Daiso Boxes to the Rescue!

Whoosh! *the image of Mighty Mouse pops into my head when I wrote the title for this blog post hee*

I'm not huge with nail polishes.  Well, I thought I wasn't.  Come on, my collection isn't that big.  I don't do my nails like every other day (truly, I salute them who does! I think they are really, really awesome) and I'm not that good when it comes to doing my nails.  So, it truly came as a surprise when I realised that my little box could no longer hold all my nails polishes *horror*

see the overflow.  They can't fit in anymore *frown*

I kinda forgot about it and I ended up just having nail polishes lying here and there for a few weeks after this photo was taken.  Then I find myself walking around One Utama one evening and saw Daiso.  Nope, still didn't register the need for a box.  I somehow could not resist popping into Daiso wherever they are because, aw.. they have so much goodies in there!  Heehee....

Anyway, as I was walking towards the payment counter, the variety of boxes and containers caught my eye.  I literally felt a lightbulb in my head lighted up as I remembered my nail polishes!  keke...

And so, I've settled for their  wide box No. 2.  It fits my nail polishes comfortably (right height for regular polishes) and its shape allows for easy storage.  For RM5, this is definitely a good buy =D

January 2011 Pan Out Session

Like I said earlier, I'm on a mission to finish!  Hehe... so here's some of the stuff that I've binned for the month of January 2011:

Daiso Cleansing Make Up Remover Sheet
Red Earth Perfect Liner
In2It Liquid Eye Liner
Red Earth Lip Gloss
Ianti Green Shimmer Eye Shadow
Sunplay SPF 130
Johnson's Body Care 24H Lasting Moisture Body Lotion (mini size)

Daiso Aloe Vera Facial Scrub - Simple, non-abrasive type of facial scrub.  Don't expect too much out of it. I think my natural mung bean powder paste I use as scrub works better than it.  

Loreal Total Repair Shampoo - A re-buy item for me.  My hair is quite sensitive, as is my skin.  If I use the wrong shampoo, I literally am shedding hair!  Utterly scary to see the amount of hair coming off when I use the wrong product.  With this, I don't, and that is enough to make me want to rebuy it.  Best part of it is, it doesn't trigger a bout of acne spree for my face. Hehe... so this is good.

As for total repair, I don't think it works as much as it claims.  But it does well to keep my hair clean and well maintained for a short while.

Will continue my binning habit for the coming months to make sure that I finish what I used.

So what have you binned thus far?

Hauled my Daiso Make Up Remover

As I mentioned a couple of post before this that I've finished up my cleansing sheet.  So last weekend when a friend of mine came for a visit from Singapore, we dropped by Daiso for a while, as I wanted to top up.  Guess what! I found the 239 Cleansing Sheet (I remember it by the colour of the box). Initially I took a couple of the pink coloured box (236 I think) and when I saw this one, I quickly put back the pink ones and grabbed all the remaining green boxes. There's only 3 left and poof, there it goes onto my hand.

These 3 boxes will last me about 3 months, so that's good buy, very economical given that it's RM5 per box.  I like it cause I don't use heavy make up and this works for me as a cleansing sheet prior to my wash off using my cleansing oil.  I guess that means I triple cleanse? Well, with this wipe, I feel it removes the outer layer of make up that's sitting on top of my skin whereas the cleansing oil helps to remove those left over in the pores. My cleanser helps to do a thorough wash all over =D

Finished! Daiso's Cleansing Make Up Remover Sheet

I 

I finished this two boxes of cleansing sheet in a span of 2 months.  I would have to say that these two are good purchases.  They are thick enough to allow me to work it on my face, twice the size of , and not harsh on the skin.  However, I don't use them to remove my eye make up because I do rub a fair bit to get rid of my eyeliner, so it can turned harsh.  

I got them for RM5 per box at Daiso, and I'll definitely go and restock when I have the chance.

Mind you, I do double cleanse as my regular routine.

Daiso Make Up Cleansing Wet Tissue

Another round of walking around Daiso can be harmful to my pocket, although the items are at RM5.  The number goes up rather quickly when you start picking a few things along the way.  It's those by the way, oh I think I need it that tends to hit me and before I knew it, I'm paying for them already.

