" Stephanie Nicole is a beauty guru known for her brutally honest makeup reviews, and\u00A0when it comes to her matte liquid lipstick review series, she&amp;#039;s not holding back. When she\u00A0reviewed the first formula for\u00A0Kylie Jenner&amp;#039;s matte lip kits four months ago, Stephanie\u00A0was honest about her disdain for the Kardashian/Jenner&amp;#039;s empire and what she calls their image as &amp;quot;airheads&amp;quot;, but\u00A0she still ranked Kylie&amp;#039;s matte lipsticks as 6th best out of 27 brands for\u00A0their great wearability. At the time, she also shut down rumors that\u00A0the\u00A0Kylie\u00A0Lip Kits were just rebranded versions of ColourPop&amp;#039;s matte liquid lipsticks (although she did say the lip liners were pretty much the same as ColourPop&amp;#039;s). But\u00A0the\u00A0Kylie\u00A0Lip Kits recently relaunched\u00A0with a brand new formula, and now,\u00A0Stephanie&amp;#039;s opinion has completely changed as well. In a Take Two Review, Stephanie calls out Kylie\u00A0and the company behind\u00A0her lip kits, Seed Beauty, for what she believes are\u00A0unacceptable business practices. Stephanie&amp;#039;s Take Two\u00A0Review\u00A0 In her super long and well-researched review, Stephanie breaks down why she believes Kylie&amp;#039;s new\u00A0Lip Kit\u00A0formula is essentially identical to ColourPop&amp;#039;s cheaper\u00A0lipsticks.\u00A0 &amp;quot;ColourPop does have a few other ingredients in there which are preservatives and a few other filler products,&amp;quot; Stephanie explains, &amp;quot;but if anything, every single thing that&amp;#039;s in these Kylie Jenner\u00A0Lip Kits is in the ColourPop formula... You would think that the more expensive brand would have the\u00A0 extra products, but no.&amp;quot; Stephanie points out that\u00A0Laura Nelson, the co-owner of Seed Beauty,\u00A0also happens to own ColourPop cosmetics, and she\u00A0blasts them for charging more simply because Kylie&amp;#039;s name is attached to the Lip Kits. &amp;quot;[That money is] not going to product development, or better ingredients, or faster customer service.\u00A0All she&amp;#039;s doing is basically lending her name out.&amp;quot;  In Stephanie&amp;#039;s opinion, Kylie&amp;#039;s new formula is a major downgrade, but they can get away with it\u00A0because they know people will pay for it. &amp;quot;They\u00A0[Seed Beauty]\u00A0know that no matter what it is, that people will wait in line for this,&amp;quot; she theorizes. &amp;quot;So when they saw the huge response, they cut some more corners and took a good formula and made it cheap... It&amp;#039;s not acceptable.&amp;quot; Kylie&amp;#039;s Lip Kits vs. ColourPops&amp;#039; Lip Products Stephanie\u00A0broke\u00A0down how much a lipstick and lip liner from Kylie Cosmetics costs\u00A0versus\u00A0how much ColourPops&amp;#039; similar products costs. The price difference is kind of crazy. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s a $23.31 price difference for the same exact formula of the same exact product,&amp;quot; Stephanie explains. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not acceptable to me.&amp;quot;  Stephanie knocked Kylie Lip Kits down to 18th place among her updated list of \u00A038 matte liquid lipstick brands (which, tbh, isn&amp;#039;t that bad). While\u00A0Stephanie throws\u00A0major shade at the Kardashian/Jenners in the vid, her review\u00A0is compelling and kind of mind-blowing. It will definitely make you wonder if you should take her advice and\u00A0purchase a $6 ColourPop dupe instead of waiting for the next round of Kylie Lip Kit releases. \u00A0 Check out Stephanie&amp;#039;s review and decide for yourself what you think.
