Chi Chi Fabulous and Flawless Foundation Review

Around Christmas last year I got my hands on the Chi Chi Fabulous ans Flawless Foundation and here are my thoughts on it.**

The foundation is definitely medium coverage, but is buildable. I personally don't like a full coverage (Occasionally I do, but most day's I'd prefer Medium) and didn't experiment having it full coverage, but from just playing with it I can tell it is buildable.

The shade was okay in the beginning, but with my ever changing skintone (Pale, casper and Ivory. I don't even know what I am to be honest.) It just didn't suit my skin and made me look like I had a bad tan.

Its oil free, and not tested on animals. Chi Chi have a major love and respect for their animals and are quite requently talking about them on Instagram (@chichicosmeticsofficial)

It is Made in Italy.

It does have a scent. I cannot quite put my finger on it. Its not chemicals, but I think its perfumed.

And the number one positive for me - it has a pump!

**I have recently given the foundation to my mother due to the fact it was a tad dark on me.

Will I Repurchase?
Possibly in a lighter shade. I don't mind the foundation, but I just didn't reach for it, so I don't know. With me and my pale ass, I probably won't because from memory this was the closest match to my skintone and one of the lighter ones that wasn't pink toned.

Autumn/Winter Picks 2016

Autumn/Winter have to be my favourite seasons. I'm just a lover of the cold seasons. I think its because I was brought up in Tassie where some days we wake up and its 1 degrees (Celcius) outside and I'm just so used to it. So here are my main picks for makeup this year.

Nivea Men Post Shave Balm: Yep I love this. My review on it went up last week if you are interested in reading it. I won't go on about it much.

Chi Chi Fabulous and Flawless Foundation: I have a review on this coming soon too. But for the price its a damn good foundation.

Mellow Cosmetics Blush in Bronze: I wasn't sure if I'd like this when I got it, but it has become me favourite blush. Its perfect for any look.

ColourPop Cruel Intentions: This is a gorgeous Mauve Blush. Thats all I lean towards on blushes, mauve tones.

Essence Soo Glow Highlighter in 01: Sad that Essence discontinued this. Cause this is amazing.

Ofra Lipliner in Wine

Essence Lipliner in Satin Mauve

ColourPop Lumiere Lipliner: These are all different Mauve Shades. I love them all individually.

NYX Plum Lipliner: Theres nothing left in this, I need another one. If only I can get my hands on it!

ColourPop Lumiere 2: Just bought this, its a tad darker than the original, and I'm OBSESSED.

Australis VelourLips in Doo-Bai and Bar-Tha-Lon-A: Both my current faves by Australis

Mac Velvet Teddy and Mehr: I use them both year round. So they are HG Status for me.

ColourPop Lumiere (Original): I have 2 of these, one lives in my bag, the other in my collection.

Chi Chi Viva La Diva in Checkin In: Very Similar to Velvet Teddy I feel.            

ColourPop Central Perk, Deluxe and Rebel: I feel like I'll be reaching for these a lot

Kat Von D Monarch, Sleek Vintage Romance, Chi Chi Spices: I think these will be my most reached palettes. Especially the Kat Von D one.

Chi Chi Palettes Review: Pretty, Bronzes and Spices

If you know me, I love Chi Chi Products. They are a brand I am slowly beginning to discover and they are yet to let me down. The company is so sweet and friendly and they are always coming out with new amazing products that you don't see very often in the drugstore. These 3 palettes I got over Christmas, one I paid for, the others were gifts. And I love them all. Here are some mini reviews on them all!

Spices is the Palette I paid for. I have been looking for this everywhere and its always been out of stock. So when I saw it, I didn't care on the price I just NEEDED it. This palette is so freaking gorgeous, I mean, look at those shades! I am yet to play with it on my eyes but I know this palette is easily a new favourite.

Pretty is the Palette I got from Mum for Christmas and when I got it, to be honest, I loved it, but I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of it. Its beautiful for summer and spring, but for the other seasons, I don't know. I'm wearing it today and it blends like a dream and its very pigmented, some shades more than others.

Bronzes I got from my Auntie for Christmas and this is equally my favourite with Spices. These two palettes I feel were made for each other. And they need a child. 

Chi Chi Palettes retail for $22.95 (I think) and they are worth the money.

You can buy online and they ship worldwide.

In Australia they are available at Myer and Target.

In New Zealand I believe you can get them at Farmers.

Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipsticks Review

Today I will be reviewing the first product in my mini-series which is dedicated to things I would suggest buying others for christmas, which funnily enough, I haven't done reviews on any of these.

The first product, is Chi Chi Lipsticks. I bought them in this set pack which is part of Chi Chi's Christmas gift sets. It retails for $38 which is great value as each lipstick retails at $18.95. And it comes in this pack which is the nudes, 2 other boxes but I'm not quite sure as to what they are and they are not on the website.

