Chi Chi lipstick review and swatches....

As you may or may not know, lip products are my 'thing'. As cheesy as that sounds, it's true. I'd much rather go for a plain eye and a bright lip colour, or wear black and experiment with an orange or purple lip to jazz the whole thing up. 

I recently found a new little gem of the lipstick world whilst over here in Australia, by a brand called Chi Chi. I'll admit, the thing that first drew me to the brand was the packaging. 


Black with a pink metallic flock print, and the colour of the lipstick on show underneath. What's not to love.

The second thing that made these my newly favorite lipstick brand was their names.... who wouldn't love a lipstick called 'Wrapped Around My Pinkie'???


I swatched and instantly fell in love with all the shades but I restricted myself to just four to start my collection with.


Left to right: Shake that Booty (cream), Wrapped Around My Pinkie (cream), Fashion Police (matte) and Bad Bad Girl (cream). 

These are super pigmented and hydrating, even that matte shade although I do prefer the finish and feel of the cream lipsticks on the lips.These are the first Chi Chi products I've tried but they also have a fab range of nail varnishes and lip glossesI want to get my hands on when I get chance.

Has anybody else tried any of the Chi Chi lipsticks or any of their other products? I'd love to get some recommendations on what else to try!
