I honestly thought I’d only ever finish up anything or have any empties to share once every 2 months. It turns out that in recent times, I’m finishing up or tossing stuff as I go along so we actually have empties for July and now August!
This month’s empties have been a bit of a wallet buster and in the process I’ve also gotten rid of some mascara, one of which has served me well and the others of which I wasn’t terribly crazy about. Here’s a quick run down of them.
Everytime the subject of mascara comes up on the blog, there will be no shortage of readers who suggest their faves from Majolica Majorca. Majolica Majorca, a very popular Japanese drugstore brand from cosmetics giant Shiseido is very well known for their mascara. They are supposed to perform well, hold up a curl, stay on through a hurricane and are notoriously hard to remove. You may however, have noticed a lack of coverage of the products on my blog.
The primary reason is because I can’t use a lot of their makeup, in particular their eye makeup. The shadows and all the various mascaras make my lids feel heavy and irritated. Once I worked it out, I stopped looking at the brand. Why look at something that will only irritate you eh?
But recently, I had the opportunity to try the then newly launched Majolica Majorca Lash King mascara. Ok its been available since April but I have a good reason for coming in only 2 months later with a review. Well, I think its a good reason 😛
I picked this one up from Majolica Majorca one day a few months ago simply because I had no idea what it was. Eyes Reset Gel that “Fulfills All Your Wishes”. What on earth do you think it is?
It turns out that this mysterious resetting gel that fulfills wishes like a genie, is actually an eye makeup remover. Could have fooled me! I thought I could just rub the tube and have a genie appear and “fulfill all my wishes” 😛
So as I said, it turns out this is an eye makeup remover, or specifically, a mascara remover. Majolica Majorca mascara are notoriously hard to remove (I tried one of the mascara but had no problems with removal using regular cleansing oil) and I guess with the reputation it gained for having mascara that holds fast to lashes, they needed to create a product to remove it.
Before I show you the Majolica Majorca goodies you can win in the giveaway, here’s some pictures of the Majolook Trick On eyeshadow palettes. I had the previous Majolook palette with the cream eyeshadow base which was nice but oh! nothing beats the Trick On palettes!
If only I weren’t allergic to these, I’d buy them all! 😛 Ok, maybe not all, but the green one for sure. I managed to swatch it and the colours are so soft and fine and shimmery I was tempted to get a palette anyway. Fortunately sanity prevailed 😛Continue Reading
