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 LAKME 9 TO5 NATURALE RANGE

01:18:00

Hello angels,

Today I am going to review New Lakme 9 to 5 Natural Range which is a first ever range that contains goodness of aloe vera, honey and green tea. I love using makeup even on daily basis. When you find a product which not only enhances your beauty but also nourishes your skin you would definitely want to try them out. So I got 3 products from the entire range FINISHING LOOSE POWDER, MATTE LIPSTICK & GEL LINER. What I missed out on was a Aloe Aqua Gel a gel based moisturizer & foundation drops.

All products come in a green & rose gold plastic packaging which resembles natural ingredients like aloe vera.

Lakme 9 to5 Naturale finishing powder comes in only one shade. This shade is suitable for all skin tones. Its a translucent loose powder with green tea and aloe vera extract. It’s a light weight formula and does not have any coverage. It doesn’t contain any fragrance. This powder has little sheen to it like most of the mineral powders have. It gives soft matte finish to skin. It brightens my face and looks fresh glowy when applied over foundation. I usually use it on my makeup but you can also use these powder without any base. It gives flawless application and keeps your skin oil free for 4-5 hrs. It does not enhance your pores or fine lines. Also it doesn’t cling to dry patches or settle into fine line.

PRICE 550/-INR

LAKME 9 TO5 GEL KAJAL BLACK comes as a intense black kajal in a pot which also can be used as a liner. The product comes in a small jar with a brush for application. It can be used to create wing liner or as a kohl on waterline. It’s a waterproof & smudge proof formula. It stays well for 7-8 hrs even if your eyes are watery or your lids are oily this liner will stay without budging. It doesn’t fade or flake. It comes of easily with makeup remover. Its highly pigmented formula. It gives effortless application without having to drag or pull.

PRICE 400/-INR

Lastly Lakme 9 to5 Naturale Matte lipsticks choosing from 15 gorgeous shades was a task but I made it to three and they are Plum local, Crimson town & Blush site. These lipsticks are in a form of stick which is in green and rose gold packaging also you don’t need to sharpen them. They are semi matte in texture and have hint of shimmer. It contains goodness of aloe vera and honey. All shades are rich, vivid and vibrant. They are highly pigmented one swipe gives a complete coverage. Color pay off is excellent. The texture is creamy which gives even application. The formula is nondrying. However if your lips are too dry it can settle into fine lines and also accentuate them. It does contain sweet fragrance which doesn’t last.

It stays well for 6-7 hrs doesn’t transfer much and survives meals. It doesn’t bleed or smudge.

CRIMSON TOWN it’s a beautiful red with blue undertones. I simply love this shade it looks gorgeous on fair skin tones.

BLUSH SITE it’s a bright candy pink shade with hint of shimmer. These shade is perfect for summers and for Sunday brunch.

PLUM LOCAL it’s a mid tone plum shade suitable for all skin tones.

Overall I liked the entire collection. I am looking forward to try CC CREAM and ALOE Skin moisturiser from this range. All products are reasonably priced and are easily available.
