KIKO COSMETICS & BITS HAUL | AIMEEBELLMUA

Friday Wishlist | Aimee Bell MUA

Happy Friday!! So it is finally our favorite time of the week again! The weekend! We seem to wish our lives way every week just to have some time off work & do whatever we want and sleep! 

Kiko Nail Varnish | AimeeBellMua

Kiko Cosmetics Makeup Milano are my current fave makeup/beauty brand! 

They have amazing products across the whole of their range and the prices are very reasonable for such high quality products. In Leeds we have a KIKO store but if you aren't lucky enough to have one you can purchase online at http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk/make-up/hands/nail-polishes.html

(Nail varnish page just because thats the topic of this post) 

As some of you may know, my day job I am a IT Service Desk Analyst for an IT company so I am constantly using a keyboard all day and have found that my nails chip alot faster than they would if I was working off a computer. Ive tried numerous brands such as Rimmel/Maybelline etc, but they all seem to chip in no time and have a dull appearance unless using a high shine top coat. But with these you can apply this with no top coat and still get high shine and the colour seems to last at least a week even with hardcore typing! 

The nail varnishes range from £1.50 up to £4.50 depending on what type you want to go for.

Above you can see I had a bit of a splurge so I could try the majority of the range. 

1. The Quick Dry Lacquer. This charcoal colour is what I have been wearing alot recently & quick drying it really is. After 2 coats you have a nice thick deep colour which lasts. I believe this one was £3.50ish

2. The 3 in 1 shine is amazing! You can use it as a base coat and top coat and leaves your nails feeling strong and shiny. This was around the £3.50-4.50 mark. 

3. The Magnetic Nail Lacquer, this looks really cool when used with the magnet which you can get with it and it gives you an awesome pattern to your nails. Although I prefer this just on its own as its a lovely nude brown colour, really in keeping with the nude trend at the moment & looks great with tanned skin. I picked this up in the sale for an amazing £1.50!! 

4. Finally I picked up the Fancy Top coat nail lacquers in 3 different glitter shades which were each just £1 in the sale. These look gorgeous over almost any colour. I have been wearing the blue glitter over the grey quick dry nail polish. The combo looks fab & the glitter really stands out and gives off a glossy shine to the nails. Some glitter polishes I fine very very hard to remove with nail varnish remover and Im very hesitant to wear it but with these products you can remove them in no time. 

Overall I am very very very impressed with these nail polishes and will pick some more up in the future and get some more colours.

Kiko Cosmetics Haul | AimeeBellMua

New cosmetic shops always gets me excited and cant wait to be let loose in there, however this has been open near where I have been doing my training course for about 4 months now and I have resisted temptation to go in until I was ready to blog again! 

KIKO cosmetics are an exciting new makeup brand which I can tell I am going to love! 

Have a look at their website to see if you can find a local store near you - http://www.kikocosmetics.co.uk/

First impressions:

Then shop is set ut very professionally, similar to the MAC shops and there is every makeup artists dreams in there! Everything you could imagine to set up as a self employed Makeup Artist is there! 

The prices are very reasonable and compete with alot of the highstreet brand prices such as Maybelline & Rimmel so this made me get even more excited and couldnt wait to try some of their products. 

So as you can see I have picked up 3 of their eyeshadows. (I thought I would begin buying things I actually need rather than buying for the sake of it) These gorgeous single eyeshadows are only £2.90 each!! WOW!! They have every colour you could ever want and more! 

So I picked up my usual everyday browns/reddy brown/highlighter colours.

Below are the pigment numbers! 

KIKO Cosmetics - Number: 132

This is a lovely browny bronze colour and the pigment is so strong, just like your high end brands like mac. The packaging is adorable and the eye shadow seems to stay on all day without fall out or smudging when warm. 

KIKO Cosmetics - Number: 118

This pearly highlighter is fab for under your eyebrow, in the inner corner of your eye and to even highlight your cheeks applying it lightly with a blush type brush. 

Again the packaging is fab and the pigment is amazing! No fall out or fading during the day.

KIKO Cosmetics - Number: 137

Last but not least I picked up this purpley brown shadow which is fab for the autumn seasons. 

Again fably packed and very strong pigments as you can see on the swatch. 

All these eyeshadows are very easy to blend together to create your own. 

All in all I would definately recommend these if you are looking for cheaper MAC dupes with the same quality! I will definately be picking up many more of these and trying products from all the other ranges too. 

I hope you enjoyed this haul post, I am sure there will be many more to come! 

Lots of Love A xox
