KIKO WATER EYESHADOW


So, I have a new obsession.. read on.




I have heard so many great things about KIKO and never purchased anything. I went into one of their stores in San Sebastian, Bilbao and still didn't buy anything. Cyber Monday I bit the bullet.

I did a haul post which is below this so you can see the goodies. I was so excited about these eye shadows. I'm not sure if these were out before or after the NARS Dual Intensity shadows but they get compared to them a lot. 


Just look. Oh man so so pretty. I did not want to touch these and ruin them haha. Too pretty. 




219 is a gorgeous peach, pink shimmer but it's not overly shimmery. It would be a NARS Orgasm for the eyes only darker and more peachy. The swatches are dry swatches but they can be used wet to give a more metallic vibe. I was weary it wouldn't suit my skin tone because I am fair but it looks amazing especially with some black liner and a cool toned crease. 

203 is a burgundy brown colour that has a slight sheen to it but it's not obvious on the lid. The camera has done it no justice because on the lid, I am in love with it. It's dark but doesn't veer to the brown side to make it dull. It is very comparable to the Pantone 2015 colour, Marsala. 

I was quite pleased that they weren't chunky and that they did indeed blend nicely. I used both of them one night as an ombre effect and both wet, WOW oh wow. So stunning. I have yet to try them without a primer but I use the KIKO Pearl Eye Base which is perfect. 

They are on sale for £4.90 at the moment from the website, click here. Which is a steal. The shipment comes from Milan but it super fast and you can follow it through UPS. 

Go get them people!! Xox

NYX Face Off: Soft Matte Lip Cream vs Butter Gloss

Image
Want to know what I think is better from popular brand NYX? I am a huge fan of NYX. I love that whilst they have some dupes for higher end products they have a tonne of their own original products. The Soft Matte Lip Creams are an almost moussey feeling lip cream. I mean they don't call it a cream for nothing. I would highly recommend using a lip balm previous to applying this product. It dries matte so if there are any dry patches, it will sink into them. Whilst on the lips I would let it dry and apply as many coats as you like. I would typically use two. Whilst the colour is a vibrant hot pink (Addis Ababa) it can be sheered out to your preference. I find that these stay on the lips for up to four hours. Now, I have heard a lot about the hyped Butter Glosses. When NYX was released in Ireland earlier this year I decided to try one. I gave into the hype (oh no!). There was quite a selection but opted for Peaches and Cream, a gorgeous pinky coral. I hadn't and sti

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Image
Hello loves,  Well I have a different kind of post today. It is about my acne and a product I tested to try help it out.  I mentioned this in my Top 5 LUSH products post just this week. It is one of a kind. I am about to share some rather honest pictures so look away if you're easily offended.  My skin is oily in the t-zone area and can be dry elsewhere. It is also quite sensitive and I have redness on my jawline that can sometimes be quite visible. I use to have acne prone skin when I was a teenager and into my early 20's.  I will link to the LUSH website where you can see ingredients etc at the end.  I had noticed several blackheads on my face and really didn't want them to sit there and become worse so I decided to try this product. It straight away smells like Witch Hazel and Tea Tree which I like, it's an almost clean smell. It feels like a gel and as it dries you can feel it tighten over the designated area. This disappears when yo

Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' Review

Image
Good Afternoon, Well it has been a minute since I done a review here. I will explain in a post next week where I have been and all that. So, I have always been a huge fan of the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is my absolute favourite eyelid primer. Nothing compares to it BUT I needed to try some more high end primers as my curiosity was getting the better of me. I saw some mixed reviews for this Benefit product, like seriously mixed reviews. Sometimes that is the selling point on a product, you have to find out what it's like then. They have two shade varieties, light/medium and medium/deep. What Benefit say about this product 'This dual-action power primer works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT. Concealers don't crease, eyeshadows stay vibrant & true. Contains sodium hyaluronate known to hydrate and Vitamins C & E known to help fight signs of aging.' When I first wore this product my expectat
