majolica majorca!

Been raving (secretly) about this, MAJOLICA MAJORCA is here in manila (ewan ko kung kelan pa, heard from someone's blog meron daw silang boutique sa SM makati) I bought mine in SM north! yipeee! I've heard a lot from their mascaras, super LIKE!


mascara and lip pump
Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo (mascara)- P 795.00
Honey Pump Gloss -P 295.00
Small majolica majorca purse- FREEBIE

I 've tried the masacara in the counter, their are 2 kinds, the volume type and the lengthening type, I didnt like the applicator on the volume type (not a fan of the comb type applicator) , so I bought the lengthening one w/c has the brush applicator.I must say it really lengthens the lash, and it looks so naturale ^__^ this is my fave mascara to date <3 I love it talaga.


I also like the packaging steam punk-vintage-ish packaging <3

Majolica majorca is a sister company of Shisiedo.
