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 #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 :)

Daiso Product #4: Ever Bilena Clear Mascara

Daiso Ever Bilena Clear Mascara
Price: 7.00AED @ Daiso UAE
Made in Taiwan
I am just a little confused with the name Ever Bilena as I have always known it as a Philippine Brand of Cosmetics. Anyways, I purchased this mascara as I read a lot of good reviews about Daiso Mascaras. But those reviews were about the black ones. But I don't use black. So I opted for this clear mascara. Well, it was not a good choice. It doesn't do anything. I can't even get the product from the tube how much more into making it stay on my eyelashes? It is more of a water than gel. And no, this is not an eyelash primer. If it is then the label would say so. Maybe next time I'll just try the black mascara that others were raving about. 

Sharing this to warn other who's thinking about purchasing this. That's all for now. Till next time..
