Lip Kits have been massive ever since the launch of the Kylie Lip Kits a couple of years back, but if you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I never caved and gave into the hype surrounding them.

However, when I was in Penneys a few weeks back, I noticed these metallic lip lots and obviously had to buy one to see what it was like, especially as I love metallic shades too.

The shade I got, Molten Lava, is a shimmer gold shade, somewhere in between yellow gold and rose gold. I first applied the lip liner part which I have to say, wasn’t that pigmented so I was a bit dubious about what the finished look would be like.

I needn’t have worried though because the liquid lipstick part was lovely and though not a bold shade, the pigment was a lot better than the lip pencil.

It is nice to apply and feels soft on the lips, but does get a bit dryer once it sets. Because of that I thought it would start cracking and flaking, but actually it didn’t at all, and the staying power was surprisingly, pretty good!

I think I’d prefer a bolder metallic shade overall, but I did like this and was very impressed by the formula overall.
