Dose Of Colours - Hidden Treasure Palette (swatch and review)


(L-R) coin, crown, ruby, diamond
Oh my god this is the palette of my dreams - it's warm toned, ridiculously sparkly and has the BESt glitter cranberry shade I've ever seen.

As soon as I saw this palette on various Youtuber's snapchat, I knew I needed it, I didn't care how much it would cost to send to Aus, and I didn't care how long it would take. 

I got the palette basically as soon as it came on sale, and I didn't expect it to come for about a month- but thanks to UPS not providing me with tracking, it showed up at my door a tiny bit over two weeks previous to ordering it. 

My first impression of this palette was that it was beyond gorgeous- however the glitter shades are pretty chunky. This will probably be a major turn off for some, but it's okay with me- it just means you have to apply them with your fingers and really smoosh them on to your eyelid (to put it delicately).
Here's a little list of some pros + cons


PROS
CONS
SO pigmented
Chunky
Glittery
Hard to apply with brush
Long wearing
Mattes are a  bit chalky
Glitters don't crease!
Ruby and crown look when blended out


And there's some swatches (the matte ones are a tiny bit chalky for me)

Overall this palette is bomb! And it's finally settled my craving for a metallic cranberry colour (thank god) 














THE LOOK: 
I'm going to wait until I have the perfect look with The cranberry shade , but I was living for this gold and Amber/orange scenario 


1. KVD: Mürher eye shadow to set primer 
2. MUG: Creme Brûlée in the crease 
3. MUG: Cocoa Bear on the outer V 
4. DOC: Crown on the middle + outer eyelid 
5.DOC: Coin on the inner portion of the eye 
6. Nars Albatross highlighter to highlight very inner corner 
7. Inglot #77 gel eyeliner for a nice small wing 
8. Toofaced Better Than Sex Mascara on both top and bottom lashes 

LIPS: 
The lips are nice and pinky to compliment the Fiery tones on the eyes - I originally went with MAC Pure Zen but it seemed too peachy and too matchy 
Lined: Revlon lip liner in """ 
Fill: NYX soft matte lip cream in ""

Thank you for reading! I'll eventually has a look with the cranberry colour in the palette - keep an eye out on my Insta (Chelseadawidowski) for any info
