NEW KIKO MILANO GOLD WAVES COLLECTION REVIEW

12:46:00

Hello angels,

So this is about 2 months back when I visited KIKO Milano store. It was the new limited edition collection called as GOLD WAVES which was been launched. It had complete face makeup collection from BRONZER, COMPACT POWDER, FOUNDATION, ILLUMINIZIER, LIPSTICKS, EYELINERS ETC.

Well I loved the fancy gold packaging it gave a complete luxurious feel to my eyes. I end up getting too many products from the collection Firstly it was bronzer in 03 SIENNA REFLECTION.

BRONZER

It comes in a large size compact with a integral mirror on one side. I am totally obsessed over the gold packaging. This shade is suitable for fair to medium skin tone. Warm brown which blends into skin effortlessly stay for 6-7 hrs without fading or smudging. There are no fall out while application. The texture of bronzer is smooth and it doesn’t contain any shimmer its like a matte bronzer which can be used for contouring face. Its highly pigmented formula giving good color pay off.

Another product was a highlighter in 02 a perfect golden rose color highlighter. It has 3d waves effect with silky texture. It gives a soft and subtle glow. For intense glow you can build up the formula. I loved the pigmentation of all the products it really stayed well for 5-6 hrs. The shade goes well on fair to medium skin tones. It has a delicate vanilla fragrance.
It is enriched with jojoba oil and illuminating pearls.

Coming to lipstick a semi matte formula it has 8 shades in this range. 05 embellishment tea rose is the shade I purchased. Again the gold stiletto with magnetic closure packaging gives it a luxurious brand feel. The lipsticks have a smooth texture and soft consistency like a balm. It gives semi matte finish. The pigmentation and color pay off is good. It gives medium opacity in one swipe. 05 shade is suitable for all skin tones it’s a mid tone rose pink shade. The formula doesn't smudge or bleed. Its a light weight formula which feels comfortable for long wear. It stays for 6 hrs transfers very little but needs touch up after meals. The formula starts fading away from centre of lips. These lipsticks are perfect to give you elegant fuller and opaque tone lips.

The most loved product is a Compact Powder Foundation which comes in a square gold case with a separate compartment for applicator and mirror on one side. There are 6 shades available in this range I got 01 FAIR which is light shade having warm undertones. It contains SPF 50 which makes it ideal for everyday use. Its a complete matte finish powder. The texture of the powder is soft and smooth blends easily into skin. Its highly pigmented and gives medium coverage. Can be used alone or over foundation for touch ups. It even helps to cover any dark spots. It doesn’t accentuate fine lines. It brightens my complexion and gives matte finish to skin. It doesn’t clog my pores though my tzone starts getting oily after 4 hrs. It can be used wet as well as dry. Its a water resistant formula and sweat proof too. The powder stays well for 6-7 hrs without any touch ups. Its a lightweight formula giving breathable skin. These velvety textured powder also gives a foundation touch to face. The shades are limited and so need to try them before buying it.

POWDER

Overall I loved the products I found them very exciting though the price of each product is similar to MAC products. But it was worth trying out. I have already used KIKO Milano products earlier and I always like using them. Its a limited edition collection so grab them before they go out of stock.

NEW L’OREAL GLAM BRONZE DUO POWDER IN 102 BRUNETTE HARMONY

01:45:00

Hello angels,

How is your week starting off ? I just need to escape Monday with some coffee and music. So coming to work last week I had post about some New L'Oreal products and coming to Glam bronze duo powder in 102 Brunette Harmony is what we going to talk about today.

This bronzer comes in a square plastic compact case with double level.

First one has a bronzer and highlighter second level has a mirror and brush for application of bronzer.

Firstly before i forget to mention it I loved this product its such a travel friendly compact bronzer cum highlighter. You can just carry them in your bag easily. I am personally fan of big disc shaped bronzers but this one just makes it so more easy. So now you can have a bronzer on the go. This bronzer has two levels as I described. So the first level has two powders one is bronzer and other is highlighter.

The highlighter shade is for highlighting cheekbones while the bronzer is for contouring. You can also combine both the shades and use as shimmery bronzer or blush.

I also liked the texture of powder its not gritty dry or too powdery but it blends well into skin. It doesn't clog my pores or give me any break outs. Doesn't give patchy or cakey look. Stays on well for 6-8 hrs. It doesn’t fade or disappear after few hrs like some of the products do. The shade is perfect for fair to medium skin tones. However medium tones may need to apply more to get a proper bronze effect while fair tones need very little. The bronzer has little sheen to it. NO visible shimmer particles in it. Pigmentation is good enough. The highlighter is lightly pigmented compared to bronzer. You need to apply more to get that glowy effect especially for lighter skin tones. While medium to deeper skin tones can carry it off well.

