Daiso Product #19: Daiso Skin Glow Base

Daiso is a shop that I am visiting a lot just to look around but I always end up buying something. Even if I do not need that something. Back in the day when I was a hoarder, I had much of what we call Daiso Haul and I managed to share some of them over here. Then what happened over the years? I tried to be a minimalist that I stopped the ‘hauls’ altogether from all the shops. Then I realized that I would never be a good writer nor a photographer so what is the point in blogging? In addition, the time, ah all the adults can relate to it. Not having enough time. I am back to writing posts again because it might be helpful to others. I started sharing about Daiso products but honestly, we do not have the best Daiso in the world. Daiso in other countries have food, clothes, shoes and many cosmetics to choose from.

In UAE Daiso barely has cosmetics and I do not know why? I have seen this Daiso skin glow base back in June 2020 only at Dubai Mall for 7.35AED and I bought a few pieces. I have never seen it in other branches. I have never seen it again at Dubai Mall. They do not have any idea when they will have it again. Or if the main Daiso discontinued it. I know this is a base for makeup but it is as good as moisturizer. It is transparent in color. And I am sorry if I am not really good in describing things. But I am labeling it good just because it is moisturizing and affordable.

Daiso Product #18: Makeup Remover

There are so many things I would like to share but I do not have the time so instead I will post the photos as if this is instagram. The third and last makeup remover wipes that I got from Daiso for 7.35AED and on that amount tax is included. As for the product as I've said before, so far all the skin care I got from them are all good.

Daiso Product #17: Collagen Makeup Remover

 

I will no longer write long descriptions as I am not a good writer or reviewer anyway. I got this another variant of makeup remover from good old Daiso for 7.35AED including tax. All I can say is, so far all the products I got from Daiso are good and I do not need to spend a fortune anymore. 

Daiso Product #16: Hyaluronic Makeup Remover

Daiso makeup remover that retails for 7.35AED tax included. It is a good oil based makeup remover wipes. Sorry for such a short description though as I am in a hurry. I decided to go back on posting again as I want to share all the Daiso stuff I bought. I want to help the brands I believe in, in my own little ways.

Daiso Product #15: Shoe Boxes

Shoe Box
Price: 9.00AED
Purchased at Daiso Dubai Mall

Just when I thought I have taken clear photos and now posting them only to see that no they are not. And the camera was on Automatic Mode. But then moving on.. I checked the available plastic shoe box at Carrefour and Tati Department Store both shops have but pricier than Daiso. So I went back to Daiso and purchased shoe boxes from them only. As I have said I'm cleaning up the room. And part of that cleaning up is letting go of so many item that's creating a clutter and mess in the room.

These shoes of mine are still all on fine condition so instead of throwing them away I'll just send them back home. For sure one of them can still use it. And to prevent any damages to the shoes I decided to put them individually in shoe boxes. At least it looks organized this way. My younger version wanted too many shoes even though I only have 2 feet. And now that I'm old all I'm seeing is a messy room and empty pocket. And so time to change before it becomes too late.

Daiso Product #14: Pouch

Daiso Clear Pouch

Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso UAE

Made in China

I now have more than 30 tubes of lipsticks if I am not mistaken that I decided to get myself a pouch so I can bring some of them at work and can keep on retouching. It's easier to spot/grab them from the messy bag of mine if they are in the pouch. Normally I would have opted for a leather pouch as leather can live forever even when I am gone. But then genuine leather is not so popular in the UAE market as I don't see them often. It's just all about colors and designs. Some shops offer leather products but with price as high as the sky and comes in black or brown only. Old good Fossil leather accessories is not even around. Sigh! 

So instead of leather pouch I bought myself a clear plastic type. Looked for a few shops and other shops offer unbelievable price. It's just made of plastic for crying out loud. Good thing is reliable Daiso is there when you need something for a pocket friendly price. And here's my inexpensive Daiso clear pouch:

Kawaii!! Isn't it?

Thanks for dropping by!

Till next time.

