Hi everyone!

So, something looks very similar eh?

No it's not the Kylie Matte Liquid Lipstick

BUT

It's a dupe.

It's actually a local brand made in Malaysia, which emphasize on creating a more affordable brand of  the famous Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit products.

Here, a glimpse of their website look and feel

It had been a rage on how they actually able to "copy" almost similar packaging and looks!

I wonder if the texture would be as similar as the original one's though.

When they announced the product, it was priced at RM66 excluding postage, okay.

I find it rather pricey and expensive for a locally made product.

Why?

Simple. Let me give you set of lipstick / liquid lipstick of several well-known brands:

1) Mac Lipstick - RM74

2) Tarteist Lip Paint Liquid Lipstick - RM83

3) Ciate London Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick - RM60

4) NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - RM30

5) Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick - RM40

So you get the point of my message?

I had a feeling they want to priced their products at that level because probably the cost of producing the lip cream are outsourced from outside and they a fee on that, also the packaging seems like it's rather costly with all the boxes and thank you card attached. Not to forget, they want to keep some profit for themselves too. Well, that's briefly explained the price of the liquid lipstick, I'd say :p

I was in doubt in purchasing the lip products because I keep thinking, is it really worth the money?

However, doubt or not, I finally placed an order on two of the lip item.

1) Dolce K x 1

2) Koko K x 1

Here's the actual product comparison.

Unfortunately,

Something really unfortunate occured.

The delivery that was supposed to happen did not happen.

Here's what I got from them after silence for almost a week.



*there is a complimentary coupon code but I don't find it appropriate to share for those who did not had this problem, sorry*

When I received this, I was very upset because I was hoping the delivery was already on its way and tracking number was the thing I supposed to receive.

Had to express my disappointment to them and I opt for a refund. C'mon, waiting for about two weeks for a lipstick that was supposed to be ready ain't fun okay :(

I am so glad they provided attentive response and responsible towards their act.


Fortunately I have received my refunds total of RM139 after few days, which is today.

I am disappointed with what happened because to be honest, there are other cosmetic company in Malaysia that has been releasing their product successfully.

For example,

Velvet Vanity

Fame Cosmetics

Sugarbelle Cosmetics

 I hope they do well in the future and such incident would never occur again.
Maybe I will try to buy again one day, when their company is more well establish and the name is more strong.

Please take note I am not trying to pull down the company of making them look bad intentionally.
I wrote this based on my personal experience and honest feelings.
People make mistakes, yes, but when you are dealing with huge markets, I believe such incidents cannot be compromise.
That's is how you kept words to "great quality"

What do you think?

Love,

Ai Ai
