Kiko Make-up

I've recently been on a trip to Italy and whilst over there I discovered what is now one of my favorite brands - Kiko. Fortunately whilst I was over there they had sales on in nearly every shop, including this one. I managed to get each product with 50% off! After trying a selection of products, I was disappointed to find that there is only one current store in the UK and of course, it's in London. The products are available online however so I would definitely guarantee having a look!

Above you can see the four products I purchased. Firstly I picked up a nail varnish, in a pale taupe with a slight purple sheen, I was surprised to find that for around £2, this nail varnish was great! It has a wide, easy to use brush and needs no more than 2 coats to create an opaque coverage.

Next is the most impressive product in my eyes, the Kiko lipgloss. I am not a huge fan of lipgloss but when I saw this gorgeous berry shade with 50% off, I couldn't help but pick it up, and I have to say I have been converted. This lipgloss hasn't got the sticky feeling which I HATE but a moisturizing texture which feels exactly like lipbalm. I think this a great alternative to other high end glosses which do not feel as sticky either. I couldn't believe how hydrated my lips felt after wearing it for the day! It isn't that long lasting but without eating, I'd say around 2 hours.

The final section in Kiko I looked at was eye shadows. I picked out two gorgeous shades. One pale pink champagne colour and one dark matte taupe. They work wonderfully together! I was very happy with the matte eyeshadow however I found that the pink was less pigmented and took several brush strokes to build up some colour. Kiko a very wide range of shades and this I found rather impressive!

Overall I was very impressed with the products and I would definitely recommend visiting a store or looking online! The shop was also a great experience, it was jam packed with products, ideal!

The biggest selection of nail varnish I've seen, and that is only half the nail varnish section!

They have a HUGE variety of eyeshadows and liners.
