Hey beauties!
When it comes to eyeshadow, this shade isn't something I would usually go for. It became part of my collection thanks to it being part of a little pack of Dainty Doll items I picked up in TK Maxx a few months ago. It also contained a blush and lipstick, but with the packet being well sealed, it was difficult to figure out what the colours were before purchasing.

On first impression, I wasn't all too pleased with the shadow. Upon swatching it's seemed very chalky, but the pigmentation was pretty great. I had mixed feelings and it ended up just sitting in my stash barely used. Until Monday.

I felt like doing something a little different and reached for the brightest colour I own. You can see the look I created with it here

The shadow is very soft and easily blendable. It also surprised me with very little fallout. As you can see in Monday's post, the colour is vibrant, just as it is in pan. It's so strong that it will not budge entirely unless you use a proper eye make-up remover. I discovered this after a 12 mile bike ride, and the blue was the only thing left on my face. 

As with all Dainty Doll products, I like the sleek and simple packaging. It seems pretty hard wearing, but I can't help but feel that the lid was made to include a mirror. Does anyone feel that way?

As far as I'm aware, Dainty Doll is pretty tricky to get your hands on, so keep your eyes peeled in your local TK Maxx, or even on fragrancedirect.com. They had a few bits last time I had a gander. 
I think I paid around the £8 mark for the three items, so if you can grab yourself a bargain, I definitely recommend it. 

All in all, I like the overall performance of this shadow, I just wish I could come up with some other ways to wear it. Maybe the summer will bring out some crazy blue trends. 

Do you have an Dainty Doll recommendations?

Hey beauties!

Yes, I finally have my mojo back. Since the move I've really struggled to find a new routine, but I am determined to make this work. 

I'm focussing this week on blog posts and videos, so if you have any requests or suggestions for either, please feel free to leave a comment below. 

Make-up wise, I've really started to enjoying playing around with different styles and colours again. Even though I'm not doing much today, and probably not even leaving the house, I really wanted a use a pop of colour and this bright blue is just perfect! No doubt it will be dripping off of my face within the next couple of hours, it seems we are actually having some sort of Summer?! But if I'm honest, I'd trade a face of make-up for some hot, sunny days anyday.
