Review: Chi Chi Glamourous Eye Shadow Collection - RICH GEMS palette

Hi everyone! first of all, let me apologise for the absence. I was busy with final exams the past 2 weeks so I really didn't have time to sit and blog(let alone swatch). But that's over now so I'm back finally with my next review!

As mentioned in my last post, I will be talking about the Chi Chi Rich Gems palette!

It has the same plastic packaging with the clear top and the palette name in silver on it. Also comes with 2 double-sided sponge tip applicators. This palette has a great variety of colours ranging from purples to greens to golds/bronzes. I think they named this palette very appropriately seeing that all the shades have a satin-y finish (i.e no matte shades) and the colours are just so 'rich' and bold!

Whole palette swatched.

Here is a close-up of the swatches. Again, the swatches are from left to right in the palette since there are no shades for the individual shades.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the swatches but the greens and blue is the least pigmented of the lot. Wouldn't say they are terrible but you will need to work on them abit to get an intense pay-off(i.e. how it looks in the pan). Otherwise, 1 or 2 swipes is only sufficient to get an overall wash of colour on the lid. Still, they are very pretty, specifically the 2nd colour from the left. It almost looks like it has a duo-chrome effect when swatched. The rest of the shades are amazingly pigmented(especially the purple!).

For the price, I really think this palette is very good value. And just to recap, I bought 2 of the Glamourous palettes for AU$34.50 when Myer had a "buy 1, get 50% off second product" offer. Each palette retails for AU$22.95. Definitely also look out for offers on Chi Chi at Target and Gloss, they seem to always have some kind of sale going on.

So there you have it! You can also check out my review on their Bases palette. I hope this review helps some of you out there. Do leave a comment if you have any questions about this palette or just share with me your thoughts on it! Thanks for reading. (:
