6 Favorite Daiso Finds

I don't know about you, but Daiso is definitely a store where I could spend about an hour at by just browsing through all of their stuff and trying to find some uses for each one. Seriously though, they have almost anything you never thought that you would need or maybe something that's a cheaper alternative to what you actually want. 

Walking out of a Daiso store empty handed seems almost impossible from what I witnessed except for maybe when you already bought everything you needed from there. Though you gotta admit that sometimes, it's a hit or miss. Sometimes what we end up buying just isn't upto par with what we expected it to be, it's not even that but Daiso definitely gives you that mindset that "oh, this is cheap" and you end up grabbing a ton of things to have a very expensive bill when you check out at the counter. With that, and to save some of you from all the money and trouble, here are my all time favorite purchases and what I would recommend you get from Daiso:

• Slippers

I have been looking for a pair like these for awhile now. I do know that Birkenstock has them but I did wanted something where the price is a little bit cheaper. Then I went to Daiso and saw these for PHP 88. I wasn't aware that the sizes were a size bigger than usual since I am pretty sure I'm a size 37 but these are kinda big on me, and no, I wasn't able to try them on before buying them because I had shoes and socks on at that time and didn't really feel like taking them off especially with so many people around that aisle too. But hey, it still looks nice, it is a little bit uncomfortable during the first time I wore them but after awhile, it felt okay to wear when you have some quick errands to run and you just need something to slip on that looks good. 

• Divider

I'm pretty sure everybody's aware of this because this has been selling out on so many Daiso branches near my place. Basically it helps you separate everything but still keep them all in one place (if that makes sense). This is for you to organize things inside of your drawer or maybe a lipstick holder like what I do. 

• Clock

This little thing is what me and my mom have been trying to find everywhere. We did manage to find something exactly similar at a store in SM, but they sell it for PHP 1099 and this little guy in Daiso was only PHP 188. It's also an alarm clock (and I could tell you that it's very loud) and has a light switch that you can press if you wanna know what time it is when you're in the dark. 

• Portable fan

It's just so hot here in the Philippines-- that when you are out and about, you can't help but fan yourself because you are just constantly sweating. I found this on Daiso and you just need 2 AA batteries for it and you can carry it around. Pretty much a life saver. 

• 5 in 1 Beauty care massager

This is another product that has been selling out on all of the Daiso branches. I use this mainly for massaging my face and cleansing my skin. It has 5 types of brushes, 1 crude polish accessory to rip the tough skin and cutin off, 1 latex soft sponge for eye, cheek massaging, 1 make-up sponge to massage and clean your skin, 1 rolling massager to make better blood circumstances from skin aging (I always use this one) and 1 soft brush to clear up all the scurf clings on the surface (which I use to cleanse my face). This on'es price is PHP 188 and just needs 1 AA battery. 

• Brush cleaner

Most beauty enthusiast that I know of have tried and loved this product because it definitely does it's job on cleaning out your makeup brush thoroughly. Plus, it's only PHP 88 and it smells nice. I actually made a review on this so if you wanna check that out, click here.

So those are all of my favorites from Daiso and if you have any recommendations for me to get from that store, leave a comment below and tell me if you've tried out any of the things I mentioned. 

Until the next post,

Daiso Makeup Brush Cleaner Review

If you've seen my previous Youtube video, you'd know how much I've been talking about these babies and yet, I just can't get enough about it! Wanna know why? Then keep on reading...

Price:
PHP 88 at Daiso in Robinson's Galleria.

What do I think of this product?

I can't help it but what I first saw is that Daiso is from Japan although this one is made in Korea. I don't know why people keep saying that this has no scent but for me it smells abit citrusy which isn't bad at all (at least for me). It has some insights + instructions on the back of the product which is very helpful especially for beginners who don't know how to use one of these but here is an example of how I clean mine. (Note: This isn't my complete routine but just showing you guys how I use this product):

1. Put a good amount of Daiso Makeup Brush Cleaner in a container.
2. Put a little bit of water.
3. Dip and swirl your brush around until the liquid changes color.
4. Rinse with a brush egg or however you wish.

