More at Kiko Life

I'm checking out the Remix makeups to go with my new Remix skins.  In the Remix:  Berry Baby sets are full makeups featuring berry-toned lips and smoky eyes with names such as AFK, Hate on Me, Like a Boy, and Juicy, while in the Remix Beaute line, you can choose from bright or natural eye shadows and lipstick shades such as Piquant, Bronzed, Beguile, Understated, and Sweetened, all of which are great for daily wear.  For a more dramatic look perfect for parties or fashion shows, the Remix:  Bitch Mama sets include Man Stealer, J.E.A.L.O.U.S., Envy, Poison and 4 More Haters.  These are lovely and edgy at the same time, offering a great change of pace from the usual pretty looks (not that I don't love pretty, but sometimes you do need some edge!).  I'm totally intrigued by the Remix:  Wild Cocoa line, which features really imaginative use of neutrals that go beyond the ordinary, including rich, deep lipsticks and eyeshadows that are really great accents for the Remix skins.  With such names as Amenolado, Criollo, Forastero, Trinitario, and Venchi, the makeup artists at Kiko Life pay tribute to the international beauty of women of color.  The Remix:  Red Bliss line represents another current makeup trend featuring shades of deep reds on the lips, and complimentary touches of lighter reds or pinks on the eyes, made popular on Fall 2010 runways, including Seduction, Sissy Poo, Snobby, Sophisticated and Stoosh.  Finally, the red theme is also used for some fantasy-based makeup in the Remix:  Hearts line.  I could see myself using these for some otherworldly roleplay or perhaps as part of a really seductive burlesque performance!  Among the 10 choices in Hearts are Dark Heart, Passion Play, Rio Heart and Tokoyo Red.  Perhaps I should take some flamenco lessons?

Because I hadn't visited this store in so long (thanks slow DSL provider!), I've missed The Essence of Ebony contest in its developing stages, but at least I can announce to you that tomorrow, February 20 at 1 p.m. SLT, Miss Essence of Ebony will be crowned.  Also, Kiko Life is participating in the Inferno Grid-wide hunt until February 26.  As always, there are Lucky Chairs giving you the chance to win skins and other freebies available in the store.  Come by, check out the demos, and do some serious shopping!
