A $2 blush that loves you long time.

As is with 90% of the things that I buy, this one was as a result of Justine egging me on. I was innocently trying to convince her to try a $6.50 BB Cream we found at YokoYaya (a local Japanese dollar shop which sells products made for Daiso) when she turned around and said she'll buy a $2 blush if I buy one.
See, it's all her fault.
Ellefar, is a made in Taiwan brand which I believe is available exclusively at Daiso shops. Other than blushes, I've also seen their face powders, mascaras, and eyeliners at Daiso. I saw only 2 different colours of MultiCheek, a pink and a beige. Justine got the pink (of course) and I got the beige.

The packaging is typical of Japanese drugstore brands; a clear plastic compact complete with a useless brush which I won't even bother trying.

While the plastic tray is really blah, I'm really impressed with the 3D embossing on the surface of the blush.

FOTD using MultiCheek Beige:

"Beige" is a misleading name, as the blush actually applies as a gorgeous peachy coral glow that is very reminiscent of NARS Orgasm. Pigmentation is amazing and I had to be rather careful with my application to avoid looking like a baboon bum. Unlike both the Kanebo and Canmake blushes, the MultiCheek blush is amazingly well pressed and kicks up no "dust" during use. Lasting time is around 6-8hrs.

One more cam whore!

I am completely flabbergasted by the amazingly quality of this blush. I really can't believe that they can produce such a finely milled and pigmented blush for $2. I think everyone within the vicinity of a Daiso should go and buy every single colour they can find RIGHT NOW!
