Dirt Cheap Finds! Super Pigmented Eyeshadow Palette..

Hey Guys!

I'm happy and excited to share this eyeshadow palette I just bought. It's Dirt Cheap yet super pigmented. It's the Qianyu Professional Make-up Double Layer 10 Color Eyeshadow in No. 04. Okay, that was a mouthful. Good luck memorizing that! :)


For sure, makeup snobs won't even take a second look at this baby. Ex-snob here BTW! But sometimes lovelies, we need to have an open mind specially for products that really does the job. Still, be careful! It wouldn't hurt to have a mindset that anything cheap is harmful.


So, I was out grocery shopping in one of the malls here in the Philippines when I spot this beauty. It was so metallic, so shiny, and so pretty! I just can't resist not buying it. When I saw the brand, Qianyu, I knew right away that it's Made in China and probably a brand from China. I was like thinking, "Well, not everything from there is bad. So, what the heck let's buy it!"



There were 3 color varieties available at that time but I chose this because I think the color is wearable. When I got home, I did some research and found out that this product has 4 color varieties. The brand can also be found in other countries. NOT only in Asia, but also in the US and some parts of Europe. You can check your local markets and bazaars if they have it.


2 of the varieties came with 8 eyeshadow and 2 blush. The other 2 are all eyeshadow. I got the one with no blush which is definitely okay because if something went wrong, atleast I only have one problem right? Which are my eyes...... Lol! :) BTW, I don't own the pictures above.


Let's check out the one I got!

Nice! Not all makeup has an expiration date but it contains TALC.
The price is approx. US$1.50.

These are the swatches. I didn't use any primer or base here. They are just highly pigmented on their own. Also, I only swiped my fingers ones on each color because the color transfer is just crazy.

If you can only see how pretty the palette is. I really enjoy staring at it because of how pigmented and how metallic it is. So beautiful... :)

Anyhoo, since the product easily transfer, be careful of fallout! Unless you want to look shiny shimmery splendid. The texture of the eyeshadow is almost creamy so it's very easy to apply and to also blend. There might be some fallout from time to time but it will depend on the brush you will use. As expected, longevity is not that long since it transfers easily. You will need a primer. The product has a floral smell but bearable. The eyeshadow stains specially the black one.

BTW! I already tested this product on my eyelids for almost 8 hours. I didn't itch. I didn't feel any sting whatsoever. I have oily-combi sensitive skin but I didn't experience anything unusual. I just don't know after prolong use, we'll see!

Also, I didn't find any negative feedback regarding the brand Qianyu except the one from EcoWaste Coalition.


Thank you guys for checking my first Dirt Cheap Finds.

Tata for now! :)

  1. Wow! Amazing find! I'm so surprised to see that the colors are that highly pigmented! Thanks so much for sharing this. I will have to see if they have this brand at a local drugstore.

    1. Hi dear! :) I'm surprised as well because it was a blind buy, they didn't have a tester. This would definitely be part of my night look.

      I'm happy you liked it May. I hope you can find it in your country!
      Enjoy your day.. :)
