It’s official: Kylie Cosmetics has reigned supreme as the top beauty brand of 2017. From her “kylighters” to her “kyshadows,” Kylie Jenner’s fan-favorite beauty brand has beauty addicts all over the world obsessing over her products. One of her products that really takes the cake is their world-renowned lip kits, which is the crown jewel of the Kylie Cosmetics brand. These lip kits are super light, matte, and long lasting. The colors are so vibrant and pigmented, and the formula of the liquid lipsticks is so light and hydrating, you’ll never want to take it off!
This holiday season, Kylie Cosmetics launched a limited edition lip kit in a new festive bright red, called “Red Velvet.” The lip kit includes a liquid lipstick and lip liner in the same vibrant red color, and it’s already a huge winner in the beauty world. But, if you want this lip kit, you’re a little too late, because it’s already sold out. Kylie Cosmetics did announce a restock, but who wants to deal with waiting around the computer all day while crossing fingers in hopes of getting a $27 lip kit before their site crashes? Yeah, we’ll pass on that. Instead, opt out for one of these dupes. They’re bargain-friendly, and you’ll still have that holiday mistletoe red lip color without waiting for hours online and shelling out big bucks for one tube of liquid lipstick and a lip liner. So, get your beauty bargaining on with these top-notch Kylie Cosmetics holiday lip kit dupes!
If you want a more matted cherry red lip, then this ColourPop liquid lipstick is perfect for you. This lipstick, which was co-created by beauty vlogger iluvsarahii, has a lightweight, matted formula that lasts all day long, and the shade is nearly identical to Kyle Cosmetic’s holiday shade. And you should expect this (and any other ColourPop cosmetic product) to be at least just as great as any Kylie Cosmetics product for one major reason: Kylie Cosmetics is owned by ColourPop’s parent company, Seed Beauty. They both use very similar formulas, which Kylie Cosmetics has gone under fire for in the past, so why pay triple the price for Kylie’s name when you can get the same exact shade and nearly identical formula for a fraction of the price?
Similarly to Kylie Cosmetics’ Red Velvet lip kit, this vibrant and sexy universal red color looks great on any skin tone. Wet n’ Wild has always been a huge favorite of ours, and they never seem to disappoint us with their top of the line products at such low prices. Their MegLast Liquid Catsuit Lipstick has a satin finish that’s very similar to that of Kylie Cosmetics’ holiday lip kit, and the color is total eye candy. We’re definitely adding this liquid lipstick to our holiday beauty bags!
Milani Matte Lip Crème in Amore ($7.99)
The Milani Matte Lip Crème has been making a major buzz in the beauty world for it’s long lasting, smudge-proof formula. It comes in a variety of shades that are perfect for just about any occasion, but the Amore shade is definitely our top pick. This shade is just as bright and fun as the Kylie Cosmetics holiday shade, and it’s less than half of the price! Milani’s lightweight formula and bright tones nearly mimic Kylie Cosmetics’ holiday shades perfectly, no one will ever notice the difference.
