KIKO Proves That High Quality Makeup Doesn't Need To Break The Bank | Budget Beauty Week

January can be a pretty tough month for budgeting, once all the fun of Christmas is over, many of us are simply counting the days until the next payday. That's why this week on Hope, Freedom, Love I'm bringing my readers Beauty Budget Week. A whole week dedicated to beauty products that perform well but don't break the bank. Meaning that you can treat yourself to something new and not feel the new year guilt!

Today I wanted to talk about KIKO as they honestly provide something that you can't get from a lot of companies. They offer high quality makeup, which doesn't break the bank. Proving that you don't have to compromise on quality if you're working on a budget. KIKO MILANO was first established in 1997 by Percassi. It is famously an Italian professional cosmetics brand, which prides itself in creating a range of cutting-edge products. They aim for their products to be safe, effective and accessible for women of absolutely any age. 

KIKO have been talking the blogging world by storm, and if I'm honest I find myself on their website at least once a week looking at their latest products. They seem to be launching new products very quickly and they all seem to be performing to the standard that people have come to expect. Of course there are similar products available at a lower price, but my point here is that by choosing KIKO you don't have to compromise. 

Some of my favourite products by KIKO are the Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadows, I have the shades ‘Golden Mauve’ and 'Golden Brown'. These stick eyeshadows from KIKO get some pretty RAVE reviews and the reviews are 100% justified. The colours are really pigmented, they are creamy when you apply them and then they set and stay in place all day long! They give the likes of By Terry and Laura Mercier a run for their money, for a fraction of the price. There are actually 32 different shades to choose from, so I know that there will be more coming into my collection this year. 

The Rebel Romantic Bouncy Blush in ‘Treasure Rose’ is part of a Limited Edition Collection and I'm pretty tempted to pick up a back up before it's too late. It’s a special blush formula, which is a satin matte finish, which is a lightweight powder, which is very velvety and bouncy to the touch. The colour is very pigmented and it's unlike anything I've ever seen, both on the high street and in high end makeup. 

If you want to get some good quality makeup that isn't stupidly expensive, KIKO is honestly a very good place to start.
