When in Myer, I always end up in the Chi Chi section. Although we have Chi Chi in my local Target, there always seems to be more exciting goodies from them in Myer. When strolling through during my last shop, I noticed one of their newest gift packs - the Glamorous Gel Eyeliner Collection. The pack includes 10 gorgeous shades for only $30 - bargain! I knew it had to be mine.
I own a fair few things from Chi Chi and I have always been impressed, so I had high hopes for these gel eyeliners. I was impressed with the colour selection; ranging from a few neutral colours to some amazing and bright shades that are seldom seen elsewhere in drugstore brands, especially in Australia. Great job, Chi Chi!

At first I was a little skeptical that these eyeliners would be gel and waterproof as Chi Chi boasted. I hoped that it would be true, but unfortunately I have been burnt before by these kinds of claims. Nonetheless, I was still excited to have 10 new shades to play with.

The consistency of the pencil was amazing. It was so easy to glide on, there was no tugging or pulling on the eyelid. The pencils were so creamy and easy to apply. I was also extremely pleased with the pigmentation of the colours! They were so bright and looked even more gorgeous than the expected colour shown on the caps of the pencils. Already I knew these babies were going to be easy to work with and look amazing, but I still wasn't really sure about it being waterproof!
Swatched: Lo Cal Chocolate, Midas Touch, Caribbean Queen, Black is Black, Diamonds in the Sky, Like a Virgin, Dream Lover, Boys Boys Boys, Beauty School Dropout, Hopelessly Devoted
As you can see from my swatches, they colours are bright, dramatic and oh so lovely. The back of the box advised that Hopelessly Devoted can also double as a lip liner - I'll have to do more research as to whether or not the other colours can as well or if the ingredients are different in just the pink. I don't think I can even pick a favourite as they are all so gorgeous!

As for being waterproof - I am pleased to say they are indeed. I attempted to smudge them off my hand almost immediately after swatching and they would not budge! I ran my hand under water and attempted to smudge again - nothing! I found they took a little bit of scrubbing to smudge with a makeup removing wipe, but when I used eye makeup remover, I had no problems. Just what I like to see in an eyeliner!

Overall, I'm super pleased with this pack! If the gorgeous swatches don't tempt you, pop into a store and try them out; you won't be sorry! At only $30, you really can't go wrong with this set. Based on the quality of these eyeliners, I would expect to pay a lot more than that. Well done Chi Chi, you've created a truly awesome product and I'm so happy I purchased them - they tick all the boxes!

ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for sets haha! xx
DeleteAll of these colours look so gorgeous and pigmented! And it's certainly impressive that they are actually waterproof, there are so many out there that claim to be that simply don't deliver :/

I agree, it's frustrating when something says it's waterproof but it's not! These liners definitely live up to the claim! xx
DeleteI've never tried Chi Chi before! These look lovely. I love that you get so many colours for only $30.
ReplyDeleteDi, I want you to go out right now and buy something from Chi Chi haha! :) xx
DeleteGreat value for 10 liners and they look like they'd be a lot of fun to play around with given all the colours! So glad they didn't disappoint in terms of being waterproof either :)
ReplyDeleteI was honestly expecting to be disappointed in the waterproof department but I'm really happy as well that they lived up to it! :)
DeleteThey sound so good. Would really want to try the one in black and brown.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty great! xx
DeleteOoooh these look so pretty. I've never tried a Chi-Chi product ever but you're starting to convince me that I need to! x
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Candice, you seriously need to try some Chi Chi! They've got some really awesome stuff! xx
DeleteOh wow, these are a must have for me - gorgeous shades and the fact they're waterproof is a bonus. Have you tried them on your waterline Jasmine? That's always the big test for me. Thanks for the awesome review and stunning swatches hon ♡
ReplyDeleteKat - you seriously need these babies in your collection! I can just imagine the gorgeous array of looks you could create! Based on your comment solely I actually tried these on my waterline over the past few days (I never thought to try them there before so thank you!) and they worked amazingly! I can't believe they stayed on all day! I'm going to be using these on my waterline every single day now haha! xx
DeleteI have so many Chi Chi products on my wish list - including these. I'd love to see some looks, esp with the pink and purple! that baby blue is gorgeous too x
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the look of these! I think I like the pink, purple and white the best! It's actually pretty hard to find a pretty white waterproof pencil!
ReplyDeleteNever tried this brand but loving the 1 in black
ReplyDeleteThese look like they have the most amazing pigmentation! I am a huge fan of Chi Chi products (especially for the price tag) so definitely keen to try these out <3 We did a review of some Chi Chi products on your blog, please check it
