Review: Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus

4 comments
I, for one thing, can usually skip applying mascara when putting on makeup.  It's either I put on my favorite falsies or I just leave my eyelashes bare.

Applying mascara is not my thing, simply put.

A lot of beauty bloggers have raved about Majolica Marjorca's mascara.  I think one reason it's kinda hyped up here in Manila is because it's not available here.  In Hong Kong, Majolica Majorca is a drugstore brand like Maybelline, Revlon, etc etc.  And I've never given much thought about trying it.  During one of my trips to HK last 2010, I decided to purchase their mascara.  It wasn't exactly because I changed my mind about mascaras.  It was more of, I couldn't think of something else to purchase.  You know that feeling that you just have to buy something at the beauty section?? Yeh, my thoughts exactly.

So, there I was at Watson's standing in front of Majolica Majorca's kiosk because I had no idea which mascara to get!

Lash Expander Frame Plus, HKD119.00
Awarded as Best Mascara

Lash Comb



Pros:
- holds the curl for more than 8 hours
- does the job of expanding lashes horizontally
- good packaging

Cons:
- not locally available
- quite expensive mascara for a drugstore brand
- instructions are in Japanese and has no translation (definitely not recommended for first-time users)
- gets messy as it has the tendency to transfer to lower lashes
- doesn't volumize nor lenghtens the lashes; it expands them haha


I probably won't purchase another tube.  Staying power is good.  But it's not the only component I need in a mascara.

  1. Yea, I heard so much about this mascara. However, I like my mascaras to give volume and length...don't really need the 'expansion'

    Thanks for the review!

  2. that's strange, when I used it, it actually lenghtened my lashes a lot and made my lashes look thicker.
