Dolly Wink Eyeshadow Palette 01 Brown Review

Hellooooo beauts. Today I would like to do a quick review of Dolly Wink Eyeshadow Palette in 01 Brown.

Personally, I don't like to wear eyeshadows because I feel like it doesn't look good on my eyes but I just love this one. Dolly Wink Eyeshadow is a neutral eyeshadow palette which gives eyes a very natural looking finish. 

I got this when I was in Hong Kong and I think I bought it from Sasa. It was about $150 (HKD). 

The packaging is absolutely BEAUTIFUL but it doesn't have a mirror. If there was a mirror then it would be very handy when you are out and about. 

This palette consists of a beautiful golden shade, champagney highlighting shade, warm brown shade, a dark brown shade and a sponge applicator.

The pigmentation is good so I don't need much product to get the intensity that I want. But it doesn't last long. I would say it will last for about 3-4 hours at most before it starts to fade. 

I like the versatility of this palette as you can use the champagne shade as a highlighter on your cheek bone, brow bone, cupids bow etc and the dark brown shade as an eyebrow filler (if you have black or dark hair). 


With this palette I love doing the Aegyo Sal eye makeup where you create a false illusion of having fat pouches underneath your eyes which apparently makes one look more youthful. This eye makeup is very popular in Korea. So do try this look. 

Here are the swatches:

Overall, this is a basic neutral eyeshadow palette with cute design and packaging but lacks the longevity. 
Rate: 7/10 (I would give it a 6 but gave +1 for its versatility)

My Holy Grail Hair Products

Helloooo guys. Today I am going to share some of my absolute favourite hair products. So lets get through it really quick.


L'oreal Hair Expertise EverSleek Shampoo & Conditioner (Smoothing & Moisture)
I have tried lots of different Shampoos and Conditioners in the past but I have to admit that out of them all these are my favourites. They claim to have no sulphates and silicones in it which is amazing for my frizzy and unruly hair as sulphates can strip your hair of moisture, colour and essential oils. As a result you end up having dry and brittle hair. So with this shampoo and conditioner you won't have to worry about it. It cleans my hair properly and it has a very subtle scent which smells really good. Overall this is an amazing shampoo and conditioner so do give it a try.


No7 Hair Protecting Spritz
I didn't plan to buy this product but saw it on the shelves near the till while waiting in the queue so I had to buy it. I guess impulse buying trick worked on me but I am so happy that I bought it because it is an amazing product. Usually during summer my hair looks really dry and unhealthy but using this product has made my hair look so healthy and I have noticed less split ends as well. It is also great if you swim a lot as it protects your hair from salt and chlorine damage. And it has a lovely summery scent to it which stays for quite a while. So I give this product a BIG THUMBS UP!


Batiste Dry Shampoo for dark & deep brown hair
This product works amazingly well. Like I said before, I have frizzy hair so washing my hair everyday is very damaging and that is where this awesome stuff does its job. It absorbs extra oil and greasiness from my hair leaving my hair feeling clean and fresh. This product  has a nice, fresh smell to it which does stay for a long time. I have natural black hair that is why I bought the one with a hint of colour but there are other ones with different scents and colour. So this is a must have for summer.

Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Shapely Curls Mousse
In the past, I have tried quite a few mousse but they all made my hair very stiff and crispy which I hated so I thought all mousse were like that until I got this. This is an incredible mousse which holds curls very well but still lets my hair fall naturally without looking stiff. Nowadays I don't use hot styling tools because in the past constant straightening destroyed my hair. In order to get curls I put this mousse and the no7 spritz that I mentioned above on my hair then put my hair in a bun. After few hours when I undo my bun, I get beautiful, wavy curls. So do try this method if you don't want to use hot styling tools on your hair. So all in all, this is a fantastic mousse. Oh and did I forget to tell you how gorgeous this smells :)

Thanks for reading. Hope you find this helpful.
