Castledew - Castledew Color Shot Eyes (4 colors) - Number 6

Packaging: Top is a mirrored plastic with logo imprinted, bottom is clear plastic with silver sparkles embedded.

Information: Four shades in this compact. From left to right: Bloom Yellow, Bloom Pure Pink, Bloom Mint, Bloom Brown. While this quad appears glittery, it is actually just the top layer of the eyeshadow.  These are more of a soft pastel shimmer collection.

Appearance/Smell/Texture: The eye shadows are stamped with a quilted pattern, no apparent smell, and the texture is smooth.

Cost: Not too sure, I bought a discount store and had quite a few purchases.  Sorry, I should keep better track.

Rating: A little too soft for what I normally wear, I prefer darker colors. But I enjoy wearing this to work as it is cool and very feminine collection.  4.5/5

Missha The Style Eyeshadow Case and Eyeshadow

Missha sells eyeshadow that is sold prepackaged as well as loose. I like the loose ones because I can create a palette that fits me. I don't like light colors so much but I am warming up to pastels as they are in style here right now.


So I bought the case that held four large and four small ones. It also includes a large mirror for only 5,000 won or about 4 dollars U.S.. So it won't break the bank.


The eye shadows I mixed and matched to make a rather unique palette. Of blue, black, purples and greens.

Top: The blue as you can see below is a very vivid blue a robins blue with a shimmer of green to it up close. The purple is a two set of a light lilac purple with a deeper purple they have a light pink shimmer to them. The orange has a light peach and a light orange with a fine white shimmer. And the green is a dark khaki green with a fine green shimmer. The blue and green cost 3,500 won the purple and peach cost 4,200 each. Very reasonable.


Bottom: The black has a silver shimmer added to it and I tend to use it as an eyeliner. The purple has pink/purple shimmer added to it. The green has fine green shimmer to it, it is rather lovely it just didn't photograph that way. The last is a pale green with a fine gold shimmer added to in, it is a really lovely pale color. The bottom row only cost 1,500 won each.


So all in all my palette cost 26,400 or about 21 dollars which is rather high but I got 10 colors out of it and I didn't have to waste space with colors I didn't like or want. I give these eyeshadows and palette a 4.8/5. I rated it a little lower because of the cost.

Missha Dot Blending Shadow in GR 01

I really like green right now if you couldn't tell, lol. This is a beautiful eyeshadow that is a mix of blue, yellow, green and gold. It is a beautiful color in the little case, normally Missha doesn't sell eyeshadow in cases so I really like this one for that. Instead they tend to sell really cheap loose pans and pretty cases. I plan on buying some of those soon.


This comes in a gold pan with a clear case. Very simple but elegant packaging, you do have the option of taking this out of the case and recaseing it.

Here is the swatch as you can see it becomes a lovely green with gold flecks in it a truly lovely color to wear in the Spring. I paid 8,000 Won for it which is about $6.30 U.S. a very reasonable price.

Missha Dual Eye Tip GR 01

I was shopping yesterday at the 2001 Outlet (also called Kim club) and noticed a store I had not shopped in before Missha. I liked their products as well as the price. One of my coworkers did tell me they maybe are going bankrupt but I'm not really sure.

This is an eyeliner and eyeshadow duo in a light green. A lot of companies in Korea are doing pastel colors for spring, I usually don't wear pastels but when in Rome.

And here are the swatches the darker color is the eyeliner the lighter the shadow.



I do wish the shadow was a little darker but everyone told me how beautiful this was when I wore it to work. I paid around 4,200 won for this so it was a steal at around $3.30 U.S.. The U.S. ones cost $10 each, what a price increase.

Tony Moly Trio Eyeshadow # 3

I just adore the packaging on this. It's simple yet classic, with a beautiful ivy pattern printed on the lid. It has three colors a blue, silver and a white.
It is not an even split which I would have liked, or even the blue being the biggest part would have been better to me. But still I really like this eyeshadow trio.

As you can see the split is half the 2 quarters. I'm sorry I'm harping on this but the white is so light its a weird color to give the majority to. Also I really like the colors and they are a shimmery metallic. But they look much more vibrant in the package.

So when I got home I expected something that was going to be a night club item and got something I could actually wear to work. I can get it pop like I expected but I have to wet the colors and I don't always want to take the time to do that.
