Review: Dolly Wink Eyeshadow #02 'Gray Pink'

Hey dolls ^_~

Dolly Wink is an amazing Japanese brand by Tsubasa Masuwaka. For a while now I have been drooling in want for some Dolly Wink products, but they are quite pricey for people in the US. I've waited for a while, but I finally caved in and purchased one of the Dolly Wink eye shadow quads.

Price
$23.99 at imomoko.com. As a side note, imomoko.com is a great place to find Asian cosmetics and skincare. Super fast shipping, I ordered mine on Friday and received it on Monday :D This is one of the only websites where I have seen the Dolly Wink eye shadows.
Packaging

The eye shadow compact comes packaged with a small booklit type of thing. It is really cute! I love that it comes with instructions as well as pictures of Tsubasa Masuwaka wearing the eye shadows. So you open the the attached booklit, and there is a lot of pictures on the inside.

The inside also has a tutorial on how to re-create Tsubasa's makeup, although it is in Japanese. My Japanese is still not good enough for me to translate it too well. But It does have pictures, so you can still understand what to do.


I really liked how this had tons of pictures. She is really pretty and cute! 
Eye Shadows
So adorable~
It is sadly very small.
Swatches

PROS:
~Super cute [LOL]
~Portable, small enough that it won't take up much space
~The colors are really pretty
~The colors are not harsh, and very wearable
~Includes a very helpful tutorial
CONS:
~Expensive [To me, at least]
~Not easy to find in the US
~Not as pigmented as I had expected
~Although cute, the packaging seems a little flimsy
~For the price, I would have preferred a bigger compact

Overall, I like it. I really like the colors and how they look together. There are things it could improve on, and I would recommend it for the colors, but I don't think this is a must have. It is nice to have, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it unless you are a huge Tsubasa Masuwaka fan or something of that sort.
I will do a look using this quad. I will try to re-create the look she has on, because I really like it.

Have any of you tried Dolly Wink products? If so tell me what you thought about them. I would really like to try some other products from this brand.

Thank you, and have a great weekend ^_^

  2. The shadows looks pretty! I haven't try this brand yet but I heard their false lashes are good too! Japanese eyeshadows tends to not be on the pigmented side. They like to do more with eyeliner and false lashes:)
