Knockoff Websites Are Selling Fake (and Dangerous!) Kylie Jenner Lip Kits
Kylie Jenner has had wild amounts of success with her uber popular cosmetics line and lip kits, but now the buzz around her shades is primarily focused on the fakes that are out there. Not only are fans being fooled by cruddy knockoffs, some of the cheap stuff is actually pretty dangerous, with reports of the formula containing glue that can make your lips stick together and even something that smells like gasoline that’s giving people nasty infections. Yuck and yikes!
With some peeps thinking they’ve scored a deal through a third party or by heading to a website that suspiciously looks a heck of a lot like Kylie’s own, some folks are not getting what they were hoping for, while others are getting much more than they bargained for.

@KylieJenner ebay is one of the worst places- your 'lip kits' are going for as little as £4 🙄🙄 my mum got one with gasoline in it
