My lipstick collection has grown so much over the last year and I thought it was about time I posted my collection more for me really so I can remind myself what products I actually have and when I am planning a makeup look I can look at the swatches for reference. I currently hold my lipsticks in a four draw white heart cut out set of draws which I can't find online but here is a similar style of draws for you.
I separate my lipsticks by shades so I have a draw for my Newlook lipsticks, a draw for my nudes, a draw for my reds and berrys and the last draw holds my pink shades and other shades which I don't wear very often or which don't fit in the other draws because they are too full.
The first draw holds all of my Newlook Lipsticks in since that is the biggest collection I have. I have wrote quite a few posts on the brands makeup range so if you want to know about their formula and application head on over to either of these posts Pure Lips, Pure Lips #2, Pure Lips #3. Two of my favoruites are Mid Brown and Camel.
Second I have my nude draw which keeps all of my, yes you guessed it nudes! I have quite a few browns nudes which are my favourite shade to wear and some of my favourites products are the NYX Matte Lip Cream in Abu Dhabi which I have spelt completely wrong in the photo and Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in Heather Shimmer.
In my third draw I have all my berry and red tone lipsticks and looking at the swatches of the red shades are making me very excited for summer! Bodyshop Tahiti Hisiscus is a gorgeous pinky red shade which lasts a long time and Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet Red is the perfect statement red.
Lastly in my fourth draw I keep all of my pink colours and any other lipstick which don't fit in my other draws like my Bodyshop Matte Lipsticks which don't fit in my nude draw. This would probably be my least opened draw just because I love most of my other lipsticks over any of these at the minute, but writing this post has made me want to delve back into this draw frequently and love some my forgotten products.
Kiko is fast becoming one of favourite brands for eye products after trying some more great cream eye shadows recently. I already have quite a few products from Kiko that I love so when I went into the Kiko shop in Oxford, I went straight to the eye section and picked up some cream eye shadows to try.
The first item I picked up and become obsessed with is the Kiko Cream Crush Lasting Colour Eye Shadow in 01 Pearly Vintage Rose. This is a lovely soft golden cream with shimmer partials in it that looks lovely by itself to make your eye lids pop a little. You can apply a small layer to add a little subtle sparkle to your lids or you can pack a lot of product on to make it a real eye catching gold shimmer effect. This is also a great product to use as a highlighter as well which was one of the reasons I picked this shade in the first place.
The next products I picked up are these Kiko Long Lasting Sticks in the shades 28 Bright Ivory and 05 Rosey Brown. They claim to last for up to 8 hours and don't transfer once they are set and I do have to agree with that statement. I first apply these first thing in the morning and by the time I get home 10 hours later the product is still in place and hasn't gone cakey or faded at all. The first time I wore them I was amazed with the pigmentation and how well they lasted on my eyes. I usually run the sticks over my eyes and then use a fluffy brush or my fingers to blend the product out, I like to use number 05 all over my lids and then use number 28 on the inner corners of my eye to brighten up my eyes.

After trying all of these products I am definitely looking to invest in some more eye products next time I find a Kiko shop on my travels. Are there any products you want to try or think I should?
