It has been a long time that these pictures were waiting to be up on my blog from KIKO MILANO. Now, this is one brand which I think comes at an affordable price when it comes about comparing their regular products and limited edition products of high-end brands. This brand can easily compete with MAC. So, today I am up with swatches of my one of favorite highlighter along with a miracle product(3in1 product) and with two new lipsticks that I picked recently.
So let's start with the highlighter. The highlighter is from VALENTINE COLLECTION OF 2019. It is pretty dupeable one but the packaging and shape of the highlighter look so tempting that I grabbed it in Valentine. The dupe of this highlighter is already mentioned in my DUPE LIST HIGHLIGHTER POST here
SMART RADIANCE CREAM 3 IN 1:- This is actually a primer come moisturizer come highlighter. A perfect cream highlighter for winter. One can use it mixed with foundation or as a highlighter on cheeks. It gives a subtle glow which looks awesome with daily makeup.
Price:- Rs.1750/- Available:- In 2 shades. I pick shade 03 GLOWING ROSE.
KIKO MILANO VELVET PASSION LIPSTICKS:-
Moving on to the lipsticks. The two lipsticks that I picked are from their KIKO MILANO VELVET PASSION LIPSTICK range. These lipsticks are from a regular range of lipsticks of KIKO MILANO.
Price:- Rs.1050/- for 3.5g. Expiry:- 4 years from the year of manufacture.
Availability:- KIKO MILANO STORE IN DLF MALL OF INDIA (read the review of the store here)
Packaging:-
The lipstick comes in the beautiful silver-gray metal and rose gold combo color case. It shut down with a magnetic closure, thus it is secure in your travel bag. The shape of the tip of the bullet is square which is a little unusual. The lipstick comes out in a twist up the pattern (who don't know that?...silly me...). The embossing of the initials of the brand "KIKO" on the lipstick made it look really classy and royal.
KIKO MILANO VELVET PASSION LIPSTICK is the matte range of lipstick from the brand KIKO MILANO. It is the most comfort matte lipsticks that I pick after a long time. Coming to the pigmentation part, the lipstick has awesome pigmentation as one swipe is enough to get the actual color. The bullet of the lipstick has a square tip which creates a little bit problem while applying the lipstick on my thin lips, so I prefer using lip brushes to apply the lipstick on my lip line edges. The lipstick glides super smoothly and the texture is satin which turns into semi-matte after some time of application of lipstick. The lipstick doesn't turn out true matte which causes drying of lips. It is comforting matte lipstick that transfers a bit in your glass or cups while drinking drinks.
The staying power of lipsticks is 5 hours with a little bit of transfer. It fades evenly and leaves an even stain on your lips that can be carried one more hour in that way but I personally prefer to re-touch after the meal. It doesn't hydrate your lips either moisturize your lips but stays nicely on your lips without making your lips dry. The lipstick is actually perfect matte for dry lips people as it turns out comfortable matte on them.
I applied the lipstick without lip liner for testing and found that it slightly smudge after a meal, so the proper lining of lips is suggested before the application of lipstick.
Over in all, I quite like the lipstick, they are pocket-friendly compare to all international brands that we have in India. Moreover, it is not true matte but a comfort matte lipstick that I can happily wear in winter too.
So that's all for today. See you in my next post. Love Sammy :*
So finally I take out time and up with KIKO SPARKLING HOLIDAY COLLECTION review and swatches.
DESCRIPTION:-
Gift yourself a moment of pure magic with the new SPARKLING HOLIDAY collection by KIKO MILANO. A line full of surprises, designed to put you in the holiday spirit - whatever look you desire.
Bring a sparkle to one of the most magical moments of the year:
★ Shimmering and metallic finishes
★ Precious formulas, enriched with gold
★ A modern allure and the perfect makeup for any occasion
The collection focused on the golden kind of metallic packaging. I really like the packaging as it gives holiday vibes. The outer carton box of all products is metallic golden while the product itself comes in a metallic silver packaging. The eyeshadow and highlighter have a beautiful self-design which makes the products looks gorgeous and classy.
MY EXPERIENCE:-
Starting with the lipstick, it is comfortable, ultra-matte finish lipstick. It glides super smoothly on my lips and blurs outs my fine lines of lips. The lipstick is super pigmented. One or two swipe is just enough to get the opaque coverage. It stays pretty 6 hours on my lips. I wish I picked two more shades from this range :(
Moving to eyeshadow now, there was 5/6 eyeshadow in this collection but I picked shade 01 only which is a beautiful metallic golden eyeshadow. The eyeshadow had a few glitters in it for which made the eyeshadow looks glittery when applied on eyelids. The Eyeshadow works great with fingers or wet brush. A perfect eyeshadow for everyone, every occasion.
