OHAI GUYS!*v*
I was curious of the 4U2 cosmetics that can be seen in
Watsons at SM malls or on the beauty sections of SM Department stores here in the Philippines. I was always lurking at their stall and looking at their eye shadows because they're so pigmented (and glittery!). Yesterday (though feeling ill) I went to SM and lurk once more. I did not plan to buy anything that day but I suddenly thought of what I should wear at my oath taking next thursday (yes,
I passed the board exam, yeeeeeey!). I thought of wearing gold makeup because it's not everyday that you can wear gold in your eyes and this is one heck special occasion next to graduation.:)
Being picky and thrifty, I choose something less than Php200. Then I stumbled upon DreamGirl Eyeshadow Quad in number 1. I guess they should have named it "color me gold", hehe. Anyway, the first impression as you go near the booth is this: "Perfect makeup for beginner/high school." Why? because their designs are more appealing to youngsters and it really looked "toys for the girls", haha. But testing their cosmetics will give you a surprise: their pigmentation is no joke! So before eating every space in this entry with my endless rant, let me introduce you to my little new friend: DreamGirl:
|
Even with the name itself, "DreamGirl", sounds like it's really catering for the youngsters. I guess the name is just.. unappealing to me? Haha--anyway--moving on.. |
|
The Quattro still sealed.:) |
|
Good thing this has expiration date. So I'll just check my blog entries for reference. LOL |
|
And the price is... |
|
Because I'm lazy like that. Lol. Please make reading a habit when buying things.;) Yes, it contains paraben. I won't be using this on daily basis so I guess that would be okay. |
|
Time to see the DreamGirl!:D |

Now the inner portion of the Eye shadow Quattro. :) |
SWATCH TIME~!:D
|
The highlighter for the browbone. |
|
The Gold color.:D |
|
The brown color for the outer-V |
|
Lighter shade of yellow/gold for the inner corners of the eyes |
|
This quad is very shimmery so with flash, they reflect light. |
And because I'm so excited with the Eye shadow Quattro (Quattro means 4), I did a quick look using it for just my right eye. HEHEHE.
Items used:
- DreamGirl Eye Shadow Quattro in number 1
- Avon Glimmer stick eyeliner in Black
- In2it Waterproof eyeliner pen
- Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) in Sin
>>Sorry for the oily face, I did not put any foundation/powder prior to putting the eye makeup. I really just did my eye makeup; I did not wore mascara for this because I'll take this off right away.:)
|
Gold cannot be seen easily here because of room lighting plus I am tanned now, so.. hehehe. (Without flash) |
|
With flash (pardon my ungroomed eyebrows) |
|
No flash but in LED lightning. |
|
My eyelashes have glitters.O.O |
|
Yes, I only did my right eye.HAHA, Lazy.P: |
|
Haha. The beginner needs more practice. Time to do some before the oath taking! :D |
The Verdict:
I cannot say any conclusion right now because I haven't done any 'test drive' for this look. But right now I'm super happy because it's pigmented and you can blend it easily.:D
--oh, be careful of the fall offs. It can mess your whole make up, mine just did.D: I'll be careful next time.:(
That's the end of the long post, thanks for reading~!:)
