Review / Have a look at: Chi Chi Baked Eyeshadows

I was going to do this post as a review but that's not really what it is.  I wanted to just show you Chi Chi's Baked Eyeshadows.  They retail for $14.95 and are beautifully pigmented as you will see in the pictures below.  I have never tried baked eyeshadow before but Chi Chi Cosmetics have impressed me with theirs.

 I love the way they have song titles as their names and on their boxes an explanation of the colour.  They have based their baked eyeshadows on records as you can see below which is a cute idea.


Sorry for the terrible photo!!  But you get the idea :)











The eye shadows are the perfect size for your makeup bag and have become a permanent addition in my makeup collection.  The turquoise and midnight blue are a tad daring for me but are such lovely colours!  The others are gorgeous neutrals that I have already gotten plenty of use out of.  My favourites are Lost Without You and Burning Up which are the shimmer shades.

Have you tried any baked eyeshadows?  What are you favourites?  I'd love to be able to try some more good ones!  Also let me know if there is any other of Chi Chi's products that you'd like to have a closer look at because I'd love an excuse to try some more ;)

Friday Ramblings 10/01/2014

In case the title of this post didn't point out the obvious to you then IT"S FRIDAY!!!   Woohooo!!!  I am so happy!  It's pretty sad that I've only been back at work for a week and I'm already longing for the weekend but it is what it is. :)

Tonight I am going to make chicken pasta with mushrooms sauce and avacado and cream all mooshed into one yummy scrummy dinner.  I don't have a recipe but we'll see how I go.  Then I plan to watch Better Homes and Gardens because I'm a granny like that and then clean up a tad.  Tomorrow we are putting grass into our front yard and then I'm having my husband's family over for lunch and then going to tea at his brother and wife's house.  Should be fun!  I love weekends when I have plans but not too many :)  Tis awesome!


This is a picture my Dad took of a tinsy winsy little wittle ducky!

I don't really know why I'm doing two posts today but I just felt like doing a chatty one because I'm really looking forward to tonight!  Only 1 hour and 12 minutes to go! Haha.

We might finish watching the first Hunger Games tonight.  I'm not sure whether I'm enjoying it as I find the concept quite strange and confronting.  I'm not sure I like the fact a movie about teenagers killing each other is so popular?  Not sure...




It's going to be so hot next week so I hope to maybe have a bath tonight while the weather isn't too hot (even though it is still pretty hot today).  I went on a MASSIVE lush spending spree (in fact I went 3 times) and got all their Christmas stock half price which is awesome!  I am loving it!




So if you were all wondering what the title of this post meant, I have decided to make a new Friday feature as it is now 2014.  Friday Ramblings will just pretty much be me rambling about what I'm up to in my life but nothing really in particular.  I love these types of posts and I hope you do to!

What are you doing this weekend?  Something fun I hope!  Let me know :)
