~ Introducing Chi Chi cosmetics ~
"From fluttering, sultry eyes, to perfectly pouting lips and glamorous finger tips, get the look normally reserved for super stars by taking a stroll through Chi-Chi-Wood. Chi Chi has the colours and attitudes of every trendsetter, fashion victim and icon. It's Hollywood in your make-up bag."
"Chi Chi cosmetics are only tested on family and friends."
Recently, I've heard about this palette from other beauty bloggers. It has been described as the more affordable version of the Urban Decay 'Naked' palette.
As far as dupes go for the praised Naked Palette, this little beauty is definitely at the top.
Below is a picture showing the comparison between the Chi Chi palette & the Urban Decay palette.
Chi Chi's swatches are on the top, Urban Decay swatches are on the bottom.
The shadows in each palette are very much alike, although there are varying differences between the two palettes. The Nudes palette ($19.95) is a great alternative to the well known Naked palette ($54.99) when you consider the eyeshadow colour similarities and price of each palette.
The 'Nudes' palette comes housed in a sturdy plastic clip closure container, with a black base, and a clear top lid with the name of the palette 'Nudes' in silver print over the top. Housed inside are the 12 pans of shadows and 2 double ended sponge tip applicators.
On the back of the boxes the palette came packaged in Chi Chi describes the shadows as being "...velvety soft, highly pigmented, and easily blendable." I can honestly tell you that the brands description of their product is 100% accurate.

The eyeshadows texture is a beautiful velvet like feel, the pigments are fantastic and also very blendable. So far, I am very pleased with these beautiful eyeshadows.
All-in-all, the Chi Chi Glamorous 'Nudes' palette is a fantastic and afforable option for those who are just beginning to experiment with eyeshadow. As well as for beauties who love neutral smoky or simple eye looks and all the rest of us makeup junkies alike.
