Daiso Volume Mascara


I was browsing through the beauty aisles in Daiso recently and this mascara caught my eye. I've been contemplating on whether to purchase it or not for quite a while now. I'm always worried that cheap beauty products may mean dodgy quality. My past experiences with some Daiso beauty products (an eyeshadow quad and cream blusher) have not been too great.

However, curiosity got the better of me (the cute pink packaging with polka dots on it made it too difficult for me to pass it up) and I decided to give it a go. My online research for reviews on this product revealed people who love it. Besides, I figured that if it turned out to be a dud, I could just toss it out.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much but guess what I discovered --- it's actually quite a good product and I love it! I've since used it for quite a number of times.

This product is manufactured in Korea. There are five mascaras in this line: Base Coat, Volume, Long Lash (lengthening), Long and Curl, and Top Coat. I chose to try out the Volume.

For RM5, it is certainly a great find especially when compared to Maybelline's mascaras that retail for more than RM30. It will certainly make tossing it out at the three month mark (for hygienic reasons) a lot easier since it is easily replaceable at that price. It doesn't sting my eye and I like it that it is not waterproof which makes it easier to remove than waterproof mascaras.
