I'm slowly working my way through my lovely Italian make-up goodies that Francesca
kindly sent over for me in a swap!
I've seen quite a few reviews of various Kiko items spring up here and there
but as it is not easily bought - I believe their is a store in London and you can of course
buy via their web page, perhaps one day it will be more accessible, who knows?
Anyway I have a lovely sheer coral lipstick to share and share I shall.
The packaging of this lipstick is particularly beautiful the case has a similar effect to a holographic nail polish
and it pops out rather oddly so much so that the website actually has directions on how to open!
1 - Holding the lipstick with the right hand, put your left index finger on the upper part of the packaging - with its special ergonomic indention - and press lightly.
2 - Pull out the lower part of the lipstick.
3 - The lipstick is ready to put on.
Crazy huh?
Francesca really couldn't have chosen a better shade for me as I have a little obsession with coral shades
and despite the shade being called Tropical Orange it very much is a coral.
For me this is the perfect sheer lipstick, not too sheer that it is no-existant on the lips
but not as pigmented as a typical lipstick and thus defeating the point.
It slicks on very easily almost like a balm as it is really soft and delivers a moderate dose of colour.
Tropical Orange in bullet form looks like a true orange but once applied it sheers out
to a light yellow based coral that will suit most complexions.
As this is a sheer lip product I don't recommend this for really pigmented lips
as this may not deliver the results that you had in mind
but for anyone else it is a great moisturising formula that does not bleed or feather
and typically wears for around 3 hours per application.
Product Summary
Round Up - A sheer coral lipstick that is comfortable to wear.

Oh! This is...surprisingly pretty! It's peachy and i'm not super disappointed in the pigmentation because they tell you it's sheer. Too bad I would probably never be able to rock it.
