DOSE of Color Hidden Treasure Palette Review

14th June 2016

I’m back again with another post, I’ve just been buying so much makeup lately, whoops….

But today I want to do a review and first Impression on this DOC hidden treasure palette, can we just take a moment to admire this beautiful DOC palette, I’m obsessed!!

DOC doc4

I’ve had my eye on this for some time, as you know Dose of colors is famous for liquid lipsticks and is a small brand who is still fairly new, but this is the brands first eyeshadow palette and it’s just gorgeous!! No one in the UK was stocking this which I was gutted about as I really wanted it, it was only being sold on the DOC website and we all know shipping and customs is expensive when ordering from the US, but anyway  It was always sold out on the DOC site, I was stalking them on Instagram to see when it would be back in stock but I must have missed it as they said it had already come back and surprise surprise it’s sold out again but I notice they said it was Limited edition!! which I didn’t know about so I was searching around the internet seeing how I could get my hands on this as I had heard such good things about this palette and how the foil shadows were so pigmented and amazing.

I have been following a page on Instagram called colourcosmetix who is UK based and sells American makeup for affordable prices, I actually follow a lot of pages like this as sometimes I miss out on LE items and these type of pages buy a few and then sell on, well it must have been my lucky day as the day I was looking around the internet she posted a picture on her page to say she had these in stock, I messaged straight away asking for a price and she was charging £46 for this plus postage which I thought was amazing, as this palette is $50 alone on the US DOC site. I hate companies that bulk buy and then sell them for silly prices because a product is limited edition but it wasn’t the case here. The palette arrived 2 days later and all in one piece so thank you so much if you’re reading this!! I’m extremely happy I managed to get this.  (Please note this was my experience with ordering through colourcosmetix, I have had a couple of girls comment on my Instagram post asking if her page is legit as her website currently isn’t working but she did say to me its being redesigned, I ordered this palette through Instagram & PayPal, which I know some might not like doing, but I didn’t have any issues)

 

Now onto the actual palette which I am in love with, I don’t own anything like this, I actually was going to order the Tarte cosmetic bunny palette but I decide to get this instead as it was completely different to anything in my collection, and I think I made the right choice 🙂

It comes with 5  foil metallic shadows that can be used wet or dry

  • Coin
  • gemstone
  • Diamond
  • Crown
  • Ruby

1 shimmer shade in pearl which is perfect to use as an inner eye highlight or on the brow bone, this is a gorgeous shade I think I would actually use it as a highlighter everywhere it’s that nice.

4 matte shades which are perfect for creating a smokey eye or using as a transition colour.

  • Map
  • key
  • locket
  • onyx

This palette is

  • Cruelty Free
  • Gluten Free
  • Paraben Free
  • Talc Free
  • Phthalate Free

A lot of people say the packaging is cheap looking for the $50 price tag which in a way I can agree on as you would expect it to be metal or plastic but I actually really love the packaging and design I like the whole theme with the treasure and Jewels  and how the shadows are scattered to look like an inside of a treasure chest. It has a big mirror which is always handy and is thin and compact for traveling, I’m really loving this and cant wait to play around and create some looks with this.

 

My favourites are definitely the foil metallic shades I can’t even describe how utterly pigmented these are, I literally dipped my finger in and was shocked how much product was on my finger, they’re almost like a glitter shadow but without the primer, glue and fall out of a glitter shadow if that makes sense?

Coin is one of my favourite foil shades in this palette, it’s a pure bright gold almost like 24k gold and will suit so many skin tones, also the shade key is one of my favourites out of the matte shades as it’s a lovely warm brown and would be lovely to use with coin!

Gemstone is also another of my favourite shades it’s a rose gold metallic, and I’m obsessed with rose gold lately.

This palette has a mixture of gold, coppers, and rose gold tones and the mattes just complement the metallic shades So well, I think this palette is gorgeous and I’m just so happy I managed to find it, I cant wait to see what DOC brings out next. This may be pricey but for how pigmented and buttery these shades are it’s well worth the money in my opinion.

I find using my finger for the foil shadows is better than using a brush but that’s just my person preference.

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
