KIKO Haul

I have seen KIKO mentioned many a time during my beauty blog reads, so I thought it was about time I gave the brand a try. The minimum order total was £25 so I ended up purchasing quite a few items which took my fancy.
  1. Photo-age Sunscreen Cream SPF 30 - I have been looking for a facial sunscreen for quite some time; I am very aware that the sun can permanently damage your skin and darken acne scars, which I definitely don't want! Ensuring you always wear SPF on your face is also meant to prevent/postpone aging and wrinkles. I am going to try to apply this every day, before my primer.
    .
  2. All-In Marker and Kajal - I wasn't too sure about what this product was, but it intrigued me and was in the sale so I decided to give it a try as I often use eyeliner. I'm not too sure what the "kajal" is meant for so please let me know in the comments if you have any idea!
    .
  3. Purifying Mask - I am always on the lookout for face masks to help with my acne-prone skin, and this one sounded simple and appropriate for my skin as it "absorbs excess sebum", reducing blemishes.
    .
  4. Smart Lipstick (912 Crimson Red) - I couldn't do an online beauty order without adding a lipstick to my basket, as they are probably my favourite product! This lipstick has amazing reviews and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try it. I love this colour; it is bold and red but also slightly pink which gives off a softer look. The formula is really good and it has fantastic colour payoff while not drying your lips out!
    .
  5. Face Skin Glow - I stumbled across this product and was intrigued about what it was. It is a moisturising cream which claims to even out complexion while also stimulating cell renewal and collagen production (goodbye acne scars!). It contains SPF and is recommended to be used before applying make-up as a sort of primer, but I think I will probably use it on it's own in the summer months when I don't want to have a face full of melting make-up!
    .
  6. Pearly Kiss Balm (104 Passion Fruit) - My love for lipsticks also extends to lip balms as I think it's important to treat your lips well for any lipstick to look good! This balm is a lovely smooth, moisturising formula with impressive colour, I got a purple shade with a slight shimmer.
My first impressions of KIKO are extremely positive and I'm really excited to use all of these products! I will be doing a future post reviewing these items in more detail once I have had enough time to try them all out.

  2. I think Kajal is just another word for Kohl! :) I always walk past Kiko in Leeds but I've never actually bought anything yet! I love how your haul isn't just make-up, I never knew Kiko sold so many other beauty products! :)
    I really like the look of the Face Skin Glow and the Mask!

    1. I'd definitely recommend trying it out if you get the chance! I found the online system really quick and easy but it was a pain that you had to spend a minimum of £25! x
