Kiko Cool Touch Eyeshadow in Innovative Pink

This eyeshadow from Kiko is a weird one.  The texture is cool, silky like a cream, almost watery-silky, and yet it's also a powder.  HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?  Science.  Pretty, pretty science.  So science-y is this product that it has an inner cap inside the casing to stop the eyeshadow's unique water based texture from drying out.

Science aside, Cool Touch eyeshadow is an absolute pleasure to apply - either with a fingertip or a firmly bristled synthetic brush - it blends smoothly and evenly across the eyelid, with a delightfully cooling texture.

The shade I have here, Innovative Pink, isn't all that innovative at all - it's a bright, light pink which reads as very white/silver on my cool pale skin.  Luckily there are seven other shades available, including the very pretty looking Ingenious Taupe.

If you'd like to try something a bit different, you'll find Cool Touch eyeshadows at the Kiko website, where they cost a very reasonable £8.90.  I'll be picking up Ingenious Taupe and hoarding it for summer, when I expect the cooling texture will be glorious on a warm summer's morning.
