Majolica Majorca Fantastic Fantasy ♪ ♬ Chapter 38, Autumn 2013

Majolica Majorca's Autumn 2013 release, Chapter 38 "Fantastic Fantasy". The collection's theme takes inspiration from Alice's Tea Party (Alice in Wonderland), delivering various surprises in the cute but mildly poisonous world. A girl charmed by a world of dazzling surprises, who gets her wish of transformation fulfilled.

Except for the mascara, everything in the collection is limited edition, and features muted/vintage colors. I love the theme of this, because I love tea, patisseries and tea parties ♪(*´ω｀*) ♬ The collection is slated for release on 21st July 2013 in Japan.

As with all releases this year, the jewel of the chapter is The Little Humming Book III. 

Like the previous two books, it features one cream base, two powder shadows and a lip gloss. The cream base is a pastel pink called Table Napkin. The two powder shadows are a berry pink called Antique Berry and a golden beige called Brick Wall. The gloss is a deep scarlet called Tomato Jam. This retails for 1,575yen with tax.

A new product, Nail Costume. These are nail stickers that can easily be pasted onto your nails. Each comes with a nail file. The three varieties are #1 Teacup, #2 Tablecloth and #3 秘密の住人 (Himitsu no Shujin), which will be sold in all stores that carry Majolica Majorca. These retail for 787yen with tax each.

There's also another 4th design, #0 Omamori, which will be sold exclusively on WatashiPlus, Shiseido's online web store, to be released 21st August.

Majolica Majorca is well-known for their mascaras, and their latest addition is the Lash Expander Edge Meister F, a film type mascara easily removed with just warm water. Majolica Majorca mascaras are well-known for being waterproof, smudgeproof and tough to remove. This version will be removable with just warm water (hope that doesn't include tears!) The mascara features a Duet Comb - a brush with two combs. The main comb is for length and separation, and the little one is for "point catch", especially for lower lashes. This retails for 1,260yen with tax.

Rounding up the collection are two limited edition Artistic Nails (Speedy & Glossy) nail polishes. They are supposed to dry quickly and give a glossy shine, so that you can do nail art soon after. The two limited edition colors are GY971 骨董品 (Kotsutouhin) and RS272 食べ頃 (Tabegoro). These retail for 399yen with tax.

Out of the three 10th anniversary collections this year, this has the quaintest names (to me). Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories, and I love tea and patisseries! Tiramisu, Fraisier and Montblanc are my favorite patisseries ♥ (That's why I really liked AMO's eyelashes for the latest AMOYAMO x Eyemazing collection, because the names are derived from Alice in Wonderland and teatime items too (*´ω`*)♪) Can't wait for this collection to hit Singapore!

Majolica Majorca Moonlight Virgin ★ Summer 2013

Majolica Majorca's summer 2013 release, "Moonlight Virgin". 

The collection's theme takes inspiration from the beauty of the swan, like in "Swan Lake". 

Everything in the collection is limited edition, with white and lovely blue summer hues! I look forward to summer each year, because aqua/turquoise is one of my favorite colors. I have way too much turquoise clothes and accessories. Anyway, the four main make up items start selling tomorrow in Japan~

The star of the collection: The Little Humming Book II, the second "book" palette in their series celebrating their 10th anniversary.

Like the Little Humming Book I, it features one cream base, two powder shadows and a lip gloss. The cream base is a creamy brown called "Earth Land". The two powder shadows are sky blue "Water Mirror", and ivory "Night Dress". The gloss is a muted coral called "Swan Bill". Retails for 1575yen with tax.

Shiny Ray Liner, can function as an eyeliner or lip liner, and the feather is adorable! 1365yen with tax. For the eyes, it can be used on the inner corners, water line or right below the iris to make the eyes look bigger. For the lips, it can be used on top of the cupid's bow or below the lower lip to give the illusion of bigger lips. I love pencil eyeliners like these, finishing my Dolly Wink one soon, will try this when it gets released in Singapore!

Majolica Majorca is well-known for its mascaras, which are really smudge-proof, sweat-proof and water-proof. Sometimes they release limited edition colors like blue and red! This time it's brown~ Great for natural looking lashes. Lash Expander Edge Meister in a limited edition brown, BR666, 1260yen with tax. 

 

Shiny Highlight, can be a face color or eyeshadow. 997yen with tax.

Like the Cream de Cheek blushes released last year, this comes in a little glass bottle that makes it look like nail polish! In a liquid form, you dab it little and spread to blend.

Aqua Fizz Shower, a hair and body lotion, will be released on May 21st, retailing at 997yen with tax. A spray containing raspberry extract, it gives moisture to the hair and skin.  It has the same sweet and romantic smell of the "Majoromanticora" fragrance.

Picture credits to their mixi page. Majolica Majorca has always been one of my favorite drugstore brands, I love how they release their collections in "Chapters", each with a different theme. And they were using the same image model for so many years, so it was quite amazing to see how one person can change their look with each chapter released. Plus, they're friendly on the pockets and are of great quality (made by Shiseido). Majomajo was one of the first make-up brands I really got into, when I was 16! Back then it wasn't available in Singapore, so I got it from yahoo auctions and random blog sellers. This year is their 10th anniversary~ ♥♡ Hope they'll be around in another 10 years!

Majolica Majorca Jewelling Eyes Offer at Watsons

Watson's is having offers on lots of the Majolica Majorca items, so I came back with these: Majomajo Jewelling Eyes in SV887, VI782 and PK330; Majomajo Cream Pencil Liner in BR611; Brow Customize Sword Cut in BR782; and KissMe Heavy Rotation Milky Color Matte Lip in 01 Pure Pink.

