Review: KIKO Lipstick

Hello Loveys,

Its been a rainy day in these parts of the UK, and its summer! I have a review for you today on the KIKO Lipstick, an Italian brand that have recently come to the UK.

KIKO, Italian, Pink, Gold, Lipstick, Creamy, Pigmentation, Colour, Cheap, Highstreet, Review, Swatch, Lips

The lipstick I chose was from the Life In Rio Exotic range which they released for spring summer. The range is bright and bold with a mixture of corals and pinks with gold metallic packaging, and as per usual I chose the pink- Voluptuous Pink. This lipstick is moisturising, it is creamy and has great pigmentation. I applied this and instantly fell in the love with the bold colour and the glide on creamy formula, it needed reapplying like most lipsticks, but is a lipstick I will be using again and again over the next few months.

Here is a swatch of the lipstick, such a pretty pink that can be built up to a deep colour that leaves your lips soft and dreamy.

Have you tried KIKO?

Review: Makeup Revolution Blusher and Highlighter!

Hello loveys,

So if you haven't already heard here is a new makeup brand on the scene Makeup Revolution, a brilliant affordable brand so on the bandwagon I went.

I purchased the powder blushes in Hot! and Treat! which is only...wait for it.....£1!! Hot powder blush is a hot shade of pink, bright and gorgeous, perfect for summer whilst Treat is a beautiful coral shade. The only thing that isn't great is the packaging which is quite flimsy and the lid can break away with ease but for £1 I am not going to complain. I swatched the blushes and couldn't believe the pigmentation so got straight to applying them to the apples of my cheeks, they applied with ease and you don't need a lot at all! I love that they are matte, I would highly recommend these as they are beautiful and feel high end rather then highstreet.

Hot!

Treat!

The next product is the highlighter in peach lights, a pretty highlighter that yet again is amazing for only £3.00, it has flimsy packaging but amazing pigmentation. Again, you don't need a lot and a little goes a long way. I adore this shade, it has a hint of peach running through it that highlights your cheekbones and brow bones beautifully, you also get a lot for your money! I would highly recommend this.

Would love your views! Thanks for reading.

Review Lacura Face Masks

Hi Loveys,

Here is my review on these two beauties, Lacura face masks which retail at £3.99 each, available from Aldi supermarkets.

Lacura Nutri Build-Up Face Mask

This mask is for all skin types, it claims to be an "intensive regeneration treatment" that "rebuilds skins protective barrier" and "maintains moisture levels and noticeable rapid suppleness".

This mask has a fruity scent which is cool and creamy, what I found surprising was the applicator, it is a brush which you twist to release some of the product and apply so no mess!

The mask was cooling and I left it on for 10 minutes, when I rinsed it off I found my skin was soft and bright. After two weeks of using this product I noticed my skin looking healthier and my complexion was clearer.

Lacura Anti-Fatigue Face Mask

This mask states it is an "intensive moisturising treatment" that "counteracts the signs of tiredness and refreshes skin" and claims it will give you a "bright and radiant complexion".

This was my favourite out of the two, a citrus scented product that was good enough to eat! I expected a white creamy formula like the above product, but instead a bright yellow cream came out of the brush. This mask is cool and creamy, it applies easy and I kept it on for 10 minutes. The product came off easily after I washed it off with luke warm water, after use this product had my skin feeling soft and hydrated. I used this mask for two weeks and found my skin looked brighter and refreshed. I would highly recommend these two masks, you cant go wrong with the price tag and the result is worth a place in my skincare routine!

Have you ever tried these masks? What is your favourite mask to use?

Review: Lacura Body Butter

Hi Loveys!

So as you can gather I am a lover of all things Lacura, the effectiveness, the price and the results are just right for me. Today is a review of the body butters that are now available in stores at Aldi supermarkets.

The body I am reviewing is the Shea butter scent, a sweet nutty scent that is super creamy. Lacura states the cream is a "luxurious and moisturising formulation containing Shea butter. This nourishing body butter with vitamin complex will help to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth".
This creamy consistency is moisturising and long lasting, the cream sinks into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue which I find with some body butters. My favourite body butter has always been The Body Shop, they retail around £11, this retails at £1.99, I was excited to try this but thought it would take a lot for me to be converted but oh my I have truly and honestly found my new holy grail body butter that left my skin feeling soft and smelling sweet! I would highly recommend this product, I can not wait to try the other scents available. I think if we did a blind test of high end to high street this would be mistaken for a high end product, it certainly does feel luxurious and does not match the £1.99 bargain price!
