usual Chapstick. Although the tint of the lip balm didn’t change my lip colour, I was happy with the results.

INNISFREE Capsule Recipe Pack in Canola Honey - Moisture.

Canola honey intensively provides a surge of moisture and nutrition for skin
Gently exfoliates while adding moisture to skin
Enhances moisture retention and soothes irritated skin

My skin has been feeling so irritated lately and I have no idea that honey has great healing properties for the skin. It smelled amazing and although it was sticky to apply and felt so thick after application, my skin felt amazing, soft and smooth after. The capsule does not come with instructions however, FACCE have listed instructions on their website.

How to use: After cleansing, apply appropriate amount on your face and massage lightly. Wash off after 10 minutes with lukewarm water. Each capsule is good for 2 uses. (I was able to use it for 4)

INNISFREE It’s Real Squeeze Mask in Manuka Honey.

Real source mask with New Zealand manuka honey to provide rich moisture. Jeju green complex penetrate deep into skin providing moisture for bright and clear skin. Triple layer sheet provide moisture in mask for long hours, giving essence quick absorption.

I have only ever tried a mask like this once in my life and felt so weird putting it on. When I first took it out of the packet, I did find it a bit hard to unfold but got there without ripping it. I was too scared to talk while I had it on so I was literally quiet over the 20 minutes I had the mask on. I felt no irritation, I could smell the honey and my skin felt moist.

After I cleaned it off, my skin felt moist as stated on the pack and wished I had another to use again in a week’s time. What I love about this mask is that you don’t have to wash it off after!

Kylie Jenner Lip Kits are so popular, it literally breaks the internet every time they restock. Seriously, they once broke Google. And apparently, they broke at least one post office as well. It’s madness, but I assure you the hype is not that overrated because the formula is really great. You can read my Lip Kit by Kylie review.

But Kylie Cosmetics is facing another problem: Fake Kylie Lip Kits are now circulating in some online markets and stores around Asia. Honestly, I already knew this will happen. As someone who lives in Asia, fake products are really common especially when a particular item is massively popular.

It is unfortunate that some people do this, and the worst part, there are online sellers who are claiming that their fake Kylie Lip Kits are real and sell it for the original price or more. Some even show in their eBay pages real Kylie Lip Kits, but when they send it to you, you’ll get the fake lip kit. So it’s time to be safe now and know how to spot a fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kit.

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE KYLIE JENNER LIP KIT?

1. A fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kit cost only around $1- $4, but the price of the original Lip Kit cost $29, unless if you buy it from Lip Kit re-sellers then it will cost a little bit more.

2. The box of a real Kylie Jenner Lip Kit has its item’s shade shown on the top and sides of the box, while the name of the shade is written on the top. The lip photo is a bit higher and the fonts are bolder.

The photos above are the real Lip Kit by Kylie

The photos above are the fake Kylie Lip Kits

While some boxes are really trying to copy the original boxes, some fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kits are packaged in slim boxes.

The photos above are fake Lip Kits as well

Take note that all original matte Kylie lip kits are packaged in a rectangular box and comes with a lip liner. Only the metallic mattes and glosses are packaged in slim boxes and does not sold with a lip liner. Some fakes are also called “Kylie Lip Cream” instead of Kylie Lip Kit.

3. The box where the lip kits are packaged when the company send it to you are square. Not rectangular like those show in the top-left photo. Although the company recently changed the box design (and I’m sure they will change it again in the future) because some are getting stolen, presumably by the couriers, but they are always square like this, so far.

4. The Kylie Lip Kit’s bottle has a clear white cap (stopper) on the opening, not a pure white unlike on the photo above. The real Lip Kit’s opening look like this:

HOW TO SPOT A FAKE KYLIE JENNER LIP KIT? AND WHERE NOT TO BUY THEM

5. I have nothing against on buying from online re-sellers, after all, it’s really hard to buy it on Kylie Cosmetics especially if you live in a country where the restock happens while you’re asleep,

or the internet networks in your country really sucks. If you choose to buy it from online re-sellers, make sure you trust them. If it is your first time purchasing from them, then ask for the order number and look for their previous customers’ feedback. If you’re from the Philippines, Hong Kong or Macau, you can buy from thesetrusted re-sellers that I personally know and had a transaction with at least once. If you’re from the US, UK or anywhere else, try this online re-seller that ships worldwide.

6. The fake Kylie Lip Kit kinda improved, at least on the packaging. They now comes with a black box with a silver “KYLIE” label on the top and inside. And they also have a business card size copy of Kylie’s letter. Look…

The lip kits showed above are FAKE. In the Philippines, they cost around Php150-500 (roughly US$3-11) and they are called “Singapore Authentic” and does not sold with a lip liner. When you’re going to buy from re-sellers make sure they are made from LA, as labeled on the original Kylie Jenner Lip Kits.

