What Happens When You Buy Fake Kylie Cosmetics Products Is Pretty Horrifying

Since the launch of Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Jenner's lip kits, eyeshadow palettes and the like have been notoriously difficult to get a hold of. Popular colors sell out quickly, and every time something new is released... well, good luck even accessing the site. With both the high demand and the high prices on her lip kits and the like, some people have been turning elsewhere to find the highly coveted products. Pro tip: Don't.

Lately, hundreds of people have been complaining about receiving fake lip kits which contain nasty junk like glue and ingredients that cause swelling and rashes. Some reports even claim the knock-off formulas contain gasoline. Ew.

This article breaks down how to tell if your kit is fake.

Kylie's personal twitter account has been flooded with stories about receiving POS lip kits and other sketchy versions of her cosmetics. Kylie responded to a lot of the complaints, assuring people her lip kits aren't harmful and also reminds them that authentic products are only sold on kyliecosmetics.com and other websites and services can't be trusted. On Snapchat Kylie said "I don't sell to anybody else. The only way that you can get my products is through my website."

So what's the takeaway here? Listen to King Kylie. Being patient beats gluing your lips together.
