Hello Beautiful People

 

So here is a very quick review on the Chinovi Cosmetics 2012 Halloween collection and YES it is STILL available!! now for a discounted price =) you can pick this baby up for $20USD for the FULL sized collection -----> Here and YES I am enabling you all ;)

 

So Basically this collection was born from Chinovi Owner Vanessa's love of the movie Hocus Pocus which she has translated rather well into a shadow collection =) 

 

As with all Chinovi collections the lable reflects the theme for this collection the lable has a cute little christmas tree. When ordering you have 4 options all in USD value ~ Sample bag - $1.00, Clamshell -$1.25, Full Size Jar w/out sifter - $4.75 and Full Size Jar W/ Sifter - $5.00
Sample Bags and Clamshells look to have about 1/4 tsp of product good for quite a few uses. Full Sized jars average around 1.2 g of product. This Collection also has unique labelling =) a nice added touch.

 

Chinovi also list on each shade whether its lip safe or vegan making it easy to choose select shades depending on your intention of use.

 

I feel this collection dose capture the essence of the movie and the colours suit perfectly for a Halloween theme however are also versatile enough to be used in everyday looks.

 

Onto colour descriptions and photos (which is why you are all here i know) =)

Hey Ya'll

Lets talk holiday collections shall we? today we are going to look at the Chinovi Cosmetics Holiday 2012 LE collection. Vanessa the owner took insperation from a faverouite Chiristmas carol 'O Christmas Tree' and a personal love of decorating, so the collection is centered around things you will find on (most) trees. One of the things I love about Chinoiv is the little touches the lables are supercute and I ADORE that Vanessa puts wether a product is vegan and or lipsafe while I personally am not Vegan I have friends who are it makes shopping for gifts so much easier!

As with all Chinovi collections the lable reflects the theme for this collection the lable has a cute little christmas tree. When ordering you have 4 options all in USD value ~ Sample bag - $1.00, Clamshell -$1.25, Full Size Jar w/out sifter - $4.75 and Full Size Jar W/ Sifter - $5.00
Sample Bags and Clamshells look to have about 1/4 tsp of product good for quite a few uses. Full Sized jars average around 1.2 g of product

This Collection I feel is very well rounded in terms of colours, the pigments are smooth and blend well, while they are full of sparkle they dont feel gritty on the eyes.

Now as its the holidays I am including a small giveaway the winner will get 1x full SAMPLE baggie Holiday 2012 collection =) Open internationally good luck =) now lets get onto colour descriptions =)

Final thoughts: Colours very pigmented, smooth to apply sample sizes are good, all items were sent out well within the TAT, and arrived in Australia within around 2-3 weeks. I especially like how each colour has individual ingredients and state whether the colour is vegan and/or lip safe. I will definitely be re-purchasing from Chinovi again.

Hey Ya'll

Soooo here we are with a review on Chinovi Cosmetics, Chinovi is a relatively new company to the Indy world however the products and customer service is amazing! Chinovi is Cruelty free and each individual listing states whether the product is Vegan or non-vegan which is very important to some individuals.  I have made several orders all which have arrived to Australia in a timely manner. The colours are very pigmented all blend smoothly 'butter-y' to the feel. Sample Sizes are generous with plenty of product.

When ordering you have 4 options all in USD value ~ Sample bag - $1.00, Clamshell -$1.25, Full Size Jar w/out sifter - $4.75 and Full Size Jar W/ Sifter - $5.00

Sample Bags and Clamshells look to have about 1/4 tsp of product good for quite a few uses. Full Sized jars average around 1.2 g of product.

Each listing has an ingredients list letting you know the basics of each individual listing.

Sample taken from Desert Rain

ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, carnauba wax
