All the Vanity Blog :: Beauty, Fashion & Shopping

Time for the Holy Week holidays here in Manila! This also means that I have more time trying out beauty products and makeup for an up-close review.

I must say that I do not have an existing talent in eye lining. It’s a fact of life that I’ve long accepted, until then.

Of course, like any other girl who wants to wield a wand in order to rim her eyes and hence make ‘em prettier and more pronounced, I’ve been trying so hard perfecting the art of eye lining (although most of the time, to no avail!).

That’s why, I’m really grateful that Majolica Majorca gave me a wonderful gift last time. Part of which is the Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner.

I feel a bit intimidated about liquid eyeliners, just coz they’re  harder to control than the pencil ones, in my experience. Sometimes I get so impatient about letting it sit for a few minutes in order to dry up. Hence, it ends up getting smudged off, ruining my whole eye makeup. Most of the time, my hands are shaky so I couldn’t pull off a one quick sweep. I just have to try my best to make a slow steady sweep in order to neatly line my peepers.

Well, it doesn’t really hurt to try using a liquid eyeliner for starters (like me literally ). So, I tried lining my rims using Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner in BL603.  The colour is pretty close to navy blue with a little lustre.

What I love about this liquid eye liner is that it’s perfect for beginners like me. The pointed tip makes it way easier to thinly and evenly line my eyes. Also, it dries fast, and is smudge-proof so it doesn’t run down my face even when I sweat.

The turn dial system is kinda tricky though. I guess, it’s safe to turn it just once and shake the product downwards in order to let the right amount of makeup out. I tried turning it twice consecutively thinking that it wasn’t enough, yet it let out way too much makeup, much to my surprise.

So, here’s one of my feeble attempts in eye lining. I hope you like it. I’m still practicing!

Sorry for the spots and freckles! I was in my powder-less self.

Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner is available in 7 colours. Price is at Php 695. Visit Majolica Majorca’s counters in SM Manila, SM Makati, SM North Edsa and SM Megamall. They’ll be giving away 20 FREE Honey Pump Lip Gloss this Easter weekend!

I just learned from last week that Majolica Majorca, a Japanese cosmetics brand under Shiseido, has just landed the local shores. I love Shiseido, but I honestly haven’t tried anything from Majolica Majorca yet. Luxasia was generous enough to give me a sneak peek on what’s in store with these goodies (thankyouverymuch!). I’m very excited to try them out soon!

Who doesn’t love a pretty packaging? This purple box is love at first sight.

The ornate design reminds me of Etude House and Urban Decay.

Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara – Php 795. This one’s quite interesting.

Majolook Trick On Eyeshadow Quad – Php 795. I don’t have a talent in eyeshadow application, as I rarely put on makeup these days. But, thank God for the instructions inside the catalog. I’m gonna give it a try.

Rouge Majex – Php 495

Perfect Automatic Liner – Php 695

Artistic Nails Jewel – Php 225

Good news is that prices are below Php 1000, which won’t burn a hole in your pocket. You can find them at SM Department Stores and Watson’s. Visit www.majolica-majorca.com for more info. I’ll try to post the catalog as soon as I can work with the uploading.

Here’s my entry to Beautynomics’ Minute Maid Contest:

I would have thought of doing something creative, like getting myself a snapshot in my quirkiest pose donning the quirkiest makeup. But, since fresh is the theme, I’ve chosen this look  I pulled off at a Christmas Party.
