These Kiko make-up removing wipes, the Cleansing Pure Clean, were one of those not planned purchases suggested by necessity. I had never used them before, nor searched for reviews; I’ve seen them, they winked at me and ended up in my “shopping cart”! They are a mini version of the Cleansing Pure Clean Classic wipes and they seemed comfortable to carry around with you… Each pack contains 10 rectangular and stretchable wipes with “an exclusive formula enriched with tested and safe emollient and protective ingredients. After use, waterproof make-up is removed and skin is left hydrated and soft to the touch.” They are hypoallergenic, studied to be delicate on both…

Kiko Sugar Mat #634 sand effect nail polish – review and swatches
This is the Kiko nail polish I’ve shown you previously, it’s the Sugar Mat n° 634. Among all the crazy textures available now, I wanted absolutely to try this “sandy” effect, so here I’m with this little gem from Kiko. The Sugar Mat nail polishes have a grainy texture, they are gritty to the touch and some have a bit of pearly shimmer and even glitters! The n° 634 is a pale pastel pink and it’s totally mat, it sounds quite easy to describe but, under artificial white lights, I can notice a tinge of blue that makes this nail polish looks slightly light lilac (as seen in the haul post).…

NOTD: Vixen’s skittles manicure
Thanks to an old China Glaze collection, I’ve wondered how could I define a vixen. A temptress, a “malicious woman with a fierce temperament’, according to the online dictionaries. Which nail polish or manicure should I choose for a woman like that? A red, a taupe? None of these! I’ve rummaged through my collection and I’ve put together particular colours for an equally particular skittles. I’ve mixed and matched more neutral and warm tones, all with different finishes. The result was a quite autumnal skittles manicure. The nail polishes used in this post are: – Avon, Golden Wine: vivid red, shimmer; – Avon, Noir Emeald: emerald green, metallic; – Avon, Naked…

Fuchsia eyeliner? Why not with this First Lady eyeshadow?
By focusing the make-up on your eyes, all attentions go to them. When I’m in a hurry I opt for a simple winged eyeliner but I’m tired of black so I choose a pop of colour. I increasingly often use a bright fuchsia in my make-up looks. The one I’m using at the moment is a baked eyeshadow from the Beauty Group’s new line called First Lady. It isn’t sold outside Italy but if you’re curious, you can find the full review with more pictures here (Italian article). It’s the n°8 (Skinkifra) eyeshadow and it can be worn both wet or dry. To create my eyeliner, I take a bit of…
