The colour I bought was pretty much a perfect dupe of MAC's Brulee (which I've worn virtually every day for the past 5 years) but at a quarter of the price and for twice as much product. It looks slightly lighter in the pan, but they are barely distinguishable from each other on my lids. The powder goes on smoothly, is pretty opaque, and lasts well on top of primer. Bye-bye Brulee!

I got to pick up some of Kiko's eyeshadows when I was in Italy. I was so excited to try them out. I got number 233 and 234, both cool brown tones for autumn. They're fairly decent pigmented and apply nicely. The packaging is a bit of a miss though. The lid is made out of a "milky" plastic, which makes it quite hard to figure out the colour when just looking at it (when closed). Definitely going to get some more next time though.

EDIT:
Worst eye shadows ever made! The colour does NOT stay on what so ever, fades very very easily. And it's quite a pain in the butt to apply as it's not easy to blend well. Thankfully I only own 2 shades. Such a no-no.

I never heard about this brand until I saw their shop in Strasbourg. After checking reviews here in MUA, I gave it a go. I have one in taupe(124) and light frosty pink(141) and they are quite impressive. I have oily eyelids, but once I put these on my UD primer potion they last all day without creasing!!! I'll definitely buy more when I travel to Europe!

I bought two shades of this product in Italy: a gorgeous, warm-pink illuminator and a sparkly brown. I have to say, they are absolutely fantastic ! Highly pigmented indeed, beautiful, sparkly colours, and the best surprise: they're really long-lasting, without smudging or creasing. The best eye-shadows I've ever bought. And for 3 euro each, they were a bargain as well !

Great eyeshadow that stays on. I use shade 120 (dark brown) as a liner with my Mac angled brush and it gives me a clean defined line. I also use shade 167 (white) as a highlighter. Very pigmented and creaseproof.

I got one of the duo eye shadows. It's the number 104 and the colors are light pink and grey. The thing is, it has got plenty of glitter and sparkle in it and sometimes it falls off on to my cheeks. Other than that, the colors are very pigmented and look absolutely gorgeous! It's one of my favorite eye shadows to wear for parties and just when I come down with some glam fever :)

i own a lot of them, because when they go on sale they cost only 2 or 3 euros i can't remember. I like most of them, they are pigmented but to chalky, far too chalky really. A lot of fall out, almost as the urban decay ones! anyway they are cheap. Only thing: why don't they do palettes? they are unconfortable with their packaging and i always depot them.

The new formula of Kiko's eyeshadows is amazing and better than the previous one. They are pretty silky, smooth and very pigmented!!! They are 3 gr ( 0.10 OZ) ad last 24 months. I have 3 of them:
N°122 is the perfect taupe for my light blue eyes. I wear it during the day, it's perfect for school or work for a classy but formal look, and also for going out in the night if you're in a hurry combined to a purple lipstick. I have already hit pan on it, and I have had it for a year and a half!
N° 61 is a vintage gold, the same quality as N°122.
N°101 is a light gold with sparkles. I have bought it as it reminded me Ricepaper from MAC, but I was disappointed because it doesn't show up very well, it's quite sheer but you can definetely see the sparkles (honestly the tester was the same as the actual es.... my bad!)

I have one in dark brown (120) and it's lovely. It's pigmented, it lasts the whole day, the packaging is cute and sturdy and you get a lot of product. I would buy more colors, if I could find them in here.

