So after a long hiatus on hiatus on the blog i've finally decided to get back into the swing of things. So without further a do I'll now launch into my next review.
When I was away a couple of months ago in Portugal I stumbled across a Kiko shop which had just opened. Having seen they had a massive sale on I just couldn't resist going in and picking up a few bits and pieces. Although I had heard of Kiko I didn't really know much about them or their products other than that they were an Italian based firm that sold mainly around Europe (although I now hear they have a store in London).
So after having a browse I picked up a couple of their gel eye shadows, a lipstick, a lip gloss, a blush and a highlighter.
Having tested and used all the products I have to say the eye shadows are definitely a stand out favourite. I picked up the colours 'Lime' and 'Innocent Rose'. Although they look fairly similar in the picture one is a more pink colour and the other slightly slivery/green. Not only are they highly pigmented but they literally do no budge! I have used them by themselves and as a base and they have lasted all day/ night. If you're going to use anything from this range I would highly recommend the eye shadows! (In the above picture they're the ones in the small glass pots)
One of my least favourite products was the blush. Although the colour was lovely I just couldn't seem to work this too well on my face and it wasn't very pigmented either so I had to keep building it up. It was quite a hard product to work with and I don't think it's one I would go for again.
The highlighter on the other hand was amazing! Once swept across my cheekbones and brow bones it gave a very subtle sheen and was too sparkly. Considering the price (round about £3 with the discount) I really would recommend this product.
I also tested the lipgloss and a lipstick. The lipgloss was lovely. This wasn't too sticky and gave a subtle rose gold sheen across the lips. The perfect gloss to go with a tan! I lve this gloss and keep going back to it again and again.
The lipstick on the other hand was not such a fave. I picked it up in a coral colour hoping it give a really pigmented colour however it could not be more opposite. It's a lipstick that really needed building up and when it was the colour looked too bright. Maybe it just wasn't the colour for me but I didn't like the consistency of the lipstick either.
Overall i'd say there were some real gems in this product line. I got all of my products for around 25 euros as they were in the sale which I thought was exceptionally cheap! Having had a look at their website even without the discount the products are still very reasonably priced with shadows around £4 and glosses around £6.
The quality of the products and the packaging really is outstanding for the price. I would really urge you all to go and check them out! Especially if they have a sale! You can purchase products here from their website or if you're abroad!
Have your tried many products from Kiko? What are your favourites?
Well I have to say I'm glad to be back. A bit of an epic post but I have a lot to tell you all about!
Lots of love
