After teaming up with Total Beauty editor and lipstick master Allie Flinn, we managed to recreate a look as dramatic as Kylie's. And while I was thrilled to be rocking such a trendy lip look, when I looked in the mirror, my lips still felt puny by comparison. I felt completely and utterly defeated.
Just when all hope was lost, the lip Gods presented me with an opportunity to meet the 18-year-old beauty icon in person. Kylie was hosting a launch party at Dash Boutique in Los Angeles for her brand new Kylie Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner (which, we're told, sold out in under a minute). I only screamed giddily like a little girl for five minutes.
When I arrived, Kylie personally greeted me (yes, I died a little inside). She even dished out some of her beauty secrets in an exclusive interview. Once I finished playing the hard-hitting journalist, I asked my icon if we could nab a photo together in the photo booth she had set up at her event, and prepared to pucker like a mother trucker.

Then something crazy happened. After a minute of snapping photos with King Kylie (swoon), I looked at the pictures and realized...my pucker was f**king awesome. While Jenner's lips were clearly bigger than mine, my lips were definitely holding their own, and made me proud. While I very well might have been high off meeting the reality star in person, I was definitely on cloud nine as my lips never looked bigger or more badass.
While I wish I could tell you I remained satisfied with my lip size after meeting Jenner, it's just not the truth. In fact, meeting her only made me more motivated to make them even bigger. I now spend my days limiting my Instagram stalking of the starlet to two hours a day and only allowing myself to watch one lip tutorial a day. My beauty closet, which used to contain mostly mascaras and eyeliners, is now overflowing with lipstick shades in every color. So, while Kylie Jenner's lips might have turned me into a luscious-lip-loving lunatic, it's definitely amped up my beauty routine (lips so on fleek).
Oh, and I have my follow up appointment next week to make them bigger. #sorrynotsorry
