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 MAYBELLINE MASTER STROBING LIQUID REVIEW

09:59:00

Hello beautiful girls,

Today I have something exciting for you yes it’s a latest launch from Maybelline something which every girl wants it… MASTER STROBING LIQUID You heard it right make your Strobing game strong with drugstore liquid highlighter. I can totally live without bronzers blushers but not without a highlighter.

Long time I haven’t used a liquid highlighter this highlighter comes in a black and silver metallic tube. It has a nozzle to dispense the product.

You need very little quantity and just dab it with your finger on to the cheekbones. This highlighter is available at very affordable price. There are two shades available LIGHT/IRIDESCENT and DEEP GOLD.

I choose light /iridescent which I thought is more suitable for my fair skin tone.

Now this liquid illuminator has lots of glitter particles which almost after application feels like a going to disco or parties. Its stronger than any other highlighter. If you really desire for getting the glow like pro you should try this out.

Its super blendable and lasts for as long as you want. It sets in to give you high sheen. This liquid highlighter can also be use as a base for foundation to get a glowing skin.

Light iridescent is more like a pearl with pinkish silver glitter. This highlighter can be used by all skin types. If you have enlarged pores this illuminator can make it look worse.

If you like to have a dewy skin just mix few drops into moisturizer and apply on to skin. This also can be used as a brightening primer for dry and dull skin.

The highlighter is in liquid form and once it blends it dries in just few sec and once it sets in it doesn’t transfer or smudge.

I liked the formula texture and everything about this Master Strobing Liquid .

I am absolutely in love with this and I would recommend every girl to try this out. Well Medium to darker skin tone can opt for deep gold while lighter skin tones can go for light iridescent shade.
When compared to L'oreal LUMI liquid illuminator I liked Maybelline more because Loreal gives subtle and softer glow then Master strobing liquid.

BENEFIT

Discover the illuminating strobe effect. Now, in a micro-pearl liquid formula for all-over highlighting! Strobe to add glow and to create the look of skin that appears radiant as if lit from within.

PRICE 565 INR/- 6GBP

NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH LUMI POWDER ILLUMINATOR ROSE REVIEW

01:20:00

Hello angels,

If you have read my previous post where I was talking about LOREAL TRUE MATCH LIQUID ILLUMINATOR likewise today I will review NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH LUMI POWDER ILLUMINATOR IN ROSE.

I always love using drugstore illuminators and bronzers. L’oreal has some amazing range of highlighters and contouring powders. These highlighter comes in square shaped rose colored see through compact with a brush and full size mirror. The compact is travel friendly and can be used on the go..

This highlighter consists of 4 shades which you can use them individually as well as together. You can also use them to highlight inner corner of your eyes and brow points.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Highlight Key Features or Illuminate All-Over. Lightweight Formula. For every skin tone and undertone. The ultimate luminosity. L’Oréal Paris introduces its first powder highlighter specifically crafted to highlight key features or illuminate all-over. Designed in Golden, Rose, and Ice shades that flatter every skintone from warm to neutral to cool. Golden Illuminator enhances peachy or yellow tones in warm skintones. Rose Illuminator enhances yellow, peachy, pink or blue tones in neutral skintones. Ice Illuminator enhances pink or blue tones in cool skin tones.

This highlighter is basically powder so the texture definitely feels little drier when applied on skin. It blends well but only if you don’t have dry skin. It can accentuate dry patches. Also it doesn’t look good when you apply over matte foundation. The powder is finely milled and all of the shades are pretty good. it also contains fine shimmer particles which gives that glowy look. It looks better when applied on liquid illuminator. This highlighter shade will work for lighter skin tones having cool OR neutral undertones.

It doesn't fade or smudge around stays well for 4-5 hrs. It doesn't accentuate my pores. I have used better powder highlighters and for me this doesn't work completely. Although the quantity of the product is much when compared to price of it. Also I didn’t like some of the shades had that chunky silver glitter which looked obvious on skin. Pigmentation is fair enough so is the color pay off. I would want them to be more intense. You have too take enough product on your brush for getting that glow. Or else you can take little product and apply them over your liquid illuminators. This will completely enhance your look. also I would wish for the formula to have a little more softer and creamier feel. The formula is ultralight and doesn't feel like you have applied one.

Overall I may recommend this product for its affordable price and for the beginners who really want a good drugstore highlighter. I wouldn’t recommend for dry skin as it can look patchy. There is lot of fallouts when trying to apply the product with brush. I loved the liquid version more but the powder is good when you really have good base and well hydrated skin.
Have you tried them yet? let me know which one is better liquid or powder?