Daiso Product #13: Lemon Peeling Gel

Daiso Lemon Peeling Gel

Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso Dubai Mall

Made in Korea

Peeling gel is a product from Asia that's serve as a cleanser. Not only for the face but also for the body. It is an a very gentle exfoliant that uses fruit enzymes to remove dead skin cells. The most popular brand right now is the Cure Aqua Gel which happens to be expensive and unavailable in UAE market. Thankfully good old Daiso decides to release their own version of peeling gel. I think this is a new product from Daiso. I purchased it from Daiso Dubai Mall and haven't seen it yet in other branches. Daiso Lemon Peeling Gel.

Daiso Product #12: Eyeshadow

Daiso Eyeshadow [Brown]

Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso UAE

Made in Taiwan

For years I had been wanting to try eyeshadow from Daiso but since I am not really into eyeshadow it has taken a long time before I finally gave in and purchased one. Daiso eyeshadows are affordable. Mostly comes in cute packaging and I remember from yesteryears those tiny and colorful choices. I have chose shade of brown so I can use it in office, that is if there will be a miracle in the morning and I will have an extra time haha.

Another photo of the packaging. Details are written in Japanese. Spanish and English. Methinks that somehow Daiso is now big in Spanish speaking countries that they have to include it out of all the languages in the world, eh?

Back of the product on How To Use and Purpose. 

Ingredients if you must know.

Company details and Country of Origin.

The packaging is sturdy and small so you can bring it with you if you want. And I like that the front is transparent. So the shades are visible even without opening the palette.

It has a mirror inside and comes with 2 sponge applicators.

The swatch. Out of the 3 shades I can say that only two looks good on my morena or brown skin tone. The lightest one no matter how many layers I applied on my eyelids it won't show properly. But then I tell myself still it is not bad for the price. 

Last words? This is one of my many Daiso purchases that I don't regret buying. It can hold a candle against other eyeshadows I have. The only reason why I will not repurchase because for sure it will take me a decade to finish this one. Not unless I decide to use it everyday. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by.

Daiso Product #11: Brilliant Creamy Blush

Daiso Cream Blush

Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso UAE

Made in Taiwan

Okay so month of June my Une Blush was about to finish. But I am too broke to buy a new one in spite of Centrepoint having a sale. As I had to purchase other things like new shoes and skirts for the office. I just can't buy everything all at once. That is when this Daiso Cream Blush came into the picture. Very affordable. And cream type. The only type of blush on I use. I have dry cheeks and so powder type would just turn into flakes in my cheeks. (But this experienced happened to me years ago when I was starting to use a blush on so now I am contemplating if I should try a powder blush? Who knows with my current skin and weather it might work now. Maybe. But that is another story.) Now let me share with you massive photos of this product. Most of the time I just share too many photos as they can explain better than words I think. And here they are:

 I have chosen the color Rose.

 How to Use and How to Store.

 Caution.

 Ingredients.

 Country of Origin.

 Lovely cover.

 It has a sponge.

 Shade of Dark Pink.

 Back of the product.

 Swatch.

It has glitters but not very visible in the photo.

What can I say about this product? Well this is an 'okay' product for me. Means I don't consider this as the best I ever had when it comes to cream blush on. But not so bad either. That is my first impression only. Who knows it might change as soon as I keep on using this product. This is so affordable that I might get the coral shade on my next pay day. And even if it has a glitters I am still fine with as it is not much noticeable.

And before I forget I didn't rave about the cuteness of the packaging. Because it is already 'expected' from Japanese products. The being 'kawaii". From their food items to skin care products and other items. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by.

Daiso Product #10: Facial Plate

Daiso Facial Plate
Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso Lamcy Plaza
Made in China

Even without reading it can be seen in the photos on the product what it is about. But I consider this another odd item at Daiso. I mean a comb and at the same time facial plate? What is a facial plate? The only plate I know is the one I'm using whenever I eat food. I bought it out of curiosity as I never had a facial plate before. I would just like to try it out if it is good or not. If it turns out to be a bad product at least I can still use it as a comb.

