So I finally decided to commit and purchase off Kylie Cosmetics again (last time was a total disaster see the blog post here) after noticing the dramatic saving on the KoKo Collection I really wanted to get my hands on the set. Normally, the matte singles are 17$ each and the glosses are 15$ each but in this set you get x3 mattes and x1 gloss (value of 66$) for just 40$!



So lets clear up the 'technical' stuff before we get into the products, I ended up purchasing two Koko Collection sets for 40$ each (total of 80$) and got free international shipping. I ordered the product on the 17th November 2016 and they arrived on the 26th November 2016, I was majorly shocked by how speedy the international shipping was this time round. 



The downside, I ended up having a custom fee of £21.02 which is roughly 26.35$ (a LOT right?). Anyhow! Both came in super cute packaging, nothing damaged, no problems. The only thing I noticed was the quality of the lip product container wrapping was easy to chip (the gold bit on the tube).




So the shades?
Khlo$
This is a very nude shade matte lipstick but more of a dark nude, it somewhat reminds me of the Literally GLOSS Kylie offers. The shade is my second favorite, it stayed on my lips pretty much all day but did go patchy after the first hour-two hours of wear. Plus I noticed every-time I took a sip out of a drink it left that horrible stain on the cup!

Okurrr
This product is a bright pink shade matte lipstick its probably suited to a blonde, or pale girl (but then again I'm just thinking of barbie) which is what this shade reminds me of. It's going to be one of the least favorite out of the collection, but that's purely down to the colour not suiting myself and something I wouldn't wear often.

A deep red tone super pigmented and honestly I've just fallen in love with the shade, it's 100% suited to dark haired people like wow! It didn't seem to patch too much and the colour stayed somewhat even (as long as you didn't touch the lips, or drink) else you might have to top up. But this is by far my favorite out of all the products in the set.

Damn Gina
This was the product out of the four I was most excited for, purely because I'm a major gloss lover. But because it looked so delicate and pretty, on the images I had seen of swatches its a light pinky, glittery, clear shade. But when I applied it onto my lips, honestly I felt like it didn't do much in terms of colour. If anything, it looked like I just had a clear, glitter gloss over the top of my natural lip colour (very disappointing). 



Overall, I'm rather impressed with Kylie Cosmetics first off she is now offering special prices (bundle packs you save money). Free shipping over X amount total cost, and speedy delivery. The only downside left with Kylie Cosmetics is the custom fees us international buyers are left with (which some companies don't seem to get there customers this charge??), and the fast sell out leaving us to rush, fight and try our hardest to be one of the first to purchase. 
Hey guys! So over the Christmas period (which seems so far away already) I was given this gorgeous 7 piece bare minerals collection set as a gift off my mum. I want to start by saying how much I love this set, purely because all the products are items I would use for an everyday makeup look. Plus they are all in a limited edition packaging / each product lid is unique compared to the usual bare minerals foundation lid etc... A perfect starter kit to an everyday look a girl could ask for selling at £57 + P&P on QVC here.
So whats included?



1. Original SPF Foundation 8g - RRP £26, Click here to view product online.
Now I already use this foundation and I purely love it! It gives a good coverage even with breakouts or blemishes, or even red skin... It never makes my skin get irritated, breakout more or even get more dry/oily. Plus you only need a small amount in the lid to complete your whole face look! (For reference, I got the colour fairly light N10 as I'm porcelain pale!)

2. Chandelight Glow Illuminator 10g - Limited edition
I must admit, I have fallen for this product its more like a rouge gel type and comes in a large size compact with a mirror inside! It's pinky tone is easy to apply on the apples of your cheeks with brush or finger! And looks 100% natural and not too heavy or dark (which makes me love it the most!), plus with the product like a gel it can easily be applied on your eyelids for matching makeup finish which I just love even more! I can honestly say I would 100% invest in this product again. 

3. Loose Blush 0.85g (Sweet Romance) - RRP £20, Click here to view product online.
With most blushes, this is a powdered one and is a very good average size tub! There isn't too much I can honestly say about this product as I much prefer using the illuminator but is easy to apply and another blush to add to my collection!

4. Loose Eye Colour (Nightfall) - Limited edition
Now when I first saw this product, I was slightly worried by the size I honestly did expect it to be a large tub with more product... The colour is very dark glitter toned but I can honestly say it shocked me! I used the smallest amount on my brush (without even using an eye primer), and it applied all over my lid with good coverage and colour! It's perfect for winter looks or even for nights out!


5. Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eyeliner 0.35g (Forever Brandy) - RRP £15, Click here to view product online.
This liner is so easy to use its crazy! The main factor I love about this is that you can draw a fine thin dramatic line.. Or use the angled smudge tip on the other side to blend out and get a smoother more lighter finish..

6. Lash Domination Mascara 11m - RRP £18, Click here to view product online.
At first when I saw this product I was unsure what to expect... The tube itself was pretty thick and wide, when I saw the brush with a twisted and unusual looking tip (first I have ever seen with this style) I knew it would instantly not get thick and blotch up. When I applied I instantly didn't have to worry about my lashes sticking together, too thick for one area.. It applied easily, and evenly! With a very natural thin finish (I love using this when I'm just running out to a local store or somewhere with a light weight finish look).

7. Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss 4.5ml (Sassy Sobert) - RRP £16, Click here to view the product online.
If you guys didn't already know, I'm a huge lover for bare minerals lip glosses they just make me feel complete! The thing I love most about this one is it's smooth soft texture that instantly hydrates my lips making them feel tasty. The colour itself is more of a darker pink and just fits perfectly with pinky colours! A huge lover for this product and would 10000% rebuy this when I run out!


Overall I love this collection, all the colours go perfect together and its all the required elements a girl would need for a perfect everyday look. My most favorite would be either the foundation, Illuminator or lipgloss! Let me know if any of you use bare minerals products & what your thoughts are below?X


This lipgloss is from Lauren's Way an Only Way Is Essex famous star who has continued her own business in tanning supplies! This product was a freebie sent to me but I know they sold these last year during the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham NEC. The colour of the lipgloss I absolutely love, it lasts a good amount of time and is very bright! However, the brush itself isn't anything special it is not angled or anything different just very basic!




Let me know your comments below! Xo
This lipgloss was bought in part of a QVC set, and I must admit this is bar far one off my favorite lip glosses I have tried so far. This is because not only the colour but when you apply this to your lips it gives a "plumping" sensation,  making your lips feel like they have enlarged twice there size! The colour is similar to a clear glossy but it has a tint of peach making your lips look a light pinky colour which has a gloss of shimmer! The brush is angled at a slant making it easy for you to apply this product into the corners of your lips, it is just perfect all round I have not found a lipgloss which I love as much as this, I am defiantly going to invest in more colours of this product! 







You can buy this product off the Bare Minerals website for £16.00 in various colours!:
