I’m a sucker for packaging.
There i said it. It wasnt really a big secret was it?
Was out shopping with the husband over the weekend and spotted the majomajo [majorlica majorca, a lot of us call it majomajo in japan XD] Fall in “Girl” Legend 2 collection.
To save on carparking, i picked up a few things.
Do you like my weird logic? It was 600yen per hour of parking or one free hour for spending 1000yen
I’ll leave you to ponder if it works out XD
This is possibly the tinest christmas release. XD
There were only 3 items.
First up, the Lash Gorgeous Wing Mascara in the color RD600. This is a limited edition release.
RD600 is basically scarlet red i guess. I didnt buy this as i dont use colored mascara often. I also skipped on the previous limited edition colors like purple [previous collection] and bronze orange [summer collection] Not only tat, i throw my mascaras out within 1 month , its a little wasteful esp since i wont be wearing red mascara daily.
Second item, Speed and Glossy Nail color in the new color PK400. This is not a limited edition color.
Ok i did buy this…XD
I like buying nail polishes from Majomajo. I like the packaging and they are really good for doing gradient nails.
Sadly my nails are in the most horrifying state lately due to my cleaning spree around the house. Once they are in a better state, i will paint my nails in this color for you to have a look ^^
Lastly..and i suppose its the “star” item. Majoromantica [Perfume]
The description for this is sooo cheesy XD [A drop of the eternal "girl"] OMG hahahahahah
The packaging is amazing of course, i love it!!! Doesnt it look like a vial of blood? [ is this what they mean by a drop of eternal girl? XD]
I am at no good at describing scents so here’s the japanese description i ganked from the online website. Translated for you guys.
Top notes トップノートが
Berry,citrusy fruity aroma
ベリー系、柑橘系のジューシーでフルーティーな香り
Middle notes ミドルノートが
Rose fragrance and Floral scents
ローズなどのフローラルスイートな香り
Last notes ラストノートが
Sweet and mysterious smell of sandalwood and vanilla
バニラやサンダルウッドのスイートでミステリアスな香り
The smell is very long lasting and evens out beautifully.
The perfume is similar to essential oil, whereby u just dab some onto yourself [wrists, behind the ears?]
The wand is extremely pretty!
Overall, i highly reccomend this scent! I wore this recently and almost every male friend i know has asked me what it is. The husband likes this a lot too. So perhaps it is indeed the “drop of an eternal girl” AHAAHAHAHA
FYI, on Cosme [the most popular cosmetic ranking site in japan], this perfume is currently ranked #12!
Verdict: Go wear this on a date XD
As a last note on this collection [omg can i waffle on anymore? XD] i wish this collection was a wee bit bigger? How about some eyeshadow palettes? The ad visuals were so lovely so i wish they did a little more. =_=;
Since i am on the topic of recent buys, thought i quickly talk about these items
Shiseido has added a new product to their successful Tsubaki Hair Range. Its the Tsubaki Water. I managed to buy the introductory travel pack which comes with samples of the shampoo and conditioner as well. I generally use the White range [not the red range] which is for damaged hair as i get my hair dyed a lot XD Will let u guys know how this goes later!
Since we are talking about Tsubaki Shampoo/Conditioner, i also picked up this set of the gold range
Like i said, i use the white range and have not used the Gold range before. i believe this is their newest range? Will review this soon! i’m going on a roadtrip with my sister next weekend so will bring this along to use. I like bringing my own shampoo/conditioner. This is because i use a lot of conditioner hahahaha
Also picked up some new eye drops for contact lens wearers.
Havent started on using these yet but i will probably start later this week as my current one is almost empty.
I still cant find the perfect eye drops for contact lens wearers. Do you have any to reccomend?
Some quick notes…
1. i reopened my contact form a few days ago and i recieved a lot of email from you guys. A lot of them were wishing me good health so i want to thank you guys for sending those!! it means a lot to me!! i will be replying to every single one of them but it going to take me a while ok? Sorry!! if u havent heard from me, this is why.
2. I havent picked my halloween giveaway winner cos i kept forgetting! Thanks to those that reminded me! will do it this week!
3. Those of you who lusted after the snowman tumblers from starbucks which i posted pics of last friday. I found out they are being sold in other countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong so they are definetely not limited to japan.
Healthwise, i am doing a lot better! Hopefully i am back to 100% by the end of this week ^^
Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts/regards!
Take care
XOXO Yumeko