Is the money worth it?

I'm happy to say that it is. It's surprisingly cheap but does it's job well. I honestly didn't expect anything good from this product but boy was I wrong. The only con I would say about this is it's very hard to get one. Not all Daiso branches sell these and it did took me a few weeks to be able to find one and to see that they only have a few pieces on stock (not even 10 pieces). It's really good for my brushes because it doesn't ruin it although I don't own any animal hair brush to test it out (but caution: I did hear that this product does not do well with animal hair brushes). 

Hope that you found this review useful and if you got any more questions, suggestions, request, don't hesitate to leave a comment down below and I'll reply as soon as I can.

Monthly Favorites | September 2015

I can't believe how fast the time is passing by this year, I'm also proud of myself that I only missed 1 day of blog posting for this whole month and I kinda think that it's pretty fun and teaches me to plan ahead of time, if you'd like to hear about my experience, do read my 100th blog post all about it Anyway, onto my favorites for this month, I've done alot of hauls so narrowing them down to the things that I truly adore was pretty tough, so here they are:

To start off, I would tell you about this amazing brush and it is the elf Professional Blending Eye Brush P149.75 ($3.19 USD). I bought this during my drugstore haul  along with some other brushes and this one would have to be my favorite of all of them. I love the fact that this was pretty cheap but does it's job pretty well. I don't have to push this brush too much into my skin so just using a light hand to blend out any harsh lines on my eye makeup is great.

The lol (Lots Of Love) Cosmetics Bronzing Powder P139 ($2.96 USD). I still have a love-hate relationship with this product but I kinda leaned in to actually using it more often for days when I just wanna look simple but still put an effort to my look. For a more indepth review, click HERE.

Bobbie Cosmetics Poof! Concealer P100 ($2.14 USD). The brand bobbie is what I sometimes use for my manicure brand. Just recently did I know and saw that they had a cosmetics line. I checked that out and found that their products are inexpensive and has really cute packaging. I picked up this cream concealer and it is the 2nd lightest shade (They only have 3 shades) which is the CN-02. I'm pretty fair skinned so I was surprised that the lightest shade was too light for me and this one is a tone lighter but the 3rd one was too dark. I settled for this one for using as a highlight or for under the eyes. Read my detailed review all about this product HERE.

For lipstick, I have the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by: Kate Moss Lipstick in 107. I just really love this color and although it is abit different of what I would usually wear, it helps me feel confident but not too bold for my taste, for a more indepth review click HERE.

Another unusual favorite of mine is a new app that I'm quite addicted to and it is the Dear Future Self, app. I featured this app on my 3 Cool Apps That Every Blogger Should Have and this app basically lets you send yourself a text whenever you need to receive it eg: a minute, 10 minutes, an hour or more after you hit send. With this, it'll remind you of what you need to do while you're on-the go. Plus, it is available to use offline without any load or credits used.

Duolingo, an app that has been keeping me entertained / busy this month and what I recommend you to try if you are wanting to learn a few languages or just freshen up what you already know. It is pretty helpful and if you got the spare time then why not right? It is fun to learn something new everyday.

For books, I recently read "Slammed" by: Colleen Hoover. I could definitely relate to the story since I'm somehow going through the same thing. With this, I thought that, I'm not the only one experiencing some things and some people just have it worse and I should be lucky for what I do have at the moment. Worth the read if you are looking for one at the moment. I'm currently reading the sequel or next book for this series.

Another book that I recently read and loved is #Girlboss by: Sophie Amorouso (aka the founder of Nasty Gal). Her story before and while starting out with her company was what I would call refreshing. She was pretty unique and courageous, a sudden change of what I hear most of the time from famous women. I highly recommend this if you are looking for inspiration or just wanna know the history of Nasty gal.

