Dainty Doll - Copacabana Eye Shadow bblogger | beauty | blogger | blue | bright | copacabana | cosmetics | dainty | doll | eyeshadow | face | makeup | nicola | review | roberts | wff | whenflowersfall

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?

I've been looking for some new rings recently and came across Dainty Roses through Twitter. The shop sells everything from jewellery to stationary it's all very reasonably priced and postage is as cheap as £3.00 maximum for worldwide shipping. 

I browsed for a while and came across an offer for 3 random shell rings for £6.50, usually the rings sell for £3.50 each, so it's an offer too good to miss. My parcel arrived 5 days after I ordered, which for Christmas time, was really quite quick! 

The first thing I noticed was the beautiful packaging. The owner Lisa had taken her time to personalise it with tags, cute string and a little badge. She had also hand written a lovely note on the back of her business card

After ordering, I sent Lisa a tweet saying how lovely her jewellery was. She replied asking what I liked in particular and I told her that I had my eye on one of the blue shell rings, I also told her what I had just ordered. She was so lovely, she told me that she would make sure that she put one of the blue ones in my random three. 

These are the rings I received, they are all adjustable and are beautiful. I adore the colours and the way the shell catches the light. I also like the fact that she sent me three which were very different from one another. 

For the price I paid for them, I am so impressed, I will definitely be ordering again and her products would make ideal stocking fillers for this fast approaching Christmas!

I also received a cute little gift with my order, so if you do read this Lisa, thank you so much. 

If you're looking for gifts for someone special, or you just want to treat yourself, head over to the Dainty Roses website and have a browse!
