[Review]: Daiso Brown Mix False Eyelashes in No.3 Romantic Style


What up, my people? 

Can you believe July is over?! This means summer break is going to be done in a month! It's crazy how time flies! But then again, my break started way back in May since I didn't take any classes for this summer semester. 

As weird as it sounds, I'm ready to go back to school and take some classes! I've had so much time on my hands these days, that going back to classes will be refreshing. 

I finally have good news, I'm going to be even more busy because I found a job, and I'm going to start in a few days. ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

Since I don't how much time I will have for blogging in the future, I decided to go ahead and review the brown mix false eyelashes in no. 3 romantic style, from Daiso, as I've shown from my previous post.

{About}

From the Daiso eyelashes that I buy, the Brown Mix series is my favorite. The series has six different types of false lashes. 

Unlike the lashes that I had tried and bought  previously, from Daiso, the brown mix series lashes are softer and the lash band is clear and a lot more bendable.

 Today from the series, I`m going to be reviewing, the No. 3 Romantic Style one.


The romantic style lashes are the only ones from the series that have more, thicker, fuller and dense lashes towards the end of the eyelashes. Whereas other lash styles had the lashes spread out evenly, the romantic style lashes do not, as the appeal is to make the lashes more alluring.

In comparison from the other lashes from the same series, this one, surprisingly, the lash fibers were really soft. The band was also a lot more flexible than some of other ones in the series.

HOWEVER...


Due to the density and weight of the lashes on the end, the corner of the false eyelashes curled up. This resulted in the application taking a bit longer and the over all look appearing quite weird. ಠ╭╮ಠ

{My hair is messy, hope you don't mind!}

Look at how much length is added, when worn.
-I really like how long my lashes look, seeing how the lashes lengthen my real ones quite a bit.
My lashes are fuller...only at the end though.
-The lashes do give a fuller look, but only towards the end of the lashes. They are more suited for giving off the alluring or exotic look, instead of the dolly or doe-like appearance, I prefer instead.

★{Overall Thoughts}★

The packaging was adorable and girly, sadly, it's what made me drew to the lashes itself.
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ♡
The application was a bit more difficult compared to other lashes from the series, given how the ends would curl up.
❤ ❤ ♡ ♡ ♡
The comfort of the lashes was good, the band wasn't a hard plastic and the lash fibers were really soft.
❤ ❤ ❤ ♡ ♡
The quality is much better in comparison of other Daiso lashes.
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ♡
The price is great!
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
The overall rating for these lashes would be:
❤ ❤ ❤  

I would say this though, from the Brown Mix series, the "romantic style" ones have to be my least favourite. I would recommend trying the lashes from the series, but I would get a different style only because I found the other styles more cutesy and appealing. 

There's also the fact that these lashes are the first to ever curl up for me, so that's a minus. Also, if you're looking for lashes that gives you both length and fuller lashes, you might want to skip these ones!

Again, to end of on a positive note, these lashes are the softest ones from the series and the most flexible. They are probably one of the more unique ones as well.

Thanks for reading (and the 10k views!), ɾ⚈▿⚈ɹ

Small Daiso Haul ❤


Hello everyone!

How is the summer treating you guys so far? Here in Vancouver, Canada, these days, the weather has been very sweltering and worse of all, very muggy(┳◇┳) More so, there has been numerous forest fires, so the air around me has been very smokey.

Before the weather had gotten to bad, I went to (what else?) my favourite store, Daiso, and bought some stuff with the idea of doing future DIY projects and personal reasons.

Believe it or not, I actually haven't been to Daiso for a while, so once I stepped in, I had the overwhelming feeling of buying a lot of things, but thankfully, I made my friend talk me out of not getting some things. (๑→‿←๑)

Here's some overview photos!



Let's look at what I got

1) Fake Flowers
I love pink too much.
-I picked up three pink bouquets with having the idea of making floral crowns during the summer. I have too much time on my hands and so I thought I might as well do something productive such as DIY projects for fun.

"Margarita" bouquet.
"Marguerite Bush" bouquet.
"Water Lily" bouquet.

2) False Eyelashes
-I have previously bought some eyelashes from the brown mix series before, but I didn't review them at the time, for some reason. These lashes are probably one the better ones from Daiso, in terms of comfort and design.

-From the brown mix series eyelashes, there are six different designs, I picked up two of them, number 3 and 6.

No.3 "Romantic Style" design.
No.6 "Fairy Style" design.

3) Floral Wire
-I bought the floral wire because it's going to be the base of my upcoming floral crown project. Since it's from Daiso, it's already cheaper than buying it from an arts and craft store, such as Michaels. While the wire is not long as I would like, I'm planning to tape the wires together with floral tape.

