Now on the shelves of specialized stores there are a lot of imported cosmetics. How to understand such a huge assortment? Are foreign products always of high quality? Let us dwell on the brand of the famous Italian manufacturer - this is Kiko cosmetics. Consider its advantages and disadvantages based on consumer feedback.
A few words about the company
How did Kiko cosmetics come about? Reviews of women indicate that they have been waiting for this brand to enter the Russian market for a long time. The company itself was founded in a town near Milan called Bergamo. This happened relatively recently. But the products of Kiko Make Up Milano have already managed to win the hearts of a huge number of women in Italy, and in Spain, and in Colombia, and now in Russia. This brand is represented by face and skin hand care products, as well as a wide variety of decorative cosmetics. It is worth noting that the prices of Kiko products are relatively low, given that it has high European quality.
For hands
Here, Kiko cosmetics is presented with several products - restoring and moisturizing hand creams, Winter Balm cream for protecting skin in winter, and a collection of creams from three mini-bottles called Unconventional Blooms Hand Cream Trio.
It is worth noting that each such product costs about 730-850 rubles. And the price of the last set is 1,550 rubles. At first glance, it is certainly expensive. But let's see what customers say about the quality of goods. There are a lot of positive reviews about these funds. People write that hand creams of this brand are perfectly absorbed without leaving greasy marks, they have a very light pleasant aroma.
For skin care
What else does this brand offer us? Facial skin is very demanding to care. Manufacturers of this cosmetics understand this. To create facial care products, they used the latest technology and quality raw materials. The Italian Kiko cosmetics are presented here with the following products: delicate foams, milk and gel for washing, hydrophilic oil for delicate makeup removal, cleansing wet wipes saturated with moisturizing lotion, face masks, moisturizing creams, lip balms and serum. The cost of these funds varies from 850 to 1,700 rubles. Do the quality of these products meet their high enough cost? Many buyers are sure that such cosmetics are worth buying. Cleansers, such as foams and milk, have a very light, subtle, pleasant aroma, delicate texture.
A hydrophilic oil deserves a separate discussion - a product that is not in all manufacturers' arsenal. This is a very light oily makeup remover. Women say that it is incredibly convenient to use: just spray several times on a cotton sponge and wipe your face. It removes cosmetics from the eyes completely and without difficulty, while not irritating the skin.
Face creams are also very good, according to consumers. The skin after their use looks fresh, its color is leveled. At the same time, they are absorbed quickly, without leaving a greasy shine. These funds have one drawback: they are intended only for young women. Even creams declared as 3D Lifting products do not tighten the skin at all and wrinkles do not reduce. So says most buyers.
But especially our women from all products of the Italian brand liked Kiko decorative cosmetics.
Foundation
The tonal products are represented by the following products: powder, makeup base cream, makeup fixation cream, foundation, powder bronzer, concealer, blush. Russian women have already tested many products from this category of goods. They write that the powder is very good, lies in a thin layer, is transparent, does not cause allergies. Blushers are sold in a small jar - only 5 g. However, they are surprisingly economical. Apply easily, do not dust, hold all day.
According to some users, only brand foundation is not entirely successful with this brand. It is equipped with a dispenser, which is often clogged with dried product residues. However, its masking effect is also far from ideal. The cream hides all the redness and acne, but emphasizes every unevenness on the face. Therefore, users do not recommend using it in the presence of enlarged pores, peeling, tubercles on the skin and other defects.
For eye and lip makeup
Kiko cosmetics in Russia appeared mainly in specialized stores. Our women are actively buying lipsticks, shadows and mascaras of this brand. Moreover, they note that Kiko lipsticks are simply fantastic: they lie flat, do not spread, do not roll, they last all day. And what a variety of shades! True, they are not cheap: from 730 to 1,130 rubles.
The shadows of this company from the most daring shades to the classic. According to women, they are of good quality: to the touch - a little rough, but they lie on the skin very evenly, hold perfectly and do not roll.
But eyeliners and eyeliners did not cause delight among our consumers. Those who have tried these products write that the quality is not bad, but they are nothing special.
Mascaras, voluminous and lengthening, are also of fairly good quality. They make the eyes expressive. At the same time, the product does not crumble, it keeps well throughout the day.
For nails
If somewhere you can find a wide variety of the most amazing shades of nail polish, then this is Kiko Milano cosmetics. Varnishes dry very quickly. But here their merits, according to many consumers, end. By cons include:
• a thick uncomfortable brush that does not allow to evenly apply the product;
• a thick consistency (putting a thin even layer does not work);
• poor durability (the varnish coating is erased on the third day);
• composition that badly affects the health of nails (they quickly become brittle and begin to exfoliate).
The cost of nail polishes of this company is from 430 to 990 rubles. Considering that our consumers didn’t particularly like this product, we can say that the price is too high.
We talked about such Italian-made products as Kiko cosmetics. In our country, it is already enjoying considerable popularity.
