Kiko Cosmetics Rebel Romantic Collection First Impressions & Swatches

Recently, I posted about Kiko's fall 2015 collection Rebel Romantic and Kiko generously offered to send me some products to try! I was beyond excited because even though Kiko is relatively new to the US, they have a store where I live and I've tried a few products so far that I was very impressed with. This new collection is just gorgeous...the packaging is rose gold (think Charlotte Tilbury) and will look beautiful sitting on my vanity table, or pulling it out of my purse. The whole collection is whimsical, ethereal and soft. Let's take a closer look...

Everything came in a sturdy bright purple box with the Kiko logo in silver on the lid. The products themselves came in cute little pillow pack boxes. 

The Glowing Potion ($19) is a face perfecting serum with hyaluronic acid that gives your face a subtle glow and helps to plump up the skin. I use it in place of a primer on days when I feel like something a little more lightweight because it feels more like a light lotion vs a primer. 

Eyes Potion ($16) is an eye contour perfecting serum that brightens up the eye area and helps prep it for makeup. After applying this, I notice that my eye area looks instantly more awake! It helps to hide bags, dark circles and signs of aging and absorbs really quickly with no greasy feel. 

Both products give your skin a little bit of a glow but it's not shimmery at all. I would describe it as more of a pearlescence.

The Perfecting Bronzer ($16) comes in two shades, Light to Medium and Medium to Dark and contain a perfecting powder in the center. The powder is pink in the lighter bronzer and lilac in the darker one and they help to give a flawless matte look to the skin. It has no shimmer in it whatsoever.

The Rebel Bouncy Blush ($13) has a velvety, pliable texture that reminds me of putty (similar to Colourpop's blushes) and has a satin matte finish. It comes in four shades (I chose Adorable Pink).

The Metallic Shine Eyeshadow ($14) is a creamy packed-powder eyeshadow that reminds me of the L'oreal Infallibles. It comes in six shades and I chose Absolutely Rose which is a beautiful pink/lavender shade.

The Intensely Lavish Lipstick ($10) is a super creamy formula that feels so luxurious! It just melts into your lips and stains your lips for long-lasting color. The packaging is beautiful and feels so high-end, right down to the magnetic closure. I chose the shade Lusty Peony which is a really pretty rosy pink.

Here are the swatches of the makeup products...aren't they so beautiful?

Overall, I continue to be impressed with Kiko Cosmetics! The quality is right up there with much more expensive brands and the packaging is to-die-for. I would recommend anything from the new Rebel Romantic line, as I've been wearing and loving all of the products I got!
