I first discovered KIKO Cosmetics during a holiday to Spain three years ago and have been a massive fan of their products ever since. I especially love KIKO's collection of lipsticks as it offers a wide range of both colours and textures, ranging from bold options to more subtle ones, in order to provide something which suits the taste of every customer.
I currently own eight KIKO lipsticks and I love every one! The colours are extremely well pigmented and look gorgeous on the lips, the formulas aren't too drying (although some are more hydrating than others) and I personally find them to be very long lasting. I have read reviews in the past which claim that KIKO lipsticks wear away relatively quickly but, in my experience, their longevity depends on which type of lipstick you buy and how sheer the formula is.
Another great thing about KIKO lipsticks are that they are such an affordable price. They are extremely cheap for such great quality products and so are a great alternative to more high end lipsticks.
Smart Lipsticks (£3.90)
KIKO Smart Lipsticks come in a range of shimmery and matte shades, they are nourishing on the lips and last a long time. My favourite of the Smart Lipsticks that I own is the shade 920 which is a shimmery pale pink, it's a beautiful colour and works well with a wide variety of eye makeup looks. Another Smart Lipstick that I own is the shade 914, this is a deep berry shade which is perfect for Autumn / Fall makeup looks. The third Smart Lipstick I have is the shade 922 which is a shimmery lilac, it's a great option for those who want to be a bit different but is subtle enough that it doesn't look tacky.
Luscious Cream Lipsticks (£6.90)
The KIKO Luscious Cream Lipsticks have quite a glossy appearance and are creamy in texture. They aren't as shimmery as some of the Smart Lipsticks but are equally as long lasting. I have the shades 516 (a bright pink) and 509 (an orangey red) which are both beautiful colours that complement a range of eye looks.
Velvet Mat Lipsticks (£6.90)
KIKO's Velvet Mat Lipsticks have a satin finish which makes the lips look smooth and silky, they come in a variety of matte colours including nudes, pinks and reds and are also very long lasting. I love the shade 613 which is a light pink, it's the perfect every day lip colour as it's fairly subtle and very versatile. I also own the shade 611 (a darker pink shade) which is a great lipstick for Autumn / Winter as it is darker than some of the other shades in the range and complements many of the colour trends associated with these seasons. The final velvet Mat Lipstick that I own is the shade 607 which is a classic red and looks good with pretty much any makeup look.
Another type of KIKO lipsticks that I have tried but do not currently own myself are the Crystal Sheer Lipsticks (£6.90) . These have a glossy finish but are available in a much more subtle range of colours than the Luscious Cream Lipsticks. They are a great option for those who want to add a small amount of colour to their lips without looking too over the top as they have a very sheer consistency. They aren't as long lasting as some of the other lipsticks but still look pretty on the lips and can easily be reapplied throughout the day.
KIKO's packaging is also beautiful, everything is well presented and the layout of their shops makes it easy to find what you're looking for. I highly recommend their lipsticks and many of their other products as they are all of a very high quality and are an amazing (and much cheaper) alternative to some of the higher end makeup brands.
