Super Affordable Makeup Brand - KleanColor!

Hi Everyone!

I'm going to be talking about the brand KleanColor today! It's a super affordable makeup brand with surprisingly good quality items! I'll be talking about the products that I've tried from the line with pictures, swatches and mini-reviews!

I buy all of my KleanColor makeup from Daiso Japan, a Japanese dollar store, where all items are $1.50.

*All of my products were bought for $1.50 at Daiso, but their retail prices on the website are more expensive. Try to see if you have a Daiso near you or another store that may sell this brand for a cheaper price.

*This is a very lengthy and picture heavy post.

KleanColor Make Me Blush Palette - Stage Beauty - $1.50

This is the KleanColor Make Me Blush Palette in Stage Beauty. It's a blush palette with 6 shades, one is a highlight shade, and one of them could be used as a bronzer, but I just use it as a blush anyways. I am in love with this Palette.

The pans are all equal size, and I think the colors are gorgeous.  None of the colors are very similar to one another, so this palette provides a wide range of blush colors. 

The top left is a yellow-toned champagne color that I use as a highlight on my nose bridge and at the tops of my cheekbones. 

The top middle shade is a bright vibrant hot pink that gives a nice pop to the cheeks. 

The top right is a rosy pink that can be used with any look. 

The bottom left is a very shimmery brown-toned rosy color. 

The bottom middle shade is similar to the bottom left but it is more red toned. 

The bottom right shade is a light-medium bronzer shade that gives a nice bronzed look to the face.

These blushes are extremely pigmented. It's almost amazing how pigmented each color is. Not a single dud in this palette. With just one light tap of the brush, you have enough product to apply a natural color to one cheek. I am in love with this palette, and it's the only thing I reach for to bring color to my cheeks. It's definitely travel friendly, since I can basically highlight, bronze, and add color to my face with just one palette. It's definitely a steal at $1.50, and I'd still purchase it at it's retail price of $3.99, but of course, who doesn't want to get it cheaper? I'm definitely going to be picking up the other shade soon, and I'll do a comparison blog or just a plain review post on it! I 150% recommend this palette, and I'll definitely repurchase it if I ever need to, I feel like this will last me forever!

KleanColor X-Infinity Volume Mascara - $1.50

This is the KleanColor X-Infinity Volume Mascara. This retails for $1.99 on the website, so if Daiso ever stops carrying it I'll be able to pick it up at a similar price! Anyways, aside from the super affordable price, I am loving this mascara. It's my new favorite! I really  believe that it thickens my lashes well and gives them length. I have very sparse, short lashes, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to my eyelashes. However, this does have a strong perfumed scent, but it does not bother me. And once you apply it, you can't smell it anymore. So keep that in mind if you're sensitive to scents! 

KleanColor X-Infinity Mascara - Back

Another thing I love about this mascara is how it has a mirror on the back of it! It's very convenient, when I need to put on some mascara on the go, or I can just pop it in my purse and pull it out to check my makeup, or even my teeth! The slim packaging of this mascara is what got my attention with this mascara, and it's super convenient to have such a thin mascara, you can basically just slip it in your pocket!

KleanColor X-Infinity Mascara - Wand

What's probably my favorite thing about this mascara is the wand. It's SMALL, which you can rarely find nowadays in mascaras. It's a typical bristle wand, but it's still able to separate my lashes and give it definition. This mascara thickens my lashes, adds some volume, and some length. It can be applied to get a natural look, or built up for a more dramatic look. I usually just apply a few coats until I get my desired look. You can definitely build up this mascara with multiple coats, but don't let it dry between coats or it may become clumpy. This mascara does not clump at all, as long as there is no dry time between coats. Also, the small brush helps to get right at the bottom of your lashline so you can make sure you coat each and every lash from root to tip. I have never experienced any smudging or flaking from this mascara at all. All in all, this is my new favorite mascara and I will repurchase it again and again and again. 

KleanColor Neutral Zone Palette - Born With It - $1.50

This is the KleanColor Neutral Zone Palette in Born With It. This is probably my new favorite neutral palette. It has 11 shimmery shades and 10 matte shades, all in very wearable neutral colors. I believe that these colors are a bit more warm-toned, with a lot of browns and olive colors. The colors are so surprisingly pigmented, but the thing with these shadows are that they're almost like a pressed pigment, so it's best to apply the colors using your fingers, which I actually prefer, because you can really pack on the color.

