Now Kylie Costmetics is embroiled in one other kontroversy after followers began accusing the celebriteen of repackaging previous lip package shades as "restricted version" hues. The Vacation Lip Package Set included a shade referred to as Blitzen, billed as a "hotter model" of the prevailing shade, Spice. 

However clients have been disenchanted to seek out out that if there's a distinction between Spice and Blitzen, it is barely distinguishable.
