Yellow and Black with a hint of Glitter – Manly 120 Palette Look #5

Yet another EOTD to share with everyone and yet again I pulled out the Manly 120 palette. I love this palette because it so cheap yet the quality of it is quite good too. I always wanted to try the yellow and black combination but I added in my own kick to it. I added some glitter to my lids to give it a bit of a sparkle. I never actually thought I would wear a black and yellow eyeshadow combination, because I always thought I couldn’t pull it off. It might not look great on me, but I think it doesn’t look that bad.





This is glitter eyeliner that I reviewed in an early post last month. It is one of the glitter eyeliners from the Chi Chi haul. I used this to put glitter over my lids and it was only put over the yellow eyeshadow to give it a bit of a sparkle effect. Unfortunately the photos don’t really pick up the glitter very well so it doesn’t look as nice as it does in real life.



Here are the photos…






I did not use eyeliner because I thought that the black that I tried to smoke out a bit (obvious fail) was a bit too much to be adding black eyeliner to my lids. I just use the Maybelline Colossal Mascara to give my eyelashes a bit of a boost.






The lower lash line is not eyeliner it’s just the black eyeshadow but I made it darker, instead of blending it out a bit to make it softer.

Chi Chi Haul Part II – Glitter Eyeliner Pack

Hello to the beauty and makeup lovers. I am back today to share my second part of my Chi Chi Haul from Target from not too long ago. I will continuously apologise for my lack of updates with my busy schedule. I appreciate everyone who is following and seeing the numbers increase puts a smile on my face and I thank you all for doing that.

Today for the second part I’ll share with you Chi Chi’s Glitter Eyeliner pack. The original price for this pack is $19.95 AUD and because it was 20% off I got it for $15.96AUD. This pack includes 6 mini size bottle of their Glitter Eyeliners. I already own the black one in the original size so I will be taking that mini size one out and putting it into the giveaway bag for my first giveaway. The black one was not swatched from that bottle but from the original one that I already own.

I don’t have the names of each colour and I can’t be bothered trotting into a store that stocks Chi Chi and writing names down of each colour. I’m not even sure they actually have name.




Here are some swatches of the glitter liner.





Now to the good and bad about this product. One swipe of the liner gives you a nice amount of glitter needed over black eyeliner. It’s not overly glittery and it doesn’t fall out after a whole night out. I’m assuming most glitter eyeliners take time to dry and so these Chi Chi ones does too, but once they dry they don’t budge. Well at least they don’t budge for me, I’m not sure about anyone else, since we all have different skin condition. I love their glitter eyeliner and so I thought the gift pack might be nice since it takes a long time to use one full tube.





It is a smooth application and it doesn’t feel clumpy at all like some glitter eyeliners do. At first when I first tried them I though it would be sticky but it dries very well and you won’t feel you got this gel glitter eyeliner on you eyelids. I actually prefer these ones over the NYX glitter eyeliners, even if I have to pay more for the Chi Chi ones.

Before I forget I actually don’t like the blue one out of all of them. I think because I didn’t like how it came out blue as well, it’s not a clear liquid but a blue one.

The original price for the normal full size is $12.95AUD and this black one is apparently called “Get it on and boogie”. So I’m guessing the others have names too, but I don’t know what they are and the pack doesn’t say either. I guess it would be nice if they do start labelling the products on the back of the cases if not on the actual product itself. Would have been nice to know the names of the colours so next time if I do choose to buy a full size I know what it’s called.
