I'm a huge lipstick lover. I don't wear it often because I suck at applying it properly, but I still somehow managed to amass a ridiculously large collection of lippies – lipsticks, lip glosses, lip stains, lip balms. Like many other makeup enthusiasts, I've kind of fallen in love with Kylie Jenner's lip kits. Say what you will about Kylie herself, but even if you're not a fan, you've got to admit that her brand's come out with some gorgeous colors, styles, and formulas – and hey, now she's even taking care of that messy, pesky brush problem! The kits aren't outrageously expensive, but it can be hard to get your hands on the colors you want – they sell out fast! So, if you need an alternative until you finally get one of the coveted colors, I've got a bunch for you!

Tarte's got several gorgeous Kylie-esque colors, but TBT is one of the most sought after. It's a rich, dramatic shade that you can also wear with your daytime look.

Mad for matte lipsticks? Colourpop's one of the biggest Kylie competitors and for good reason. Midi is a sweet, soft, peachy shade that's perfect for spring.

Of course you can count on MAC to save the day! I love the rich red tones of Faux – how about you?

Here's a fab, affordable pick for anyone looking for a subtle shade. I won't call it nude because, well, it's not nude for all skin tones, but that doesn't make it any less pretty.

The name of this shade says it all – redrum, redrum, redrum! Bee tee double-you, did anyone else see how Jeffree recently went in on Kylie for those janked up lip brushes?

This pretty shade of pink will definitely put you in the mood to party!

Here's another marvelous matte, but this shade is all about the drama. The purple tones make it perfect for a vampy look.

Love the nod to Hole and Courtney Love here! You could certainly put together a grunge-inspired rocker girl look with this lippie.

You don't have to go with a luxury brand or spend a lot of money if you want to find a Kylie alternative. L'Oreal has some fab lipsticks and this is a fierce color.

Oooh, this red! This red is everything, this red is life!

How gorgeous is this? I think I need to pause a minute and go order this, actually … Brb!

Want something with just a glimmer of glam? Protip: this is also lovely when you lightly layer it over a lipstick in a different shade.

I live for this shade. That is so dark and dramatic and gorgeous!
Even if these don't live up to Kylie's lip kits, they're all gorgeous. Think you might stock up on a few of them?
