    As most of you know, teen and successful business entrepreneur Kylie Jenner recently debuted new colors in her Kylie Cosmetics collection — metals!

    Each lipstick costs $18 each, or you can get the pack of three for $54. Like several thousand other people in the world, we were curious about these new colors. They were METALLIC for god's sake! So we downloaded Kylie's app and let it take over our lives. But it worked — we got them! We were victorious.

    So the five of us — Keely, Lara, Nina, Sheridan, and Susan — sacrificed our lips to show you what these colors look like.

    First, we tried Heir, a golden-peach color.

    Keely's thoughts: I don't like a shade that's paler than I am — it makes me look like a secondary character in The Fifth Element. I'm definitely too light-skinned for this shade — but that's not on Kylie tbh, it's on my Irish brethren.

    Lara's thoughts: OK. I don't totally understand this color. I mean it just makes you look like you're really cold? Or like you ate a glazed doughnut but couldn't find a napkin anywhere. It also went on super flaky. The name is cool though. And it does feel soft, albeit flaky.

    Nina's thoughts: This one is way too light for my skin tone. I'd only wear this shade if I were trying to signal ships in the night.

    Sheridan's thoughts: This look is very hypothermia-chic. I may actually be dead in this photo, who knows.

    Susan's thoughts: This color blended in with my skin tone! I looked like I had no lips. 👽 Hard pass on this one, Kylie.

    Then we tried King K, a golden, sunset-looking option.

    Keely's thoughts: I look like C-3PO, which doesn't work for me because I never studied human-cyborg relations.

    Lara's thoughts: I didn't think I liked this color. But as it turns out, I love it. I keep wearing it over and over. It's an everyday look, or at least I'm pretending it is. It's subtle but still exciting and fun. I LIKE IT A LOT. I'm not sure if it actually looks good with my skin tone but I'm pretending it does.

    Nina's thoughts: Eh, this one isn't the worst in the world, but it's not the best either. The shade makes my lips look kind of washed out.

    Sheridan's thoughts: I feel like a cross of Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century and the Walmart version of Rihanna. Actual Rihanna would kill this joint. I, Walmart Rihanna, look like I'm trying too hard.

    Susan's thoughts: I would wear this one daily. I'm not a big fan of nude lipsticks, but a metallic, shimmery gold works. It's a nice lil' pop.

    And then it was time for Reign, the purplish, gold option.

    Keely's thoughts: This is by far the most universally flattering shade. It low-key makes me feel like Morticia Addams.

    Lara's thoughts: This color is A+. But it felt kind of flaky. Like, it's easy to put on but also not easy at all? I know that makes no sense. But TRUST ME. It's a thing. I like this color. I would wear this again. But I would practice putting it on first.

    Nina's thoughts: OK, this is definitely the best of the three. It's shiny, but not too shiny, and a shade that will work for most skin tones, I think. Unlike the other two it actually looks regal AF. I feel like a queen!

    Sheridan's thoughts: Yay, this one doesn't make me hate everything in the world (almost). See, this color goes on nice and even and really pops. As Seaweed in Hairspray so eloquently sang, "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice." So true, Seaweed, so true.

    Susan's thoughts: LOVE this one. Would marry this one. This one is my favorite of all of them.

    In the end, everyone loved Reign the best, but Lara really liked King K.