This palette is amazing. They give you a great range of colors, from light shimmery browbone shades to deep dark blacks and grays. There are champagne colors, more orange toned colors. grays, browns, even a pink and a gorgeous blue-purple shade - My favorite from the palette. These colors are gorgeous. 

There are two sets of colors, 11 rectangular shaped shimmery eyeshadows, which do have glitter in them, as well as 10 circular shaped matte eyeshadows, which do contain glitter, but it is not noticeable when applied to the eye. 

The only issue I have with this palette is that the matte shadows are very difficult to access. Meaning, it's really hard to get some eyeshadow on a brush or your finger because of how small the pans are. I tend to use my pinky to get some product and apply it where I want it.

As you guys can see, these are all of the shimmery shades in the palette. They are so insanely pigmented, and they can be used to create tons of different looks. This is definitely my new go-to palette. My favorite thing to do is to mix the shimmer and the matte. I like to apply a light shimmery color in the inner corner, a medium-toned shimmery color all over the lid, add definition with a darker shimmery color, then blend a matter color into the crease, and finally use a matte cream-color as a browbone highlight.

Surprisingly, these matte shadows are almost all quite pigmented, except for the very last black matte color. The very first shade at the top is a cream shade, which is very pigmented, it just doesn't show up on my skin! I love the matte berry shade that they provide, it's gorgeous. The matte shades are basically bone shades, cream shades, and various shades of brown and a gray/black. My only issue with these is the difficulty it is to pick up product with the tiny eyeshadow size. They're about the size of a dime, maybe a bit smaller.

This retails for $6.99 on the website, which is much more pricey than the $1.50 that I got it for, but I think that I would still pick it up at that price, because of how many colors it has, the mix of matte and shimmers, the fantastic pigmentation and the longevity of the shadows. Definitely worth it for $6.99, but it's a steal at $1.50!  

All in all, I love this palette, and it's definitely my go-to palette. I'd definitely recommend it. The pigmentation is spot on, the longevity is great, but I would recommend applying a primer just to help minimize fall out and to extend the longevity of the shadows. My only issues with it are the possible fall out you can get from the shimmery shadows, and the small size of the matte colors. Please note, the shimmery colors are VERY shimmery and glittery. 

KleanColor Morning Confession Eye Roll-on Concealer

Last but not least, this is the KleanColor Morning Confession Roll-on Concealer, which is a concealer with a eye-roller that is targeted for covering up dark circles and the under eye area. I love the concept of having this eye roller, which is generally seen on eye serums for "de-puffing" the eyes. I use this whenever I want to cover up discoloration underneath my eyes. This concealer comes in 6 shades, with one shade that is dark enough for deeper skin tones. I have the shade 03 Natural, which to me, comes off with a very slight pinky salmony tone.

Eye-roller applicator

This is the applicator of the concealer, and when you put it on, it feels very cooling underneath your eyes. Basically you just roll the applicator underneath the eye a few times and the roller dispenses the product as it "de-puffs" your eyes. I don't have terrible dark circles or anything, but sometimes I do have some discoloration, and I like to brighten my under eyes just to make myself look more awake in the morning. I'll apply it in a triangular shape underneath the eye, and then blend it in with my fingers. It has a slightly tacky finish, has about medium coverage, but it is buildable. it has never appeared cakey, even when applied in several layers. Since I do not care for the tacky finish, I use my Ecotools mini face brush and apply a little bit of Rimmel's Stay Matte powder to set the concealer.

This is a swatch of the color, and if you look closely, it has a very slight salmony undertone, which helps to cancel out the blue-tones in dark circles. 

I love this concealer, and it retails for $1.99 on the website, which is not a far stretch from $1.50, so if Daiso ever stops carrying it, I'll be able to order it on the website. I love that it gives you decent coverage without appearing cakey, even after being set with powder. It doesn't set into fine lines and it has a very natural finish. I'd repurchase it again and again and again, and I love the concept of the eye-roller as the applicator, definitely helps with de-puffing the eyes. 

All in all, I love all the products from the KleanColor brand, and I highly recommend you check them out, especially if you have a Daiso nearby you that carries these products! Their nail polishes are also great! It's a really great affordable brand with great quality products. I can't wait to try out more from their line, and I'll keep you all updated on any new products I might get!
