Mascara Review: MAJOLICA MAJORCA LASH KING

This is one of my long due posts (my apologies I have been busy for the past few months) and I am glad I was able to write a review about it! Yay!

MAJOLICA MAJORCA is a Japanese brand that is a sister company of SHISEIDO. They offer a range of cosmetics and right now I am about to give my review for this raved mascara. *_*

They have variety of mascaras and unfortunately I was not able to purchase their best selling Lash Expander variant (it was out of stock that time). But I happen to stumble on the other variant which is claimed to be also one of their best selling...presenting MAJOLICA MAJORCA LASH KING:

It's SRP is Php 795.00 available at SM Department stores:

It comes with a decent and nice packaging: 

This is how the mascara brush looks like:

As you can see, it has a bit of fibers and fine brushes to create great looking lashes!

This is how my lashes looks like without mascara (I just used FANNY SERRANO EYELASH CURLER here):

Now its time to put it on a test!

As you notice, I intentionally make my lashes a bit segmented by applying it in a zig-zag pattern because I only have few lashes (some of my lashes fall off because of lash extensions) to make it look thicker but you can always make it individual fine lashes ^_^

As you can see, the lashes are defined and becomes longer and thicker. Mind you, it lasts all-day, no smudges, no PANDA EYES, no clumping.

Other friends even gives me this compliment that I have been wearing lash extensions!  Teehee!

My kikay verdict? (1 to 10, 10 being the highest)

COST: 7 (it was way expensive than other mascaras and not everybody can afford to buy it especially if you are on a budget).


EFFECTIVENESS: 8 (It gives what you are paying for; it doesn't smudge; it gives curling effect; it thickens and lengthens my lashes)



STAYING POWER: 10 (It lasts all day; waterproof). 

I'm rating it 4.5 out of 5 total points. What I like about this product is that it doesn't smudge, no clumping, one to two coats is fair enough. But take note that IT WAS REALLY HARD TO REMOVE and you need to use the right make-up remover to be able to remove it with ease...or else you will end up ruining your own lashes.

In my case, I use POND's perfect care lemon cold cream:

But you can always use other oil-based make-up remover.

Here is the correct way to remove your waterproof mascara:

There are still other ways to remove it and you can look for a bunch of videos over the net:)

Will I purchase one again when I'm done with it?

The answer is DEFINITELY YES!

But I myself wanna try their bestselling LASH EXPANDER!

Mascara Review: SHAWILL CURLING MASCARA

 

I love having defined lashes for it accentuates my eyes.  This is the reason why I was addicted to eyelash extensions but frequent lash extensions makes my lashes fall out :(  So there comes a time that I have decided to rest for a while and stick to mascaras.  

I am aware that using the wrong kind of mascaras adds insult to the injury (you know what I meant). Unless you were satisfied with those smudging and not waterproof mascaras, you'll end up having dark patches/stains over the eyelids and under the eyes, or every time that you are sweating, you'll be mistakenly identified as KUNG-FU PANDA. *sigh*

Good thing I frequently search the net and read forums, and there's one product that girls have been raving for it's cheap but quality mascara...I am talking about this:

It costs less than Php 200.00.

I have been seeing it for a couple of times, particularly at WATSONS. It was MADE in CHINA.  But I have this mentality before that you should pay the price to be able to get the best (or tolerable if not the best) quality.  But it doesn't apply all the time.

Surprisingly, it claims the following:

They claim that you'll have thicker and longer, waterproof lashes when applied

I tried it for myself:

 

It was amazing that it makes my lashes longer!  Just don't overdo it for you might end up creating lumps on your lashes.  Two coats is enough for a glamorous touch up ^_^

The mascara brush looks like this:

The mascara brush is perfect for creating longer and thicker lashes (there are fibers)

Not bad for its price. 

My kikay verdict? (1 to 10, 10 being the highest)

COST: 10 (it was way cheaper than those high-end mascaras)

EFFECTIVENESS: 8 (Despite of its lower cost, it doesn't compromise the quality it gives; it doesn't smudge; it gives curling effect; it thickens and lengthens my lashes)

STAYING POWER: 9 (It lasts all day; waterproof) but my lashes fall down its curls after a few hours of wearing it (but you can always give a single coat of a better mascara over this one). 

I'm rating it 4.0 out of 5 total points. What I like about this product is that even if it is waterproof, it doesn't give me a hard time removing it compared to other waterproof mascaras. Amazing.

Will I purchase one again when I'm done with it?

The answer is YES!

Try it for yourself and let me know your reviews.
