KIKO's Ocean Feel Range || Is it actually Summer-proof?

KIKO Ocean Feel Summer-proof makeup review

As soon as I booked my holiday to Gran Canaries, I was excited for Summer. Which, if you know me, you'll know is rare - I'm more of an Autumn and Spring person if I'm honest.

I was recently inspired by Lauren to do a "My week in outfits" post, but I quickly realised that my work clothes aren't really that exciting. They're very office appropriate, but that's about it. So I thought I would do a week in makeup instead, as I have a fair amount of makeup and I thought it would be a great way to kind of display a few products.

The e.l.f £5 Sculpting Eyeshadow, is it any good?

Well, well, well... A budget friendly eyeshadow that resembles the Kat Von D "Shade & Light" eye contour quad - Could it be too good to be true? Yes, yes it is.
