Kiko Crystal Sheer Lipstick #406 Review

Kiko Crystal Sheer 406 Lipstick

Hello IMBB beauties…..

Today’s post is going to be special; not only because I am writing for my all time favorite “lipsticks’ but with this review I am completing 100 reviews and tutorials with IMBB. I feel like raising my bat but for the time being I will raise the new lipstick in my stash. one more random pick by my mom from her recent trip. I am new to this brand so I did a bit of research on brand before moving on with the product.

Packaging:

Kiko Crystal Sheer 406 comes in an interesting packaging. There is an outer paper carton which has the name, number, ingredients and all other required information. The lipstick comes in a metallic outer cover which is really glamorous. Inside the outer metallic cover is silver bullet which has to be pressed from the top. This will make the lower portion of the lipstick hang and you can pull it for use. The bullet has the word “KIKO” embossed on it. as I have only one shade from this range, I can identify it in my stash but only numbers is a con as you need to have strong memory to remember the shade in accordance to the number. Though I found names online there is no mention of names on the packaging. His particular shade is known as Tropical Orange.

Finish:

Kiko Crystal Sheer 406 is from the crystal sheer range of Kiko. I have checked online, they have variety of finishes and I might lay my hands on them once I get the right chance. The sheer formula is pretty hydrating on the lips and for the winters it is a boon to have moisturizing lipsticks.

Pigmentation:

Pigmentation is not that great considering it is in the sheer formula. It covers pigmented lips but you need to swipe it multiple times to cover the pigmentation.

Staying Power:

Due to the sheer formulation of the lipstick, the staying power is not that high. On me it stays for 2-3 hours without much food. With a lip-liner, the staying power will definitely improve. You will find the color is transferring to your tea cups or coffee mugs. Again Kiko Crystal Sheer 406 will not leave any stain on your lips.

My experience with Kiko Crystal Sheer Lipstick #406

Just because I had not mentioned any particular product to bring back from my mom’s trip I was all the more excited when she returned from the trip. It was like a bag-full of surprises. This was special as she likes this coral-orange shade a lot. Though I was shocked looking at the tube but on wearing it, I was on cloud nine. For me the ultimate orange in my stash is Bronze Orange from Maybelline, but if you have been drooling over that, I have attached a comparison picture of the two. The left one is Bronze Orange and the right one is Kiko 406. My humble request to all those who have access to this brand, make the full use of it. I am so so so loving the sheer texture of the lipstick.

Price:

6.90 pounds for 3.5gms