The back side of the product. Until now I'm still getting confused with my camera. If I will look at the camera screen it looks like blurry but upon seeing it at the laptop then it is fine. Not really big but at least clear enough. Instructions are written in Japanese, English and Spanish. Sounds like Spanish so I take it as Spanish.

Instructions on How To Use. Let me write it down if it is too small for you. Apply lotion after washing your face. Use after applying commercially available oil or cream. Use for about 10 minutes a day. (I'm not too sure it I can use it for that long because 10 minutes is for one side of the face only so both cheeks would be 20 minutes, that is already too long for me).

How To Store: Dry well after use. 
Caution:
Do not use excessively on one area.
Individual experience and result may vary.
Stop use immediately and consult a doctor when irritation occurs.
Do not use on areas with sores or broken skin.
Do not use on abdomen during menstruation.
Do not use this product for other than its originally intended purpose.
~ Duh. I was scratching my head upon typing the 5th on the list of caution. This is for face so why would any woman do that? :)

Country of Origin. But then this one doesn't really matter as for sure there's a strict QC after all Daiso is a Japanese product. They'll surely care for their name/company/reputation. And I can't think of any harm this really product can do. 

I stopped writing this post for a while to take a bath and after doing so I tried this on my face. It is relaxing as it massage my face. But I just wish someone will do it for me haha. So in short, this is an okay product. If you want to pamper yourself a little without shedding a fortune. It is better to use it while watching TV. That's all for now. I'll be sharing more Daiso products in the days to come. Ciao!

Daiso Product #9: Aloe Vera MakeUp Remover

Aloe Vera Makeup Remover Wipes

Price: 7.00AED [30 pcs per packet] @ Daiso

Made in Korea

One of my favorite make up removers. Aloe Vera MakeUp Remover wipes from Daiso. I know that in the market there so many brands but I haven't seen one that can beat this price as this good. This is what you can really call value for money. I got this one at Daiso in Lamcy. I am not sure if this is available in other branches. It is slightly scented but not bad at all. This can remove even the stubborn waterproof make up especially the mascara. Must buy if you are looking for a good brand but at the same time budget conscious. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by.

Daiso Product #8: Charcoal Pore Care Pack [Nose Strips]

Daiso Charcoal Pore Pack

Natural Charcoal

4 Pieces Per Box

Price: 7.00AE @ Daiso UAE
Made in Korea

For the last 8 years here in the UAE I had been using a different brand of nose strips. I don't have a problem with that brand but then I am glad that I found Daiso Charcoal Pore Care Pack. The one I am using cost 17.00AED (6 pieces in a box). Yes, price plays a major factor why I made the switch. Daiso is cheaper. But can do the same job. Definitely no way that I'll ever use another brand again. But the downside of this Daiso is the availability. It is usually out of stock. When you see it available you better stock up or wait a long time when it will be available again.

 

As of the first weekend of April they were not available at Mirdif City Centre and Lamcy Plaza. So for this month of April even though I no longer have a budget once it becomes available I'll surely buy a dozen or so. I cannot live without nose strips as sadly white heads whether I like it or not is something I cant get rid off 100%. Nose products can only lessen them but not make them totally vanish for good.

Daiso Product #7: Ellefar Waterproof Mascara

Daiso Ellefar Waterproof Mascara

Ellefar Princess Series

Ellefar Princess Volume Mascara

Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso UAE

Made in China

Right after my disappointment with Daiso Clear Mascara it didn't stop me from buying another mascara AGAIN from Daiso. This one is called Daiso Ellefar Waterproof Volume Mascara. I am not really into mascara but then seeing so many photos from Instagram or other social networking sites; those beautiful women with beautiful lashes... It is encouraging me to try it out too. My verdict? This is value for money I think. I got what I paid for. I am not really extremely happy but not disappointed. Makes my lashes thicker but not longer. I am glad that I was able to try it without spending a fortune. But I will not purchase again as it is not really my thing. Lastly, yes this is really waterproof. Stays on my lashes the whole day. Will just finish it then stop using a  mascara as at night I am already too lazy to remove it. I'd rather have a few minutes added to my sleep than spending those minutes removing the mascara. But then that is just me :)