Alright so those have been my favorites for this month and I hope that this was somehow helpful and comment down below if you have tried any of these things and how it worked out for you or if you have any suggestions for me to try out and I'll be sure to reply as soon as I can.

Ps: I recently had a simple milestone, read all about it HERE

Drugstore Haul

So I know I just had a haul about a week ago, but I happen to go by the mall again today, (Yesterday since you're reading it now) and I picked up some pretty cool stuff that I really need. So yeap, here they are:

I'm pretty sure most of you are expecting some beauty products but I just had to include this because it reminds me so much of what I used to wear back in high school for school and it is these Solemate Black Flats and these are P199.75 ($4.24). Besides from the nostalgia, I actually got it because my black flats are starting to break and I know that I would need to replace it pretty soon. So, when I saw these, I just went ahead and got them plus they're really cheap.

Pantene Total Damage Care 10 and I actually already got this, but I used them all up yesterday all because I made a DIY hair toner (Will post more about that soon) so I got another one and this one is now for daily use. This costs P115 ($2.54).

The Body Treats Oil Control.. wipes I wanna say? These costs about P99 and I got it because I just don't have one so I'll give this one a try.

So, Beauty Tools, First I got the Watson's Eyebrow Razors P79 ($1.68) for all three because again, I used up all of mine and I had to repurchase them and it's good quality.

Next is the Cuticle Remover P49.75 ($1.06) and I admit, I love doing my nails but I never ever owned one of these and I'm always fascinated on watching other people use it so I decided to get myself one and have a nail session after I post this.

The Facial Hair Remover (Spring) P89 ($1.90) Another product that I never owned or used before but I have seen these babies around on youtube where some girls use this for their 'stache. I was actually gonna purchase one way back, but I never really found it in stores until today, so I got them and I'll give them a try.

I admit that I have been browsing through brushes the longest from my trip and one of them that I got is the Elf Eye Blending Brush and I do not have a brush like this plus it was pretty cheap P149.75 ($3.19), well cheapest that I saw and I have heard alot of people recommending this brush because I guess it's that good, so I'm pretty excited to try this one out.

Marionnaud N37 Pointed Eyeshadow Brush P89.75 ($1.91), I had one of these before but I lost it for I don't know what reason so I got it again today and I can tell you that I actually like this brush, but then again I have never tried out other brands for a brush like this. All I know is that whenever I use this, I get the results that I want so I'm satisfied with it.

Another Marionnaud brush and it is the Marionnaud N32 Slanted Blusher Brush P109 ($2.32) and this was actually on sale, I forgot how much was the old price but I actually needed a brush like this for contouring since I use my foundation brush to apply my contour before. I like that it's so soft and I feel like using it right now (I may or may not be stroking it on my face as I'm typing this)

For makeup I got 2 products and this one, I am not that familiar with the brand name but as I was browsing through all their products, I noticed that all of what they have there are super cheap so I picked one up and it is the lol (Lots Of Love) Bronzing Powder in 02 Brown Sugar P139 ($2.96). They only have 2 bronzer shades and this one is the matte type and the other which I think may be the 01 is a shimmery type. I got this because I am in a matte phase and if you read most of my blog posts, you would know how much matte stuff I own by now.

Lastly, I didn't actually got this today since I got this one at an online shop which is @bodyrockers_ph on Instagram and it is the Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Lipstick in 107, they sell them for P350 ($7.46). I got this because of all the people raving about this brand and some of my friends has asked me to try it because they are inlove with this product. I will do a separate review for this product soon, so all I could say is that I'm pretty excited to give this a go.

So those are all the products that I got for today and I seriously need to sort out my makeup collection because it is a mess at the moment so if you have any suggestions for makeup cases or brushes or lipstick then comment down below so you could help me (please) and if you have any more questions do not be shy, I will be replying to them as soon as I see them.

Thanks for reading and until the next blog!
