Lately, I've been loving cream blushes, so I was very eager to test the blush duos. The cream blush duos are nicely pigmented, long lasting, hydrating, however, it's not as creamy as I would like it to be. Although it blends seamlessly, it also dries very quickly, so you'd have to work a little faster with these blushes. I do like the shades, at first I thought I would love the coral duo, however, I gravitated more towards 01 Biscuit Chance. I love mixing the shades and customizing the colors, my favorite is the highlighters, its got a very nice sheen to it and it's not too shimmery or glittery.
01 Biscuit Chance Blush- is a neutral, warm terracotta shade. It's very flattering on my tan skin I love mixing the two shades for a healthy, radiant glow.
02 Coral Vibes Blush- is a light coral blush with a peachy highlighter. I usually love coral shades, but this is a bit light for me. I prefer mixing this shade with Biscuit Chance blush for flushed cheeks look.

Kiko Milano Free Soul Liquid Bronzer in 01 Natural Beige
I haven't had much luck with liquid bronzers in the past cause they're either too warm or too light for me. Unfortunately, this Liquid Bronzer is too light for my tan skin, but I do like the creamy consistency the formula is superb, and it's also very easy to blend. I love the packaging as well it's housed in a thick, sturdy glass jar and it has a large doe foot applicator. I think 01 Natural beige liquid bronzer is ideal for light to medium skin tone.
Kiko Milano Free Soul Highlighter
Kiko Milano Free Soul Highlighter is a silky highlighter that features three shades. This highlighter has a light texture, it's highly pigmented, and it has a pearly/shimmery finish. Once you mix all three shades, it gives you a warm rose gold shade which can be very pretty on darker skin tone. I love using a fan brush to apply the highlighter that way I have more control over the application. I'm not a huge fan of intense, dramatic highlighters, so I like to use the top shades for everyday looks. For nighttime looks, I do like to kick it up a notch and go for all three shades. This might not be the best option for pale skin tones it can be a little too over the top in terms of color wise but to tone it down a bit, you can use this as a blush topper.
Kiko Milano Free Soul Highlighter and Liquid Bronzer 01 Natural Beige
The Free Soul lipsticks come in a comfortable matte finish formula. The velvety texture helps coat the lips with full coverage and intense pigmentation. I do like the formula and it does have a velvety feel to it, as far as the texture goes but I would suggest priming your lips prior to the application. Since it's a matte finish lipstick it does settle into the fine lines of the lips, however, it doesn't bleed so lipliner can be optional. Both lipsticks wore for 4-5 hours before it started fading and it did leave a light stain behind.
01 Wild Rose Heart- a peachy nude.
04 Keep Moving Coral- a bright warm coral. (my favorite)
Kiko Milano Free Soul Mascara
I have heard nothing but great things about Kiko Milano Mascaras and I did try one of their mascara, in the past and I was not disappointed. I love the burgundy color mascara it's a colored mascara, but it's still wearable. These mascaras definitely help up the curl, but it wasn't as volumizing as I like it to be, but nonetheless, with 2-3 coats, it does make my lashes look long and defined.
Kiko Milano Free Soul Nailpolish in Shake The World Rose
Nail polish with a professional finish and up to 5 days of brilliant color. It's easy to apply, and each shade has been composed with maximum precision for optimum texture, coverage, and performance of pigments. It is available in the spring-like shades, that evoke the mood of the collection.
I received a lot of requests on Instagram to swatch this nail polish, so I hope the swatches will help give you an idea of the shade. I absolutely love this nail polish it was the first thing I tested, and I'm truly impressed with the lasting power. It wore for 5-6 days before it started chipping, with just one coat you get an opaque finish, but I prefer two coats for an even finish.
Shake The World Rose- a rosy mauve shade.

Final Verdict:
I have to give it to Kiko Milano for the beautiful packaging which screams spring! I also liked the blush & highlighter brush, it's a synthetic brush that's densely packed, and it has an angled tip. The angled tip helps achieve a precise application, and it also blends out the products evenly. The double eyeshadow brush isn't my favorite, but it does get the job done, however, I actually prefer using this brush to spot conceal.
A few days ago, I accidentally dropped the highlighter compact, and it was still intact, so these products are very travel-friendly. If I had to pick my favorites, I would say 01 Biscuit Chance Blush, Keep Moving Coral Lipstick, and Shake The World Rose nail polish.
