Kiko Milano makeup haul and swatches

The Kiko Milano makeup brand was originally manufactured and sold in Italy only. A recent trip to the mall made me discover that now its also sold in NYC Queens Mall. I was very excited because I have heard lots of nice reviews on this brand. The store is nicely displayed with newer and limited edition products in the center, and permanent ones along the walls. The sales people were really nice and helpful. Although they couldnt seem to find a decent matching foundation for me, and kept telling me its a good match no matter which shade they tried on me. Its not their fault since its never easy to find a matching foundation inside a store with artificial lighting.

The first time I was there, I went overboard with the purchase. Of course that happens with every makeup lover when it comes to new and foreign beauty products. I grabbed as many varieties of makeup as I could, but retrained myself from getting every single colors from every products. I was really happy that they offer this store credit cashback perks. For every $7 you spend in the store, you get $1 back. Thats a great marketing strategy because customers will have to come back again to use the store credit. Who would turn away practically free money to spend on more makeup products?! Therefore, I went back to spend my $30 cashback store credit the following week after consulting social media on what other products to get from them. I did return a foundation because it was turning orange on me, and the return policy was not bad. Since one of my social media friends recommended nail polishes to me, and I already have tons of nail polishes that I dont even use anymore, I still went ahead and used my store credit on few polishes and lash products. Even after using the store credit and went over a little, I got another $9 cashback! Now I just have to go back again and try to use up that.

Below are the swatches of all the Kiko makeup items I got so far. 

I did a Summer look using some of Kiko's products that I got from the first trip with the exception of foundation because I had to return one that was too orange on me. The second skin serum type foundation will be in a separate review so Im not going to include the product and swatch here.