Watson's is currently having a major offer on the Majolica Majorca Jewelling Eyes palettes; 3 for S$48 for Watson's members, S$50 for non-members. Usually they retail for S$27.50, so it's even cheaper to buy 3 than to buy 2! The offer is from 28 April to 18 May.

From left to right: VI782 Vanity, PK330 Strawberry Cake and SV887 Good & Evil.

SV887 Good & Evil, my favorite of the lot! This picture doesn't do it justice, go to your nearest Watson's to have a look. It's a bit similar to a KISS palette I had a few years ago, a quad of white, lgrey, pink and dark grey; but the dark grey of the KISS palette was A LOT darker, almost black. This will be a good replacement as KISS isn't sold in Singapore :( And the palette has probably been phased out.

VI782 Vanity, a pretty purple palette. I liked the top right plum shade so I got this.

PK330 Strawberry Cake, a limited edition shade from the Spring 2011 collection. I've never gotten a pink palette before as usually they make me look like I have an eye allergy, but this seemed pastel enough so I'mma give it a shot.

There are other palettes available, sadly the outlet I went to didn't have the one I wanted, GR791 Feathery Fan, looove the teal shade, never got round to buying it though ^^

Actually the 3 for $50 offer is not limited to the Majomajo palettes, as long as the item has an orange sticker, you can get any 3 for $50. There are also 3 for $30, 3 for $80, etc items. Go check out your nearest Watson's to see.

Majomajo was having 20%off the Cream Pencil Liner and mascaras, so I got the liner in brown, BR611 (I have a lot of black pencil liners, 4 of Urban Decay's Zero, Urban Decay's Perversion, YSL, Bibo Eyeful and not to mention gel liners!).

This was originally S$14.50. After 20% off it was S$11.60. It's a matte reddish brown, free from sparkles and glitter. Good if you want a softer, less harsh look (:

Left to right: Majomajo Cream Pencil Liner, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Pencil in Whiskey, UD Bourbon, UD Corrupt

Spotted this recently in Watson's, (it wasn't there last week) after so long it finally hit our shores. The KissMe Heavy Rotation Milky Color Matte Lip in 01 Pure Pink.

This is how the tube looks like, quite plain...and cheap looking.

The lipstick is like this, a flat-top type that kind of resembles a stick concealer, due to the color!

A swatch on the underside of my arm. Very nude with a slight tinge of pink (: The formula is very thick and creamy. I think that you'd best have exfoliated your lips before using this, due to the texture. But I have yet to try them on my lips though! Comes in 3 other colors.

Biore UV Mousse + Watsons purchases

Went to Watsons mainly to get new facial wash as my old one was running out, and ended up with a couple of other things as well (:

4 items. I got the Hadalabo AHA/BHA Exfoliating Face Wash Foam, Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek and Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse Water Base ♥

Puff de Cheek in Strawberry Macaron!

I should have gotten this the other day when there was a 25% discount, but decided against it, and now there's no more 25% discount when I bought it :( I've been debating to get it for the longest time; I really want it but made a resolution to cut back on buying cosmetics. Anyway, I needed a new blush as my Jill Stuart Blush is totally finished!

And, it's so pretty! I'm a total sucker for cute packaging (shallow!) Strawberry Macaron is a strawberry pink. It was the pinkest of the 3 available at Watsons. But it's not a light baby pink I'm looking for, after I finished my Jill Stuart Mixed Compact Blush in 01 Baby Blush :( Still on the search for a replacement! The other two Puff de Cheeks were a peach and an orange color. It comes with a puff, but I'll probably be using a brush like I do with all my blushes. And I probably can't bear to "dirty" the cute puff!

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Mousse Water Base.

What a long name! I got this as I was running out of sunblock, and we all know sunblock's very important in maintaining good skin as most aging is caused by sun damage. Ever seen those photoaging (aging caused by light/sun/UV exposure) posters in clinics? Eurgh a horrible sight! Since Singapore is perpetually sunny, be sure to take care. Like all other facial sunblocks by Biore, this offers great protection with SPF50, PA+++.

I was using the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk, it's lightweight and dries to a smooth, non-sticky, oil-free finish which I really like! Since it's running out, decided to try the new Watery Mousse which just launched here (: There's also a new body/face milk but didn't wanna get that as it's only SPF30. Why settle for SPF30 when you can get SPF50!

The texture of the UV Face Milk is thin and watery. You can see the mousse is firmer. And it has a refreshingly pleasant citrus scent but the smell fades after spreading.

You can't see it but texture-wise, upon spreading the Watery Mousse leaves a soft, moisturized feel, whereas the Perfect Face Milk leaves a smooth satiny feel.

Watson's was having an offer on Hadalabo AHA+BHA face washes, 2 for S$23. Usually the pump one, which dispenses as foam, is S$15.90 each. The tube one, which dispenses as regular wash, is $12.90 each. Previously I'd been using the tubed version. Before that, I was using the Hadalabo Gokujyun face wash. (Really leaves your face feeling soft and clean, not the squeaky stripped-of-oil feel but a soft feel!) I'd wanted to get this after I finished my AHA+BHA tube, and lucky for me there's this offer! ♥

Dispenses as fine, light foam. I'd wanted to get this as foam can cleanse deeper into pores due to the smaller particle size. Lathering wash by yourself can't get the particles to that small size.

This is my almost finished tube of Hadalabo AHA+BHA face wash.

Thick creamy wash. I love Hadalabo!

Recently a whole new bunch of Hadalabo products launched in Watsons, haven't gotten round to getting them yet. There's a lip moisturizer (S$10.90), facial mist, refill pack for the hydrating lotion (S$18.90), and cream.
