Kiko Cream Crush.

For ages, I have seen Youtubers and Beauty Bloggers raving about Kiko and I have wanted to try their products, but just never gotten round to it. On a recent trip to Nottingham, I noticed a new Kiko store, so of course I had to go in. I chose a Cream Crush Lasting Colour Eyeshadow in the shade 01 -Pearly Vintage Rose. The Kiko Website (http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk/) describes this product as "Highly blendable, long-lasting cream eyeshadow. The silky and soft texture goes on easily for bold eye make-up that stays on for up to 10 hours. The formula applies perfectly to the eyelids and feels weightless. The bright shades with velvety finishes add a touch of style to every look."

A very cute little package!

The gorgeousness of the colour doesn't show on camera.

Such a beautiful shimmer.

I definitely agree with the description which is given on the Kiko website, this cream eyeshadow is a lovely creamy consistency which glides on with ease. It is beautifully subtle on its own but would also make a perfect base for a bolder eyeshadow look. I have also used this product as a brow bone highlight and it looked fab. I already know that this cream eyeshadow will be become one of my staple makeup pieces, it's quick and easy to apply but looks gorgeous. I will definitely purchase more of these Kiko Cream Eyeshadows.

Have you ever used Kiko?

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation; My Thoughts...

Well, I am converted! L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation is the HOLY GRAIL of foundations. At first, I was concerned by the slightly runny consistency, but the consistency of the foundation actually helped for it to blend onto my skin nicely. The colour match is perfect for my pale skin, there is no "tide mark" round my jawline. (I got shade 10 Porcelain). Now usually, I use two concealers and foundation to cover my dark circles, but as you can see from the photo, my dark circles are barely visible with just the foundation! The coverage is high, which I like and it is definitely build-able. However, even though the coverage is high, the foundation feels light on your skin. I honestly feel like I've got no makeup on at all, it's weightless.

After using this product, I can now see why it has received so many excellent reviews online. I will definitely be recommending this foundation to everyone! 

Have you tried any new products recently?
