Dariya Make-on Gel & Lip Treatment & Giveaway!

If you are checking Sasa or eBay frequently maybe you noticed those cute new mint/red products from Dariya? I certainly did and the uncommon color combo really looked oustanding in the sea of white and pink Japanese skincare so I picked up several products from this new line from Dariya.

I believe the line consists of 4 products so far, a mist, a makeup base gel, a lip balm and a hand & body emulsion. At least that´s the bunch I have seen so far.
As I mentioned above I really love the unusual combination of red and mint used for the packaging and the overall design is cute with a lace motif etc.

The Make-On Gel is a makeup base and for touching up makeup when it starts to look blotchy or uneven.

I only use it as a makeup base though and I really like it. It´s a smooth gel which moisturized but also dries down quickly so you don´t have to wait for the base to settle. I am sure it contains dimethicone as it has a slippery feel to it but it neither gives me pimples nor does it make my foundation pill so overall I really like this as a base.

This is not colored but is scented with a weird floral scent. Thank God it´s only a faint scent or I would really dislike it!

The 30g jar retails for 840 Yen, I got mine from Sasa for a bit below that.

The Lip Treatment contains Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen and and Vitamin E and is supposed to give your lips a more voluminous and glossy look, act as a treatment and as a lipstick base.

This is a slick clear product giving a glossy finish and making my lips soft instantly. It wears off rather quickly though so has to be reapplied frequently but still my lips stay soft even after the Lip Treatment is gone.

The drawback for me is the floral scent which really is yucky. It´s not so strong to make it unbearable but strong enough to irritate me.
Overall a good product and with good effect on my lips but not my favorite lip balm.

Available on Sasa for around US$6, I got 1 tube from Alphabeautyuk though.

Rating for the gel: 4/5
Lip Treatment: 3.5/5

Giveaway: 
Since Valentine´s day is approaching (well, the giveaway is too late for it haha) I am giving away one brand new and boxed tube of the Lip Treatment which I ordered on Sasa to one of my readers commenting on this review.

That's about the cutest lip balm packaging I've seen. :D

So, entering the giveaway!

25FLNDN said...

I'm very curious about what Hyaluronic Acid does in skincare. I've seen a lot of products that contain it, & I've heard it's great for your skin, but I just don't know what it does!

I think I might order the Sana cream & find out.

Cutie Fishball said...

Enter meeee!!!

I hope this time I will get some luck... but I am never lucky with lucky draws...

I think San-X's new character Sentimental Circus like like a hybrid between Sanrio's Sugar bunnies and Melody, don't you think so? And you are introducing this new bunny character becoz it's the Year of the Rabbit, isn't it??

I love rabbits tho! are you getting most of your cute japanese stationary online?

Aww, I really like the red and mint packaging too. It's cute and unique and I love the little bow/lace detail. The cutest stuff comes from overseas... US cosmetics brands really need to take a page from their book.

(P.S: Entering in the giveaway!)

Mallory said...

I love the packaging! It's so cute. I'm a sucker for cute packaging. I love/am addicted to lip treatments so that's kind of discouraging knowing that it have a weird floral smell. I'm with you on that one though. I'm not that biggest fan of floral smells, sadly.

Thank you for the reviews!

Ashley said...

I love the packaging! The color combination is my favorite.

madoka said...

Hi!~ Have recently stumbled upon your blog (actually, just yesterday) and I love the detailed reviews and the focus on Asian brands...I have always been looking for a blog like this one!~

I'm actually quite a newbie when it comes to everything skincare/make-up related but had the chance to get some drugstore products from Japan last year and I love them!~ Will be going there again soon so I was researching on the stuff I want to buy (hence, landing on this blog)

This lip balm and gel's package is just soo cute! I'm not at all familiar with the brand Dariya though (which giant is behind this one?)

Please enter me into the giveaway!~ Would be epic if I get it the first time I comment on this blog ahha

really cute packaging! i would love to try a new lip balm. speaking of lip treatment/balms, i bought the new Lavshuca l/s LE sets (the one w/ a l/s and a mini Perfect Gloss) and i think i'm in love with the gloss! i wasn't expecting to really care much for the gloss at all, i was more interested in the l/s itself, but i was shocked by the gloss. it goes on thick but it's not at all sticky, and really kept my lips soft and moisturized with a really natural shine (not a high gloss which looks sorta fake). and it lasts really long! i wasn't going to get both l/s LE sets, but because 1) i loved the l/s themselves as well and 2) i love the Perfect Gloss so much, that i bought the 02 Beige set as well.

:D

i also grabbed the new MM blushers in PK303 the LE shade. i was a little disappointed by how sheer it is though, i'll have to use a heavier hand tomorrow. maybe my brush is too soft too. but it's so cute! i also grabbed the new pencil liner in the red brown shade, as i use brown more than black. i hope it lasts really long! did the liner work for your bottom lashline too, or you only use it for your waterline/inner corner? when i swatched in store it seemed super soft, i hope it won't get all over my lashes x___x
