Daiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss Review Swatches

Daiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss (US $ 5.99) available from ebay.comDaiso Japan Heartring Lipgloss (2)I’ve always been hearing this huge buzz about Japanese cosmetic brands, which unfortunately we are don’t have access to in India.  Whilst travelling I came across this lip gloss at a Daiso store which sells everything at $ 2.  I ignored it for a while till my daughter thought it was pretty enough to pester me and get me to pick it up.  I finally caved and boy am I glad I did.

Daiso Japan Heartring Lipgloss (3)PackagingDaiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss comes in a large blister packaging with a wonderful flower type look on a cardboard base.  The gloss itself is in a plastic flip top case with a ring of flowers on the cover and transparent on the centre so you can see the heart shaped gloss on the inside.  Extremely appealing to the younger teen crowd!  Even I was a little taken in at the amount of thought that has gone into this.

When you flip open the lid, there is a deep pink heart surrounded by a frosty light pink ring – one word exquisite.

ShadeElegant Pink is the name of the shade. The heart at the centre looks a deep berry pink.  When applied it is almost magenta on my lips.  The bit of gloss surrounding the heart is frosty light pink and when applied is sheer and transparent with a little bit of shimmer.  Though the shimmer is far more visible in the pan than when applied.

PigmentationOne swipe is all you need to get complete coverage.  However, since you have to use your fingers or a brush, you may need a second swipe just to cover what is unevenly applied.  Daiso Japan Heartring Lipgloss (4)Texture and Formula – Daiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss actually looks and feels like a lip balm, a little bit heavy and not completely weightless. It goes on smooth and easy.  My lips felt exactly as they do after I apply a hydrating lip balm, well nourished and moisturized.

Staying PowerThis is the part that blew me away completely.  Daiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss lasted on me for over 4 hours with little wear.  The sheen wore off after that but my lips were nicely tinted with the same shade.  In this time I had a drink and dinner!

Overall Thoughts

I absolutely love these little treasures that you manage to find whilst enjoying a vacation.  I am kicking myself for not picking up more of these little beauties.  The only thing I dislike is dipping my fingers into something so pigmented.  I have to use a wipe to get it off my fingers completely.  Apart from that, Daiso Japan Heartring Lip Gloss is a little pretty box of wonderful lip gloss.
