Kiko Sun Lovers Blush - Copacabana Coral

When I was in Sicily earlier this month for my Brother's wedding I discovered a Kiko store in the gorgeous town of Taormina and thought it would be rude to just walk past! I popped inside and picked up three great products.. Other reviews shortly! The new Brazil collection was available, as soon as I saw the blushes I knew I wouldn't be leaving the store without owning one!!..... after a good ten minutes of swatching and a very grumpy husband.. I settled on 02 Copacabana Coral a stunning multi-toned shimmer blush, as you can see from my photos it's Beautiful! Even the packaging is beautiful it's a golden keepsake with a very convenient mirror inside.

The light, comfortable texture helps sculpt the face and outline features with a radiant, even effect. Silky touch and long lasting performance. The blush is divided into two parts: one part has a single full colour while the other half encloses a different combination of shades. Thanks to special technology, one product combines two effects obtained by blending together or using separately. One single solution many different, original finishes. Has splendid touches of light that can be recreated on the skin with patterns and creativity. 

I've only tried a couple of products from this brand as there are no store near me and like all Beauty Bloggers I NEED to swatch before purchasing, so am not keen on buying make up blind from their website..It's a lovely brand, there products are a little dearer than high street priced at £14.90 but cheaper than High end, from the products I've tried they are great quality.

Have you tried Kiko?

Kiko Neon Glow Light Effect Serum

Neon Glow Light Effect Serum from the current Dark Heroine collection. Is a limited edition product that comes in a very glamorous box and inside is Something quite beautiful! An innovative breakthrough in cosmetics, brightness renewal serum for an immediately more radiant complexion. An exclusive solution that combines the moisturizing and smoothing properties of a gel with the brightening effect of the reflective particles contained in its internal helix. As the serum is dispensed, the gel combines with the luxurious pearls. 

The product is packaged in a transparent container in which the spiral of the purest pearls is suspended in a soft, transparent gel. The serum performs a complete action. The efficient technological packaging dispenses the two textures in a perfect mix.

Its formula is effective, containing ingredients to help revive the skin’s natural splendor and to prevent skin aging. The components of the gel act together with the full bodied, multi reflective pearlescent texture to provide elegant radiance to the skin. 

The face rediscovers a young and smooth appearance for a radiant glow throughout the day. Easy to apply for immediately visible radiance. Its effective formula massages the face with a revitalizing and intense action.

Once blended out on the skin it is a little shimmery, but when you put your foundation on top the effect is magical. It turns the shimmer aspect into a gorgeous luminous glow. It is not a primer, in that it won't mask your pores or promise to help your make up stay put longer, but it makes a lovely smooth base for your foundation. Leaving you with a lovely dewy 'Lit from within' finish.

The Kiko Neon Glow Light Effect Serum is £13.90 and is available from the Kiko website.

Generous Earth Palette by Kiko Cosmetics

limited edition palette with 6 innovative shades of wet & dry eyeshadow to blend, combine and layer as desired, for sophisticated and irresistible looks by KIKO.

Colour Party Palette Wet & Dry Eyeshadow combines colours with numerous finishes - pearly, metallic and satiny - for countless make up creations.

The double-ended applicator provided allows you to choose between a thinner or a thicker line and to adapt the intensity of the colour. 

When used dry, it gives an even and radiant effect; when wet, the colour becomes richer, more intense and has greater coverage.

Its innovative, radiant formula adheres perfectly to the skin, providing maximum coverage, with either wet or dry colour.

Matte textures are combined with pearly textures to create different looks every time with tone-on-tone or contrasting colours.

This palette caught my attention because it is composed of five matte shades. This palette immediately reminded of the new Urban Decay Naked Basics, itself composed of five makeup matte and iridescent. The difference between the two is the tones as Kiko range has more pinkish while Naked Basics has more shades of brown shades.

It is a great Palette with very Sturdy almost heavy packaging but oh so pretty! Even though I do find myself forever rubbing off my Fingerprints....

Available in 4 limited edition colour combinations. rrp is £16.90 from their Website.

Are you going brighter this Summer or sticking with neutrals?
