Kiko Lipsticks Frison Rose + Natural Rose // Coco x Beauty

July 1, 2015

I’ve been a big fan of Kiko Cosmetics ever since I’ve been to one of their shops last year in Italy. Their products are beautiful, good quality and very affordable, which is a really good combo, right? I heard that a Kiko shop opened at the Amsterdam Central Station, so when I went to Amsterdam last week to visit my friends’ exhibition and the AMFI fashionshow, I knew I had to pay it visit and SHOP! Unfortunately the trains were a nightmare, so I arrived an hour later than planned, and only had about five minutes before had to leave again. So it ended up being a really short but sweet shop session. Hopefully next time I’ll have some more time and really try some more stuff out. I picked up these two lipsticks, the Deco Delight lipstick in Frison Rose and the Velvet Mat – Satin lipstick in Natural Rose.

Are they a match made in Kiko heaven? Check out my review and swatches!

Review: The Balm Instain Blush – Lace

April 28, 2014

After using this blush for some time, I thought it’s time to review this pink little number. The packaging is very cute, but as you can see, it get dirty really easy if you carry it around in your bag.

The blush has a little mirror in it, and as soon as you open it, it really pops…don’t you think?

This is an extremely pigmented blush! Even if I just gently apply the tip of my brush to the palette, I still need to tap it off and make sure to blend like crazy. I really like the pigmentation, I don’t have to apply a lot to get a nice result, so I don’t get a caked up face and this product will probably last me a long, looooong time.

Applied on a full face of make up and blended to the max. This blush is a long-wearing, it’ll last up to 7 to 9 hours.

The Balm Instain Blush -Lace @ the Make up Spot € 20,95

New in: Sleek True Colour Lipstick – Mystic & Barry M Lip Paint – 155 Pretty Pink

April 24, 2014

I have to admit, I’m a bit of a make up addict. I can honestly say I already own quite a few shades of pink lipsticks, but oops..I did it again. These two are quite budget friendly for a change!

I went for a Sleek True Colour Lipstick in ”Mystic ”, A matte, blue based matte pink/purple-ish colour and a Barry M in ”Pretty Pink”, which is a light pink colour.

Sleek True Colour Lipstick – Mystic:

Repurchase: Yes

Price: € 6,99

Product: 7/10

Packaging: 3/5

Value: 8/10

Overall Grade: 8/10

Barry M Lip Paint – 155 Pretty Pink

Repurchase: no

Price: € 5,95

Product: 6/10

Packaging: 3/5

Value: 6/10

Overall Grade: 6/10

Swatches:

Left: Sleek True Colour Lipstick – Mystic € 6,99

Right:Barry M Lip Paint – 155 Pretty Pink € 5,95

Lipswatches:

”Mystic” is a total winner, great colour pay off, just make sure you remove dry skin on your lips before you apply it. LOVE the purple undertone, it pops but isn’t too much for a daytime look. ”Pretty Pink” wasn’t bad, it just didn’t blow me away, it’s just not my perfect pink lipstick. The search continues … ;-)

You can buy both lipsticks at The Make Up Spot.
