Broke Girl Stuff: Cheap 12 Color Eyeshadow from Shawill

I'm broke. I don't have much money to burn. I can't give you reviews about high-end make-up products, no matter how much I want to. But make-up is an essential thing a working girl needs, especially if you're a graduate of HRM/HRS/Tourism like I am. If you land a job there, you need to be equipped. But how when these jobs only pay you minimum wage but demand you to be fully made up? I guess by using cheap, but stable quality products.


I've been using Shawill products now for quite a while, and I have nothing but raves for their Candy Red blush-on that only costs P99. So when I want something cheap but lasts long and is worth it, I go to Shawill. For my birthday I bought their 12 color cream eyeshadow palette that costs P148.

Shawill 12 color cream eyeshadow in palette 01

As you see, palette 01 has a wide range of colors, you have brights, the basic black and white, and neutral browns. They look glittery at first but the glitter is just a thin layer over the actual product and is only there for deco purposes, but once it's off, you have nice, frosted eyeshadow.

The colors, one swipe each. One thing great about Shawill products is the pigmentation; just one swipe and you get solid colors, and it takes quite a while for them to rub off. Look at that blue, it's so blue!

If you need to use make-up everyday but are low on cash, I recommend these eyeshadows from Shawill. You get good quality for your money. Some are hesitant because of its low prices that it might irritate your skin or cause break outs, but I've been using this and their blush-on for quite a while and have had no side effects at all.

I also recommend these to people who have to do photoshoots and need bold colors that pop and sparkle, like cosplayers. Will use this for a cosplay shoot sometimes.

The only con I can think of is that that top layer of glitter is annoying, and the colors may be too sparkly for my taste for ordinary days when I'm not obligated to wear make-up because of work.

Pictures of me trying on the icy blue color because I can't help it:

Webcam photo with laptop lighting (lol) There you can see that the eyeshadow really looks frosted and has a real bold color.

Blue eyeshadow almost always strangely reminds me of SM salesladies.

Hope you found this useful.
