I absolutely love Kiko Cosmetics and whenever I am within the vicinity of a store, be it Oxford Circus or Covent Garden, you can guarantee I am not walking past without going inside. One thing Kiko do well is collections and within those collections is usually a lipstick and this collection is just stunning.
Meet Neo Noir, a collection which is described as having well-defined corners with fluid, geometric shapes. A noir atmosphere in which white contrasts with black. The collection’s packaging is the work of the futuristic designer Ross Lovegrove. The silhouettes evoke modern, sensual extravagance. The details recall an opulent stage curtain that opens, revealing KIKONESS at center stage: the essence of elegance, sensuality, femininity, breeziness and ease.
Within the range you will find everything from Highlighters and eyeliners to lipsticks and nail polishes in an array of shades, so there is something for everyone.
Design Flower Enriched Highlighter (£12.90) - This is a creamy highlighter with petal extracts which help to create targeted points of light. Two different shades are combined in a single product and you can use the colours alone or mix them together. The texture is really fine and creamy an it glides onto the skin effortlessly. It is also delicately perfumed with Japanese rose.

Max Mod Mascara (£11.90) - I am a total mascara fiend and it is the one item I never leave the house without wearing. This mascara features a small brush which is designed to give maximum volume effect and definition. The brush has slanted, elastomer bristles which allow you to reach and coat every single lash, even those really tiny ones in the corner of your eyes. The texture of the mascara is quite smooth and supple, it doesn't clump or clog and it is buildable and easy to distribute along the entire length of the lashes.
Again with the packaging, there is the luminious black matte finish and again, the lid with the KK logo recalls an opulent stage curtain that opens, allowing KIKONESS to take the spotlight as with the Highlighter.
Enigma Lip Liner (£5.90) - This long-lasting lip pencil is designed to give a vivid colour payoff as well as to emphasize the lip colour. The lip pencil colour is really pigmented and glides onto the lips effortlessly and blends like an absolute dream. It is availble in 8 shades and is made to match the Enigma Lipstick colours.
Enigma Lipstick (11.90) - Now this is one stunning lipstick and I adore it and the shade. Described as being a volume effect lipstick, it gives amazing colour payoff that is bold and shiny. The formula contains oil extracted from passion fruit and a mix of waxes and shiny oils to provide a long-lasting radiant and flawless finish.
This is such a beautiful collection from the packaging to the detail of each individual item, yet again, for me, Kiko pulls off a fantastic collection. You can find all the latest collections here from Kiko.
