So a couple of weeks ago I went to Reading to visit my cousin and we did a bit of shopping in the town centre. We attempted to find a bargain in the sales but we had no luck so after a lovely lunch at Jamie's Italian I spotted a Kiko. This made me very excited as I had heard so many good things about their cosmetics but never had a chance to go in a spend some money.
If you ever see a Kiko, don't be deceived by its fancy, high-end M.A.C looks because it is actually the quality of that but money-wise, it has prices like L'Oreal and Revlon.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying out the two products I bought and so far I am going head of heals for them and wish I brought more stuff to try out!
Firstly can I say the packaging of this product is stunning, very vintage which I adore. I was lucky to find this Top Pairs Blush Duo on the sale stand for £7.95 (originally was £15.49)! I thought the sleek blushers had high pigmentation with good colour pay off but this totally beats that. The two shades 'Rasberry Rose' and 'Peach' really compliments my light/tanned skin tone. I much prefer the right side colour because of the sun-kissed bronze glow without being too orangey toned. If you have darker skin they do offer darker more bronze tones if you are interested in that. I highly recommend any Kiko blush products if you come across them because the quality is amazing and at a very good price!
And lastly I brought the product that Kiko are know for, their Long Lasting Eyeshadow Sticks. Apparently they are a dupe for the By Terry Ombre Star Shadow Sticks but as I do not have the money to invest in a cream eye shadow worth £29 I cannot compare them but I honestly believe you do not have to spend that price if you own the Kiko dupe (unless you like the fancy gold packaging!) As you can see by the swatch here the colour I purchased was a red-brown colour, very similar to the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Metallic Pomegranate but I prefer this because of the more neutral tones it gives. What i can't get over is how long it lasts. As soon as you put it on to your lids it gives for a minute or two while you blend the colour out but then it will not budge. When I swatched this on my hand for my most recent video I honestly could not remove it when washing my hands or even when I was in the shower. My Garnier Miceller water struggled but in the end it eventually budged!
As you can see I am RAVING about these products, if I ever went to Kiko again I would probably invest in their brow products or single eyeshadows because I have heard many good things about them!
Catch you soon with a new post <33
