It was recently my birthday and so I
went into London to go shopping. I really wanted to try two new stores to me:
kiko and Mac. I had never bought anything from either of them and really wanted
to try some products as they are highly talked about in the beauty world. Today
I am going to show you what I got and tell you what I think because I have had
them about a week now.
From kiko I bought an eye shadow
pallet and four eye shadows to fill it. The pallet was £2.50 and the eye
shadows were £3 each. I got the shades 212, 216, 217 and 219. I created a brown
pallet with three shimmery shades and one Matt brown. The quality of these
shadows is good and they last well. They are very easy to blend and are really
nice to work with. For the price, these are excellent and I would defiantly
recommend them.
From Mac i firstly
bought the studio fix powder in NW20. This is a really nice powder. It keeps
your makeup on whilst giving a slight coverage. This is great for when you are
out as a top up. It is however expensive at £20.
Finally from Mac I also got a
lipstick. I got patisserie which is a lustre lipstick. It is creamy and easy to
apply. It doesn't last a very long time but a small amount of colour stays on
for a while. I also got given crosswords which is a cream sheen which is more
red toned but a nice subtle colour. The consistencies of both these lipsticks
are very nice and creamy and they are very pleasant on the lips. I would
recommend these colours a lot. At £15 for a high quality lipstick it is not too
overpriced.
I hope you enjoyed this small makeup
haul and that it helped you to see what products are great to try if you are a
beginner.
