Kiko Milano Cream Crush Eyeshadows

In my first Kiko Milano purchase, I thought I'd play it safe and go for cream eyeshadows, because how wrong could they be? Well, they're not bad. Scratch that, they're amazing. Pigmented, creamy and super blendable in two colours that are so beautiful that I had the girl serving me in the store, look around for them, because I wanted them so much. 04 Mat Taupe and 06 Pearly Chocolate are just so beautiful. They translate from pot to swatch really well, and when worn they just look fabulous. I loved the idea of a matte cream shadow, so 04 was a perfect choice: Taupe is such a universal shade, that I think would look beautiful on every skintone, and what starts out as super creamy, dries to a long-lasting matte that just looks so good... I don't know if I can really say how amazing it is. With a champagne shade on the inner corner, and a slightly darker shade blended into a crease...it looks beautiful, and trust me, you don't need a lot of this, a little touch of this is all that you need to create an effortless look.

06 Pearly Chocolate is a shimmering bronze that blends out to a beautiful smokey eye with so little effort, and you don't even need to add a shadow on-top, it's a cream that has it's own shadows and highlights. Basically a pot that can take you from day to night with one shadow brush... or two, if you wanted to make sure that the edges are blended out. Kiko Milano opened a shop in Cardiff and trust me, I was so excited I almost ripped my boyfriends arm off, dragging him into the store. Seeing everything laid out perfectly was I think, something beauty enthusiasts dream about. Of course, everything being in stock is another element to that dream... but we can't all win, can we? But at £6.90 for such a fantastic product, I think it feels like a win - especially as Kiko, for me, was a brand that I could only use if I ordered online. Sometimes, I just prefer swatching in store. The pigment and formula are so important, and with these, there is no disappointment. And you know what's even better? These shadows are on offer right now! At £3.40, these are absolute bargains!
