Kimiko Beauty

You know when you find a product that just seems to deliver what it promises? Enter Kimiko Beauty. I first discovered this product line at a beauty event at Takashimaya on 5th Avenue. I'll be honest. I was unfamiliar with the brand, but quickly discovered all that I was missing. Right now I am going to highlight one standout product. Tomorrow I will write about the sheer tint lip plumper (see image below).

I've always been a fan of tinted moisturizers, especially in the summer months when skin needs moisture, but often less than in the winter. I really like Kimiko's hydrating tint for several reasons. It is a water-based moisturizer, an SPF 20 with UVA and UVB protection. All those factors are important, especially the high SPF. But what I really likes is the way it blends so easily into my skin. In the past, I've used tinted moisturizers from various beauty lines, including Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. It's a great product, and it often gets mentioned in magazines, but I always felt like it needed a bit more moisture. In fact, sometimes I would put on a thin layer of moisturizer before applying LM or mix in a little moisturizer to create more of a milky product. That's why I really like Kimiko. It protects, offers just the right amount of coverage and feels great on the skin. For more info on Kimiko, visit Kimiko Beauty.
