Hello Minna-san~~
As you might have known , I LOVE Dolly Wink and Candy Doll~ ♥
So today , I'm going to review Dolly Wink's Eye Shadow 01 and 02 . (=^-ω-^=)
So starting today , I'm going to review some of the Dolly Wink goodies that I have with me ;3 For those of you who are not familiar with Dolly Wink , They're a Japanese brand under Koji Honpo'scompany , endorsed and produced by Japanese Model-Singer-Gyaru Icon Tsubasa Masuwaka :3
No.01 ♥ Brown
I personally use these when I want to go for a more natural, the girl next-door kind of look ,where a warm tone is better. Its perfect for Mori girl style and will be suitable for everyday gyaru make as well :D Although its precisely because of those I now rarely use the black /dark grey colour they provided on the palette !
The wand is one thing that I love about these too ;3 note the differently sized & shaped sponge heads they have :D I shall talk about them in my conclusion :D
Here's Koji's instructions on how to use these :3
No.02 ♥ Pink Brown
Now , I actually reaaally realllly love this one !!! As you can see from the picture above, it looks like it has gone through some rough handling hahaha ! ^^"" sorry sorry.. I apologize.
The palette is pretty messy because I used this one so often nowadays :D Initially I somewhat wish that the pink is matte instead of shimmery :( I loved matte colours and shimmery colours are not really to my liking. But after using it for a while , I actually loves it ~ ♥
The pink colour seems to not be visible at all when I first used it , but after a while , I realized that it makes quite a lot of difference when I went out without my fringe one day .. tee hee.... ! :3 It brightens your eyes, gives it a more rounded appearance (similar to no.01 but this one had a more 'youthful", "vibrant" feel to it :3 ) Perfect for either working or non-working days ;D especially when you want a lift-me-up feel to it. If you prefer Natural look, go for 01 though :3
Here's Koji's instructions on how to use these :3
I actually used this palette for my Joshi Kousei Photoshoot *click here to read about it *
But I guess its not pretty obvious in this picture ^^"" ... gomen..
Here they are, side by side for comparison :3
and
last but not least,
They also have No.03 But I've somehow never seen them around O.O""
But here they are anyway :3
Overall ,
The Pros :
- I love the 4-colours combination
- They last even without primer :3
- The eye shadow wand is convenient and very functional !!
(there is a bigger,rounder end and another more pointy, sharper end that can be used to accurately darken the outer lower end of your eyes to create the illusion of bigger eyes !! :D OR As the guide pictures as shown above, area "A+C") This means you dont need to bring your own brush out if you need to touch up !
The Cons :
- at $32.90 per palette, they're not cheap :( although the price isnt much more expensive than other brands of its caliber
- This is a problem I have with MANY MANY eyeshadows Not only this one to be fair.So far , only a very selected few eyeshadows doesnt give me this problem : they flake and become very messy IN THE BOX ~_~"" so much so they sometimes drop onto my make up box/bag and stained it... (some people will say its natural I know :3 but there are some 1-2 palette of mine that doesnt flake even after multiple use ;3 but i guess its not much of a problem too)
Thats it ;3
Hope this helps ~ ♥ ♥ ♥
