ProsNo excess powder and stays put eyeshadow
Application: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Longevity: ⭐️⭐️
Color payoff: ⭐️⭐️
Reason for purchase:
I was browsing Daiso and saw this new collab with Merzy that's been trending lately. I thought the pink and salmon shades would be safe bets, so I picked up the colors I'd use most often. Take a look and decide for yourself!
Design:
The packaging screams Daiso, but the product design itself is quite sleek. It has a red body with a black brush.
Color:
01 Clear Pink has a strawberry milk hue. It's a cool-toned shade with subtle white pearls.
02 Soft Salmon has a salmon color with gold pearls.
Overall, the pearlescent finish can make eyes look a bit puffy when used alone as eyeshadow. It might come across as slightly dated.
Compared to Too Cool For School, these shades are definitely brighter with more noticeable shimmer.
Features:
It applies smoothly without settling into eye wrinkles.
The brush at the end is thick and rough. I don't recommend using it on eyes or skin as it might remove makeup.
Color on eyes:
01 Clear Pink goes on as a strawberry milk shade with subtle white pearls.
02 Soft Salmon appears as a salmon color with fine gold shimmer.
Both have fine pearls and good adherence, allowing for precise application. The colors match the website swatches closely.
Longevity:
Not bad, but while it stays put where applied, it does fade on the eyelid crease.
Unique selling point:
True-to-pan color that adheres well

ConsUnfortunately, the colors can make eyes look puffy and have limited versatility.
