WYCON Cosmetics

Hooray hooray! There's a new makeup store in town!

WYCON is a KIKO-style brand that, just like KIKO, is only sold in the brand’s own standalone stores. It's an Italian brand and sadly their website is in Italian, so I couldn't find much information on there.

BUT off course as soon as I heard I had to plan a little shopping spree, and I got some interesting stuff.

The first thing that drew my attention where these Liquid Pearl Eyeshadows.

They looked super metallic and pigmented, so I had to try them out.

I already tried out the 3 colors and I love it! I use it with a small synthetic brush to apply and then blend out the edges with a bigger fluffy brush.

I love how you can create a subtle look or layer it and create a glam look.

I got one lip product, (I'm trying not to buy lip products for awhile 'cause I got loads) but off course I had to try at least one. So I picked up the "Double Gloss Lip Long Lasting" which is basically a liquid lipstick on one side and a lipgloss on the other.

I like it but I don't love it, it doesn't dry completely on my lips but it stays put for at least 3 hours if you don't touch it.

If you know me a little bit you know I couldn't leave the store without looking at the gorgeous display of nail polishes. They have a big range of beautiful shades.

The only downside (for me) is that they don't have fun names, they're just numbered.

I've been looking for a orange toned eyeshadow for a long time now so I thought why not try one from WYCON, it's not the exact color I was looking for but it's definitly one I don't own yet.

I love that it's just a pan so I can put it in my Zpalette. For those who don't know, Zpalette is just a magnetic palette were you can put all of your eyeshadows, blushes, contour shades, etc.. with a magnetic pan. Really handy for travel and just in general to minimize your storage space.

They have their own version of a Z palette but I found they were a little flimsy compared to the original Zpalettes, so I didn't pick one up.

I swatched a couple of eyeshadows and I must admit not all of them were as pigmented as I would like them to be. So it's really hit or miss I think.

The one I got however was really pigmented! I really like the color and I've worn it almost everyday since I bought it. They also don't have names :(

The next two things I got were from the limited edition "SNOW DIVA" holiday collection. The first thing that stood out to me is something I have wanted to try for a long time.

It's this weird looking hair/tooth brush kind of brush. They only had a small one so I'm not sure yet what I'm going to use it for. I tried to blend my foundation in with it but it's definitely to small, because it's takes a long time to cover the whole face.

If you have this brush let me know what you use it for, I would love to know!

The second and last thing I got is the Caviar Touch eyeshadow. The tester in the store was so beautiful and pigmented that I had to get it. However when I got home and opened the little pot I was a little disappointed because it were all little balls of eyeshadow. Not how it was in the tester.

I don't like the little balls because you can't pick up product as easily as if it was just pressed. But I think I'm just going to try to press it myself, it can't be so hard, the tester was already kind of pressed by people touching it all the time. So I'm positive it will work!

Those were all the products I got on my first WYCON visit, and I'm a happy customer.

I'll definitely be going back! (soon)

You can find WYCON in the Grand Bazar at the Groenplaats in Antwerp. Find the exact address below.

I hope you liked my first impressions/review on this new brand, and let me know if there are any products you tried and think I would like!
