KIKO Candy Split | AW2017 | KIKO’s 20th Anniversary Capsule Collection

This year, KIKO MILANO is celebrating their 20th anniversary. To celebrate their anniversary, they have joined forces with seven international brands, which have been created by young and up-and-coming designers. The sixth capsule collection is called ‘Candy Split’ and is a collaboration with Nicolò Beretta of Giannico. As you’ve probably already guessed by the name of the collection, she was inspired by irresistible desserts and confectionery. Taking concepts from colourful sprinkles, delicious marshmallows and all things candy. All the products in the collection have been designed to be dual purpose, allowing you to really play with the collection and use the products how you feel inspired! Everything is practical and so feminine, let’s take a closer look at you have to choose from …




Candy Split Eyeshadow* (£5.90) and Candy Split Eye Pencil* (£5.90)
The Candy Split Eyeshadow is actually a cream formulation, which is held in a tube. The eyeshadow has been designed to have an intense colour pay off, whilst giving you long-lasting pretty colour. There are four different shades in the collection, including 01 Violet Cupcake, 02 Mauve Lollipop, 03 Golden Sorbet and 04 Mild Green. To finish your eye look, we have the Candy Split Eye Pencil – a creamy eye pencil which allows you to create well defined lines. It actually arrives with a pencil sharpener, so you don’t need to hunt around for something that fits it perfectly! There are four shades of these too; 01 Rosy Marshmallow, 02 Candy Iris, 03 Sweet Milk Mint and 04 Chewy Liquorice.




Candy Split Lips Mattifier* (£5.90)
I love the concept of the Candy Split Lips Mattifier, as it allows you to turn even your creamiest lipstick into a completely matte finish. Perfect if you have a favourite lipstick, which you’d love to wear in a completely new finish, just what you need in the winter months! 




Candy Split Lipstick* (£5.90)
The Candy Split Lipstick arrive in traditional lipstick packaging, but it’s a super skinny design, which I think makes them look super cute! The formulation has been designed to be really pigmented, but also luminous on the lips. The small shape of the lipstick makes it super easy to apply – meaning you can do it on-the-go mistake free. All of the shades are designed to be pastel and fun, with four different ones to choose from: 01 Cherished Rose, 02 Lovely Lavender, 03 Violet Glaze and 04 Creamy Sage. 




Candy Split Lip Scrub* (£6.90)
I actually think the Candy Split Lip Scrub is one of my favourite products from the whole collection. The Lip Exfoliating Scrub arrives in a gorgeous glass jar and uses sugar crystals to gently smooth lips. The formulation is also infused with precious emollient oils, which makes them super soft too. Of course, as you’d expect, the Candy Split Lip Scrub smells incredible and has a delicate strawberry flavour!




Candy Split Makeup Blender* (£6.90)
I have to admit that I can’t get over the Candy Split Makeup Blenders. They arrive in a little box which makes them look like delicate cakes, when you get inside, you find sponges have been designed to look like little macarons! KIKO say that the little sponges make the application of makeup enjoyable, but still effective, giving you an even application of any base product.




Candy Split Serum* (£15.90)
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by KIKO skincare products in the past and the Candy Split Serum is no different! It’s a lovely moisturising serum, which leaves the skin plump and with a lovely radiant finish. I love the packaging too, the baby pink casing is really sweet and the formulation has a lovely swirl effect inside the clear section. It’s a really lovely product when you consider that it’s only £15.90. 




Candy Split Nail Art Stickers* (£2.90) and Candy Split Nail Lacquer* (£2.90)
I’ve been lucky enough to try a lot of KIKO collections in the past, but they’ve never had anything like the Candy Split Nail Art Stickers before. They are really sweet and fun, just pop them onto your nails for a really sweet finishing touch to any look. They are obviously really quick to apply and I love KIKO’s idea of using them to fix nail errors and mistakes. They are two different variations of the stickers and they are great for popping on top of the Candy Split Nail Lacquers. The Candy Split Nail Lacquers are really fun topcoat enamels, which give you a confetti-like effect on the nails in loads of pastel tones. 




The lovely Candy Split capsule collection launched in October and is still available now from KIKO stores and the KIKO website. Don’t miss your chance to grab your favourites, as they sell out very quickly!
