The Kiko Generation Next is their spring entry – lots of vivid shades and interesting textures (and a cushion CC) – but the item I like best is this mosaic blush. I know mosaic has been done before but this is just a gorgeous looking version that made me literally smile when I opened it. There are four shades to this and the colour I have here is Luminous Baby Pink (£14.90).
Pay-off isn’t amazing but it’s perfectly buildable for pretty spring cheeks.
The Cool Touch Eyeshadow (£8.90)! I said they were coming, and here’s the first I’ve seen for the UK market. A cushion eye-shadow. It’s not quite the same texturally as cushion foundation or blush in that it isn’t as liquidy or bouncy but there is definitely a slight creme/liquid element to it, hence the name ‘cool touch’.
As you can see, the pay-off is off the scale! This shade is Alluring Turquoise. It ends up as a dry finish and you can use it as liner or shadow – or actually, as a wash because the texture is quite versatile. There are 8 shades in this selection.
It’s anyone’s guess why this is called Frosted Look – although it’s billed as shine, I thought it erred to the side of matte, but I like how they’ve pointed the nib.
The nib gives a lipstick effect to a lip pen. My sample isn’t named, but it’s 06 in number (£7.50).
Kiko is basically King of Liner – I’ve never had a Kiko Liner that I didn’t like. For the Kiko Generation Next collection, there are six Crystal Eyeliners (£6.90).
The pay-off is great; they’re soft and creamy but stay well on the eye. The shades I have here are 04 (dark grey) and 06 (green).
The Kiko Generation Next collection hasn’t quite made it on-line yet, but it’s launching any day now.

I love the look of the mosaic blush and the colour looks so pretty too. Although I wouldn’t wear that colour eyeshadow – I love the pigmentation of it. Great post! 🙂 Neelam xx

Jane, have the settings for RSS readers been changed deliberately? I can now only read ‘after the jump’ if I click through to the site. Not happening while I’m on my morning commute, which is when I read my blog feeds. Any chance of changing it back so we can read everything via an RSS reader, please?
Yes, I’ve changed it and I know it’s a pain for some people but I need to do it for a while to see if it affects stats (my, how blogging has changed!) – if you can bear with me for a little longer.. if there is no significant change in stats, then I will revert. I’m really sorry because I know it’s very annoying if you are used to reading in a specific way.
Ooh, I love Kiko eyeliner.
Oh I love the colour of the blusher such a sweet pink. xox
