Review/LOTD feat. DOT DOT Smoky Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette + 100% Handmade Lashes (WC16)

In this post, I'll be sharing my thoughts on DOT DOT Smoky Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette from Beauty Bistro, and 100% Handmade Lashes (WC16) from Fleur Blossom.

 

DOT DOT Smoky Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette SGD$29.90

A mirrored compact kit with 6 ultra fine, reflective powder eyeshadow colours and 1 cream shade. This palette can easily take you from day-to-night with its wearable colors.

(Note: The fallouts are due to my clumsy fingers.. =.=")

Comes with an eyeshadow brush and a sponge wand, which are pretty useful. The brush bristles are soft and non-scratchy. Doesn't shed easily.

Swatch-Fest 

The reddish deep chocolate brown cream base (with bronze & gold micro-shimmers) can be layered on to get the desired intensity. The swatch shown in the image above is 3 layers. I will suggest using a powder eyeshadow over this cream base, to prevent smudges and creases.

The pearl white shimmer looks more like a cream color in the pan. When swatched, it is a true pearlescent white (perfect for highlighting).

This peppermint green shimmer is packed with peppermint green & grey micro-shimmers, silver & gold micro-glitter bits.

The gold shimmer feels more gritty; more prone to fall-outs. It has pink micro-shimmers, silver & gold micro-glitter bits.

The dark blue shimmer is the most pigmented of the lot, packed with blue & purple micro-shimmers, silver micro-glitter bits. My favorite

The silver grey shimmer has purple & peppermint green micro-shimmers, silver micro-glitter bits.

The metallic light copper shimmer has pink micro-shimmers, silver & gold micro-glitter bits.

Lioele Real Crystal Twin Cake No.2 is used lightly to set the foundation.

  • Fill brows with Bébé Poshé Sexy Brow Shaper.
  • Apply Too-Faced Shadow Insurance prior eyeshadow application.
  • Apply pearl white shimmer onto 1/2 of the inner upper eyelid area, then layer metallic light copper shimmer all over the eyelid area.
  • Dust some gold shimmer onto the middle part of upper eyelid area for more dimension.
  • Use pearl white shimmer to highlight brow bone, inner corner of eye & dust some onto 1/3 of the inner lower lashline.
  • Apply peppermint green shimmer onto 2/3 of the outer lower lashline.
  • Line the upper lashline thickly with a droopy winged look, using K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner (Black).
  • Using the same eyeliner, draw "lashes" on the lower lashline.
  • Layer dark blue shimmer over peppermint green shimmer shade.

  • Apply a thin layer of lash glue (I'm using Marie Beauty Clear Eye Cream) onto the lash bone.

To warm up my complexion, I brush on only the orange & brown shades from Jill Stuart Mix Blush Compact 10 Sweet Biscuit.

On my lips - Bihada Ichizoku Gorgeous Lip Gloss (Pearl Beige).

The eyeshadows are well-pigmented, and the color stays true and intense all day long. Personally, I like that they aren't crazily shimmery or glittery; very wearable even in the day. I might do a smoky LOTD using this palette. Shall see how it goes (:

The lash bone is clear and thin. It doesn't lose its shape after removing it (gently) from the tray packaging. Some might find the length to be kinda long (10mm). Personally, I think the length is okay for me.

Really easy to apply, especially for someone like me who apply fake lashes once in a blue moon AND simply take forever to get the positioning right.

The lashes feel incredibly soft & comfy. I love how the lashes look on me - SUPER DOLLY!

(PS: I highly recommend y'all to get the Marie Beauty Clear Eye Cream (lash glue) as well. Pretty good in my opinion.)
