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.

Beauty Tag from Angel

     Two weeks ago, Angela of Angelamhiere's Little Heaven tagged me in her post Beauty Tag from Erika. My apologies if it took me so long to share my beauty basics. I've been contemplating if I'll answer the questions straight-forward or will share what I really have since there's only few makeups on my stash. I love the simple/day/no makeup look that's why you'll seldom see me with eyeshadows even during events. So most that you'll see here are my HG's.  I will just give a brief details on each item or category. You can click on the captions below the photo to see my full review :D

BLUSH OR BRONZER 

     I'm a cheektint girl during my college years. I can't leave the house without staining my cheeks with this kind of blush. But as years passed by and with some reason (when my fave cheek tint from Mistine got discontinued) I just lost my passion for cheek tints. Two years ago I've tried to rekindle my love for cheek tints that's why I grabbed the opportunity when I bought this pre-loved tint from Benefit online. 

     My HG blush of the moment is Skinfood Rose Cheek Chalk in Rose Peach. I also have another blush and it's a mineral blush from Virginia Olsen. I haven't tried it though and will test it one of this day and see if I'll be fine with mineral blush on my cheeks.

LIPGLOSS OR LIPSTICK

     Since I'm a late makeup bloomer, my first love was lipgloss. I love how light and girly glosses can be. But when I started lurking here in the blogosphere, I discovered so many kinds of lipsticks and my eyes were mesmerized by the colors specially pink ones. These two babies are my current faves, actually they're three but my grandmother saw me sporting Rogue Deluxe in Just Peachy from SNOE and she really liked the color so I just gave it to here since I can buy that from Snoe anytime. Loving these cool toned pink lippies from MAC and N.Y.X

LIPBALM OR LIP BUTTER

     Lipbalm baby! Handy, moisturising and fun since almost all the flavors smells very nice and some can be delicious too :D My current fave: Carmex (who doesn't love Carmex?) and EOS- my first organic lipbalm. Cute shape eh?

MATTE OR SPARKLE EYESHADOWS

     If you're a long time reader of this blog, I presume you know that I rarely put eyeshadows. I can count the days where I colored my eyelids and it's not me who did the eyemakeup. These eyeshadows below came from giveaway prizes and Virginia Olsen Minerals Holiday Collection Launch loot bag. So I can't answer the question based on my fave but If I were to choose, I'd choose the sparkle one because I love the fantasy effect when I tried it on the eyes.

FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER

     Powder foundation and BB cream. I use bb creams as base and powder foundation to set the bb cream. I've tried so many bb creams before, most of them were sample sachets. Never got a full-sized one and the one I considered as full sized was a pre-loved one pa. The Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover is soooo love! I already hit the pan and will buy a refill this coming February. I'm glad that there's 4U2 dreamgirl Lovelight BB powder to save the day. This became the substitute of my favorite powder foundation when I was on a tight budget.

     GEL, CREAM, LIQUID OR PENCIL EYELINER

     I'm fine with liquid eyeliner but I always make a mistake on creating thin and thick lines because of my weird eyelids. I also like cream and gel liners because of the pigmentation it gives whenever I'm using it. But these two are my current faves. Virginia Olsen for a more dramatic look- can be used as an eyeshadow too while the San San Eyeliner Pen for days when I'm lazy putting makeup on my face.

BRUSHES, SPONGES OR FINGERS

     Since I'm using bb cream I use my fingers to apply it. I also use my fingers to apply the Skinfood Rose Cheek Chalk or the sponge that comes with it. This landmark kabuki brush for my powder foundation. Another brush from Landmark- Artist Studio for my eyeliner and Marrionaud duo brush for my eyebrows. This Virginia Olsen Minerals eyeshadow brush came from the loot that we took home after the Fantasy Holiday Collection launch. Still unused :(

PRODUCTS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

     And now my stash is getting bigger because two new products that I'm road-testing can be a HG material. The Tony Moly 7 Day Tattoo Eyebrow and Nichido Mineral Concealer Stick that I'm using as eyeliner for my waterlines. Will update you once I considered them my HG and will make a review soonest. I'm also road testing this bb cream from Skin79- it's the Oriental bb cream but I'm having a hard time using this.

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: 2017 UPDATE Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker Pore Cover in OC10

     Hi dearies! How's your weekend? I think I'm ready to say my raves and rant about this makeup that I got a month ago. I'm not using it every day because most of the time I stay at home. I only use bb cream when going outside, I just want light coverage with moisturizer and SPF on my face and that's what bb cream is supposed to be. So on special occasions and when I feel I want to look glam, I use to top off my bb cream with powder foundation.

     I want to share with you the powder foundations that I own before. I have used only two powder foundation and one pressed powder and that's Neutrogena Fine Fairness Powder, MAC Studio Fix Foundation Plus Powder and Garnier Light Visible Face Powder. I can say that MAC is my HG among the three. I never hit the pan of my studio fix and just got expired. Since I'm already a mom, money is very important for me. I need to save and budget the money that I get from my husband and buying high- end makeup is at the bottom of my list. But last December, my husband told me to buy the makeup that I'm lemming for a long time. This is the time when I convinced myself to buy this Majolica Majorca powder foundation after reading raves from blog and GT forums.

My New Baby + HG Under Eye Concealer and a facial wipes substitute

     Hi dearies! I'm still on a hang over mode after the holidays and my brother, mother-in-law and my birthday celebrations. I know there's a lot of catching up to do. So many items to review and post updates to be done. I just want to share to you what I bought myself before 2011 ends and my new found HG.

Garnier BB Under Eye Roll On and Purederm Make-Up Cleansing Tissues

     So far, I'm loving this new powder foundation and will road test it for a month so I can make a review. On the other hand, Garnier BB Under Eye Roll On is love! I can say it's my HG under eye concealer right now. 

     The Purederm facial wipes that I purchased before we left Manila also deserves a review here. I can't say that it can be a HG material but after 3 uses, it can be compared to my Hg facial wipes that is Neutrogena. 

     That's it for now, I need to lose all this holiday weight and stress so that I can get back right on track. Thanks for reading!

Good Times!~