These lipsticks are slightly scented but I find it lovely. It's a gorgeous musky scent and I think they smell better than Mac.

These products are NOT tested on animals as the staff at Chi Chi are all animal loving people and if you follow their instagram, you can just tell that they are.

All lipsticks can be bought individually.

The lipstick swatches are as follows: Checkin In, Sex Bomb, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Game On

A-Z of Beauty Tag (A-M)

A is for Australis. Australis is a hit and miss brand for me. I quite like their lipsticks and concealers, but their eyeshadows I'm not too sure how I feel about

B is for Burt's Bees. I've only ever tried these products by Burt's Bees and I love them. Though I mistakenly used the Cuticle Cream as Lip Balm, whoops!

C is for Chi Chi. Ah how I love Chi Chi so much. So many things I want to buy on my list!

D is for Dermalogica. This is my current Moisturiser I am using and I quite like it as I'm breaking out right now.

E is for Essie. Essie is hands down my favourite nail lacquer brand.

F is for Fragrances. These are my current top 2 fragrances of the moment.

G is for Gerard Cosmetics. Which I am yet to try but I didn't want to miss a letter :3

H is for Hard Candy. I don't know how I feel about Hard Candy. The lipgloss is nice, but the Lip Liner is hard to apply.

I is for Insomnia Cosmetics. A Site I found on Etsy and would like to try at some point.

J is for Jane Gem Primer. Shush I know the brand is Glamourflauge but I only just noticed that....

K is for Korean Makeup. Again SHUSH This is Japanese but....Its probably made in Korea?

L is for L'Oreal. BABY I love me some of dis mascara!

Finally for now.....M is for Maybelline! Maybelline is HANDS DOWN My favourite brand for when it comes to makeup.

N-Z coming on Thursday!

Chi Chi Extravananza Palette Review

CHI CHI, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN

Bloody Hell I love this palette.

Its the perfect everyday palette in my eyes as it has 30 eyeshadows ranging from neutrals to brights. And as always, they are all perfectly pigmented too. Fun Fact: The 30 eyeshadows are their best sellers!

Coming soon to my YouTube: Tutorials using each different row! Go Sub to me! (Click)

The palette also contains a bonus 5 waterproof eyeliner set, in shades black, brown, white, purple and navy blue. Which are all highly pigmented and I'm actually considering buying more Chi Chi eyeliners. And they are waterproof and don't budge during the day. And they come off easy with waterproof wipes or Garnier Micellar Water.

I recommend this palette to anyone who wants to buy a Chi Chi eyeshadow, weather it be a palette or single eyeshadow. Because the retail price for this palette is so worth it. $30. And it comes with 30 eyeshadows. Who can say bargain? Cause I can!

Go grab yourself one and enjoy it!

5/5 Stars for Sure!

OMG HAI!! + Amazing Service!!

HAI!

Did you all miss me?

Probably not because I'm such a new blog but oh well

So since I've been gone, I celebrated my 20th birthday and started my job at Vinnies, and got into a car accident on the way to work.

Freaking hate slip lanes and 4x4's.

I'm fine, had a sore neck, but apart from that I'm A-O-KAY!

Tonight I'm preparing posts for the upcoming weeks and such.

But, I wanted to state in this post.

I placed and order through Chi Chi Cosmetics a few weeks ago, and my order should've been here last week but was still in Transit.

So as you would do, I contacted them via email.

And, I have to say, amazing customer service. I have never been happier.

They tried to resolve the problem, but couldn't. So sent me another palette (I bought the Elegant Palette) in express post with a credit voucher to reimburse the cost.

Which I was...flattered.

With other companies they have been all "Oh thats not in our control. Here have a $5 voucher"

And I've been like "Bro. I spent over $25 on you and you just give me $5 to spend on your shop. If your service and postage is crap I'm not coming back"

But Chi Chi, they are different.

I just got a knock at the door from the postie and what was in his hands?

Both parcels.

THANKS AUSTRALIA POST FOR KEEPING ME UPDATED -.-

So I sent an email back to Chi Chi being honest about what happened and am waiting to hear back on what to do. Giveaway? Present for a friend? Send back to them? Dunno.

But I discovered Chi Chi through the glamourous Shannon Harris (She a baaaae)(omg I'm hyper) Who is also known as Shaaanxo on YouTube.

I wasn't a familar fan with Chi Chi, I had some makeup by them, but was just 'eh' about them. Shannon changed my views on them and now I want everything.

Anyway, I've gotta go guys, I'll keep you updated more on whats happening, and yeah. I am going to be revamping my blog soon and probably changing the theme and everything.

So please note: I am no longer affiliated with LHI due to them not contacting me or sending me boxes to review

Peace!

Keep on Smiling,
