These super cute eyeshadow Duos from Skinfood are called Guppang (anyone know what this means?) and immediately caught my eye because they are so adorable!
They are very small indeed – do not be shocked if you order them, because they are smaller than a real cracker. They look like custard cremes, kind of?
Even though they are small they are handy sized. These shadows come with a smaller, sparkly section and a main, bolder colour. I ordered 3 shades…
05 – Glam Brown
06 – Antique Olive
07 – Golden Plum
This is golden plum which a rich aubergine and a sparkly gold:
Glam Brown has a coffee brown with a sparkly light pink:
Antique Olive is half khaki green and half warm bronze:
So yes it’s cute, yes it’s handy, what else?
Well…they’re not very good. In fact they are the first really disappointing thing I’ve bought from Skinfood. The shadows are not pigmented enough, nor are they that soft or special. When swatched they are positively dull even with the sparkly complimentary shade:
Boring right? These didn’t impress me at all and I was looking forward to getting them!
Maybe I’ll keep them as handy handbag shades maybe they’ll appear on the next blog sale!
What’s your last disappointing purchase?
