Product Review: Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you a quick and short review of my new favorite mascara from Majolica Majorca. This brand is close to my heart because it's under the Shiseido Company- one of my favorite cosmetic brands from Japan. Majolica Majorca is a cult fave because of its princessy packaging and cost-effective products. I've heard a lot of positive reviews on Majolica Majorca Lash King mascara years ago but I wasn't able to try it immediately because of the price tag.

     So when the opportunity came, I bought several products from Majolica Majorca last November to try. I also bought a refill of my all-time favorite face powder- Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover Powder Founder that I truly love to bits! Anyhoo, here's my review of Majolica Majorca Lash King mascara. Scroll down for more information about the product.

Product Review: Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Launch #2XBeautiful

     Hi dearies! I want to ask something, are you the type who will buy cosmetics because of the price? or because it's multipurpose? I presume you will answer both, but of course we also need to consider the price if we want something that is 2-in-1. Today's modern woman is always armed with two things: can be class and sophisticated at the same time, can be smart and sensible, and have the right choices in life because taking care of herself is the most important thing, do you agree?

      Gone are the days that we only settle for one thing or wants to achieve one goal. If we can do both or achieve twice, why not right? So when it comes to taking good care of our self, we want it 2X! Look good and feel good :) That's why Céleteque Dermo, the trusted brand for cutting-edge skincare technology launched a new set of products that's a total breakthrough. Now, the brand is taking it up a notch higher with another pioneering Dermo breakthrough with its new makeup line that fuses cosmetics with skincare: Céleteque DermoCosmetics.

For exceptional events or when I have additional time I swing to the Real Lasting Eyeliner, which has taken all trepidation of fluid liner out of me. For a more natural look I utilize the smaller scale tip pen to draw the finest lines; when I need more dramatization or a cat's eye the normal Real Lasting Eyeliner is my magic wand!

     Going in the same line, the people of China around 1000 years back coloured their nails with something that is a melange of egg, gum, gum Arabic, gelatine and beeswax. Guess what we call them today? They are the stunning, glossy and colourful nail polish. 

     Further down the timeline, Japanese used rice powder to waxen their faces. Today, you call that loose powder.

Product Review: Revlon Bold Lacquer Waterproof Length and Volume Mascara

     Because I have thin and sparse lashes, I'm always on the look  for an affordable and stay-true-to-its-promise mascara. I've tried a couple of mascaras before and only a few exceeded my expectations. It's hard to find a perfect mascara because sometimes the name can be misleading.

    Lengthening, volumizing, false lashes effect, and so on and so forth sound nice right? But I'm not that 100% sure if those I mentioned above will really be seen in my almost none existent lashes. Revlon Philippines sent me one of their mascara and it was released last September this year. Revlon Bold Lacquer by Grow Luscious Length and Volume mascara looks promising, who doesn't want luscious lashes right? Can this be a new addition to my list of HG mascaras? Click CONTINUE READING to know more about the product.

Product Review: Essence All About Curl + Volume Mascara

     Hello there! Here's another review of the product that I won last year from Essence's Facebook like and share promo. It's my 4th mascara to date. If you're a long time reader of this blog I'm sure you've seen my sparse, thin and not-so existent lashes. But this dilemma came to an end when I applied Sophia Eyelash Enhancer religiously and saw my lashes became fuller and longer. Since I only used the product for two months, the growth of my lashes became stagnant. I'm not disappointed or sad since this effects was disclose so I'm expecting really expecting that but lo and behold my lashes are still longer than the original length and based on the photos below I can say that there's still a bit of thickness on the strands.

     So going back to my review, this product aims to provide curl and volume at the same time hence the name curl + volume mascara. I have high hopes on this mascara because the first product that I've tried from the same brand showed good results. I already made a review of the Essence Eyeliner here. But as I use the product, I noticed that my hopes are falling. I didn't expect it to fail on the claim of curl and volume. Wanna know if the product is a yay or a nay? Click CONTINUE READING to find out!

Essence All About Curl + Volume Mascara

Product Review: AVON superSHOCKMAX Mascara

     I'm super excited to share this review! I got this product from my sister-in-law again out of curiosity. AVON is one of the local brand that I find cost effective because their products stays true to it's promise. I'm not expecting too much from AVON when it comes to makeup because most of the reviews that I read gave mix opinions. But whenever I see brochures and flyers in my sister-in-law's room, I get excited because they always offer new line of products not only for women but also for men and children. I can say that AVON has gone through a lot in discovering and bringing Filipina women modern innovations in skin care and cosmetics. So when I saw this product being endorsed by Angel Locsin, I got intrigued because this mascara can make the lashes 12x more of the volume. 

     I have a confession to make, I envy ze hubby and my son because they have luscious and thick lashes. I know that false lash effect can be achieved by using falsies and by trying high end brands but splurging on mascara is a no-no for me. Most mascaras have only 3 months shelf life and I usually stay at home so if I buy one it will just expire or dry up. I super love Maybelline Full N' Soft Mascara but it's not available here and it's pricier than this so now I have a new love! Thank goodness there's AVON, my dream of having vavavoom lashes just came true :)

three coats, see the shadow of this falsies effect mascara on my under eye? It only shows that the mascara not only gave volumizing effect but lengthens my lashes too.

AVON superSHOCKMAX Mascara
and tadah~three coats!!!

