Chi Chi Fashionista Nail Set: Review/Swatches

The set contains 8 nail polishes in total, a pretty good deal for under $20. 

It was disappointing to see that the company hadn't bothered to give the nail polishes any names, but I guess it's not that big of a deal. 

The first nail polish in this collection is this very elegant pearlescent white shade- it's unfortunate that this doesn't translate very well on camera. I honestly wasn't expecting to like this particular shade because lighter nail polishes tend to look really awkward on my tanned skin- but this one is surprisingly flattering. Like a few nail polishes in this collection, it's not completely opaque- with two coats you get a nice semi-opaque finish. 

The next nail polish in the collection is a very sparkly golden metallic shade. Its looks great on it's own or even as a base for the glitter polishes (swatches below). Again, It's not completely opaque- I'd estimate it's at about 90% opacity.

As you can see from the picture, the next polish in the collection is probably the most unique. It's a very  dark black with small specks of multi-coloured sparkle and bigger specks of silver glitter. When I first tested this shade out, I was very doubtful that the sparkle would translate well onto my nails however I was pleasantly surprised. Under most lighting the multi-coloured sparkle is noticeable- more so at night under artificial lighting than during the day time. 

First Impressions: Revlon Fabulash Mascara

I've been using my beloved Maybelline One by One mascara for a few months now and I've gotten to the point were I'm actually worried about using it all up and having to spend $20.69 to get a new one. Thankfully, I received a few makeup products for Christmas- Fabulash being one of them. 

Colour: Blackened Brown

I wasn't to familiar with the product so I decided to look at some of the reviews out there, and discovered that there really aren't many people out there who like the mascara. As a result, I didn't have high hopes.

The major disappointment for me was the brush. I generally like my mascara wands to be skinny (the only exception being the one by one wand) but the placement of bristles on this wand is just awful. I suspect that the spacing between the bristles is the main cause of lashes clumping together. I also found it impossible to separate and define my lashes because the brush just wouldn't allow it. 

And that honestly is my only criticism.

After getting over the initial disappointment of the brush, when carefully applied, I liked how the mascara added a bit more length onto my lashes and a bit of volume to- which is all I really look for in a mascara. I'm also pleased to say that the lasting power is very good. Recently it's been extremely warm were I live- 38-41 Celsius to be exact, and I haven't experienced any flaking or smudging even out in the heat.

Although I wouldn't use this mascara if I was going to out somewhere special, I think it's great for everyday wear because it looks very natural. I can completely understand why some people don't like Fabulash- if you have shorter lashes, I can't imagine this mascara doing much for you, but I'm glad I've given it a try and I hope I continue to enjoy using it.
