KIKO Deco Delight Lipstick 04 & 05

I was entering KIKO store in Milano Centrale like a kid entering candy store. Yes, that's exactly how I feel 6 months ago. I heard a lot of good things abouth this brand, so when I travelled to Milan, I was so excited to find KIKO store and spending money there. 

I did not do research in their web or planning what I want to buy before. I was going to try every one of them and buy anything I like (How naive! LOL). When I first arrived in Milano Centrale, I didn't know there is KIKO store until we going down by escalator looking for ATM and I saw it! Yas!

Without a doubt, I asked my husband to wait for me in a food court upstairs while enjoying a cup of coffee and a bowl of pasta. I ran with only €50 in my hand to my candy store. I leave my bag and my wallet with my husband so I would not empty our money pocket. Lol.

I left with a bagfull of things and few coins. I shared my thought of some of them here (Colour Correction Face Fixing Powder , Ultimate Pen Long Wear Eyeliner). I never saw this Deco Delight series before but it is uber cute and it is on 50% off! Paid €3.90 each, I bought two shades that I'm comfortable with.

The packaging is cute and standard. The case is a sturdy plastic in purple colour with polkadots decorative. The packaging box is made from transparent plastic but I already throw it away before my flight back home. The product itself has vanilla scent that is luckily not too strong and also decorated with cute polkadots. 

Deco Delight series is meant for summer. The color range is so fresh and reminds me of tropical weather. 

It is not a long lasting lipstick but quite comfortable for daily use. It does not dry my lips. In the end of the day it even does not leave stain on my lips. The finish is glossy, shiny and very sheer but buildable. To get the coverage like in the picture I have to push a bit harder to my arm. And to get coverage like in my lipswatch, I applied twice.

04 Passion Daiquiri is a gorgeous coral and very sheer

05 Mango Twist is a bright pink and a bit more opaque than 04. 

Overall, they are so cute and comfortable for day use. The shades are girly and suitable for teenager to young adult. It is so sheer and easily gone, so better to bring for touch up.

Kiko Colour Correction Face Fixing Powder

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she beautiful? She is KIKO Milano Colour Correction Face Fixing Powder. Have you heard much about colour correction products? Yes they are always colourful and beautiful. Each colour will have its own function and when it blended well, they will even your skintone and makes your skin appears better.

The packaging is modern. It is a sturdy white plastic on the bottom part and mirrory lid for the top. It is embellished with the KK logo on the lid and features a magnetic closure and internal mirror. It is slightly bigger and thicker than my compact powder but not that big or heavy so basically you can bring this inside your pouch for later touch up.

This rainbow powder is designed to improve and revitalize the complexion, conceal redness and skin discolouration and set make-up improving its hold.

I bought it in Milano Centrale in late August and put in my luggage. Then 5 days later while in Schliersee, I want to take it out for more pics and the powder is already everywhere inside the packaging box. Yeah, the packaging box is really thin and the gap between powder and the lid is quite wide for fragile items with nothing in between. 

I should put tissue or cotton back then. It might be not strong enough to follow me crossing two countries in five days. Lol.. Luckily the messy part is just a small part of the beige, I tried to press it again using my fingertip. After that I put tissue for safety reason before closing the lid and it is perfectly safe until now, a month later and across 8 countries. Below is the only pic I have with the perfect condition, taken in Milano Centrale 5 minutes after purchasing.

The powder is soft and has light texture. Sometimes correcting powder feels like too pigmented, this one is not. I should heavily pressed the powder and  swatch two times to make it visible in the picture. The texture is bit powdery but could blend well onto skin. It is mild enough to use as all over face powder if picked using brush and pigmented enough as a subtle highlighter if applied using finger.

I have no problem using it during my holiday. But again, the weather there is so nice. I took these picture during my holiday but not post it yet until I can try it in Indonesia which has humid weather for more testing.

The picture above is one hours after application. You can see that my complexion is better and my skin looks brighter. I don't find it extend the life of make up on my face too much. But luckily it is not drying on me. It does not contain paraben and non comedogenic.

This one is after 7 hours without touch up. Not bad eh? In Indonesia it only last for 4 hours before I need to reapply. Not so special but definitely not bad for the price and for 6.5grams of product.

Thank you for reading guys..

KIKO Ultimate Pen Long Wear Eyeliner

Hello from Kuala Lumpur! I arrived yesterday after long flight from Amsterdam and now I think I'm having jet lag. LOL.. Instead of scrolling through instagram and drooling over any latest collection, I prefer to write a review for you.

This eyeliner is from KIKO Milano. I bought this in Milano Centrale for €6.90 in the end of July. I run out of my Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er in mid of August, so luckily I've already bought this one.

You get 1ml inside which is twice as much as Stila Eyeliner Pen and Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er which is 0.5ml each. The pen is in black color and slightly slimmer than Stila if I'm not mistaken. I'm still away from home so I could not compare.

When you look at the first picture above, the tip of this pen is quite sharp and application is easy. Below is the swatch of the product. You can make thin line to bold wings easily. It has matte finish.

What about the performance? Well so far so good when the weather is good. I mean, this is long wear but I find it easily smudge when you scrub with water (I'll post video in instagram soon). As long as you are not easily sweating, this one is good enough. Just make sure you're not rubbing your eyes when sweating. Blot using tissue, it will be okay.

I even wear this for country to country travel in Europe and have no problem with this. Citywalk, city transport, country to country bus, train, flight, you name it, this baby has gone through it all. 

Below is the picture when we were in Praha, eating Trdelnik after few hours walk in city center. I don't wear much make up while on the road and don't have any close up picture wearing it yet. (Just wait until I get home guys!).

And if you want to make it more long staying, just put your best primer on. It helps! I'm currently using Urban Decay Primer Potion and find it not as easily removed compared than without using primer. 

Well, I don't know if I will repurchase or not since we don't have KIKO counter in Indonesia and not many local seller selling this eyeliner. But I don't have any regret buying it.

Thank you for reading! Have a good day (or night here) ^_^
