KISS Cosmetic's - Sample Kiss and Sheer Stick's

KISS Cosmetics website

KISS cosmetic's are line of cosmetic's catering in Lip product's. I was kindly sent one but then i purchased 4 of my own to expand the colour range.

They say :

Colour Is Our Passion Make It Yours. Kiss Cosmetics is a line that solely focusses on quality lip products. The lip shades have been carefully selected to compliment all skin tones and affordability. The nourishing formulations ensure your lips can wear highly pigmented splashes of colour. Appealing to every occasion, offering treatment's to keep lip's healthy or a colour changer to create your own unique shade's.  

"My vision was to create a fashion forward, wild colour cosmetics brand that offers unique innovative twists along the way." Creator - Danielle Fenwick

What are Sample size's ? 

Miniature version of KISStick (Same formula) just a mini. Consisting of 10 pigmented shades. Whatever your doing KISStick wont neglect your lips with this moisturising and enriched formula.

Kiss Stick : Passionate Peach 

Passionate Peach : A ‘cheeky’ yellow based nude peach, perfect for warm undertones. Really like this light nude coral colour which can be used during the day or as a centre highlight for a ombre lip effect. The formula is creamy and easy to apply, very opaque and pigmented for a light coral. 

Kiss Stick : Toxic Kiss 

Toxic Kiss : Dangerous, potent and PINK! A cool toned neon pink destined to brighten up your world.  I adore this colour as its a vibrant, intense pink shade. It gives the most amazing pigmented colour, also when applied it stays creamy and not sticky. The formula is very creamy and applies so easily on the lip's. I will probably purchase a full size of this colour as i really love how it looks. 

Kiss Stick : Frisky Fuchsia

Frisky Fuchsia : A delicious raspberry, not too cool so as to suit most skin tones. This is another personal favourite as its really a bright raspberry shade. It's the perfect transitional shade for the summer to autumn season, when the berry shades start to appear. 

Sheer Stick : Flamingo

Flamingo : A vivid fuchsia pink with blue undertones. The sheer stick is like a balm with a hint of colour, fantastic for the day time or occassions where you may wish to have a more natural look. 

I like that KISS specialises on one set of product's as then you become a master of your art. With the release of Sample size you can now trial the formulation, pigmentation and texture before purchasing the full sized product. I would have loved to purchase the whole set to swatch and use to gain a broader idea of the shade's offered.

I really like the formula as it is creamy and applies really easily. The pigment is rich and opaque on application, plus it doesnt  make the lips feel dry. The lips feel creamy and not sticky. It's long wearing and i only lightly re-applied if i was eating and drinking whilst wearing. Im very happy with the product and feel trying the product beforehand is a huge positive. However with every review there are some experiences i would like to give feedback on. 

Con's 

 I love the sample sizes yet the £2.00 price tag, whilst i can appriciate its a professional finish, I felt it was a little expensive. I'd be happier with a simple design to bring the cost down. Main reason many brands offer full sized lipsticks cheaper. 

 I tried a coupon code to purchase more yet it did not accept. Maybe the website had a bad day and not working for me. Customer service was helpful but i tried all options suggested. I wanted to get this review completed and published so i obtained what i could.

Glossybox 2nd birthday box

So happy 2nd Birthday Glossybox !!! 

So with Glossybox being in its second year i thought maybe it would be something special and boy i was not wrong. They have given us ups and downs through the 2 years but overall they still deliver samples to us subscribers with gusto and effort, some months are better then others as too are some boxes but i must say the effort is appreciated so happy birthday and long may the pink box of happy (as i call it) continue. 

So we all know the theme to this month and was a pretty insert with balloons and happy vibes all around.

The Contents 

• Givenchy - Noir couture mascara 
• Caudalie - Divine Oil 
• Beautiful movements cosmetics - Prime and create mixing medium
• Nails inc - Portabello 
• Premae - Harmony balm

Extra gift of Glossybox Emery boards 

Nails inc polish and extra glossybox gift 

Was really happy to see nails inc polish again as i was after a coral colour for the summer and this portabello is a orange toned coral colour which i think will give a really great mid-tone between the neon and coral trends this season.

Glossybox emery boards as an extra gift were lovely and super cute with the wrapping, nice handbag staple.

 Givenchy - Noir couture mascara 

Now this sample i was super impressed with as this is high end to its best, the last thing anyone wants is to buy a high end mascara and hate it. So with this new innovative brush which looks very interesting, plus I've never tried a Givenchy cosmetic. So glossybox hit the nail on the head with this product.

Beautiful movements - Prime and create mixing medium

Now this is a brand I've not heard of and was previously BM beauty then former pussycat doll (from my understanding) now has rebranded and Beautiful movements cosmetics is now whats in its place. This is the most interesting product and i must admit the one I'm dying to crack open and use. As I've counted 4 possible uses for this product.

Primer

Foundation additive for airbrush effect 

Makes powder blush and bronzers to cream based tints

Makes eyeshadow pigments into liquid eyeliners 

So thats a lot of use for one product and I'm guessing from the texture and look its a silicone based product so i need to test and investigate. I will be doing a look book post with this product to see the finish on each particular claim. Plus this will be fantastic if it works as in winter when powders can be drying and caked looking to turn into cream tints will really help with application and finished results.

Caudalie - Divine oil 

Now im thinking the price maybe wrong on the information leaflet as to the full size but I'm loving this sample as its huge for starters being Caudalie and we all need some divinity in our beauty lives.

Multi-use product again for hair, skin, nails and face plus can be added to the bath as well or for massaging. So this again is like heaven in a jar for me as i get dry areas. So this oil infused with grape and sesame to name a few ingredients is natural and just again big thumbs up from me.

Premae - Harmony balm

This is not a product I've heard of and not even the brand so its a new find for me which is always great as the point of glossybox is to find gems you may not come across in everyday shopping or browsing.

Infused with Aloe vera butter, again can be used as a primer and especially good for acne prone as contains natural antiseptic lemongrass oil. Also says can help reduce oil in the skin so I'm not too sure how good this would be for dry skins and maybe more suited for oily. Will need to do more reading on this products website. Again nice sized sample and really will try to see how it fits with my skincare.

So im really impressed and happy with my Glossybox this month, i think they really did offer some high end quality products in this box which I'm excited to try. So happy 2nd birthday and long may Glossybox continue.
