So let's talk about this Kiko mascara. Volumeyes+ active mascara is one of my faves. I first picked one of these up on a trip to Malaga city a couple of years ago, and that was actually the first time I had come across Kiko, I don't think they were very big in the UK then. I've been in love with it ever since. I use it as my third coat mascara. Let me explain. I always use my Lancome definicil mascara as my first and second coat as that lengthens my lashes. I will then go in with a third coat using my Volumeyes+ to make my lashes thicker. It does what it says on the tin, it adds plenty of volume. Works a treat.
I also picked up a new eyeliner. I wear a black eyeliner most days. Nothing dramatic, no flicks or anything, just a touch to try and make me look awake at least. With eyeliners I prefer the pen style, and after looking at their selection opted for the Daring Look eye marker. It's quite chunky so easy to grip, with the tip being quite thin allowing a precision line to be drawn. Hmmm.......not so easy with a ridiculously 'bendy' tip! The very end bit is so flexible is makes drawing a line a bit more difficult and can end up being messy. When your eyelids are more wrinkly anyway, it's never the easiest but this isn't good. You can see the bendiness (that is a word) in the photos. Mine could just be a dodgy one from the batch I don't know, but what I do know is that is doesn't have very good staying power either despite their write up saying the line stays intact and smudge free. IT DOES NOT. I have to re-apply throughout the day with this one sadly. I had high hopes for it but the EYEKO one I got free with my magazine is much, much better than this one.
So, a massive thumbs up for the mascara and thumbs down for the eyeliner.
Are you a Kiko fan? What's your favourite product?

I know Ivana, very disappointing :(
DeleteI was tempted to buy this eyeliner some weeks back in Oxford. Quite disappointing that it doesn't make application easy because that is the very reason I liked it. Thanks for sharing xx
