As promised, here’s an FOTD featuring the latest release from Kiko, Daring Game, as posted about here. ย I’ve used three products from Daring Game, the Mystery Smoky Eye Pencil in Heady Rock Brown which is awesome and a definite new favourite, plus two lip products; the Ace of Diamond Lipstick and Lip Pencil, both in the shade Distinct Golden Hibiscus.
I used the Mystery Smoky Eye Pencil in a fairly thick line all around the eye, which I then blended out with the brush at the end of the pencil. ย Both the pencil and the brush are wonderful, making daytime definition extremely achievable, even if you have just a minute to apply some eye make-up. ย The formula is creamy and easy to move around, whilst the hint of shimmer in this shade gives light to the eye making it a very flattering look. ย I love this pencil and I can see myself using it lots, but be warned, there are two tops – one for the brush and one for the pencil – and if you get these the wrong way around then you will have yourself a very blunt pencil *goes off to hunt down pencil sharpener*…
The lip products were a bit of a disappointment as they appeared a beautiful pinky shade in my swatches, but on my lips they’re a deeper red with orange undertones, so not my favourite shade. ย The pencil is good and easy to use and the lipstick is what I’d call a typical lipstick finish; not too matte, not too dewy. ย All-in-all they’re fine, just not my choice of shade. ย The lipstick held up extremely well with both eating and drinking, so it’s definitely long-lasting.

Very pretty! I love that lip colour on you!
Thanks so much Gio! xx
I was just about to post exactly that- the lip colour is really flattering on you. Xx
Thanks so much! It’s a lot more orangey red than I’d normally go for but maybe I should give these sort of shades more consideration. I just can’t leave my pinks though! xx
