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.
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.
