Colour Pop Haul and Swatches

So over the last few weeks I have been collecting a variety of different products from Colour Pop cosmetics. I wanted to try and get a good variety and try a range of there products.
 
So before I start I want to review the company and products as a whole. I personally brought my products from a Facebook page who brought from the website so I didn't deal with the company myself. But I have read through there website and policies etc and they seem to be a very active and awesome company to deal with plus the products are super affordable and super high quality.  Eye shadows, blushes, bronzers, highlighters are all best applied with your fingertips for best coverage and colour payoff with buildable colour They also don't test on animals which is always a big plus.
 
 
So this is the Haul and I will go through everything in detail for you all.




 
 
 

So first up I brought a blush in the shade Fox. You'll be a stone cold fox in this mid tone warm coral in a satin finish these retail for $8USD
 
I also got a highlighter in the shade Wisp. Let me wisp-er in your ear tell you something that you might like to hear wait till you see our golden champagne with highly reflective hues of gold duo chrome finishes these also retail for $8 USD
 
 
My Opinion- The blush isn't as pigmented as I thought it would be but that has actually worked out to be a good thing as it is very bright so i can build the colour up. The highlighter is awesome as well i heard it a dupe for Becca Opal which is awesome they are different textures but the same colour. It is a little bit to bronze for my liking but perfect for summer when i have a tan.

Next we have the eye shadows. First we have the Shaaanxo Collab

A foursome created by the super famous Shaaanxo. The perfect bundle of shades that allow you to create multitude of looks. Retails for $20 USD (limited edition)

"XO" Is perfect for highlighting the inner corner
"Rebel" is the most amazing Khaki shade it looks gorgeous all over the lid or lower lash line
"Deluxe" is gorgeous blended all over the lid for a darker bronze Smokey eye
"Selfie" Is a amazing transition shade to use in your crease or all over your lid for a natural sun kissed glow. -Shaaanxo


My Opinion- These are all amazing, the colour pay off is so on point, i have been using these a lot over the last few months, for the price they are amazing they don't crease on me and they are super easy to blend out and they last all day.

Next we have 4 of the single eye shadows these retail for $5USD each which for the quality is such a bargain
 
 

My Opinion- I love colour pop eye shadows that is the bottom line just like the shaaanxo ones they don't crease they last all day and they blend super easy and for $5usd who can honestly complain. I will defiantly be buying more of these in the near future.

From left to right- Mittens, Get Lucky, Lovely, LaLa

Get Lucky- Intense ultra metallic liquid like true gold this shade is so on point you are sure to get lucky

Next we have the ultra matte liquid lipsticks, these are a newer product on the market and retail for $6usd
 
My Opinion- These are amazing quality products. I really like the colour selection there is something for everyone. The formula is also on point, they are a bit runny but it makes it easy to apply in my opinion they dry matte but don't dry out the lips they also don't leave a stickiness to the lip. For the price these are amazing super high quality.

 
 

 
Midi- Whether you fancy a mini or a maxi you'll be killin it in this soft neutral beige.
 
Bumble- Everyone will bee buzzing when you wear this dusty warm terracotta.
 
Ouiji- This bright red coral red summons all the boys to the yard

My Opinion- Wow is all i can really say about these amazing products these are amazing in all ways they have a huge range of colours and finishes they are affordable and they are amazing quality. I own one at the moment with another few on their way to me now.
 
 
 


 Lumiere- A dusty mauve pink in a matte finish created by the lovely Kathleen lights " I wanted a colour that both bold and shy people would wear its not a nude it will look good on everyone:" -Kathleen Lights

Over all this brand is amazing and defiantly worth every little cent spent. I would 100% recommend all there products to everyone and anyone. I can wait to try more products and new products as they come out. Keep a eye out for more swatches and reviews from this brand.

ChiChi Lip Liner Review and Swatches

So I thought I would do another swatch and review for you guys as I feel like I am been a little but MIA lately so I want to come back with a strong fun post for you all.



I personally love Chichi cosmetics I have reviews there eye shadow palettes before I have a heap of there products and I love them I don't think I have ever had a bad experience with any of there products which is amazing!



So today I thought I would talk about the ChiChi Stay on creamy Lip Liners, I believe I have every shade of these except viva la vixen which is a deep berry shade so all up there are 1shades there is a huge variety of colours to suite everyone.



Okay so these promise to be
-Long Wearing
-Water Proof
-Smudge proof
-paraben free
-High intensity pigment
-Built in Sharpener


And are said to be only tested on Friends and Family which is awesome.


ChiChi stay on lip liner dos exactly what the name suggests.! This super soft
and creamy lip liner delivers intense colour pigments with ease is extremely long 
wearing smudge proof and water proof formulated without talc or parabens and arrives with its own built in sharpener to ensure you can create the sharpest lines. Available in a selection of basic everyday shades and fashion must haves shades to compliment out lipsticks. These lip liners are the perfect tool too enhance any look or outfit and bring your lips to life.


I won these a few years back from a Instagram competition that ChiChi was running but all opinions are my own.

I like these lip liners they are actually the only ones I own because there is such a variety of colours I feel there is no need to own a heap of them, now I don't use these everyday but when I do I feel like you need to match them to a very good lipstick, I have used cheaper lipstick with these that aren't every long wearing so at the end of the day I have no lipstick on just the lip liner, so that is defiantly something to keep in mind with these, I heard that matching these with there viva la diva lipsticks is a really good idea as they were made to compliment each other I don't own any of the Viva La Diva lipsticks yet but I plan to own them all one day.

Now ChiChi cosmetics use one particular word when advertising these that word is Creamy I feel like they use this word quite lightly when is true fact these are beyond creamy now this can be a good thing but if your not careful it can also be a bad thing. When I first got these lip liners I used them like what you normally would and I accidently snapped one because of how soft and creamy they are, now because they are so pigmented they glide straight onto the lips without having to press to hard which can course them to brake.


Now into the swatches...


This Shade is called "It Girl" and it described as a pink based nude

This shade is called "Cenrefold" and is a nude brown
This one is "Fly Girl" and is best described as a dusty Pink
This shade is called "Legally Pink" and is a Hot bright pink
This shade is " Bimbo" and is a Fuchsia pink
This shade is "Status" and its a true orange
This shade is Called " lady in red" and it's a true red
This shade is called " Moulin Rouge" and it is a blue based red

This shade is called "Totally nude" and its a nude





So I Feel like these are a very good purchase and defiantly worth the money  these can be brought straight from
 http://www.chichicosmetics.com/


Or if you want to go and test these shades for yourself they can be purchased from Farmers store New Zealand wide.

These Lip Liners retail for $10.27 NZD on the ChiChi Website and I believe they are about $12-$15 at your local farmers.
