Chi Chi Haul Part III – Glitter Nail Polish Pack

Final instalment of the Chi Chi Haul. I haven’t used the mascara enough to give a proper honest review so I skipped that out and left it for another time when I finally start using.





The gift pack is originally $19.95, but like the previous two posts on the Chi Chi haul part I and II I purchased these items when they were having 20% off at Target. I personally think it is a very cute little gift if you’re looking to buying a present for someone. Nothing over the top and something girly if the receiver is a girl who loves nail polishes. The pack comes with a set of glitter nail polishes and I quite like them. They’re smaller than the original size nail polish you buy individually from the Chi Chi range, but that’s alright. Nail polishes normally last quite a while and it’s already a bargain getting 6 bottles in the pack.

Unfortunately they don’t have names for the colours included in the pack so I’m not actually sure if you can purchase them individually. I did some swatches and I’m pretty sure each nail only consists of 2 coats of the polish. It’s easy to apply and it doesn’t take forever to dry either.

All glitter nail polishes dries rough because of the particles so can’t complain about them right? I like the silver and purple one the best out of the 6 colours included in the pack. For the price they’re offering them at I have to say they’re pretty good and the quality is not bad either. The brush is just a standard brush that most other nail polishes come in.

The Face Shop Nail Polish Mini Haul and Swatches

I have never tried anything from this brand so this is the first time and I only picked up some nail polishes. I think next time I might pick up some of their makeup or beauty range like a moisturizer or something and try them out. The Face Shop is products made in Korea so I’m quite interested in trying things out from them. However the shop is really small so I don’t think the range is all that big, but I guess there is no choice about that.

For those who live in Perth Australia this is on located in the city between Murray Street and Hay Street in Piccadilly Arcade. Otherwise for those interested in checking out the brand they have a website here:
www.thefaceshop.com



Anyway they were selling nail polishes for $4AUD each otherwise it was 4 for $12AUD so I got four of them.

I got four colours that seemed to have caught my eyes.

OR205 – Is a bright orange
YL702 – Is a bright yellow

These two apply on smoothly and the coverage is ok with a minimum of 2 to 3 coats so it’s not too bad for the price I paid for them.

OR204 – is a clear red with glitter particles in it

Therefore this one dries all rough and bumpy because of the glitter. It also a clear kind of red so it turns out a bit pink to my eyes. Not my favourite or my kind of nail polish.

WH004 – Is a clear polish with glitter and stars in it

It’s not easy to pick up the stars in the bottle and then transferring them onto the nails so that was a bit of a disappointment; though I think it looks nice if you can get the glitter and stars onto the nail.

My honest opinion for these is only ok and nothing special. Not something you must have but for that kind of price I can’t really complain too much. They work better than some name branded ones and some cheap brands ones are more expensive than these ones. I remember the colour range for the nail polishes wasn’t all that big, but I may go back for more depending on how my mood is when I’m shopping there next time. However I saw they sold false eyelashes and my cousin had recommended them, thus I may buy some next time to test them out.

Have anyone else used anything from The Face Shop brand? If so please do share your opinions on them.

Broken Favourite Eyeshadow and Modelista Nail Polish Review & Swatches

Hope all my beauty followers are having a great weekend, mine started off a bit too exciting and thus I’m hung-over at the moment. Partied too much for a Friday night, especially when I was already super tired from working day to night.

Anyway I just wanted to share a quick tip (I’m sure you probably seen this somewhere), on how to save your favourite broken eyeshadow. I was devastated when I dropped one of my favourite single eyeshadow onto tiled floor. I was so upset because it got broken to little pieces and to make it worse I haven’t seen this colour in the collection since I bought it a few years ago.

One of my favourite eyeshadow is from Max Factor, 128 Passionate Plum and clumsy ol’ me decided to drop it. Anyhow I ventured to a cheap budget store and bought myself some of these craft containers. That’s right, you probably guessed it right I just poured the loose eyeshadow into the container and with a craft knife I scraped out the rest of the product still intact to the eyeshadow pan. Wah Lah! Now I can use it again without having to open it and have a heap of product fall out and be wasted. Quick and simple solution.

These containers come in all sort of sizes and quality. I got some really cheap ones, but I think next time I might go to an actual craft store and spend on some that a little better in quality.

Don't forget to lable the containers though! I just use these white tab labels you can get nearly everywhere that sell stationery and write the name of the product on to stick to the side.