What I like:

• The wand- it's longer and thicker than the usual and the bristles is different that I guess the reason it can reach those teeny weeny lashes from the outer and some from the inner corner of my eye. 
• The texture is like a smooth paste, not runny nor too thick.
• Affordable, less than 500 php and it has 10g of product compared to most mascaras in the market.
• Looks like I'm wearing falsies.
• Adds thickness, fullness and length to my lashes.
• My lashes feels soft and not brittle.
• Minor clumping for 4 coats or more.
• No stinging or irritation of my eye.
• Waterproof.
• Very easy to remove using an ordinary eye makeup remover. 
• No panda eyes and no shedding of lashes when removing the mascara.

What I don't like:

• Can weigh down the curls after three coats.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. My sister in law gave me this product for review and she said the sale price of this mascara is less than 300 pesos! Whoaa! I can't believe Avon offers great discounts and look at the performance. I'm super satisfied with the product and I highly recommend this mascara specially if you're on a budget.

What's in my Kikay Kit

     Hi dearies! How's everyone lately? It's been raining all day and night. I hope and I pray for our safety. Even though I'm rarely watching news about current events, I still feel there are families who suffers from the calamities bought by these typhoons and heavy rains. 
     Anyhoo, I noticed that I haven't posted anything about my recent makeup stash. The last one I think was the Eye Makeup Essential post. To tell you honestly, I rarely wear makeup these days. I feel more comfortable with my skin now and I think I really need to feel comfortable with it. Makeup only enhances my features and I don't want to wear makeup just because I want to hide my flaws. But there were times that I cannot control my breakouts. It's really hormonal and our humid weather also adds a factor to it. So when my skin is acting up, I feel uncomfortable with it. I feel the need to add a heavy duty concealer for pimple marks and a full coverage bb cream. I mentioned before that I'm a late bloomer when it comes to makeup and it really shows with my makeup stash. From the time that I started lurking in forums and here in blogosphere to read and compare reviews, these were the only thing that I purchased and accumulated. Most of the products here are my HG. 
     I only have one makeup/ kikay kit :D I don't bring this with me when I'm going to attend events or outside the house for some errands. This always sits in my closet and I'll just bring two things with me (lip balm and lip cream) and place it inside my bag.

Silver Pouch from Watson's

1. Unbranded retractable kabuki brush from Landmark

2. Majolica Majorca jeweling eye pencil- used once

3. Fanny Serrano eyelash curler

4. San San gel eyeliner in brown

5. Garnier Light BB Undereye Roll-On

6. Marrionaud eyeliner brush

7. Benefit The Porefessional pore minimizing primer- used once

8. L'Oreal BB max bb cream- used thrice

9. Covergirl Lashblast Fusion mascara

10. Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover powder foundation

11. Skinfood Rose Cheek Chalk- blush depends on my mood

12. E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit in Light

     My makeup must haves: BB cream and/or Powder Foundation+ Undereye concealer+Eyeliner+eyebrow powder+ mascara and I'm good to go. If I feel like I want to glam up my face, I'll add the blush and the jeweling eyeliner. For the lips, I just swipe some lip balm: Carmex, EOS or Human Heart Nature and/or my favorite N.Y.X Addis Ababa soft matte lip cream for a touch of color.

     Basically that's it loves. So what's inside your makeup kit? Share it away guys :D

  Good Times!~

Product Review: COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara- Black 865

     How's your weekend? I'm suffering from skin allergies lately hence the lack of post. I can't concentrate from writing because these rashes are very itchy. Up to now I'm still having discomforts during bed time even though I already popped a pill of anti-histamine. This medicine should make me more sleepy, drowsy or groggy but I think it's not working like that. By the way, I'm having my 100th Follower Giveaway so if you're into eye makeup, this is your chance to own an eye shadow palette that's also good for beginners. Speaking of eye makeup, here's another product review of mascara that I won from The Beauty Junkee's 3rd Anniversary Giveaway: Everyday Essential Loot.

     This is my second mascara to date and let's see how will it fare to my short-thin-sparse lashes. I already found my HG mascara- Maybelline Full N' Soft but it's not available here. Boo Boo! I have no choice but to look for another mascara and this came perfect on time. But I'm hesitant at first because the brush applicator is new to me. It's not like the traditional brush type. I really had a hard time using this, but practice makes perfect. I used this several times so now here's what LashBlast Fusion to me.

Bare and curled lashes

COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara- Black 865
With one coat, I didn't see any difference in this photo but IRL , this mascara adds length 

COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion Mascara- Black 865
With two coats, it weighed down my lashes. The volumizing effect is so-so.

What I like:

• I love the color of the packaging.   
• Well sealed, manufacturing date printed on the package.
• No clumping, flaking or smudging upon use.
• Easy to remove.
• Adds length to my short lashes.
• Good for day-to-day use mascara, it's not dramatic. 
• Contains more product compared to my Maybelline Full n' Soft mascara.

What I don't like:

• Not waterproof. 
• The packaging is a bit bulky for me.
• I had a hard time using the huge brush applicator.
• Weighs my lashes after 2 coats .
• The volumizing effect is so-so.
• I find the brush applicator tricky to use.

Will I repurchase? No, I want to try a dramatic mascara since I want to achieve the falsies lashes look.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 3/5 rating. I have a love-hate relationship with this product. The moment I saw this on my loot, I said to myself that this will replace my HG mascara but I'm wrong. My first impression failed. I find this a good day-to-day mascara that gives my lashes a nice natural look. I will not recommend you to buy this because there's a lot of drug store brands that does the job. There's a lot more brand to try like Maybelline, L'oreal, Etude House and if your willing to shell out, Majolica Majorca and those high end brand like Benefit is worth a try. I'm not ready to spend on a high- end brand mascara because I always stay at home and the shelf-life of most mascara is very short. I will only end up with expired and dried up mascara.

Good Times!~
