REVIEW: KIKO for Eyes





L-R Vivid Eyes Kajal and Eyeliner in Black and Festive Indigo, (wet and then dry) Pigment Loose Eyeshadow in Joyful Teal and Sunny Coral


You might remember my KIKO introduction post from a while ago. Well, in case you missed it, since then I've published a post about their KIKO Long Lasting Lipsticks and now, I'm going to be talking about some of their eye products. First up is the Vivid Eyes Kajal and Eyeliner in Festive Indigo and Black* £7.90. I love this product. I haven't used any other pencil eyeliner since receiving this. As you can see from the swatches above the black is very intense and it lasts a long time on waterline and stays intense. They pencil is the perfect texture - creamy enough to not drag on the eyelids but hard enough to stay put on the skin. It's also great for smudging and creating a smoky eye. I haven't used the blue yet purely because I'm scared to. I don't do well with colour on my eyes at all but this end of the pencil is also perfect in formula and pigmentation. I highly recommend this product if you're an eyeliner addict like I am. Secondly is the Pigment Loose Eyeshadow in Sunny Coral* and Joyful Teal* £5.90 each. These pigments come in six different shades (in the "Colours in the world collection") and they're made from pure pigments. They're easy to blend and when wet, easy to work with. They're extremely pigmented (when used wet as you can see in the swatches above) and can be used to create a fine line or a very dramatic make up look. You can blend them together and mix them with other colours to create something unique and personal every time you use them. The colours are extreme for me but the other night it was fairy fancy dress night and I enjoyed using these colours on my friends. They lasted throughout the entire night and were still vibrant when we returned home. If you love colour then these are perfect for you. The price is also extremely reasonable as these will last you years.
Have you tried anything from KIKO? Do any of the above products appeal to you?
