I’m very late to the Kiko train, but I’ve finally decided to join. Whilst on a shopping trip to Merry Hill the other day, I decided to give them a try. I didn’t really know what to try, so I picked a mix of a few things, but if you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them.
Let’s get into the Kiko haul.
Water Eyeshadow | 208 Light Gold
I’ve seen a lot of people on Instagram talk about these eyeshadows, so I knew I wanted to try one. I opted for the shade 208 which is a really beautiful gold. Not only can this be used on the eyes, but I’ve heard that they made a great highlighter too. You can use them wet or dry depending on what kind of finish you’re after. The packaging is sleek black little box that has a mirror on the inside.
Arctic Holiday Metal Eyeshadow | 02 Burgundy Aurora
This is a part of the Christmas collection, and like always I was drawn in by the pretty packaging and the stunning colour of the shadow. I will say that I think this is expensive for what it is; considering it’s a single, and I paid £10.90 for it. I mean it is a really beautiful colour that seems to be really popular at the moment, but it is a little steep compared to the prices of everything else.
Glow Fusion | 01 Brilliant Champagne
I love highlighter, so of course I had to get one. I opted for the lightest shade in the Glow Fusion. 01 is a pale gold/ champagne colour. I have used this once since buying it, and I really like it. It’s not as blinding as I would usually go for, but it’s still really pretty. It contains no chunky glitter, and leaves a really nice buildable sheen on the cheeks. I have a full review if you’d like to see swatches.
Smart Fusion Lipstick | 405 Vintage Rose
Considering the lipsticks are only £3.90, I knew I wanted to try one. I got two shades, and this one is 405 Vintage Rose. These lipsticks are creamy, so it’s pretty obvious they won’t last all day, but they’ll be comfortable to wear. Vintage Rose needs building up, as it’s creamy and a little sheer at first. After a few layers you get a fuller colour.
Smart Fusion Lipstick | 432 Hazelnut
The other lipstick I got is Hazelnut. It’s the same formula as Vintage Rose, but this one is more of rosy brown nude. It seems more pigmented than the other one, but it is still the creamy formula. It’s not as dark as it is in the bullet, but it’s still a pretty colour.
That was my Kiko haul.
Thank you for reading.
I always go into KIKO and end up walking out with nothing. I have tried their BB Cream and their nailpolishes which I really enjoyed. They do have some gems in their Limited Edition collections like a cream blusher I once tried. The water eyeshadows look stunning! I must pick one up xx Nikita
Do you really? I’m glad you enjoyed what you did try. They have so many stunning colours, and I hope you manage to find one you like xx
Kiko is such a lovely and affordable brand, I place an order a few months ago and I bought 5 or 6 lipsticks, they were like 1 pound each so I couldn’t leave them behind!! They had some beautiful plum and berry shades and I fell in love with them!! xx

Glad you like them too! It was so hard to pick a colour, as the lighter champagne shades look stunning. It’s a pretty colour xx
I really love Kiko, their liquid liners are my favourite for sure, so sharp and they last forever!
Anika
They sound so good! I definitely need to try one xx
Eyeshadows look lush <3
They’re a gorgeous colour xx
That’s a lovely Kiko haul! I have quite a few faves from the brand; next time definitely try their lip liners (those that look like Charlotte Tilbury’s liners) and eyeshadow sticks (those that look like By Terry but in a black packaging). Both are my go to and I use them nearly on a daily basis. I love the look of that holiday eyeshadow, colour is so pretty!

I love everything I’ve tried from Kiko! Their coloured mascaras are brill and I managed to bag two of them for only £1 each in the sale! I love the water shadows too, that Burgundy Aurora shade is bloody gorgeous and I’m in love with the Vintage Rose lipstick too, I feel like I need to do a Kiko haul now…

I’m glad you love the look of them too! They have a few stores dotted around, or you can buy online xx
I definitely think that Kiko are an underrated brand in the beauty industry. Their water shadows are so beautiful plus their shade range is great too. Their products are so inexpensive I love it. I definitely need to get myself in one of their stores soon.
They really seem like it; it seems like not many people talk about it. I hope you manage to get to a store soon xx
I friggen looove Kiko! But have to say I’ve always thought of them as being affordable; £10.99 for a single shadow is preeettty steep! Those lipstick shades you picked are sooo gorgeous.
Ah glad you like them! It’s a lot of money isn’t it?! I think it’s because it’s the Christmas range. I’m glad you like them too xx
I have a Kiko gift card to spend and your post has given me some fab inspo for what to buy! I love the sound of the Glow Fusion highlight for a more natural look and the Hazelnut lippy. Lovely post! xo, Nai
Oooh gift cards are so exciting! I hope you manage to pick up some bits that you’ll love! Thank you xx
This is a good brand. I have some of their products and I like it! Love everything here!
