Dainty Doll Eyeshadow-002 'Treat Her Like A Lady'

I was in Poundworld last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find a few Dainty Doll items amongst the cosmetics. Thankfully there was a label with the shade name and colour on the bag it came in so I wasn't buying it blind! I think the bag just said brown so I was expecting it to be much darker than it actually is, which is a light taupey brown shade. The Dainty Doll website describes this a nude which is pretty apt as it is a soft subtle colour though it isn't boring like some ones that just look like pressed face powder! It's very easy to wear though it looks best over a primer. On it's own it's a bit wishy washy and doesn't transfer too well. The powder is so soft and blends really well-it feels like a quality product. I love that it's cool toned as most of the browns I own are warm toned which isn't quite as flattering on me. There is silver shimmer running through it too which helps to brighten the eye and stops it looking flat. This is such a good every day shade and I reckon I'll be using this a lot for work. Overall I'm so glad I found this gem for a pound! If you see this and you're a fan of taupes then it's definitely worth a try.

I've seen these online with and without mirrors in the lid. Not sure why some haven't but for a pound who's complaining!
