Tropic Heat Highlighter in 02 Active Peach from KiKO

Image
KIKO has to be one of my favourite cosmetic shops. They are always releasing great products and have some great beauty staples. I tend to always purchase my eyebrow pencil from there and their lipgloss crayons. I can guarantee when I go to restock I always end up with more than I intended and this time I bought THE most amazing highlighter. The Highlighter is apart of their Tropic Heat capsule collection to celebrate their 20th anniversary. when I played around with their testers and did some swatches I knew I had to get the 02 Active Peach colour.   This is a gorgeous special memory formula. It feels like gel when you dab your finger in the pot and when you apply to your cheek bones it feels like a cool gel that turns into a non sticky highlighter.   It is a striking rose gold colour that really makes a statement and great for summer cheeks. The day I bought it I had to wear it on a night out and it adds subtle drama to a simple look. I like to foc...

Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick by KIKO

Image
  Lipsticks are seriously my guilty pleasure... I feel I just can't get enough of them... Especially KIKO Milano lipsticks. My recent find is "Velvet Passion" matte lipstick - I absolutely LOVE the name. It comes in a aluminium and rose gold packaging which I adore... Rose gold seems to be Popular amongst beauty brands and their packaging. The end of the lipstick has been carefully designed for easy application which I find quite interesting as I haven't had a lipstick shaped liked this yet.   The colour really grabbed me - it's dark and mysterious, it's matte and has a slight shade of berry. The first time I wore this was during the day, YES it screamed sass and I loved it. It completed my outfit well and was perfect on a sunny winters day. Why should you invest in "Velvet Passion" from KIKO? 1. Excellent value for money. 2. Matte lipstick - hottest trend for lips right now. 3. Stunning colour / deep brown/berry look - the ...

KIKO - Unlimited stylo lipstick in Burgundy

Image
Kiko has to be one of my favourite brands, This year it has taken over my makeup bag - I have already bought so much from there and cannot speak highly enough about my brow pencil (already blogged about) or my crayon gloss pencils. Every now and again KIKO run promotions and this is when I found this lipstick. It was a few weeks back now but it's one of those colours that was just coming into season and really caught my eye. For most of this year I have been creating fuller lips with different nudes and really fancied something a little different. The lipstick has pretty silver packaging, very simple, stylish and elegant. It's called - unlimited stylo 12 - burgundy - this lipstick is not only a gorgeous colour but is also long lasting, it has depth and can either look extremely glam or a slight hint of goth - it all depends on how you wear it. I wore it on Friday with all black, a band tee and simple makeup, I felt abit gothic with all the dark deep colours and...

KIKO kisses - Crayon Gloss Pencils

Image
Again I am excited to share more KIKO Milano cosmetics and this time it's all about LIPS! It's not one but two colours I have to share with you and this time it's not a lipstick or a tube of gloss - it's a crayon gloss!! I have recently bought two colours and these now come with me everywhere at the weekend!  One of the colours is 09 - this is my ultimate colour that every woman should own.  It's a nude shade - which is perfect for day and to give it an evening glam look I recommend you add a darker shade lip liner. It also helps to give the illusion of a fuller lip.  There are a few reasons why I would highly recommend these colours or this particular Crayon Gloss:  1. High shine without lips feeling glupey or too sticky.  2. Easy to put on your lips and use with lip liner. 3. Gorgeous natural tones and various other colours in the range. 4. Easy to keep in your make up bag and definitely handy for a night out. 5. Exce...

Eyebrow game strong with KIKO

Image
 Whilst the whole world is going crazy over eyebrows and hashtags like "#onfleek" are trending everyday, it can get quite confusing which product to use! I only started shaping my eyebrows at the start of last year but I have been testing a lot of different ones and this one I had to share! At the moment I am a super fan of KIKO Milano cosmetics and each time I go in store I find something new I fall in love with. My latest purchase is their Eyebrow Sculpt Automatic pencil in 05. There are several reason why I am a super fan of this eyebrow product. 1. The colour 05 - I have fairly light eyebrows and I like to go a few shades darker. The deeper the brow the better. I have dark roots and brown eyes and I feel a darker brow gives my face more depth. 2. It is incredibly easy to use. I am able to draw my desired shape of brow and then fill it in for a thickeryet defined look. 3. Easy to carry around with you. A lot of eyebrow kits can be quite big and take up spa...