Anyway to the better part of the post, is of course more review on nail polishes which is something I’ve gotten into buying lately. I went to Target (Australia) and was browsing through the cosmetics section when I saw Modelista was having 40% off their products and thought I give them a shot.

Original prices for these nail polishes are $8.95, but I got them for $5.35 each. Seems reasonable for nail polishes if you live in Australia right?

Colours I bought were….
Bling Bling
On Location – Santa Monica
On Location - Mykonos

I’m sorry, but I find them still overpriced after trying them out. I mean the colours are nice, but to have to apply 4 coats of the colour to get a decent colour build is kind of ridiculous to me. To top it off, it is slow drying so it’ll take you forever to do four coats of the colour and to think I also do a clear top coat too!

The polishes are very runny, kind of like a very watery liquid that looks like it’ll just slide off. First coat of the colour was ridiculously clear and I thought I wasn’t applying enough. I was wrong that’s just how the product is and I am definitely not like them much. They do however have a nice selection of colours and if you have the patient to 4 colour coat you probably wouldn’t mind them.

Compared to my usual Rimmel that only require 2 coats and for some colours at most a third light coat, I think the price for Rimmel is more affordable even if the quantity is a bit less to the Modelista ones.

Anyone else tried Modelista Nail Polishes? What do you think about them?

I have currently 28 followers, which means I’m only 22 followers away from my first giveaway. Excited and can’t wait until I actually reach 50! I’ve been collecting things for the giveaway too :)

Rimmel Nail Polish Haul and Swatches

Just popping in to share a haul not bought by me, but by my beautiful mother. She spoils me I tell you guys and nothing is better than a mother who knows what you like. She was shopping by herself one day while I was at work and she saw some nail polish by Rimmel on sale. I think she said she bought them for AUS $5 each, probably not the cheapest but a pretty good price. Some people don’t like using Rimmel’s nail polish but I quite like them. However I think you need more patient with them, and knowing me I’m not a very patient person. However I use a hair dryer to dry them faster anyway, it doesn’t matter to me I guess.

Anyway she bought a total of eight polishes; seven of them are from the 60 seconds range and one from the I (heart) lasting finish range. What amaze me is she didn’t get any colours that I already have. I love the colours she picked out as well!

The Star Kissed shade, which is the pink one, has glitter in it so it dries all rough and bumpy, but if you apply a clear coat over it afterward it comes out nicer. The swatches all only have two coats on them; I think some need three to bring out the colour like Euphoria and Desert Beauty could use another coat for better colour payoff.

Chi Chi haul and Nail Polishes Swatches

I extended the poll on the left at the top for another 2 weeks so please don’t forget to vote.

Just wanted to share some photos of some Chi Chi products I picked up at Myer, using my free $20 beauty and skincare gift voucher when I bought my Lancôme stuff. I didn’t want it to go to waste so I might as well use it up.




I’ve never tried false eyelashes before so I’m going to change that and my first falsies are from Chi Chi. Not cheap I tell you but it does say you can use them up to 6 times if they are cleaned properly.



I got 2 pairs of the bat lashes (Full lashes)




And 2 pairs of the cat lashes (Demi Lashes)




I can’t wait to try them out, but I wonder how well I will be able to put them on without gluing my eyes together.

Next were just 4 nail polishes and I know I’ve never been a big fan of nail polishes but I thought why not. I did some swatches on the false nails left over from my mum’s kit.




The abnormally oversized nails that is, I couldn’t’ believe how big they come in and thought they be some good props to test the polishes.

I bought “Single White Female” and “Walk the Walk”

I also picked out “Merman” and “Moondust”

While I’m on the subject of nail polish I like to share two recent ones that I bought but didn’t mention.

Covergirl boundless colour 515 “Megawatt Mauve” and Rimmel I (heart) lasting finish 199 “Go Cobalt”

The last thing I picked was nothing new, it just Maybelline’s great lash mascara, but the waterproof one since it is winter and that means rain. Just to be one the safe side I want something that is waterproof, I’m definitely up for the experience of having mascara run down my cheeks.

Completely irrelevant to beauty, I picked up some really cute star lights from a cheap store and they call them mood changer. It’s really just lights that changes colour, but I thought they were cute and thought I would share. They currently sit on my Vanity table on either side of the mirror.
