I have never backed a Kickstarter before. What do I do?

Firstly, welcome to the community! Kickstarter exists so creators like us can find backers like you, who believe in us. Its all really simple, just like buying anything online. The only difference is you will wait slightly longer to receive your product. Here are the steps:

  • Create a Kickstarter account (Log in if you already have one)
  • Go to the campaign you want to support and click on the ‘Back this Project” button
  • On the next page you can choose the reward tier you want to back. Choose that and then click ‘Pledge’
  • There are some add-ons we have listed for your use. You can choose some here and then click ‘Continue’
  • On the payments page, add your payment information and then complete your suport by clicking the “Pledge” button.

And that is it. We will keep updating you on the project status every step of the way. Your shipping address and shipping amounts will be collected from you after the campaign ends.

How much will shipping to my country cost?

All shipping costs will be charged on BackerKit closer to the campaign. With continued uncertainty around the world, shipping prices continue to fluctuate, and we believe that charging you shipping when we have a clearer idea of how much it costs will be better.

As an estimate, we expect to charge the following for shipping the LIPSKIT 2.0: Asia - $10 North America - $15 EU - $21 Rest of world - $39 The cost will increase with add ons

The Queen Kit comprises the LIPSKIT in one package and 6 more packages of bullets (sets of 5 each) that will be shipped to you every 2 months. Therefore the shipping cost will be one payment made for the entire batch.

We may also provide an additional courier option for certain countries.

Am I expected to pay any other taxes or duties?

Due to different tax and customs policies of each country, we CANNOT guarantee the tax price. Our product price does not include VAT or import tax of your country. You will be responsible for paying local taxes and duties, where applicable. You will not always be required to pay duties or import tax, but it is important that you make yourself aware of the duties that apply in your country in case you are charged. If you are not sure of your country’s customs and tax rates, please drop us a note and we can help you estimate your final landed price, to the best of our ability.

Depending on order volume, we may be collecting VAT/taxes before shipping to the European Union. This will smoothen the pledge process for you and you will not have to worry about paying taxes at the time of delivery, incurring extra fees or customs holdups.

Can I carry the LIPSKIT 2.0 with me on a daily basis?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 is smaller than the average coffee mug so it can be carried with you when you travel. However, for daily use we encourage you to create your makeup in the reusable pots and carry just that with you. The reusable pots are approximately the size of your Airpods in cover.

How many uses does a batch of Lipstick last?

This depends on the colour you are creating with the LIPSKIT 2.0. If the colour you make needs 3 pumps of the bullets, you are good for about a week of use, twice a day. If the number of pumps required are more, the lipstick will last longer.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 01:20

How do I clean the LIPSKIT and pots?

Our formulation is long-wear and oil-based. Hence, you will need a light oil like olive, coconut, or baby oil or an oil-based makeup remover to clean a used pot. Soak a tissue with oil and wipe the pot and the brush clean. You can even leave the oil-soaked tissue in the pot overnight for easy cleaning. After all the product is wiped away, give the pot and the brush a nice rinse in soapy water and they’re ready to reuse.

How long can I store the colours in the jars?

Once a colour is created it can be stored in the pots for a month. After this we recommend that you clean the pots and make a new batch so there is no risk of product contamination in the open jars.

Will the LIPSKIT 2.0 be used by my friend as well?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 is personalised to your skin tone and undertone. Of course you are welcome to have your friend try it, but we do not guarantee that the colours will look the same degree of awesome on them.

How does the app work?

The app is web based so it will work on any smartphone you have. Just open the app and you will arrive at your personal profile, where you can GO PLAY with creating any colour blend you would like to try!

Last updated: July 27, 2021 01:20

Does the LIPSKIT 2.0 have batteries and need to be charged?

No, the LIPSKIT 2.0 is not a connected device and does not need a power source of any kind. We believe that the simplest solution is the best solution, and therefore have kept the LIPSKIT 2.0 simple.

