KIKO – Make Up Milano …. (mini haul)

Posted on February 25, 2013 by iwantyourstyle

I am always on the hunt for a new make up brand that doesn’t break the bank balance…. I use MAC, Bobbi Brown, YSL, MUA, Super Drug, Boots No 7… L’oreal.. Maybelline…. Barry M…Rimmel… Collection 2000…(I have ALOT of make up)…..I like trying lots of different beauty brands for many different reasons but I stumbled across this Gem when shopping with the Bestie!

KIKO Make Up Milano had a large variety of coloured eyeliners, nails varnishes, powder and cream blushers, foundations, lip sticks, lip crayons, concealers and also had a range of skin care products. As a lipstick lover I couldn’t get over the pigments of the lipsticks and the range of colours that they had. Not only did they have lipsticks, they have lipliners and ‘glossy lipliners’ which is basically a lipliner with a gloss/shimmer to it! I bought about 5 different products and it costs me £24 in total which I thought was great.

Velvet Mat Lipstick

When wearing a strong pigmented colour I prefer a matte lipstick as I personally feel that they stay on longer, I lost my mac ‘morange’ lipstick a few weeks ago and got ridiculously excited that I had finally found a dupe for a third of the price!

This velvet lipstick lasted about 5 hours on my lips and I added my own gloss on top. It felt really soft and creamy on my lips and two random people today asked me where I got my lipstick from… (woop woop)

Sometimes when you see a lipstick in store it looks great but normally doesn’t last long enough/ drys out my lips or the pigment is really light…. this little brand took me by surprise! For only £5 I was really shocked by how good the products were and I will defiantly be buying more. Matte lipsticks normally dry out my lips but I noticed for the first time that this didn’t happen, this lipsticks are enriched with K2 repulp which stimlates hyaluronic acid which helps to maintain moisturse levels and plumpness.

Check out the rest of their lipsticks here. This lipstick is avaliable in 15 different shades, I bought shade 604 in bright orange!

Ultra Glossy Stylo

Instead of wearing a bright pigmented lipstick it’s nice to have a natural light shimmery coloured gloss, this stays on like a lipstick its lightweight and adds a subtle amount of colour. The ultra glossy lipsticks from KIKO again are at an amazing price off only £3.50. I couldn’t help myself and I picked up 2 in shades 807 and 816. It’s a great price, product and tastes like candy! Check out their full range of ultra glossy lipsticks here.

Ultra Glossy Lip pencil

I always use a lipliner but I have never come across a glossy lipliner. The only product I can compare this to is the Clinique chubby stick with a stronger pigment with a glossier effect. Again the price is so cheap, £5.20 for a really good glossy lipliner, this is available in 16 different shades,

Natural Concealer

Finally …. we are nearly at the end of this little review.. I had to try their concealer. I am on the search for a full coverage, hydrating, non creasing concealer… (still looking). The natural concealer is light weight with a medium to full coverage and didn’t crease as much as my other drug store products. I bought this in shade 2 as I wanted the ‘kim k’ look. It was a reasonable price of £5.50 and they have a variety of different concealers, check out their full range.

Sometimes it is so hard to find a product that you love and actually works, I was surprised by this brand and will be purchasing a lot more products from them. As cliche as it may sound I assume that the more expensive the product the better coverage and product, I have been proven wrong. Check out their store in the original Westfield in London.

Have you tried this brand? What is your favourite beauty product of all time?

Bombshell Make Up!

Posted on December 2, 2012 by iwantyourstyle

So guys I have taken my love of beauty and make up to another level and decided to create a little youtube beauty channel…. so far I have kept you up to date with some of my latest tricks of ghd curls, leopard print eyes and the Skeena bun! This look is smokey plum eyes and deep ombre two tone lips! I hope you love this look and try it out! It’s really easy and is for a night on, I applied a heavier base as I needed it to last all night! Check it out and please subscribe if you like it 🙂

Also it’s amazing to see how much makeup can change the dimensions of your face, remember work with what you have and make up can enhance your features! The tricks on layering your foundation for an evening look and contouring and highlighting your face really do work!

The lashes are from Illamasqua and are AMAZING! I had to cut them to fit exactly as they were a bit too long for my eye! (Random but true)

I am wearing Mac Studio Fix foundation in NW25 and NC25 as I have both warm and cool undertones in my skin! The layering technique on this video really does help your foundation stay and remember THIN layers ladies!

I am wearing a mix of two lipliners from MAC, a darker purple one to outline and a brighter red in the middle with a Revlon Kate Moss number 1 lipstick on top! I have to say that the lipstick lasted all night and through a 3 course menu! I would definitely recommend covering your whole lips in lipliner before as if your lipstick comes off the liner will last for the rest of the day/evening!

So I got a bit carried away and ended up posing in front of the camera…. but so what its all just a bit of fun hey! The T-shirt I’m wearing is from Topshop and is only £18! Bargainnnnn and my cute little necklace is from Forever 21!

Illamasqua Event Beak Street

Posted on November 10, 2012 by iwantyourstyle

I love Illamasqua its one of my favourite make up brands! The colours are intense, the pigments are crazy and once you start using the brand you will become an addict! I already have a few lipsticks from them, an amazing corrector and concealer…nail varnishes.. eyelashes… basically they are amazing and you have to check them out!(I will stop banging on about them now)

Illamasqua is not just a make up brand, it was founded only a few years ago and it will bring out your inner freak…… seriously I ended up leaving with a dark blue lipstick! .. will post a video-blog later on how to wear this!

Anyway I got invited to their event in their flagship store on beak street as they had a collaboration with the amazing illustrator Achraf Amiri! Illamasqua have sponsored the SORAPOL fashion show each year, this years brief was to create masks for the models to wear from past and current celebrities. At the event the masks were dotted around the store, they looks amazing.. a little scary but very effective! Have a look at some of the picture below to get an insight and try and guess what celebrities each mask relates too!

Understand what I mean when I say ‘inner freak’?

The amazing Achraf… love his shoes!

Ladies defiantly invest in their eyelashes over christmas!

For more information on how the masks were made and to find out about the amazing illustrator check it out here! Also don’t forget to check out the illamasqua goodies, if you are a first time buyer I would defiantly recommend buying one of there eyeshadow pallets!

Berry Red… leather and sparkles!

Posted on October 17, 2012 by iwantyourstyle

It’s cold…. I don’t like the weather and it’s messing up my outfit choices! What better way than to put on a thick pair of tight, wrap up in pleather and leather and wear a cosy berry jumper!

Today I realised that the majority of my outfit is from Primark…. I recently picked up a cute pleather skirt for only £12 (currently in store.)

My Berry wool jumper is also from Primark ….. and so is my hair donut!

My lipstick is from MAC, it’s a dark berry colour called hang up. My winter makeup routine mainly focuses on contouring… I will post this on my new youtube channel in the next few weeks! I am currently wearing the Dior Forever foundation, it’s so light and lasts all day! Great for a light dewy finish!

My necklace is from BlackGodBold and was bought from asos.com

My favourite jacket at the moment is my Aqua leather jacket, unfortunately I got this last year so it’s no longer available… stayed tuned and check out their new collection here.

I have stacks and stacks of jewellery…. AND I love a statement ring! I love creepers but think they are too gothy for me so I decided to get a ‘Skeena’ version… shiny and pretty in silver!

Hope you love the post and don’t forget to like us on Facebook!
