Hey Guys! Today's post is one I have been so excited to write about, Kiko Milano's new Smart Cult Eyeshadow Palette. Since I went shopping in Bristol and went in a Kiko Milano shop I have fallen in love and can't wait to try more of their products. So let's jump straight into the review! This palette is extremely affordable at just £16.90, available in Kiko stores and their online store. There are 2 different variations on the palette, the first called Matte Revolution. Which as you can imagine from the name holds 12 matte shades from pale pinks to deep browns. I however went for the other palette. The Shocking Sparkle Shades which really caught my eye, with 12 stunningly sparkly shades it's hard not to fall in love with it! The packaging is very sleek and black, I love that it comes with a mirror on the inside, perfect for travelling! Above you can see the palette both with and without the flash on the camera. The flash really does make the colours pop but it looks beautiful in both! Photo's really don't do this palette justice. This palette has 12 gorgeous sparkly shades ranging from deep and dark black with silver glitter to deep blues and pale nudes that feel like butter! These shadows are a dream to work with. They feel so creamy and buttery, there is barely any fall out which I love! They apply beautifully and with a lot of pigment as you can see from the swatches down below. They blend out nicely and work well with mattes from other brands. As long as you wear a primer before using these shadows then they are longwearing and don't crease. I can honestly say I am so impressed with this palette! Before I purchased this I was a Kiko virgin so I wasn't sure what to expect but I have to say that this exceeded all my expectations! This palette gets a 9/10 the only reason I have marked it down is because I fee like the packaging could of been more eye catching (I am a packaging whore!!) The actual shadows work amazingly, they are some of the creamiest shadows I have worked with. They last all day looking perfect right until you take it off. It didn't crease or cause any irritation. The pigmentation is crazy good and rivals that of Juvia's Place (Click here for a review on the Nubian Palette) I can't believe how well they perform and they don't even give you fall out! I am so excited to go and try some more of their products and I hope they bring out some more sparkly palettes! I hope you enjoyed the post lovelies! Until Next Time, P.s The total for the "How Much Was My Face" Dior Addition is a whopping - £409.50 - Who guessed correctly or was close?! Let Me Know, KL x

I agree, the packaging is quite dull, but the actual shades are STUNNING!

The shades look beautiful. Have you done a look with them yet? I have had my eye on this palette since it was released. I already have some Kiko matte shades which are great but you can't beat sparkly shades especially at this time of year coming up to Christmas. Good choice, I would have gone for those colours too.

I have been buying at Kiko for years (since 2009). At first, I wasn't even sure what to buy so got a pretty basic duo eyeshadow as I didn't want to spend a lot if the product did not work for me, but I was surprised with even that. I have bought both full price products and ones on sale/ promos as well as products from their seasonal collections which do tend to be pricier than the individual products in the standard Kiko range. I was just looking on the Kiko site for Black Friday the products I wanted (single glitter shadows and the Wet and Dry Powder Foundation are normal price but the Buy 3 Get 3 Products Free offer is one I would recommend to you. It's across the whole product range instore & online and is sometimes on a few times a year. I'm still using my products from 2 years ago- they last so long and are still applying well. A few High Pigmant Wet and Dry Eyeshadows, some Water Shadows and an HD Lipgloss. All the products I mention in this post are what I would recommend (the Water Shadows are beautiful and the Wet and Dry Powder Foundation (Just called Wet and Dry Powder now) is a staple in my makeup bag, Bit pricey but worth it and the packaging on all these products is nice (although every product still comes in a black cardboard box). Smart Lipsticks are good too. The only product I don't like personally are the Kiko nail varnishes (rectanglar bottles as they don't apply too well, were patchy for me but the nail care (eg strenthener) is good. I actually throw the boxes out after reviewing and swatching as they tend to rip. Mascaras are good too 30 Day Day and Night Mascaras, and the Base Coat Mascara as well as a waterproof mascara in a white tube with a blue cap. Look out for their half price offer on all mascaras- a few times a year. That's great too. So Kiko is one of my go to shops.
