To start of first, I am proud of my kikay kit. It slowly turned from just a small space to my bag and slowly grew to the point I needed a kit for all my makeup. So here is a list of what you can currently find inside my kikay kit. Well go too it one by one...
1. MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC40
So far I'm quite happy with how MAC stays put on my face, needs only a few retouches and covers well.
2. L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base
I do not know what would be my reaction to this product when I first read it in a magazine. But it got rave reviews so I asked my aunt to send me one because it was not still available here. So when I first tried it, I didn't quite like it... it was hard to blend. Compared to other bases it have used in the past like Smashbox Primer and the last one I used was Stila Hydrating Primer which both a very easy to blend considering both are gel-like/liquid types.
But then I noticed in the office that the makeup really stayed longer on my face. Just a few retouches of loose powder and you are good to go again! So I became a believer. Amen to that!
3. Nars The Multiple in Maui/Portofino
This is so far the MOST EXPENSIVE SINGLE PRODUCT I bought in my kikay kit. Believe me. But every penny spent was worth it. I prefer cream type or in this case stick type blush because for me they look more natural, very blend-able and I find it very hard to make you piled tons of blush and have overdone it.
Maui is the first one I bought and it if you checked it on the website it would tell you that it is a dusty rose color while Portofino is shimmering coral. Maui for me is more redder, the closest color when my cheecks blush and Portifino is more like a orangey/bronze color.
4. Burt's Bee Rejuvenating Lip Balm with Acai Berry
I have to admit my puckers are quite big, and given I'm always inside the office talking in sometimes sub-artic temperatures... in short I always have chapped lips. It smells like bubblegum (now I know what Acai berry smells like) which is wonderful. Great on moisturizing my lips.
5. Clinique Hgh Impact Mascara
If I feel want to amp up my look or just want to look my best I put this mascara on. I love the Clinique mascara because my aunt always send me travel sizes which is a lifesaver, takes up less space and does not easily clumps and flakes. Gives excellent definition to my lashes.
6. Clinique Color Surge Eyeshadow in Spicy
I'm a fan of the no-makeup look and when I saw the videos and articles online, I knew I have to put a little bit of color on my lids. This by so far is the most natural-looking eye shadow I have used. And it is not shimmery like other eyeshadows.
I tried to find at least the single color on the online website of Clinique but sadly I can't find it anymore. I hope not the do not discontinue the color because it so wearable.
So, there you go! To are to top essentials in my kikay kit. Hope you find this highly enlightening. :)
What about me? Well, I am a glitter/anything shimmering whore. Do not ask me why, I just like shiny, sparkling things.
A self professed observant with an eagle's eye for beauty and of course of the nasty kind.
I also spit venom. You'll be suprised how heavy my bag is. I love cakes and ice cream. Either you love or hate me.
Do not get in between me and my jackets and coats. And makeup.
Make-up junkie. Multi-tasking; able to talk to callers and put on my make-up.
