Daiso Japan Beauty Haul

 Everything in store $1.50 or less, items sold on the DAISO JAPAN online store are sold in bulk. I like this shop because it has everything from household items to stationary. Even some beauty and makeup items as well. This time around I picked up some much needed essentials grapefruit makeup wipes, adhesive tape for press on nails, a nail scrubber, oil blotting paper, and pedicure toe separators. All items were $1.50 each.

The oil blotting paper is made from old traditional Japanese "Mino-Washi Paper". And contains natural ingredients that are gentle on sensitive skin.

Beauty Treats: Matte Blush Palette

Review

This palette features 10 bright colored full sized blushes. These colors are beautiful, pigmented, and bold. There are some great neutrals and every skin tone can find at least two or three shades to work with. If you love matte blushes, this inexpensive Beauty Treats palette is for you. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The colors are blendable and buildable. I like that you can build the intensity of these blushes on the skin. $5.99USD

Swatchout! Wet N Wild coloricon Eyeshadow Palette: California Roll

 Review

These are beautiful colors and all of them have okay pigmentation, with 3 frost shades and 3 matte shades, you can create many colorful spring looks with this palette. The red and green matte shades are my favorites out of the palette because of the uniqueness the colors bring, you would not be able to call this palette California Roll without the Wasabi green color which has some gold re-flecks in the formula. $2.99USD

Recommendations
1. Use a white or light eyeshadow base underneath to help colors pop. (You can use concealer as a substitute)
2. Use an eyeshadow brush not sponge applicator to apply.
3. Do not rub onto eyelid, pack onto the eyelid to build up color.
4. Do not put glitter directly onto eyelid if you have sensitive eyes, always apply a primer first. 

Ruby Kisses Ultra Matte Super Rich Lipstick: Dark Plum Scene & Blue Lagoon

 Review

I purchased both of these colors because they looked the most interesting to me and I was just plain curious. I can honestly say I love the feel and how these lipsticks look on the lips. The formula is awesome,creamy, matte, non drying. Dark Plum Scene is the perfect dark vampy fall color and very sexy. And Blue Lagoon is a fun color for spring and summer.  The coverage is amazing. 1 to 2 applications. Yes these are as ultra matte as a Beauty Supply $2.99USD lipstick can get.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick: Redrum

 

 Review

I really like this lipsticks color and formula. It is easily to apply because of it's large applicator and the color dries quickly. Does not rub off or smudge. Not as bright a red as Lime Crime's Red Velvetine, but still pretty non the less. My favorite part is the packaging of course, the shipping was fast and everything was packed nicely. $18.00 USD +jeffreestar Buy It Here

NYX Butter Lipsticks: Big Cherry, Razzle, Lollies

Review

 These are suppose to be full coverage hydrating lipsticks. However I found them to be patchy runny and easy to rub off. In other words this review has already been compromised, but let me explain. These Butter lipsticks got rave reviews and I read as many of them as I could even looked at swatches. But for some reason I could not get these to work for me. My favorite out of the three is Razzle, it leaves a nice pink tint on the lips. I was hoping for more pigmentation and less formula, which is far from hydrating, and only dries my lips out more, so I have to wear a lip balm underneath. This could be because there are a lot of products put into making these lipsticks. $6.00USD

Review

I love this color and the formula. It did stay put 8 plus hours with eating and drinking, I only had to reapply at the corners and the inside of the lips afterwards. Did not fade or flake. Excellent coverage. This color is a deep purple, that would look vampy and amazing on all skin tones. Use makeup remover wipes to remove this product from the lips.

LASplash Smitten LipTint Mousse: Raven Claw

From LASplash Cosmetics Website:

Bathe your lips in intense color! The Smitten LipTint Mousse seals color on the lips for a waterproof, smudge-proof result that will not transfer or fade. Its innovative weightless formula glides on effortlessly over lips, laying down bold vibrant color with exceptional longevity and feels feather-light over the lips. When applied, the initial liquid texture immediately dries to a velvet matte, lightweight tint. The angled, dense sponge applicator makes applying the lipstick fast and easy, and precise application.

 Review

I love the color and the formula is thicker and dries faster than other brands. As far as long lasting it is long lasting however expect some flaking over time and reapplications after eating and even drinking from a straw. It is advertised as waterproof and indeed it is as I swatched it on my hand and it stayed throughout the next day until I removed it with a makeup wipe.  I recommend a oil based makeup remover to remove this lip product. Be quick and as accurate with your application as possible because this formula dries quick. I'd say up to a minute after application. No taste or smell to complain of. And I enjoy the packaging. This particular color is a pigmented beauty deep berry color, which would look great on all skin tones.  $11.98USD
