L-R: I'm Every Woman & Living On A Prayer |
Hey Beauty Lovers!
Coming at you today with a review of the Chi Chi Baked Eye shadows I picked up from Target during their 30% off Chi Chi Sale. Usually these eye shadows retail for $14.95 but I got them for $10.47. I've been waiting for a sale on Chi Chi to try these!
The shades I picked up are, I'm Every Woman - described as a matte light brown and Living On A Prayer - described as a matte medium brown. The names of the shadows are song names and the packaging is a mini record. Cute!
I know, I know I was a little boring in just picking brown shades, but seriously that's what we gals use everyday right? Besides there are very few drugstore/high end options for completely MATTE eye shadows. Everyone needs a good matte eye shadow just because it is so versatile. You can use is for stand alone eye shadow, transition colour and my favourite contouring!
Yes I specifically chose these shades to contour with. After seeing the Maleficent collection by MAC I really wanted to find a dupe for the sculpting powder because it's out of stock :( I'm happy to say that these are great shades to contour with because they have zero red undertones. HOW RARE FOR A BROWN SHADE!
Now here are the claims on the box:
I must say these claims all hold true! These are so pigmented and buttery soft, it's a dream to blend in. It is also VERY long lasting, I had these on my arm for the photos and they didn't budge until I removed it!

Conclusion:
Love these! I want to get more and even try out the shimmery shades. However I do feel that these are a bit pricey for a single eye shadow with only 2g of product. With a little more dollars you could get a 12 pan palette for $22.95. These are on the more luxurious side of Chi Chi and I'd definitely suggest you pick these up during a sale/special.Highly recommend for contour lovers :)
