Hello my lovelies!
Last week before work, I went into Target and found amongst the sale bins this gem (excuse the pun).
The
Chi Chi Glamorous Rich Gems Make Up Collection is a gift set that was introduced during the Christmas period that contains 4 mini sized lip glosses, a blush and the
Chi Chi Rich Gems Eyeshadow Palette.
This set is absolutely amazing value for money, retailing from $24.95 down to $12.00 with over $50 worth of products inside! The
Chi Chi Rich Gems Eyeshadow Palette alone costs $22.95 in Target/Myer stores, so an absolute beauty bargain!
The four mini
Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lip Glosses that come in the collection all have shimmery particles in them, making them a perfect gloss to throw in the handbag and swipe over the lips! They apply easily with a doe-foot applicator and are very travel friendly.
The four shades include a light baby pink
, a warmer toned peach, a bright papaya-like pink and finally, a brown toned nude. They are very glossy and although slightly sticky, nothing that is uncomfortable or off putting. Not to mention, they all smell absolutely incredible! Like vanilla cake batter that every time applied on the lips, will make you want to lick it all off! Love these!
The
Chi Chi Mosaic Blush is an absolutely gorgeous shade with a mix of shimmery bronzes and pinks to create a lovely highlighting peachy toned blush that is rather reminiscent of
Nars Orgasm Blush. I would even go as far to say that this
Chi Chi Mosaic Blush is a dupe for the infamous
Nars Orgasm!
As you can see swatched on the arm here, the
Chi Chi Mosaic Blush has a wonderful glow and shimmer through it that is smooth and not at all chalky. I can say with confidence that this is my new favourite and go-to blush of the moment!
Now onto my favourite part of the
Chi Chi Glamorous Rich Gems Make Up Collection...
... the Chi Chi Rich Gems Eyeshadow Palette!
This is an incredible eyeshadow palette that comes with 12 brilliantly vibrant and pigmented shadows that are perfect for a variety of bright eye looks! Never having tried any Chi Chi Eyeshadow Palettes before, I was a little sceptical and intrigued to see what the colour pay off would be like.
I was beyond pleasantly surprised when I swatched each of the shadows, and am beyond excited to experiment and create interesting and bold eyeshadow looks on my
YouTube channel onceuponabeautytime! So be sure to
SUBSCRIBE and keep your eyes peepered for Tutorials and Get Ready With Me's coming up that feature the
Chi Chi Rich Gems Eyeshadow Palette!
There are 12 lovely shadow colours in 3 sort of colour "groups". From left to right, we have cool toned blues and greens, then warmer oranges and rusts, and then finally some purple-y shades.
I found these shadows to be very long lasting and their pigmentation was very true to colour to what it was shown in the pan. Although the packaging can be seen as somewhat flimsy due to it's plastic-y build, I think that it would hold up just fine during travel. I also love that the lid is clear, so that way I can see the colours when the
Chi Chi Rich Gems Eyeshadow Palette is in my make up collection drawers clearly and precisely.
Overall, I really love the
Chi Chi Glamorous Rich Gems Collection Set and would highly recommend that you pick it up while you can in this fantastic set for only $12.00 at Target! Having never tried anything from Chi Chi before, I was very pleased and happy for this first experience.
Thank you for reading and be sure to leave a comment telling me what YOUR favourite Chi Chi products are!
Keep smiling,
