I have recently been acquainted with
Kiko Milano, an Italian cosmetics brand which Mum says is currently all the rage in London. She's a fan of the brand herself - their lipsticks, in particular - and she brought home a few for me to try.
I immediately fell in love with this - the
Intensely Lavish Lipstick, which was actually launched last year as part of the limited edition
Rebel Romantic Collection.

Meet Kiko Milano. :) |
I was smitten from the packaging alone. And who wouldn't be? The gold lettering on the purple box gives off a very luxurious vibe, while the sleek and glossy rose gold bullet is nothing short of elegant.

Lovely, just lovely. |
Even the lipstick itself has tiny embossed prints on the side which makes it lovelier than it already is.

Details on the lipstick. |
There are six shades in the
Intensely Lavish range, and this one is shade #3 - otherwise known as
Luscious Red. It's a solid red color that would suit just about any skintone.

Shade number on the top flap, and at the bottom of the bullet. |
Kiko Milano describes their
Intensely Lavish lipsticks as
'creamy, with intense and bright colour', which is exactly what it is. This lipstick has amazing color pay-off, intense even with just one swipe.

Intensely Lavish Lipstick in 03 Luscious Red. |
It has a very smooth and creamy formula that glides on effortlessly, and a buttery texture that makes it very comfortable to wear. This shade in particular has a beautiful satin finish, with a bit of shine that makes the lips look healthy and naturally plump.

One swipe on the left, two on the right. |
It also has impressive staying power as the color stays pretty much intact for five hours at the most. The best part? This lipstick retails for just
£6.90, around
Php 468 or
$10 when converted.

And yes, I finally got a hair cut! :) |
I do hope Kiko Milano will find its way to the Philippine market soon. I bet it'll be selling like hotcakes, much like it did in Europe and the US.