Let me digress, ever since I purchased Biore's cleansing tissue, I find myself wanting to try others!  I know, it's rather weird right, it's as though a button was pressed in me to try to see if there are others.  Well, lo and behold, I saw this paper written stating best selling item and it's none other than Daiso's very own cleansing tissue.  

At RM5 for 30 pieces, I thought it would do no harm in giving it a try.  

What's more, the wrapper had it in English stating that it contains natural herbal extract.  What could be so wrong right?

Well, I'd definitely could never be so wrong ever!  Besides the fact that it is quite a big piece of cleansing wet tissue, I don't have a fair bit of good things to share...

For one, it's thin.  Literally, utterly, obscenely thin.  Look at the picture below and you will understand how thin it is.

Not only it is thin, the material is rather harsh to the skin.   It's ok if you wipe it once, but because it doesn't do too much of a decent job, I'd have to run it over my skin 2 to 3 times to ensure that it's clean.  When you do that, it felt harsher to the skin.  I guess over-rubbing it with harsh materials is definitely a no-no.  I'd only use it on days when I am only having my sunscreen and a layer of compact powder on my face.  So, you can guess how good a job it does eh.

This is definitely not a re-buy.

Daiso's Beeswax Lip Balm (Beeswax + Peach Fragrance)

I'm not a very consistent person when it comes to lipstick, lip balms and lip gloss.  I can do my eye make up and leave my lips bare naked.  That, I have to admit, is my regular look =p  However, the past few weeks my lips has been acting on and off; whereby it gets rather dry on days that the skin's peeling.  That really look quite miserable when I caught myself in the mirror.

So as I was browsing at Daiso after my session with my Chiropractor, I saw this little lip blam.  What attracted me was the Peach fragrance.  I'm a sucker for peach and I love to eat peach.  I definitely cannot eat this lip balm, but I thought it would be interesting.

It does look like any other lip balms around.

It states on the label that it's Made in Taiwan.  Somehow, I always think that stuff from Taiwan looks good and does work a fair bit for me.  One thing that made me laughed out loud when reading the label was this:

Warning: Stop using if lip affections develop after use.

Now, I thought one uses it to look good and for those who kisses others (ahem, family also can kiss the cheeks right!), it looks like this lip balm doesn't work for you? Haha, anyhow....

I like the fact that this lip balm does not have that clinical smell, as well as no overwhelming smell too.  It carries more of the vanilla smell and it's quite pleasant.  If you don't fancy vanilla smell, I don't think this is for you though.  That aside, the stick itself isn't those soft and wobbly ones.  I quite like that it glides on your lip quite well.  I don't have to worry about smacking it on my lips too hard and have it broke on me, nor do I have to worry that the stick is too hard to the point where I need to press this lip balm onto my lip.

It does leave a bit of a heavy feeling after putting on, but then again, because I am one who does not like to have anything on her lips, you can take it with a pinch of salt eh. 

Now, does it work to keep my lip from cracking further?

It does, but not as immediate as I wish it to be (need to learn that nothing happens in an instance, gotta be patient).  I usually apply it overnight if I could remember.  Else, it will be a dash of it before I dash out of the door.  Works on well and last me till lunch time and I don't exactly feel it on my lip.

With so many choices out there, I guess it'll be a while before I revisit it again.  But I do think at the price of RM5 for a lip balm of normal size, it does a fair and decent job without having to suffer through some odd smelling balms.  

Daiso' Lip Gloss No. 7

I'm now blogging at http://dailyfemme.blogspot.com.  Do drop by and visit :)

Oh! I found the lip gloss colour that I really want!!! Honestly, I have problems with finding the right shade of lip gloss/ stick because I don't really know what I want. All I know is that I want it to be as close to my lip colour as possible and that it would look as nude and as natural as possible.
And now, I found it! And it's cheap! Everyone knows that it's only RM5 per item in Daiso, and I never really thought that I would be able to find the colour that I want. What's more, it comes in the lip brush format, making application simple and easy.

What's more, I like the fact that it's recycable. I know, I know, everyone says, it won't make much of a difference right? Well, I would think that if one person does recycle, it does make a difference to our environment.

I think I shall scout for more things soon in Daiso. Too bad the Eyeliner Coat is sold out. Else, I would've bought it! I saw the eyebrow coat, but don't think I need it though.

More to come, more to come. Gosh, I've bought so many items and I've yet to actually write about them. Definitely need to spend more time testing them and writing about them already!!
