KIKO Make Up Milano Haul

I recently got back from holiday in beautiful Tuscany in Italy and unsurprisingly went on many shopping trips across the towns and cities of Lucca, Florence and Viareggio. I've been to this part of the world for the past three years now and fell in love with the make up store KIKO. They have lovely products for such affordable prices - and this year I splurged out a little.

Here's a link to the KIKO Cosmetics website: http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk
Unfortunately, there aren't any stores in the UK but I believe they do ship worldwide. Definitely worth checking out the website!

KIKO Ultra Glossy Stylo Lipsticks 
RRP. €4.90 each

Shades 803 (left) and 804 (right). 
I am just in love with these lipsticks. They are so creamy and moisturising and although they aren't ridiculously pigmented, I like this as you can build the colour up to just how you want it. I've previously used up a whole 803 and am so happy to have a new one! It's the perfect everyday pink. I also picked up 804 as I loved the rosy/red tone of it and can't wait to try it out on a going-out look.
  

KIKO Creamy Lipgloss
RRP. €6.90

Shade 102.
I'm really loving stick lip balms lately after going through a phase with Clinique's chubby sticks (my fav being a lovely nude - No.9 Heaping Hazelnut), so was dying to give KIKO's creamy lip glosses a try. I picked this nudey-pink shade in 102 although for some reason the photo makes it look like it has more orangey tones. After one go I can reveal that it's a gorgeous colour that I feel will go with many looks. It's also very moisturising although similar to the lipsticks, they're not that pigmented.

KIKO Soft Touch Blush
RRP. €7.50

Shade 108.
As you can probably tell from the photo, I haven't used this blusher just yet but I am dying to! I don't own a peachy shade so grabbed this one to give it a go. As I have a nice tan at the minute, I feel that this shade will look lovely with bronzed skin and blend really nicely with contour.

KIKO Gel Look Ultra Glossy Effect Top Coat

RRP. €3.50

I've been going to professional nail bars to have acrylics on my nails for around two years now. I've never had naturally long nails so don't really mind too much that my nails are basically ruined thanks to having them done so often. I always have clear tips put on so that I can pick colours and reapply different ones if I get bored over the weeks between getting infills. The only thing, however, is that I can never manage to get a really nice finish to them with the top coats I usually use. It's as if the nail bars use some sort of magical top coat to make them look so immaculate AND long lasting! I discovered this product as I was rummaging around the stalls and had to give it a go. The idea of a 'gel look' will hopefully make my nails look (as it says on the tin) 'ultra glossy'… so fingers crossed and I'll get back to you on that one!
