Beware of Fake Kylie Birthday Edition Mini Matte Liquid Lipsticks

These are the fake Birthday Edition Kylie Mini Matte Liquid Lipsticks we got from Amazon

They were also sold for $36 in Amazon and we thought it was authentic because it was Sold & Fulfilled by Amazon. But after reading the reviews, we returned them and got a refund.

Comparing the shades of the real and fake Kylie Lipsticks both in the shade of Kristen. On the left is the real KJ Kristen and on the right is the fake mini in Kristen. You can see the fake one is more reddish and it took longer (a lot longer) to dry. The smell is also different. The fake one smells more chocolatey whille the original smells like vanilla.

This is another set of fake mini matte liquid lipsticks from Japan. Here you can see that Dolce K was misspelled as DolceKK.

Swatch of the fakes from Japan. It looks less pigmented than the original ones and again the smell is different.

There are a lot of fakes being sold everywhere even for the full size products. What's alarming is that there are people having allergic reactions to the fake ones because they contain ingredients like glue and Gasoline!!! They are being sold for way cheaper prices than the original so if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

You can buy real ones at KylieCosmetics.com or at their recently opened pop up shop at Westfield Topanga (6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd.) in Canoga Park, CA. You can also buy from local sellers as long as you check the reviews.

Kylie Holiday Edition Mini Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatch

Holiday Edition Kylie Matte Liquid Lipstick

It costs $36 at KylieCosmetics.com. Including tax and shipping fee within the US, it would cost around $48 so around PHP2400 for 6 mini matte liquid lipstick. The Kylie Matte Lipkit costs $29 and is being sold here in the Philippines for PHP2000-2500. I bought the Mini Matte Liquid Lipstick for PHP2500 at Shopee so it's pretty much a good deal seeing some sell it for as much as PHP4500. Some sell them individually for PHP600-700. I haven't seen any fake versions of this as of the moment. I can't say the same for the Birthday Edition though.

Anyway, I bought this to try multiple shades for the price of one. I wasn't so lucky in purchasing the Birthday Edition because they sold out in minutes but the Holiday Edition came and I was able to get one from a local seller.

These are the shades included in the set. There are 3 new shades here namely Moon, Angel and Vixen.

Size Comparison

It's mini alright.

Swatch

I already tried Ginger and Kristen and I'm already excited to try the rest.

Fake Birthday Edition Kylie Mini Matte Liquid Lipstick

Kape ATBP.

Kape atbp. is a relatively new place in town near Petron Gas Station at Poblacion, Hagonoy Bulacan.

It has a nice ambiance with that coffee place feel (duh kape atbp.?)

MENU

GROUP MEALS

So we tried out a couple of their dishes and drinks

Spicy Spanish Sardine Pasta PHP98

Is okay.. my aunt and sister doesn't like the smell but it tastes okay.

Carbonara PHP98

Is a bit salty for me.

Choco Nutella Waffle PHP 88

Looks really yummy but tastes meh.. it has a lemony (detergent)? aftertaste.

Taco Quesadilla PHP88

Is good and crisp. Mayo is too sweet.

Buffalo Chicken Wings PHP108

Probably the most sulit meal here. 4pcs of wings with rice. It's good but I still prefer Frankies!

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings PHP108

Is like fried chicken sprinkled with Parmesan.

Chocolate Smores PHP108

Is too sweet

Sea Salt Macchiato PHP108

Is their best seller. Taste pretty much like Starbucks' toffeenut drink

Ice Blended Matcha Green Tea PHP108

Is okay

Hot Matcha Green Tea PHP98

Is okay

I like the ambience. There's nothing really special about the food or the drinks. Serving took too much time! We ordered the Quesadilla on our first order but our take out order was even served first before the Quesadilla and everything else took too much time to be served so don't come here if you're really hungry.

BDJ Box Elite December 2016 Unboxing: Celeteque Exclusive

This is probably the best BDJ Box I've ever received after the Pink Sugar exclusive box. I wasn't planning on buying anymore BDJ Boxes but when I saw it's most certainly an exclusive box from Celeteque I purchased myself a box as my birthday/Christmas present. And I have never been more right.

It comes with 15! full size products from Celeteque. From CELETEQUE!!! Celeteque is my go to skin care when things go wrong from the products I try. What I usually look for cosmetics is the infusion of skin care that's why I really like korean products. And now Celeteque has just introduced new products for their DermoCosmetics line.

Here's a summary of the products you can find in the box:

Skin Care

Cleansing Oil PhP 249 (50 ml)

Cleansing oils are good for removing make up before using cleansers specially with hard to remove lipsticks and eyeliners. Compared to other cleansing oils, this one is quite pricey for the size. The packaging is not very user friendly. It would have been nice if the bottle comes with a pump.

Hydration Hydrolyzed Moisturizing Mist P150 (50mL)

Moisturizing mist is good for people with dry skin. Just like the ones you see in korean novelas when the weather is too cold and drying for the face. It's always a good practice to moisturize your skin.

Cosmetics

Face

24-Hour Photoready Matte Primer P825 (15g)

I like using primers to keep my make up intact all day. Think of wall paint or car paint primers. This primer is very promising. It has no scent and feels velvety to touch. Plus you get an ample amount for the price.

This comes in 3 shades and I got the shade Classic Natural

CC Micro-Hydrating Powder P930 (10g) Classic Natural

This is one bulky powder which probably won't fit in my kikay kit. I wonder how it differs from their pressed foundation (that one doesn't last long before I oil up).

Lips & Cheeks

I was really excited with this one because I get to try all the shades but I was quite disappointed when I saw the size.I honestly wouldn't buy them for PHP545 each.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream side to side for comparison. Note that NYX only costs around PHP300 (at online shops).

This has a sweet scent but not as strong as the Lip&Cheek Duo

Ultra-Nourishing Lip Lacquer P545 (1.6mL)  x 3 shades Natural Nude/Soft Pink/Velvet Red (top swatch)

Also I didn't quite expect how glossy they would be. Well they are really glossy and not pigmented. Actually I think it's a gloss. I don't know whatever.

This has a very strong sweet scent

Moisturizing Lip and Cheek Duo P665 (1.6mL) x 2 shades Rosy Blush/Soft Berry

This one has better pigmentation but again, I wouldn't buy it personally/intentionally for the price/size. It's quite sticky so I don't think I'd be using it for blush.

Eyes

This comes in 3 shades and I got the shade Natural

2-in-1 Eyebag Miracle Kit P745 (6.4g) Natural

I was surprised how small it was. Probably the size of a NYX dark under eye concealer. It has a balm underneath and a concealer on top. I'm really excited to try this one.

Kilay is life! This comes in 2 shades and they gave us both! daebak!

Eyebrow Defining Kit P600 (3.3g) x 2 shades Dark Brown/Medium Brown

One is gel/wax used to fill in the brows and the other is powder to set. I use a similar cheaper version of this from Elf which only costs around PHP300

Omo! Omo! Eyeshadows! with Primers! They come in really beautiful shades of neutrals, pinks and smokey. And I just can't get over the fact that the palette already comes with a primer!

Long-Wear Eyeshadow Palette P725 (6.5g) x 3 shades Pink Orchid/Smokey Grey/Warm Brown

Really beautiful colors! I'm excited to try them!

Total of all the products in the box is PHP9239. I only paid PHP1480 for the box so I saved PHP7759. Prices are based on the CeletequeDermo website. So now I have a year's worth of make up :) I was originally going to give away some but seeing them in person makes me want to keep them all for myself! hahaha <evil laugh>
