KIKO, Italian purveyors of reasonably priced high quality makeup, have released a Christmas collection which isn't very Christmassy at all. The Digital Emotions collection contains a variety of limited edition products, and some gift sets perfect for the makeup fanatic in your life.
This set is the Ultra Glossy Stylo Lipstick Set. Inside the very pretty and not at all traditionally festive (I approve) packaging, you get five lipsticks in shades of neutral beige, rose, red and hot pink.
This is where the reasonable price point makes its compromises - inside the prettily printed box, the lipsticks nestle in a plain old moulded plastic tray.

The lipsticks aren't super-high pigement, more giving a wash of semi-opaque, soft colour with a healthy gloss and shimmer. The colours are pretty wide ranging and most have a neutral base, meaning that they'll match most skintones.
And here I'm wearing Pearly Calypso Rose, a medium rosy pink with pretty shimmer. I'm not entirely sure that I'd agree with the 'ultra glossy' moniker - there's definitely a sheen to these lipsticks, but they're not by any means super shiny.
At just £16.90, this set would make a lovely gift for any makeup lover. Or, at just £3.40 a lipstick, you could distribute them across five stockings, and give everyone a little colour and shine for Christmas. Either way, this set is damn good value. Find it now at KIKO's website.
