Kylie Jenner's lips were one of the most talked about beauty topics of 2015, and she has finally released her very own Lip Kit so you too can copy her famous pout. She first started teasing the line back in August with a sneak peek shot of one of the darker colors, writing "Brown lips #KylieLipKit stay tuned," and from there on out, her fans impatiently awaited the arrival of the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit.
On Sunday night, the 18-year-old reality star revealed the three shades that would become available for purchase on lipkitbykylie.com, and they're all colors we've seen the young fashion icon rock before. The three shades include "Canky K," which is a nude pink, "Dolce K" which is a little bit darker and more of a taupe nude and "TrueBrown K" which is a gorgeous dark brown, and most likely the same color she was wearing in the original teaser photo. Each kit includes a matte liquid lipstick and matching lip liner to recreate her signature full lip.
Over the past 24 hours, Jenner has been sharing previews of the packaging and swatches on her Instagram and Snapchat, allowing her fans to see what these shades really look like. She even created an Instagram account specifically for the lip kit, which already has over 400,000 followers, and features flawless photos of herself wearing each of the three shades.
"Wow. Been dreaming of this day for 2 years now. This was a long process but an amazing one!" she tweeted prior to the release, adding, "This is all me and I put my everything into these lip kits. I hope you guys love them as much as I do. Definitely more to come."
Back in September, Jenner admitted that she was a little nervous to release a beauty line as she was afraid people weren't going to be into it.
"Well, for my new lip kit, I just put in an order for how many of them I want produced for my manufacturer. I was struggling with the number to ask them to make because I was like, 'Do I want to make this much? No, because nobody is going to buy it,'" she told Galore Magazine. "I didn't want to order that much. But then my mom was like, 'Kylie, people are going to want your lip kit.' I guess sometimes that's all I need not to get nervous."
And her mother, Kris Jenner, sure was right because the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits sold out in under a minute. The kits became available at 9 a.m. PST, noon EST for $29 each and sold out almost instantly, according to Elle. Within 30 seconds, the site showed a huge photo of Jenner's lips with gold teeth that read, "WE ARE SOLD OUT. We are currently out of stock. Please follow @LipKitByKylie on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for updates on our next shipment arrival date."
Shortly after, though, Jenner tweeted that the kits weren't completely gone. "Nobody be upset! There's so many people trying to buy at once so there are some tech issues," she wrote, adding, "Everybody stand by and keep trying! We r working on it."
Now, when you try to add one of the items to your cart, it says, "We'll be right back. We are currently experiencing higher traffic than normal. Please check back in 15 minutes." It is unclear if there are any of the lip kits still available, but don't worry, because people have already started selling them on eBay for over $100 each.
While fans are freaking out over the possibly already out of stock kits, Jenner is sharing some behind the scenes looks from her Lip Kit photo shoot with photographer Nick Saglimbeni.
"Well today we wanted to do something really stark and dramatic," Saglimbeni says in the sneak peek video on her website. "Usually when I shoot Kylie or her sisters, we try to go really soft and glam. But this time, we wanted to go very moody and the goal was really to put bright contrasting highlights on the lip...I've known Kylie for many, many years and you could just tell she was going to be a star."
In the photos, which show off each of the three shades, Jenner stuns with light green hair similar to the shade she wore a few weeks ago while promoting at the Sugar Factory in New York City. At the time, she posted a shot of her long green hair writing, "Green has been my favorite so far. Def making a comeback in the next few weeks."
