Kiko Makeup Milano: Italia's Hidden MAC

I used to think that MAC Makeup offered a great variety of trendy products at moderate prices until I fell in love with Italy's chain "Kiko Makeup Milano"[See Above]. When I first saw the chain on my way to the train station in Florence, my heart skipped a beat. Sidenote: I am easily distracted from train times by makeup. For me, it was an undiscovered gem. The store's contents did not disappoint, and the low price tags (especially given the poor exchange rate) were a pleasant surprise. It was a glorious sight. Racks and racks of colored nailpolishes, domed eyeshadows doused with sparkles, and a collection of lipsticks that would make Ru Paul feel underdone. Needless to say, I made out like a bandit.

I came home with two new eyeshadows: one taupe and another shimmering black for evening. Three nailpolishes! An orange-toned lipstick to contrast the blue-red hues I'd been wearing. 2 roll-on eye shadows for ease of travel.

The difficulty came in trying to fit it all into my makeup at home...
