Hey everyone! KIKO is an Italian makeup brand that is very popular, here in Portugal. Their products are definitely cheaper that high-end products and the quality of the products is very promising! Of course, like every other brand, it has its lows and highs. Today, I’m going to share one of my favourite products from KIKO and the one that I haven’t enjoyed much.
Mostly about face products, I’m quite picky since I can’t stand using heavy foundations or BB creams. A few months ago, I got KIKO’s BB cream, hoping that it would give me a little tan and some coverage. Unfortunately, the product didn’t really work for me… Everytime I use it I feel like my skin looks very unnatural and heavy (besides that fact of being a BB cream). Another negative aspect about it is the fact that it’s not a good base for your makeup at all. After applying it, I usually would put some concealer under my eyes. I don’t know if it’s only the combination of it with the Fit Me concealer by Maybelline, but those two don’t get along. The concealer gets really tricky to blend, leaving the unpleasant cakey effect. I eventually stopped using it, but I really hope at some point I will be able to use it…
Now on to my favourite makeup item: mascara! As I said before, I’m very picky and, if I don’t like a product I’m the first to admit. My idea of a perfect mascara is one that gives my lashes length, volume and sass!
I have been looking for the perfect mascara for ages and I think I finally found the one. I’m talking about the “Ultra Tech Curve” mascara. There isn’t a thing I dislike about this product. Everytime I use it, my lashes get super duper long and voluminous, without any clumps! The formula is also amazing! It isn’t too thick or too thin and the wand isn’t like the others I’m used to. First of all, it’s made of plastic (which isn’t my go-to wand at all!) and secondly, it’s curvy. At the beginning I was a bit intimidated about it but after sliding it through my lashes, that feeling vanished completely.
That being said, I must say, KIKO is a great brand and you can find amazing products for amazing prizes! Thanks so much for reading!
