I had a mini splurge on Milan brand Kiko yesterday (on a busman’s holiday…what do I do on a rare day off" Go and buy makeup.
Kiko is super-affordable, the stores are sleek and amazing yet the prices are Superdrug (almost) and they have a lot of new launches out this season.

GEL EFFECT NAIL DUO and THE NEW 3D HYDRA LIPGLOSS
My two top picks from this stash are the nail duo and fabulous -that shape! – hydrating lipgloss. The Hourglass/Marc Jacobs reminiscent style lip gloss is just gorgeous and the gloss texture itself doesn’t disappoint. It slicks on evenly, it’s super-shiny neutral in taste, hydrating and stays on for a while and is completely non-sticky. (It contains a few oils for the moisturising factor). 3D is right, lips look a little fuller almost and the shine is the light equivalent to surround sound (remember when that was a “thing”") This gloss looks fantastic as a topcoat over a dusky/spicy rose or mauve-beige lipstick (like MAC’s Twig) and this one is shade no. 20

Such a cool design to slick on your lips halfway through dinner in Milan…and if you’ve had bad luck with glosses that dry out your lips, have a look at this one.