THIS IS WHAT THE NEW KYLIE COSMETIC BOX LOOK LIKE AS OF JUNE 2016…

The latest box of Kylie Cosmetics is plain black, no design whatsoever on the outside, not even a silver “KYLIE” but the inside has the usual silver KYLIE but now it has white dripping graphic on it. And the website, as always, is typed on the top. The original Kylie Cosmetic box is also bulkier, unlike the fakes that are slim. Lastly, look at the difference on Kylie Jenner’s letter that comes in every orders. The original are postcard size, while the fakes are business card size.

AND HERE’S THE ACTUAL SIZE OF THE LETTER…

The original Kylie Jenner Lip Kit letters are bigger, like postcard size. And the other side has a lip photo with chrome teeth, just like on the original packaging of the lip kits.

UPDATE JUNE 17, 2016

Fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kits improved so much since my update just last week. A person I know (who provided these photos) bought a Candy K Lip Kit from a re-seller in Macau for personal use and she discovered it was fake. The re-seller, who shall not be named, claimed they didn’t know their lip kits were fake because they claimed to bought it from Amazon. They refuse to give a refund, instead they offered to give a discount on the next purchase. But the person I knew refused, because she won’t buy another fake lip kit even though it is “discounted”.
(Disclosure: Kylie Cosmetic Hong Kong sells authentic Kylie Lip Kits ordered from KylieCosmetics.com ONLY every restock and will never ever sell you fake items. They are also committed to inform you how to spot fake Kylie Jenner lip kits.)
7. Fake Kylie Lip Kits are now sold with lip liners and the same box, but original boxes’ prints are brighter. Look at the fake Candy K, it’s kinda pale.
8. Lip Liners that are sold with the fake Kylie Lip Kits are bigger and paler shade than the original and has a different cap as well.
9. Even Kylie fake lip kits have a seal on the bottom like the original lip kits, but they don’t even bother too stick it on the center. Plus, the fonts of the fake Kylie lip kit seals are smaller than the original.
10. Fake Kylie lip kit’s cap are smaller than the original, and the edges are more solid as well.
So far these are the difference I could gather between the real and the fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kit. I haven’t tried any fake lip kits yet, and I hope I won’t but I’m very sure the formula is different.
UPDATE JUNE 24, 2016
You asked for it so here it is. A comparison of the REAL and FAKE Kylie Lip Kits swatches.
REAL KYLIE MATTE LIP KITS SWATCH
AND THIS IS THE FAKE KYLIE LIP KIT SWATCH…
At first look they look the same but the King K, Reign, Heir, Kourt, Candy, and Mary Jo looks a bit different. While there is no “Like K” at all, but there is “Like: and it’s a gloss, not matte as stated on the fake Kylie lip kit swatch.
On Kylie Cosmetics’ July 1st restock they started selling their lip liner and liquid matte lipstick separately. But as of the moment, only two shades: Candy K and Mary Jo K. I like it, but I wish they changed the box or tweaked the design, because fakes are packaged with the same box design. So if someone is selling you a solo Kylie liquid matte lipsticks that isn’t Candy K or Mary Jo K then it’s fake. Besides those, the bottles are the same so just check the look of the original bottle above to know if you have the fake kylie lip kit or not.

THE LAST ADVICE I COULD GIVE YOU IS…
1) DO NOT TO BUY IT FROM eBay retailers (unless you already experienced purchasing from them and you completely trust them) because you can never be sure from them. Sometimes they will show a real item on their page, but they will send a fake item instead.
2) NEVER buy from Chinese e-commerce sites as well, like DHgate where I personally found several fake Kylie Jenner Lip Kit.
3) If you want to buy from re-sellers, ask for order number if they cannot provide it, don’t bother. Or check their former customers. Also when they say their Kylie Lip Kits are “SG Authentic” then it is surely fake because Kylie Lip Kits are made and manufactured in Los Angeles, California in USA.
4) If the deal is too good to be true, like the re-sellers are selling it for less than the original price, then it is surely FAKE.
5) If you want to buy fake for the sake of showing that you’re using a Kylie Lip Kit then read this article from Buzzfeed about things scientists found on knockoff cosmetics and it might completely change your mind. If you are desperate for a Kylie Lip Kit but doesn’t want to pay higher on legitimate re-sellers, I recommend buying dupes from ColourPop instead of buying fakes. After all, they’re the same formula *wink, wink*