Lastly the highlighter, I picked up shade 01 again. The highlighter looks almost the same as eyeshadow in the pan but in reality, both are different. The highlighter has subtle shimmers in it while the eyeshadow is glittery.
So, overall I love this KIKO MILANO HOLIDAY COLLECTION as they really pretty and definitely very good quality.
So that's all for today. See you in my next post. Love Ya! Sammy :*
Hi, Finally, the festival of lights is here and we all are decking up ourselves in shimmers and glitters. Whether that is in our dress or in our makeup. So today I am up with 2 best glitter eyeshadows that you can try out in this festive season.
So Kiko Milano launched a new range of eyeshadow known as "GLITTER SHOWER EYESHADOW" in 8 or 10 shades. Shade Description:-
I picked 2 shades from this range.
Shade 02:- A rose gold glitter eyeshadow.
Shade 04:- A golden eyeshadow.
Price:- Rs.1050/- each for 2g. Available:- Kiko online store.
Packaging:-
The GLITTER SHOWER EYESHADOW comes in a square magnetic case with a transparent lid. One can see the shade from outside.
My Experience:-
The GLITTER SHOWER EYESHADOW are glitter eyeshadows which don't need glue during application. They easily stick to lid whenever you applied it with fingers. The eyeshadows work best with fingers, not with brushes. They stick to your eyelid pretty well and stays intact for 5-6hours without having any primer and with primer, they go a little longer. There is very minimal fallout during application so in short, these are mess free glitter eyeshadow.
DownPoint:-
The GLITTER SHOWER EYESHADOW are little expensive. The shadows are available on Kiko stores only not online.
Overall, the GLITTER SHOWER EYESHADOWS are the best glitter shadows if you are looking for some in this festive season.
So that's all for today. See you in my next post. Love Sammy :*
Hey everyone, Today I am up with all the lipstick swatches from the brand Kiko Milano. The detail of each lipstick is already up as a post in my blog. Head over to the blog to see more.
Hey everyone, Kiko Milano is a brand that just launched its store in India a few months back. From that launching time till now I always love to check out this brand occasionally for their latest launch. Recently Kiko Milano has launched a limited edition collection named as "ACTIVE FLUO CAPSULE COLLECTION". Active Fluo was created by fashion designer Arthur Arbesser.
The collection has a variety of products among which I picked up only two lipsticks (blame my lipstick addiction).
The price of lipsticks:- Rs.890/- each for 3.5g. These are right now on sale in stores. I grabbed both the lipsticks in sale in an amount of Rs.563/- approx.
Here is little info about the ACTIVE FLUO CAPSULE COLLECTION:- Neon effect make-up with pop colors. A fun, high-performance make-up. Energy, dynamism, and irony.
Introducing Active Fluo, the third KIKO MILANO capsule collection, created by fashion designer Arthur Arbesser. The designer has created a unique collection that combines bold graphic motifs, patterns, and colors with clean, minimalist shapes.
The make-up is vibrant and the fluo colors brimming with energy, for looks that steal the show. The passion, energy and technical performance inherent in sports are revived in specific products designed to maximize make-up hold. Comfort is at all times a must.
In addition to designing the Active Fluo product packaging, Arthur Arbesser has also designed a playful, summery pochette and a handy smartphone holder to take with you while playing sports.
Packaging:- As the collection is a neon based shades inspiration kind off, so the packaging is also very neon-ish and colorful. Both the lipstick comes in same outer carton box and lipstick case that match with the lipstick shade inside. So one can guess the shades from outside seeing the box or lipstick case. The lipstick opens up with a twist on the pattern.
Shade Description:- I picked up two shades. They are 01 and 02. 01 a beautiful reddish coral shade. 02 is a beautiful neon pink shade.
My experience:-
Both the shades are matte in texture, pigmented and glides super smoothly on lips. The lipstick doesn't bleed in long wearing and it stays matte for hours. The Lipstick has a mild plastic smell which one can only smell only during applying the lipsticks. The smell vanishes immediately after application so thankfully it doesn't effect my sensitive nose. Both the shades are neon and they will go perfectly on fair skin tone beauties. The lipsticks stay pretty 5 hours on my lips. It fades a bit with time. The lipstick doesn't stain my lips and so when it fades a touch up is needed.
Down Point:-
Now, this is the only down point of the collection that as it is a neon based makeup collection and it launched in India, which is a land of beautiful warm skin tone and tan beauties. And so the collection is not so hit like they usually have with other collection (say Valentine "Matte 4 you "collection). Otherwise, it is a very colorful, neon and attractive collection to grab.
That's all for today. I will see you soon in some other post. Love Sammy :*
