Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow

Here I have the Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow in 208 Light Gold. I bought this online after seeing a lot of YouTubers talk about it and use is as a highlighter. And since I absolutely love golden highlighters, I caved and got it, and a few other things from the Kiko Milano website. I got them for about half the price because they were having a sale at the time, but the original price is $14 USD, it’s still very affordable for such a high end quality product.

So this is what the packaging looks like, it’s kind of chunky for an eyeshadow packaging, but not too bad, but that’s because of how the main product looks like. It’s suppose to be like water ripples, hence the name “Water Eyeshadow”. I think it looks stunning though.

You get 3g of product, it also comes with a really cute mirror. I don’t use the mirror but it can be handy, especially if you’re going to bring this with you when you go out.

This shade has been compared with other popular highlighters in the market, especially the limited edition ones like the famous Mac Whisper of Gilt, Mac Oh Darling, Estee Lauder Heat Wave, etc.

Here’s a swatch comparison:

Overall, I think this product is just absolutely amazing. The quality, the price, and how versatile it is. It can be used wet or dry and they have a variety of colours you can choose from. Mind you, the shades in this line are all (either) shimmery or metallic. But you can find matte eyeshadows in their other collections.

Birthday Haul (Part 4)

Heya guys! Here’s part 4 of my birthday haul. 😁

To start, I have here a few really adorable makeup bags. The two bags at the top are made by Breakups to Makeups and I got them from Sephora online. I absolutely love these bags! I got one before from the same brand as an ipsy bag, and I just thought that they’re so cute. So when I saw these, I knew that I had to have them. They are limited edition so if you want to get your hands on these, better get them before they sell out. Then the other two at the bottom I actually got from Ulta for purchasing a certain amount.I have another one of the pink bag on the way but I wanted to get this post up so I didn’t wait for it anymore. They are filled with random products that I will post on a later part of my haul.

Up next, I have some hand and body creams. I received these items and I’m so glad because it’s already getting cold at where I live, and every time, my hands turn into a desert. So I’m always in need of hand creams. The one at the center is actually a shimmery body lotion. I haven’t used it yet because I feel like it’s more appropriate to use it during the Spring or Summer time because it’ll give you a bronzed up glow, I did open it and saw that it has some bronze shimmer in it.

And then I picked these eyeshadows because I was on the hunt for a certain shade that doesn’t have a name because it’s from an Elf palette which I actually reviewed, and I love that shade so I’m trying to see if I could find a similar one so that I don’t have to buy an entire palette for just one colour. Anyway, I got a NYX matte eyeshadow in the shade Underneath It All, and an Urban Decay one in the shade Beware. Comparing both of them to the shade I’m on the hunt for, the closest colour is definitely Beware from UD. I’m still thinking of getting more similar shades from both brands just to be sure. But yeah, I’m happy with both so far.