Woah, I'm love! I found a KIKO store yesterday in my "usual" shopping-mall: brand new and open! I just went to have a look but when I saw the prices I decided to also try something out. Hence, I got a 'normal' eyeshadow in "125" and a colour sphere e/s in "32" as well. The former is about 4,90 €, the latter comes at 5,90 € so both of them were quite cheap. The quality you get for this little money is amazing, to say the least. #125 is a deep brown-grey with a heavenly satin finish. It's unlike any other colour I have in my stash and there are a lot of neutrals, believe me. MAC's "Shale" comes close but is a little more on the purple side. The Kiko e/s is perfect for a cold, but neutral smokey-eye. The lasting power (on a base!) is great, too, and it makes my blue-green eyes pop. The #32 is a baked mineral e/s with a lot of coarse glitter in the pan. Once applied, however, the glitter is not that obvious anymore. Colourwise it's pretty close to the other e/s although without the grey tint, so it's a dark chocolate brown, perfect for blue eyes. Both e/s apply evenly and can be easily blended out. They're amazingly pigmented and yes, I daresay you get MAC quality for only a third of the price. They're THAT good. Even the packaging is quite similar to MAC's, although the pans are so much bigger. But the plastic pan and the black cardboard around it? Totally reminded me of MAC. I do realize KIKO is difficult to come by but if you find a story somewhere, get some of this stuff. You won't regret it. I'm a new fan!

Ahh, I wish Kiko was available here! This eyeshadow is incredible. I got it in shade #129, this gorgeous sandy-shimmery-glittery color. I typically don't wear glitter, especially to work, but this is my go-to shadow for everyday wear because it gives me eyes a glow while appearing almost nude. The formula is incredible, it goes on smooth, doesn't crease, and even by the end of the day I don't have glitter flakes on my cheekbones...this shadow stays put! The price is amazing too. I can't believe I can't find this stuff online to have it shipped to me...if anyone has any suggestions on how to get my hands on some more of this stuff I would love to hear it!

I'm so surprised by the quality of these shadows! Before I got them I'd only tried a pencil eyeliner by this brand and I didn't like it because I was allergic to it, I'm allergic to so many things! I got the shadow thanks to MUA! Well it is amazing. It goes on so smooth, good colour that you can actually see, it stays, blends very nicely too if you want to blend. If you blend it doesn't get muddy. I also agree that it's in general better than MAC, and I like MAC too. Only con is compared to MAC it doesn't have so many shades, but then again hardly anyone has the range that MAC has. Kiko still has a lot of colours though. I can't wait to get some more!

I got this in 68, which was supposed to be a shimmering white eyeshadow. It was not. The white part doesn't show up, and only shimmer particles show up. So the colour pay-off was bad, but I learned another way to use this e/s. As my MU collection is still pretty small, whenever I feel the need for a shimmery colour I don't own, I just mix the matte version I have with this one. Ta-dah!

So overall this is useful, but not for the original purpose. Anyway, I give this 3 lippies because I have tried some other colours at the store or the ones my sisters/mom own, and they're simply great. I'd absolutely repurchase tons of this (Only 2€!!!)

Amazing eyeshadows!!!! I am not much an eyeshadow person, but since these were so cheap (€4,90) I gave them a try. I bought two, in 139 Pearly Salmon and 78 Pearly Golden Green. The first one is a great neutral colour for everyday use, perfect when paired with black eyeliner and mascara. I am amazed at the second one in particular, which makes a fabulous bright without being overpowering. I couldn't praise enough their texture, smooth and soft finish, great staying power, and most of all how flattering they are on my blue eyes. I will definitely buy more shades!! There's a great range.
They come in a nice round box with clear cap, really pretty for such an economical make up brand.

These are my new favourite shadows. Kiko is an italian boutique brand that is sold in large cities in europe. I bought mine in Berlin there is 2 stores in Berlin. In Finland and in Norway there is none so only downside with this brand that it is still so hard to find. These shadows cost well under 10 euros and there was a sale in the store I was so I think they were only 2 or 4 euros, I can not remember really. I have 5 colours and I like these overal better than MAC shadows, there are different finishes and I find these more vibrant and pigmented than MAC shadows. I especially like those mat shades here.

I have 77 which is like MAC aquadisiac, but more pigmented and better.
41 is the most gorgeous purple shade that I know of really vibrant and mat.
03 is a camel shade that is really great mat shadow though I dont like it as much becasue it is a tad too warm for me.
87 is a pink with glitters and 68 is a silver with glitters. I like tham for party look and as a highlight and I loove that even though they are shimmery, they are not frosty shimmery taht brings the wrinkles out, weirdly.