I'm hoping to write more blog posts during this month, but on the 17th I'm going to New York for an entire week with family, so I won't have too much time. However, I do have ideas formulated already for my next few posts.

Thanks for reading,
Courtney ♡

[Review]: Daiso False Eyelashes


As you can tell by my username, I love the store Daiso! In fact, it's one of my favourite stores to shop at, since it sells about almost everything you need from home supplies, DIYs items, food, to makeup. The majority of these items priced at only $2, which is a great deal!

But what is Daiso?

If you're unsure or unfamiliar, Daiso is a company from Japan, and is well-known to be an unique store, as it functions to serve as both a convenient and higher-quality dollar store. They carry various and numerous items, that are in great quality considering the price they sell it for.

In Vancouver, there's an official Daiso store in Richmond, specifically in Aberdeen centre. As well, there's a smaller, but sister store of Daiso, located at Tinseltown, called Yoko Yaya.

Both of these stores, which sell similar items, are known to be popular as the products they carry are very affordable to the public.

And today, I would like to review fake eyelashes AKA falsies, that I bought from Daiso a while ago. That being said, I'm still relatively new to applying fake eyelashes, I have not ventured out as much in trying new brands, the only ones besides Daiso eyelashes that I have tried is the brand Eyelure, which Target sells.

For the price that I got the eyelashes for from Daiso, it is safe to say, for those who are new and want to play or practice around with the lashes, Daiso would be your store to go to, this way, you won't be splurging or wasting that much of your money. It has various selections for different styles of eyelashes and a lot of choices of different 'brands' of eyelashes within the store.

Isn't the packaging adorable and girly? 

The pair of eyelashes that I picked up, did not have a specific brand name, it was simply called Eyelash, which is kind of boring if you ask me, but it does get points for packaging, since its cute and all.

From the selection, I chose this pair because I liked how the length of the lashes and its appeal looked more similar to an animated character, which I was going for. If you recall, during Halloween, I dressed up as Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers, and these eyelashes were the perfect fit, since it looked almost the same as Louise's.

However, by that time, I wasn't able to use the eyelashes, as I really sucked and wasn't use to putting them on. >=<

A closeup and more detailed picture.
By comparison to other styles of eyelashes, this pair does not have that many individual lashes, meaning your eyelashes will not look fuller. 

Also, unlike other false eyelashes, the band is not invisible, so it does not create a natural look. Instead the lashes has a black band, which can be blended in with eyeliner, if used, or if not, can be used as your eyeliner.  

Here are some example pictures with the lashes:

I'm already wearing eyeliner with the lashes, but with it, it creates the illusion of a thicker eyeliner look

Noticed how long the lashes extend.

While they don't give a natural look, they do their job, by creating longer lashes.

♚[Overall Thoughts]♚
The packaging was simple, but girly and cute.
❤❤❤♡♡
The comfort of the lashes, was not so great.
♡♡
The quality was average at best.
The price is great, very reasonable.
The overall rating for these lashes are:

For the price I paid for these lashes, I could not be happier, knowing that I bought it from Daiso, I know at least I did not spend a lot of money compare to buying name brand lashes. As well, the selection I was given to choose from was vast, so if you're picky with your lash styles, Daiso provides a number of different styles, from full, natural, long, etc. 

However, there were two things that do make me question and deter me if I should buy the exact lashes again. One reason is the comfort of the lashes. As I was wearing the lashes, part of the thick band poked out, which led to the band touching and poking my eyelid. The band was also thick, and not too flexible.

The second reason that made me question the pair of eyelashes is the quality of the lashes. While more higher-quality and expensive brands of lashes are softer and closer to natural hair, the Daiso lashes, quite obviously, were plastic. Another problem, was when, even though I carefully removed the lashes, the longer lashes had already split in half, making it look like split ends.


♛[[Recommendation]]♛
Would I recommend this pair of lashes?
Yes, I would, if you're looking and going for more of animated appearance or want your lashes to appear longer. 
 For the price you pay, you are getting a deal! 

In fact, in general, I would recommend beginners in buying false eyelashes from Daiso. You won't be spending a whole lot of money and you also have a wide range of different styles to choose from. For those who want play around and create new makeup looks, Daiso lashes are highly recommended as well. The lashes sold at the store are great for those who need more practice with the application of the eyelashes.Lastly, if you're looking for inexpensive lashes, Daiso is and should be your go-to store.

I would just note, to be weary of the quality and comfort, and don't expect too much of it, especially the quality. 

Thats going to be it for now, hopefully this review is somewhat insightful and thorough enough for you guys to decide whether or not to buy from Daiso ^-^
