Chinovi Cosmetics is great! They have some really unique eyeshadows (and duochromes!) and their formula is really smooth. They also just came out with a few blushes and a few matte eyeshadows. I wrote up a review here.

I've actually never heard of this brand until their 50% off sale during the superbowl. As a canadian, I didn't care much for the superbowl but this was an insane sale!
I purchased the entire OMG! Collection in the sample baggies and a brow powder (full size) in black/brown.
One thing is for sure. I absolutely, f*ing adore that brow powder. It is honestly the best thing ever and for $6?!?!. Yeah. Oh wait I paid like $3/$4. I wish I bought 50 jars. Well not 50. But you know what I mean!
The shadows are super cute. Very sparkly but not as pigmented as notoriously morbid's or Shiro's I found. Perhaps it's my application technique (with pixie epoxy) but it's subtle. Which isn't bad necessarily I looove them for everyday wear!
I also haven't been able to swatch them ALL out yet including the free sample that I received but I will post a full review once I have.
Definitely recommended!
Chinovi express shipped (or it felt like it) and they arrived in less than a week. I'm impressed, super fast shipping!

Love them. The sample sizes are HUGE - they claim to be 1/4 tsp, but I would say they're definitely closer to 1/2 tsp, much larger than Shiro samples for sure. The samples are also only $1, which is awesome. The shadows are really smooth and blend well, plus they have some of my favorite colors ever (Business, Marquee).

I took advantage of the Super Bowl sale and ordered a grab bag and 4 samples for $12.50 - what a great deal! The formula is great, super smooth and blendable, fairly pigmented. I pressed all my Chinovi shadows with no issues. The only "con" per se is that the colors aren't quite as....complex, or unique as some other brands such as FFC and Shiro. I would order from them again, especially if they and another huge sale!
