Favourite cosmetics brands - Majolica Majorca

Today I have for you another post about one of my favourite Asian beauty brands. The brand I want to talk about is Majolica Majorca from Japan, the drugstore section of Shiseido, available only in Asian countries like Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong.




The first thing you'll notice is the fabulous packaging!
Gold and black are the main colours but special edition items are even cuter!

Let's take a look at some of the products. I will start with their mascaras which in my opinion are top quality. They are some of the best I have ever used, with spectacular results! You might have read previous posts where I express my adoration for Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus (their top product if you ask me) but I actually own quite a few from their collection. They all have special brushes and work really well. You can see them all, along with brush shots below.


The white ones are primers. My favourite is the one in the back. It builds up your lashes, making them look longer. I have tried all of the mascaras above and I am very pleased with all of them. They all do what they promise.

Next up are the face products. The star product here (and my second favourite product from this brand) is the Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover compact (the black box). It's a translucent powder that blends with the colour of your skin and give a flawless end result. As you can see, I always have a refill available, as I use this powder almost daily (along with my beloved BB cream).

The red compact is the Special Edition All Night Compact. It is also a translucent powder with a hint of shimmer. Perfect for a special occasion or a night out. And finally the white tube is the Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Pore Cover. it is a face primer with SPF 20. I like it because it's light and it works well with my oily skin. It has a light shade but it blends well with most skin tones.

Next up is my small collection of eye products, some eyeliners and my trusted white eyeshadow (I use it mostly as a base).

A couple of special edition items that I picked up while in Hong Kong. A small Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes eyeshadow compact in lavender sugar and a Majolica Majorca Puff De Cheek blush in peach macaron. I love the kawaii sweets theme ^_^


Even though Majolica Majorca has a great range of nail colours I don't own many as I find them very sheer. I only have these two. The swatches are 4 coats without base or top coat yet as you can see they are both quite sheer. They are perfect for jelly sandwiches though!


Are you familiar with this brand dear readers? Would you try it? Any products that I haven't tried that you would recommend?

10 items I would repurchase tag

Hello everyone ^_^/

back in August the lovely Argyrousa tagged me with the 10 items I would repurchase tag. So here are the 10 beauty products I would repurchase if I ran out.




1. Etude House BB cream for Oily Skin. I have tried a lot of BB creams but this one is by far the best for my skin. It kills any breakout, has perfect coverage, yet feels light on the face and blends perfectly with my skin tone.
2. Skin 79 UV perfect BB Pact SPF 30. My favourite face product along with my BB cream. Gives my face a matte look and has SPF 30 to protect me from the harmful sunrays. It's always in my purse.
3. Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus mascara. The best mascara you can ever find. Majolica Majorca is the drugstore department of Shisheido and available only in Asia but if you ever come across this epic product, do not pass it by. Your lashes will be grateful!
4. Seche Vite top coat. Need I say more?
5. TonyMoly petite bunny gloss bar in cherry. I usually cannot take lip products as they bother me but I am loving this one. It hydrates my lips and gives them a small splash of colour too. Plus it has a lovely cherry scent. (for a chance to win one of these in neon yellow amongst other things, make sure you enter my Happy Halloween giveaway).
6. NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk. This is a new entry but I always find products like this very handy and this shade is perfect for every occasion.
7. LUSH Lemony Flutter cuticle butter. This is my third pack if that says anything.
8. L'Occitane precious fluid. I cannot go without this one. This bottle is almost over so I will need a new one soon.
9. Apivita Lavender & Honey shampoo. My favourite lavender smell can be on my hair too. A shampoo designed for sensitive scalp, it also makes my hair soft and shiny :)
10. And last but not least, another L'Occitane product, the infamous L'Occitane Shea Butter. There are many ways to use this, from hydrating your body to taking care of rough spots like feet. Highly recommended!

So what are the 10 products you would repurchase dear readers?

Shopping in Hong Kong

Hello everyone ^_^/

September has been such an exciting month, filled with interesting and fun experiences. For this post I will talk about one of my favourite subjects, shopping. Hong Kong is a great place for shopping as it's full of shops and shopping malls with a variety of products for every pocket. In this post I will show you my Hong Kong haul and share with you my favourite places to shop in this vibrant city.

I will start with my Hong Kong haul.


As Asian cosmetic brands are impossible to find in Greece, I started saving up as soon as I found out about the trip and made some lists to be able to get the things I wanted. I shopped only for cosmetics as my time was quite limited so there was no time to browse around.
On the top left you can see my nail polish haul. Apart from the Anna Sui goodies (I loved the nail set with two glitters, a nail strengthener and a nail polish remover), I got some Deborah Lippmanns that I had my eye on for quite some time and a few cheaper nail polishes from brands like Sasa and TonyMoly (I am so in love with this brand right now that I am planning on writing a post just for TonyMoly products).
My favourite out of all the things I got has got to be the Anna Sui blush (you can see it in the far right photo in the middle row). The roses are so pretty and I don't think I will ever use it as I don't want to ruin them. I've been wanting to get this for quite some time and when I saw it up close, I couldn't resist.
I also stocked up on facemasks and various other drugstore products. If there is anything you find interesting, let me know and I will write about it in more detail.

So where to go when one wants to get cosmetics in Hong Kong? There are so many stores and huge variety.
For more high end brands like Anna Sui, Shu Uemura, NARS and Jill Stuart you need to head to SOGO, the famous Japanese department store. There are a few of them around the city, including one in Causeway Bay and one inside the Langham Place shopping mall.

If you want cheaper brands like Majolica Majorca, Kate, Heroine Make and My Beauty Diary head to Sasa which is like a local Sephora (but better XD). They also have their own brand cosmetics which are really nice. You can find Sasa stores everywhere.
For Japanese brands you can visit the local branch of Daiso that is called Living Well at the moment. Everything in the store costs 12 HK dollars.
Also in Harbour City you can find standalone beauty booths. Brands include Lush, Tony Moly, Laka and Dermalogica to name a few.

Have you ever been to Hong Kong dear readers? What is your favourite destination for shopping?
