Thank you for reviewing the new shades from the mini kit. I felt like Apricot and High Maintenance (and Maliboo) would be quite light, however, I'm sure that with the right lip pencils, you can make them work when you do try them on your lips. I loved the swatches that I saw for Head Over Heels prior to it's release so I'm happy to see that it looks just as great as I imagined that it would when worn.

Thanks for the info. I don't think I need the mini kiit. I bought the Head over Heels lip kit. I think Poesie is the other color I wanted but I can just buy a lip kit. Apricot probably wouldn't work on me. I don't remember what High Maintenance was supposed to look like. I will look it up. I haven't tried Mailboo but I probably couldn't pull that one off either. I think I have the others in either minis or full size.

Still no shipment notice though.

My orders still have not shipped I did get a "we haven't forgotten about you" email from KC CS.

I got a shipping email today. I was just thinking if they are having the pop up store on Monday, I could get the items then and just cancel my order. But then I got the shipping notice. It would have been nice to get my order earlier in case I fell hard for something and would like another. I have to work late on Monday so there probably won't be anything left by the time I get to line up.

Don't bother, I hear the line is ridiculous and even the people in the front probably have a 2 hr wait and those in the back may not even get in. WTF?? I'll pop by on Wednesday if they still have stuff. In LA they still had stuff on the 3rd day, but I'm not sure what kind of stock NYC is working with. I was going to scope it out today but it's wayyy too cold/windy.

I finally made it to the pop up shop. It was hard finding current info on social media but when I did someone posted that it was about a 2 hour wait. This was on my way down about 2:30 but I couldn't get there until 4! Well, I had to wait a bit longer than that. So if anyone is going maybe get there before that would be good. I wasn't sure I could do 2 hours but I gave it a try. I figured I did about that for the mac sale this summer.

Anyway, I went because of the makeup lover in me and because I really wanted a Rose Gold back up. I heard that they had some of the limited edition products so I went to get some back ups of my faves and a few permanent items I've been wanting to try.

Figured I'd post in case any one was thinking of going.

Birthday Items I remember
-just copper cream eye shadow, no rose gold
-Poppin Gloss
-Leo lip kit
-I can't remember anything else from this collection

Koko Collection lip colors

Holiday stuff:
-holiday box - the one with a bunch of lip colors and 3 creme shadows and white Kyliner
-holiday kyshadow palette
-holiday mini lip kits
-holiday 4 color lip set (full size)
-Camo cream eyeshadow
-Plum cream eyeshadow
-Merry lip kit
-Jolly
-Dancer Metal
-white kyliner
-stocking
-pom pom

Valentine's Day stuff
-Diary
-duos
-mini lip set
-Valentine's lip kits

They had all the regular line stuff too. I heard the Peach palette was already sold out.
Oh and they were selling mini lips as singles for $5 each

I bought way too much
-Copper and Camo creme shadows
-Koko set
-holiday 4 lip color set

new to me stuff
-pom pom
-socks
-Chameleon Kyliner
-Ginger lip kit
-Dolce K lip kit
-Poesie Lip kit
-Apricot mini - I had the set but realized I had most of the colors and really just wanted to try Apricot. I didn't do any math to see if it was worth $5 but I had way too much in my basket. I put back the 3 lip metals. Already had them but was getting backups. I came to my senses. I did buy the brush set. I had no intention and no interest in it but yesterday I used the synthetic fluffy brush from Mac Makeup Masters collection and my Natasha Denona eyeshadow went on much more vibrantly than with the other brush I was using. I was thinking maybe it was to do with the fact it was synthetic. I don't think I have very many synthetic eye brushes. At least not a variety of them. I have a few small flat densely packed ones. So I was curious. Probably would have done better doing some research but it was an impulse purchase.

I guess I'll just keep wishing for Rose Gold to come back.

Edit - Oh and one the guys managing the line said Sunday was the last day.

Oh wow, Rose Gold was there when I went, top shelf above Copper in its own jar. There were only a few in there and I didn't check anywhere else though. I got in the doors around 3:30 pm though.

For those of you such as myself who don't follow Kylie on snapchat, here is a video from her snapchat featuring the Kylighters:
To be honest, I am not overly impressed with the arm swatches. The texture of the Kylighters look similar to the highlighters in the Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit, which unfortunately, did not appeal to me personally. There are videos from her snapchat that show the Kylighters being applied to her and her friend's face that look nice, but I think I'm going to wait until reviews come out from consumers before I purchase any. Also, while I do care more about product performance over packaging, I do think the packaging looks a little cheap, although I do like the design on the highlighter itself (as it falls in line with the drips she uses for a lot of her packaging) and the fact that it comes with a mirror. I personally hope they are priced under $30 each as I currently don't see myself willing to pay more than that due to the packaging, unless the quality of the highlighter itself is on par with other brands that sell their highlighters for $30+.