How is this product sustainable?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 uses the best quality virgin plastics when manufactured. Our products are infinitely reusable and can create multiple colours, the only available alternative for which is to go and buy a new single use product for every single colour you want. When you run out of any one colour bullet you need to only order for that one colour and the cycle continues. Over a year, the LIPSKIT 2.0 replaces 20 lipsticks that you would otherwise have to buy, making it a lot more circular and sustainable. The bullets themselves are airless and there is near zero wastage in the dispensing function as all the product inside is used. Further, we are working on making the LIPSKIT 2.0 plastic neutral by recycling the same amount of plastic that goes into all the product components.

Will the colours recommended be an exact match to what I want?

We use the “best match” principle when offering you a colour blend. So the app recommends the best match that can be created using the available set of bullets you have. There might be slight variation to the colour you want depending on the number of pumps needed, and the set of bullets you own.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 01:20

How many pumps of colour does each bullet have?

Each bullet is 5ml of cosmetic and each pump dispenses about 0.125ml of product. So the total number of pumps available on each pump is around 40.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 01:20

Can the kit really make infinite colours?

The kit can make all colors on the Red-Yellow-Blue spectrum. However, some colours would require a lot of pumps of one specific colour, which may not be fully used. In which case we recommend referring to the best match on the app to create the colour closest to the one you desire.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 01:20

What is the closest match of readily available lipstick in product touch and feel?

Our base product, without the addition of moisture drops, is quick drying matte. Our test consumers have told us that it feels closest to Tarte Tartiest Lip Paint.

Does the LIPSKIT 2.0 have to be paired with the app to work?

No, the LIPSKIT 2.0 is not a connected device so it works perfectly well without the app. The app adds value to your experience by acting as your stylist and recommending the best colours, blends, and matches to you.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 21:24

Does the LIPSKIT 2.0 have a return/refund policy?

We are confident that you will love the LIPSKIT 2.0 and do not offer a refund on products. However, if you are dissatisfied with any one aspect of the product, we will send you a replacement part immediately.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 21:24

Can I fill the bullets with my own cosmetics?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 bullets are specially formulated to work best with the product. We use only high quality vegan, cruelty free and free of all toxins cosmetic ingredients. The colours blends we display on the app and chart are carefully crafted to work with the bullets provided. The bullets are airless pumps that need to be filled in using a specific process. It is therefore not recommended that you refill them with your own cosmetics as the product could get irreversibly damaged.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 21:24

Will I be able to order bullets when the campaign is over?

Yes, the bullets can be ordered in sets or single units after the campaign ends. You can also use the add-ons feature to add more bullets to your cart when making your pledge, or with the Backerkit survey after the campaign ends.

Last updated: July 27, 2021 21:24

What is the difference between the LIPSKIT 1.0 and LIPSKIT 2.0?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 is custom assembled with a set of cartridges that match your skin’s undertone. So it’s personalised for you. Also, it includes a physical color blends chart with colors that would look great on your skintone.

LIPSKIT 1.0, on the other hand, comes with a generic set of cartridges and color blends that are not personalised for you.

We’ve also done a fun new packaging for the LIPSKIT 2.0 with a promise to go plastic neutral when we hit our first stretch goal on Kickstarter.

Last updated: July 29, 2021 21:06

How will my order be affected if I chose the wrong options in my skin season quiz?

The LIPSKIT 2.0 comes in 2 variants - warm/neutral undertone and cool/neutral undertone.

The skin seasons are broadly classified into ‘Winter’, ‘Summer’, ‘Spring’ and ‘Autumn’. ‘Winter’ and ‘Summer’ are cool/neutral undertone and ‘Spring’ and ‘Autumn’ are warm/neutral undertone.

As long as your undertone is identified correctly, you will receive your perfect match LIPSKIT 2.0.

For example, if you’re getting ‘bright winter’ or ‘soft summer’ as your skin season based on which options you pick in the quiz, you’ll still be identified as a cool undertone person and the LIPSKIT will be assembled with our cool/neutral bullets.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
