The Perfect Cheekstain


On the spotlight is another drugstore brand from London -- Kiko Cosmetics. 

Its the first time that i got to try this brand, and I loved their Water Blush Cheekstains at first sight! :) 

I was a fan of cheekstains as well, but i hated how hard it is to work with cheekstains coz you need to make sure your cheek is well moisturized, and you have to make sure you blend the blush quickly after dotting it or else it would leave a mark on the spot where you initially dotted it. 

Also, some cheekstains emphasize the size of the pores, some doesnt look natural and some are that pigmented that it would be easy to overdo. 



Again, this one's an exception, Im starting to love the quality of products from UK, that even the drugstore brands have better quality than mid-end  American brands ive already tried. 

The formula has a texture of light gelcreme, i assume its water based since upon contact with the fingers or cheeks, it instantly melts and makes blending a breeze. Dot it, leave it for a few seconds and blend it, it wouldnt leave a streak on the skin. The colors ive tried so far are Pretty Pink and Berry Sparkle.
