Posted by beautifulwithbrains | February 28, 2010.

When I first saw the promo pix for Kiko Electric Town collection I couldn’t help but fall in love with the makeup the model’s wearing. The colors are so bold and bright and so me! The collection itself doesn’t disappoint either. It features a mix of colorful and natural shades so that anyone is bound to find something that appeals to them.

I usually tend to skip Kiko limited edition collections cos the prices are a bit higher than those in the permanent line but this time I’m hooked. I already have my eye on the Makeup Fixer (been looking for a decent cheap one for ages), the eye palette in Harajuku Aquamarine (the colors look so pretty and bright) and I’d love to give the blush a try too. Do you see anything below that’s appealing to you?
