My thoughts about the Majolica Majorca Lash Expander mascara~

                      Majolica Majorca Lash Expander (brown) P795

     Mascara’s are essential must have’s in a woman’s make-up bag. I recently purchased the Majolica Majorca Lash Expander in brown out of curiosity. My thought’s about it? Not a rave, or rant but in between. For someone who has short lashes, I’ve yet to find a mascara that REALLY lengthens the lashes. So as described, lash expander? it only gave me a slight extension. I also find the fibers unusual for a mascara, the fibers help lengthen the lashes I suppose.

     What makes their wand unique is that there’s a comb for the lower lash which is easy to apply.Which I like, maybe results would look better had I only bought the shade in black. The brown one appears too light.

   There are a lot of reviews already, so I won’t babble on this too much. These are my thoughts about it. Do I love it? not really, there are a lot of mascara products out there that I’ve yet to try. But points go to the packaging and wand invention.

     OT (off topic): that scratch on my hand? Tabby is the culprit, I have a lot more scratches in my arms which is why I need to keep myself from hugging and playing with the kitty. And as usual, in most of my posts, I always include my spoiled kitty (either a picture or video) enjoy.

Beauty talk: Colossal mascara review

 

 

   When I saw the colossal at the hyphen I couldn’t resist and it was perfect timing too since I was about to buy the Magnum which is the Philippine version of the Colossal. Which I find weird though, why not just supply the Colossal here in the phil since there’s a market for it.

 

     Anyway, enough about my babbling and on to the review. Hyphen is selling it for P450 only. Oh and before I forget, if you  follow Lady E, you get to have a 10% discount for like FOREVER~ that’s how generous she is.

Kitty says….

The bristles are quite fat, and when applying it you have to be careful not to smudge your eye area, same goes for applying the lower lashes. I find the formula really light. Though my lashes does not look way close to their adverstisment, I have thin and short lashes just so you know. Results may vary.

   PROS:

  • light weight formula
  • LOVE-LOVE the volume it gives me
  • perfect for everyday
  • gives me a natural curled lashes look

   CONS:

  • not available locally
  • thick bristles

 

    Well, I so love the colossal because of the volume, at least it’s promise of giving you volume stays true. It makes my lashes look longer. I took a picture as soon as I got to work, I didn’t retouch or rather re-curled my lashes. Only applied 1 coat. My only caveat about it, is the bristles, it’s too big that it’s hard to reach the small or thin lashes, specially in the lower lashes. Other than that, I simply love it!

     I believe HYPHEN still has some stocks of the Colossal, if interested do order.

 

   Till then!

Thank you Lady Mitchelli – I iz happy

 

    I finally got my prize from Lady Mitchelli’s birthday giveaway, which we are all familiar of so I won’t be making a review about it anymore. But I am really happy to have a limited edition Hello Kitty Maybelline cat volum mascara, which was on sale sometime in August.

     Here’s a comparison of both my old cat volum mascara and Shu curler:

DSCN0153          The old one is the one at the back I think, didn’t use flash since it would be too bright and time consuming since it was supposed to be my sleep time already when I took this picture.

    For now the cat volum is my favorite mascara, but I’m actually interested in buying the Magnum volume mascara, my friend Lady E swears by it, so Imma try it too. XD

 

    Again, huge thanks to Lady Mitchelli for her birthday giveaway! ^_^

 

Till then!
