Kylie Jenner's 'Lip Kit' Sells Out in Record Time
Given she has over 43 million followers on Instagram, and approximately 12million followers on twitter, it's hardly surprising that her 'Lip Kit' endorsement has flown off the shelves.
So what does this Lip Kit entail? Contrary to popular belief across the twittersphere this morning, it doesn't include a pair of novelty lips that'll be coming your way via a Christmas cracker shortly, or a suction device like a bottle a la the ill-advised Kylie Jenner lip challenge of yore.

Then she was left no option but to appease her followers by saying she was really sad that the sock sold out so fast, and there's more stock in the pipeline.
I'm so sad they sold out so fast. Don't be upset! This isn't exclusive. There is more to come & still a chance to buy before Christmas!

Forgive me for being ignorant, but everyone who's purchased the Lip Kit so far does know that it won't give them Kylie Jenner's lips, right?
