How To Be Your Own Salon Expert: The Best From KISS NY

Here's a review on this salon-quality DIY beauty product line

Olivia Sylvia Estrada

<p>If I were to tell you that there is a beauty brand that can give you the same look and quality as what it takes two hours in the salon to do, you’d probably be skeptical. You’d probably believe it’s too good to be true. Or you’d think there would be a catch. </p><div><br/></div><p>KISS is that brand that delivers every single time—dedicated to bringing the salon experience to our homes. They have been the go-to for lashes, nails, and hair, making experts out of their loyal customers. In celebration, they recreated New York City for a night with their event KISS In The City. The event featured makeover stations and installations that reflected the busy streets, complete with a train set up to take photos in. KISS also introduced their latest brand ambassadors: <strong>Lorin Bektas, Angelina Cruz, and Kaila Estrada</strong>. All three represent how KISS empowers busy women with an on-the-go lifestyle to ensure your DIY beauty hacks are salon quality. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/01a63b4c-198b-4968-8846-80e16aef85d9_kiss bring the salon home hairstyling area.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7a73b50a-7b23-42f5-88c3-622460171b06_kiss city area.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9892a1f2-cab6-41b2-8668-581d1581494b_kiss lashes, nails, hair tools.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>        A loot bag full of KISS goodies came home with me after the event so I could try out what the hype was all about. I’m here to tell you which KISS products you should hoard if you want to look your best—in just five minutes!</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6315cb1f-8181-4250-be49-718e19c95fb0_(l-r) kiss ambassadors kaila estrada, lorin bektas, angelina cruz (3).jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Kaila Estrada, Lorin Bektas, and Angelina Cruz</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>All About Lashes </strong></div><p>As someone who has been doing her makeup for years, I’m a bit embarrassed to say I haven’t mastered how to put on false eyelashes. No matter how many tutorials I watch, the lash glue dries too fast or remains too wet when I apply it to the lash line, or I get glue everywhere, except where it’s supposed to go. If I manage to place the lashes on, the ends will start lifting an hour or two later. I also get hassled by cutting them down if they’re too long, or getting the lash band to the right curvature. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/3e2b1cb2-7dfd-4927-a988-76278d230b6f_kiss impress false eyelashes.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>I’ve forgotten about that with the KISS Magnetic Eyeliner/Eyelash Kit. What is a multi-step routine to get false lashes one is reduced to two simple actions. You swipe on the liquid eyeliner—which I must note is a true, opaque black—and then you apply the eyelashes. No more struggling to align it, no more cutting. No need to wait for the glue to dry down. I go for the Kiss Magnetic Eyeliner/Eyelash Kit 01 which is perfect for small eyes. They are good for multiple uses and blend well with your natural lashes. </p><div><br/></div><p>There’s also the KISS imPRESS Press-On Falsies. They’re a one-step solution as they have adhesive lash bands. It’s for those who like to customize their look a bit more as they are individual lashes so you can go as dramatic as you want without any fuss.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6ecb1b6f-b833-4a70-bd67-b657a98aff57_kiss impress false eyelashes and press-on nails(1).jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Nailed It!</strong></div><p>If you’re the type who can’t wait for the nail polish to dry, or you don’t have time to schedule an appointment at a salon but still want statement nails, KISS is unbeatable in its range of press-on nails. </p><div><br/></div><p>With the Kiss imPress Nails, you can change nail color, design, and shape as easily as you would change your clothes. Similar to their approach to the lashes, there’s no need to wait for glue to dry with their press-and-go design. </p><div><br/></div><p>imPRESS Designs range from simple, office-appropriate ones like imPRESS Color Fearless or imPRESS Color Lemon Zest to party-ready ones like the designs under the Voguish Fantasy collection. Some nail designs even glow in the dark! KISS is for those with commitment issues—at least in terms of nail choice!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/48d1b4c4-4b9b-4dd6-92df-54d4b47eb37b_kiss argan &amp; macademia reparative hair oil .jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/13adec68-e775-4908-9b90-18bafeaa9476_pick and win game.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>A Hair Affair</strong></div><p>KISS offers A range of hair tools and haircare products so you can walk out looking like you’ve got a professional hairstylist on call. I appreciate the KISS Instamagic Silicone Protection for styling hair. With adjustable temperature settings and silicone plates, you can play around with your hair looks, without burning your locks. They also have the KISS Instawave 101 Instawave Curler for those who want to add some volume to their hair with curls. Both are affordable without compromising performance and item longevity. They’re meant for everyday use and for those who travel with their hair tools. </p><div><br/></div><p>KISS also carries a Argan &amp; Macadamia hair care line that includes a shampoo, conditioner, and serum so you can pamper your hair every wash. </p><div><br/></div><p>Shop KISS <a href="https://www.lazada.com.ph/shop/kiss-ph/?spm=a2o4l.pdp_revamp.seller.1.199459ccA4GMUP&amp;itemId=3425410342&amp;channelSource=pdp" target="_blank">online</a> and in Watsons stores nationwide.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/makeup/are-beauty-dupes-worth-the-hype/38790" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Are Beauty Dupes Worth the Hype? </a></div>
