I recently came across this great brand called KIKO Cosmetics which I know a lot of people had already heard about them but I was new to the brand as i hadn't gotten the chance to try them until now.
I was sent a few products from their line i was glad with what they had sent, I got 2 lipsticks, 2 of the water eyeshadows, False Lash Concentrate and an Eyeshadow from the Clics System.
I was going to go through some of my favourite products they had sent and tell you what i thought of them
Firstly we have the Lipstick in 512. That is the only thing i dont really like about these lipsticks, they dont have names they only have numbers which to me isnt that amazing but the formula itself is really great these type of lipsticks are called "Luscious Cream - Creamy Lipstick" which by the name you can tell are really creamy and pigmented. I love this colour because its perfect for this time of the year. Ive found that these tend to last longer than your normal lipstick of this type of formula and for the price its impressive. Then we have this gorgeous orange lipstick in 604 which is part of the Velvet Mat formula
These lipsticks are £6.90 each
I have to say i love these eyeshadows because they are so different the design that went into creating them was amazing! They have this little swirl in them and if the design doesnt impress you then the pigmentation will. They blend really well when you apply them and being called Water Eyeshadow they can be used with water to give an even more pigmented pay off i tend to use Illamasqua Sealing Gel with these and you get the best pay off.
As the same with lipsticks these colours dont have names they just have numbers which to me is a bit boring but i can understand that if you have so many eyeshadows it would be hard to think of 100's of different names for different eyeshadows.
I have done a post about these Clics eyeshadows (£5.90) before it was before they launched. These eyeshadows are quite reminiscent of the MAC Single Pan Eyeshadows. These colours are called Infinity i think because they are quite pigmented. This colour is an indigo blue and again is very pigmented i would compare it to the likes of NARS and Illamasqua in terms of pigmentation. I love the idea of the Clics system because you can create your own little palette with different colours that you want
I was also sent a Mascara Top Coat by KIKO called False Lashes Concentrate (£7.20) which is basically a Volumising top coat for your mascara. What you have to do is apply your mascara first then apply this on top and it will give you a "False Lash" effect. At first i thought it might not work but i did a drag look and we all know drag queens need big lashes and it actually worked but i still added some lashes haha. I really like the wand on this mascara because it has a little spherical ball on the top which helps you to catch all the little lashes you might miss. Its not flakey at all which is great it has some amount of flexibility so it won't wear off during the day.
Overall i really like KIKO because its a really affordable brand but just because its affordable it doesn't mean its bad its mean quite the opposite actually and with the makeup products here ranging from £5 to £10
You can purchase these products from www.kikocosmetics.co.uk or from the KIKO Store in London

ReplyDeleteI bought a KIKO eyeshadow palette at one of their stores in Spain, and I was really impressed with it, although I didn't have as great an experience with their mascara. The products you got look good - really nice colours!
