Recently, I had the chance to try a fabulous product called Kimiko Bento box eyeshadow. This is some of the most luxurious, beautiful eyeshadow that I have ever swept on my eyelids. The product is intended to enhance eyes while providing anti-aging benefits to the eyelids. It contains active ingredients such as Vitamin E and Hydra-FirmaLift (read more of what the company has to say about this below), a plant derived lipoamino acid that helps with the synthesis of collagen, improves elasticity, hydrates and tones the eye area. Eyes are left looking rejuvenated and more open.
I definitely felt that my eyelids were smoother, and the brow bone area looked lifted. I looked more rested, and I think we all need that benefit!!
The Bento box comes in four shade combinations: Zen Garden- the greens, Earth Temple- the browns, Imperial Nights- the grays, and Kimo Collection- the mauves. I tried Imperial Nights, and I adore the matte light cream and silver sheen shades. They are so neutral. Great for everyday, but I could really glam it up by adding the sparkling black and the deep black matte shades.
Easy to wear color takes the guess-work out of applying eye shadow. Use Kimiko Lifting Eye Shadows to create the classic eye: apply the lightest shade as a base from the lash-line to under the eyebrow. Over the eyelid and crease, use one or two medium tones to shape the eye contour. The darkest shade can be used to softly line the lashes and can also be used on the outside corners to give a more open appearance to the eyes.
Maybe I could ask Santa for the Zen Garden collection since Carmindy says that I should try some greens for my hazel eyes. Santa, are you reading?? A Bento box of 4 shadows will set you back $58.00, but if you look at it that you are getting eyeshadow plus a firming product all in one, then it is actually not a bad price. Stars like Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Kate Hudson and Katie Holmes are all fans of Kimiko. Go to www.kimikobeauty.com to read more about the company and where you can find the products.
This is what the company has to say about Hydra-FirmaLift:
