Swatches: Jewel EyeColor (D. Purple) from Daiso

You know, I really do prefer eyeshadow palettes than eyeshadow singles for many reasons.
It's usually cheaper to get them in palettes then customize your own single shadows.
Also, it's more portable and travel friendly.
It's also better for beginners to start from palettes (duos/trios/quads) as it compiles matching and coordinating colours together. ;)
The most important thing I look for in an eyeshadow is: price factor, pigmentation (including how vibrant the colours are & if they make your eyes pop/stand out), staying power, blendability.
Did I miss out anything?

Anyway, my point is this. I notice alot of beginners out there and for most of them, they usually focus and seem to be more interested in eyeshadows.
*my preference is still concealer and mascara btw and among all items, i can forgo eyeshadows the most. 
And I must say that, there are many eyeshadows out there that are expensive but offers hardly any pigmentation (so darn chalky) and barely even stays on your lids! Some of them, when you blend, it dissappears into chalk like colours (just like if you were to take a coloured chalk and draw it all over your eye)

That being said, I just wanna do some swatches posts so others can learn if the product will be to your liking or not.
I hope that these sort of posts could help readers to decide what to expect from their new eyeshadows.

Jewel EyeColor (D. Purple) from Daiso:

Looks familiar?
Yes, well I've reviewed one of the palette combination before.

Here are the swatches:

Only 5 swatches though the palette comes with 6 colours.
The white is similar to the one I've swatched in the blue palette.

Overall, I think that this palette is really not bad for RM 5.
It's pigmented (I think the blue one is more vibrant than this purple one), lasting power is there, and it's blendable.


My conclusion?
If you are looking for a blue eyeshadow palette, drop by Daiso and grab the blue one from this line.
Totally worth it!
As for purple, its not bad, but it just doesn't make my eye pop as much when I use the blue palette.
*i'm not bias towards colours, trust me. in fact, my favourite colour is purple :P
