Spending just around $20, I was able to pick up a variety of beauty products that performed way above expectations. One standout was the Kiyora eyebrow powder, which has a neutral tone perfect for many skin types and lasts all day without fading. Plus, the mascara with a comb attachment not only holds curls well but also gives a natural finish—it's perfect for daily wear without clumping. For those who travel or like to do their makeup on the go, Daiso's stackable travel brushes are a lifesaver. They fit easily into any purse or travel bag without taking up much space. I also tried their liquid eyeshadow glitter, which is very pretty but tends to smudge if not set properly—great if you like a subtle natural eyeliner look instead of intense shine. These affordable finds prove that budget-friendly makeup doesn’t have to compromise on quality. If you're hesitant about trying Daiso makeup, I highly recommend starting with smaller items like their eyeshadow sticks and brushes. They deliver excellent pigmentation and usability at a fraction of the cost of many high-end brands. Overall, this haul was such a pleasant surprise that I’m definitely planning a part 2 soon to explore more products. Daiso makeup offers a wonderful way to experiment with Japanese and Korean beauty trends without breaking the bank.
