KIKO Cosmetics

In Germany we found one of my favourite make up brands called KIKO cosmetics. On a trip last year to Barcelona we saw this shop and got a few bits. I got a mascara for around €3 and it has been my favourite ever since! This time round I decided to get a few more bits as there was a sale on so a lot of the products were half price or less. In total I spent about €16 but for the amount I got I am very pleased!

Foundation: this foundation was in the sale and although it is an anti age one I had to buy it as I loved the texture. It is very creamy and quick thick so covers well but doesn't make you look like you are caked in make up. I bought the palest colour as my skin is very white at the moment but it is still a good match for my skin and makes it look abit healthier.

Lipstick: I have a few red lipsticks but this one was €1.90 so I had to try it out. It's really good and lasted all night so I will be using this one for awhile.

Smokey eye pencil: I have wanted one of these for awhile and the one I had my eye on was slightly different but this seemed a good colour. It is a dark grey as I find black smokey eyes can be a bit hard especially on pale skin. This was really easy to use and also lasted all night so I will be having a smokey eye more often!

Nail varnishes: I haven't used these yet as I have acrylics on but I bought them on recommendation from my friend. I have lots of dark nail varnishes but not many neutral ones so I bought these colours as they are quite classic. They will also be good if I decide to go back to work as dark colours are not really allowed! The grey colour I am unsure about but I think it would be good on toes instead of hands!

Wedding hair!

My cousin has always had her fingers in many pies business wise and recently she has started doing hair and make up for a photographer! When she asked for models I jumped at the chance as I love having my hair done and this evening she practiced a wedding style on me. She is getting married next year and I am her maid of honour so I can't wait to get stuck into more wedding stuff once I'm feeling better :)
