Daiso Products

Lip Gloss Set

 The clear gloss is complete crap, but the other 3 shades are pretty pigmented when applied with a lip brush. It dries to a "satin(ish)" finish. All three shades wear for about as long as you can keep from drinking anything, but for $1.50 I paid, I can't complain. Plus, i really like the mirror.

Pure Color Cream Blush

This looks really shiny, because it is super greasy. The color pay off wasn't bad, but it only lasted for about an hour. I also tried putting Well Dressed by M.A.C on top, but it just looked like a sad, greasy, and pasty mess.

Magical Mascara in brown

This is by far the saddest mascara story I have ever heard. The package lied! There is nothing magical about this product what so ever!!! I could have put a picture of what it looked like on my lashes, but the formula was so thick it refused to cling to anything but the wand. It is seriously that thick. I'm a little pissed I spent $1.50 on what looks like Muscle Milk's high protein pudding.

Koji: Spring Heart Mascara

I have this dream that one day I would have tried every mascara known to MAN! This one is by a Japanese brand called Koji. (never heard of it before) The price was right, the packaging was cute, and what a weird yet catchy name. The package claims that for $10, this is a long and curl mascara black. This has a medium sized wand and the formula is pretty thin compared to other Japanese mascaras I have tried. It reminds me of Maybelline's Great Lash mascara wand, just slightly longer. They weren't lying when they claimed it to be a black mascara. The formula is jet black, almost blue. As for the long and curl claim...those are also true. The length it gave my lashes was pretty dramatic and it held my curl all day. WARNING! This is another mascara that is a chore to take off. ( I ran out of my Estee Lauder makeup remover, so i had to use olive oil. ) The fact that this mascara's claim all turned out true, brings me joy. However, there are a few things that makes me want to chuck the tube ... at a clown. It makes my lashes look like a long, curly, BRITTLE mess. Not only does it look brittle, but it feels like it would make the same sound your hand would make if it was crushing potatoes chips. See for yourselves. :(