You can also used this duo powder on eyes for softer crease shadow and highlighting inner corner of eyes.

Overall this product doesn’t serve the purpose of contouring like other matte powders do but it’s a good travel friendly bronzer and highlighter. It looks like natural bronzer for some of the skin tones. The shades are warm and bit of orangey than brown. I would want the highlighter to be more pearly and having more sheen. I always keep it in my bag while travelling also it can transform your work look to party look when you have to carry only 1-2 makeup tools.

RECOMMENDED for girls who just want to start using bronzer or if you want something compact easy to apply easy to carry.

BRONZER HIGHLIGHTER AND COMBINED

NEW L’oreal GLAM BRONZE LA TERRA REVIEW

02:26:00

Hello beauty lovers,

As you all know that I was on a holiday and from my recent trip to UAE I found something new on l’oreal counters at Boots Pharmacy. I found this amazing Glam Bronze La Terra in shade 02 it was a full big disc size compact which looked so attractive. First of all I am totally loving bronzers dis days this is a perfect shade for fair to light skin tones. I love that it gives me sun kissed glow without making me look so tanned. Also I love using bronzers without any blushers or highlighters. Recently I have been using less of contouring powders and more of bronzers. I also use bobbi brown bronzing brick. Bronzers can be used on everyday basis it doesn’t appeal much like blush so I prefer using them often.

Also this compact had some engraved design on powder which made it more appealing. I didn’t seem like some drugstore brand although it felt more like some high end brand bronzer.

You need very little quantity as its too pigmented and if you fair to light skin you just need to take some on brush dust it and then apply it. So you wont end up looking muddy. This bronzers can be used for body also. It has long lasting power. Stays well even when used in humid weathers. Color pigmentation is excellent. First it looked like matte but it had very little flecks of glitter which helped in giving a natural sun kissed glow.

Most of the bronzers are cool tone matte brown and can be used for contouring but this one has orangish warm tones which makes it good to use as bronzer. When you are in hurry bronzer is easy to use rather than going for full contouring of face.

I highly recommend this bronzer especially for summers. Or if you love some sun kissed glowy skin for everyday. Its one of the best drugstore bronzers I have come across. Do let me know how you find them I would be happy to know?
TIP Did you know you can use bronzers under your eyes beneath concelar to correct dark circles also you can use to makeup your light concelar a perfect shade for you.

Hello girls,

Summer is here and I have got some of my current favourite products which I love to use them in this hot sunny days. So I will be reviewing each and evry product that’s on my current list. Keep reading about this products it may turn out to be your favourite too. My first very product in this list is Bahama Mama bronzer from The Balm cosmetics. The Balm cosmetics is very underrated brand but those who know them and have used their products will simply love them. I got introduced to this brand by its famous product called Mary-Lou Manizer which is like most favourite wanted highlighter. Well now the Bronzer have become their second best selling product they are great for summer days the just give you that perfect sunkissed glow . Lets begin with its packaging every product in this brand has a different and unique packaging compared to other brands . They all have a colourful bright packaging with animated pictures on it making it so attractive. I was so eager to buy all their products as i was simply in love with this kind of packaging. The bronzer comes in rectangular cardboard packaging which is like a mini note book with mirror on one side. It has magnetic opening they also have QR code on back for getting a tutorial on it. Its light weight and travel friendly.

Bahama mama is perfect cool tone brown color which can be used as bronzer or for contouring. It doesn’t contain any orange or red tones which makes it unique bronzer. As I am NW20 It looks more good when I contour with this rather than using it as bronzer.If you are more on pale side i may not suggest you to use this as bronzer it can end up looking too dark on your skin. But it can look great for medium to deep skin tones as bronzer. Its quite pigmented and just one or two swipes is enough. I personally don’t like heavy contouring OR highly pigmented bronzers so this one seems to be perfect for me. What I love is that it did not contain shimmer it looks like matt powder but still had that sheen when applied on cheeks. Other thing about this powder is that it blends in my skin perfectly without making it look patchy its even good on dry skin. Well it’s a long lasting product stays on for whole day and according to its price it’s a high end quality product. And it will last you for a very long time.

So girls just try out for this product its something new to add in your list than usual bronzers. You will enjoy this sunkissed look for your summer outings.
