Majolica majorca - MajoRomantica Perfume

Last week, I met this lovely staff and fell in love with this Sweet and Romantic Fragrance.

The bottle is unique shape and really good on me. It is NOT spray type. I am not good at SPRAY Type and the fragrance shower makes my nose itchy and causes sneezing. So, I like something good smell but the strong perfume is not so my favorite.
But but... this looks perfect !!! I haven't seen this type of bottle before in perfumes. Don't you think ???

With the black plastic swab applicator, the scent syrup can be put on the skin directly.

More than this great bottle, actually the sweet scent was really tempting at the shop !!!  It is like a PERFECT, I can say.
I really want to share its smell, fruity and a little bit citrus at the beginning, and move to a little more flower and finally settle down to the sweet like Vanilla. Sweet&Romantic, very Majolica Majorca's fragrance !!!

Majolica majorca is the Japanese drugstore cosmetic brands by SHISEIDO.

They have some shops in HK or Singapore, Taiwan etc. I didn't know this fact until today... amazing ! The concept or package is a little too sweet and lovely on me... but they have many good-quality items. My recommendation is Liquid Eyeliners. If you meet this cosmetics somewhere, please check them out ;-D

Lavshuca - Drugstore cosmetic brand

My cosmetic box is filled with a tond of mmu goodies. I am trying to use the natural staffs as much as possible. But, the lovely goodies in a drugstore are always tempting.

All Japanese big name cosmetic companies have sub-brand for drugstores. One of my favorites is Lavshuca (produced by Kanebo). Firstly, their product package is so cute !!!! Thier e/s pallets or various lip items are high quality for price and actually highly-rated in Japanese No.1 cosmetic rating site.

Today, I found some new products of Lavshuca and could not go without buying....
The sad thing is that this brand is not discounted normally. But, today the store offers 10% point-back sales.

What I bought is this,

Dramatic Memory Liquid - R03 color

The texture is harder than expected. I shold say it is a kind of sticky... but it can stick to the lip and keep longer than normal gloss type of lippies. The color is natural and clear, beautiful and glossy. I love it.

My target image is a model's look as above... PRETTT :-D !!!!
 Her lip color is OR-1. I was wavering which color I should buy. But... I already have Orange color of Lavshuca. So, I selected more red color that could match more on Fall looks.
All colors has gold pearl shimmer that can conform to the yellow-based skin color for Japanese gals.

My another Lavshuca lip (Orange color) is Dramatic memory Rouge.

Lovely package, right ?!?

Beautiful pinkish orange. I really love this color, it makes my face bright up and younger (just I feel at least hehe.) Great color in Spring/summer.

Comparison between above 2 types.

No flash

Ummm..... When I look at above pics, those 2 colors are similar... Yes, I know what kind of color can match on my face color. I tend to choose the similar color all the time...

The price is JPY1,200-1,500. This is almost half price of the brands for the department stores.

shopping at Large mall

My sister is shopping mall lover. She goes and check the new malls even if these are not near her home. I asked her which shopping mall do you like the best ??? And her answer is '' Mozo''.
Mozo ?!?  Mozo Wonder-city is a new large shopping mall in Nagoya city. The largest super mkt chain, AEON, put up this.

Today, she brought us to this shopping mall. It was sooooooooooooo amaging. Huge and clean, and modern !!! It reminds me of my first visit to SHOPPING mall in USA. It was around 15 years ago. At that time, there is not a large shopping mall in Japan. The one in usa was really big and overwhelming.

It is National holiday here. We went there in the morning and got an early lunch at the popular Buffet Restaurant.

Many healthy food choices using the vegetables. Everything is so delicious !!!

                                        JPY1,600 per 1 person. All you can eat in 90 minutes :-D

After eating a lot, need to take a exercise. At mall there, walking and shopping become good exercise :-p

What I bought are,

                                              mechanical pencil by Zebra - JPY300
                                             Ball point pens - JPY100 and JPY200
I highly recommend you to buy the Japanese the stationaly products like above if you travel to Japan. These are very functional and high-quality !!!

                                               JPY1,000 for above 3pcs

And at ''LUSH'', I got these lovely goodies :-D

Three soaps - very YUMMY smells... love^^

Lush has a plant in Japan and the package are in Japanese. And all product has own unique name.

There are many fans of Lush here in Japan.

This time, I was shopping around many shops but walk around with my sister or husband and others... and I was not so big shopper today. so, I'd like to go back maybe by myself. because I can move about freely and can concentrate on just SHOPPING. For serious buying day, to shop alone would be the best.

Don't you think so ???



Pure Luxe - MMU foundies

I have been using MMU foundies and I thought I had found the best foundies after many sampling. It is EGM cover-me (earthen glow minerals). But, suddenly their web-site was closed. So, I started serching for the new best foundie again.
First one I tried to order is PURE LUXE. This brand is popular among Japanese mmu users

I heard the good reputation from the blogs of my blog friends in Japan. The finish looks similar with EGM.

1. Strong Yellow one is WARM HONEY. You know, my skin has yellow under-tone. But, this is too yellow.

2. left one on the bottom is WARM CREAM. It is also in Yellow category but light with a little hint of pink. It looks good on me.

3. right one on the bottom is Autumn. It is darker than WARM CREAM. But, it looks fine.

All foundies has a little sparkling powder and give the dawny finish The powder texture looks like ALIMA foundies I have. I am not good at well-fined loose type.

The big size foundie is ALIMA Warm 2. This is my 2nd best foundie so far.
Warm 2 has a little more pink than Warm Cream, I feel.
The coverage is better in EGM... But, I totally love Pure luxe foundies. I will put it in my list to buy Full-size. YAY !!!
