Hello Kiko

Hi Guys,

I'm in Spain and as my family know about my nail addiction, my auntie thoughtfully showed me this Italian cosmetics brand Kiko. They have thousands of colours for only £1.50! Not only that, they have loads of make up and cosmetics for really good prices too! 

They have everything from concealer to blue mascara and their moto is 'be who you want' which is quite nice.


Below are a few of my favourites from them and the colours that I bought. 

Something I've never seen before to test nail varnishes is putting out cellotape for the customers to tear off, put on their arm or hands and paint some of the colours on to it to see what they look like, really good idea.



I've seen crackle before but not in wacky colours, so I got two to try out.


This says magnetic but its metallic pink, a cool shiny silver affect mixed with the colour.


And these three bold colours. I got some shades that I'm missing from my collection at the moment to make it a bit more complete. I really love the orange.


And here are a few of my favourite make up bits. 

Glossy Eye Pencil  
£5.20
Soft Focus Compact Wet & Dry Mineral Foundation
£3.00

Sunproof Powder Foundation 
£5.50

Blooming Eyeshadow Palette
£3.00

Super Colour Mascara 
£5.90

Lip Glaze
£1.50

Smart Lipstick 
£2.00

Skin Evolution Concealer
£3.80

They always have special offers going on but the only shop they have in the UK is in London Westfield. They have a UK website but I'm not sure about the delivery charges. 
Anyway I think its a great international brand and I hope they bring more stores to the UK soon!

Nails that Sparkle

The other day I was browsing through the make-up section in Boots and I can never resist picking up some nail polish. This time the choice was Models Own Juicy Jules in silver, I tried it as soon as I got home (below) over a coat of Pink Grapefruit 17 lasting finish, and I was really happy with the results!
After a few days they are all still in tact which is a bonus considering I'm really hard on my nails!
I love the sparkly effect and it adds a bit of something extra to your favourite colour, and at £5 a bottle it's definitely worth it!
