Models Own Haul

Hiya!

I'm extremely sorry for the lack of posts as Z caught the flu and so did I. It's been the hardest week for us both but we're getting there.

Models own had a sale recently with everything 50% off! I went absolutely crazy and had to cut out a fair amount of polishes from my basket so I ended up with just 10 bottles.
I loved every bit of the packaging especially the cardboard sleeve that goes outside the box; its very vibrant and the colours used make me want to party! The tissue paper inside was fun with little doodles and writing.
I made a purchase of 6 HyperGel polishes and 4 Colour Chrome Polishes.

Colour Chrome (L-R) - Pearl NP262 , Blue NP242, Gold NP238, Rose NP236
Twilight HyperGel (L-R) Jet Black SG036, Everyday Grey SG035, Heather SG042, Cashmere Rose SG037, Loganberry SG038, Teal SG046

I love the Colour Chrome polishes as it was something different. These polishes are prefect for stamping but I had thrown all of my stamping set out a couple of years ago because I just couldn't find a good polish to use with it but after I had recieved these polishes I went back onto ebay and bought stamping plates and sets.
I found that the polishes did leave streaks but the colour is so gorgeous and very pigmented! 

I have purchased a few HyperGel's before but I think they've changed the formula as its so much easier to apply and it's not as thick. I absolutely love how smooth it goes on and how quick it dries. My favourite shade right now is Loganberry. Its not to red nor purple and it gives my hand a pop of colour which suits this season. I had trouble with the formula of the Cashmere Rose as it was very thick and so it was hard to paint onto my nail and the Teal polish wouldn't come off my skin until I scrubbed it but the colour is so amazing. I just love it!
Overall I am extremely happy with my purchases and I cannot wait to get more!

KIKO Milano Haul

Hi!

I went Bluewater the other day in search for a birthday present and saw that KIKO MILANO had a sale! As you know I love my sales but I did go a bit crazy in there but I was upset that they didn't have any face mask instock. 
It was my first time in KIKO and I loved it! I went on a Saturday and it was crazy so I can't comment on the experience of the store but I did ask some staff members on stock and they was happy to help and the girl on the tills was super nice.

BB Glow Compact 04
I love the packaging of this. The separate compartment for the sponge is very convenient and the mirror is big enough to see my whole face. The foundation is creamy but once you place it on it feels very light and it is very matte. I did want shade 2 but they ran out and 4 was a little lighter than I would of liked.
Compact Powder 102 Natural Pink
The powder is extremely light and once place on your face it feels as if it isn't even there. Its very pigmented so you don't need a lot and it does an amazing job of making my face shiny.
Colour Veil Blush 01 Pink
Candy Floss. I don't know why but it smells like candy floss! It has such a nice sweet scent. The powder is light and very pigmented.
Smart Eye Pencil 815 Smoke Grey & 800 Golden Silk
I was really disappointed with 800 Golden Silk because it broke after just using it once! The 815 Smoke Grey looks more like a dark navy then grey once you put it on so I'm not liking it very much especially when I had to keep going back and forth to get the colour.
Double Glam Eyeliner 112
They are very soft and pigmented. I love the colours on this and the way it glides on.
VIVID Colour Lipstick Pencil 09 Ruby Red & 04 Strawberry
 AMAZING! I love how pigmented the lipsticks are and how easy it to apply. It does feel a bit dry after its placed on but the colour stays.
Smart Lip Pencil 701 Pearly Pink Peony & 705 Bright Geranium
Easy to apply and very pigmented but there's a strong wood smell which annoys me because as I'm applying it on my lips.
408 Crystal Sheer Rich Red & 513 Luscious Cream Lipstick   
I absolutely love the packaging as its so shiny and fun. Z loves to 'push the button' to open it. It feels very creamy and silky on the lips but what I love the most is that it smells amazing! 
Perfect Star Gel Duo 
I haven't tried this yet but I love the packaging of this as its so shiny.


I'm excited to try these products and look forward to purchasing more products from KIKO Milano. If you've tried any of the products what would you recommend for my future purchases?
