Majolica Majorca - Mascaras


Recently I've been very much into Asian mascaras since I find they are very good at holding a curl and giving both volume and length. I have two mascaras here from Majolica Majorca, the first is Lash Expander Edge Meister (black lid) and the other is Lash King (gold lid).


Lash Expander Edge Meister has a plastic wand which is flat. The top is straight with small combs and the bottom is curved with longer combs. The formula of the mascara is a bit wet and the wand was very hard to control in my opinion. My lashes clumped together very easily because of the wand but Im sure with practice I can make it work. The formula made my lashes droop a tiny tiny bit, but they were still curled and looked alright. the application might get easier when you use it more and there isn't as much product sticking to the wand like there will be in the first few applications. This mascara claims to give length and separation.

Lash King had a bristle brush comb and is very easy to use. The formula is a lot dryer than the Lash Expander but I tend to like dryer formulas. It kept a curl very nicely and separated and lengthened my lashes without looking clumpy. This mascara claims to be an all rounder that will give length, volume and separation, and it really does!

Both mascaras are fiber mascaras. The fibers does not flake or fall out and they are by far the best fiber mascaras I've ever used!

In the picture above I'm wearing Lash King on the left and Lash Expander on the right. It's clear to see that the Lash King gave more separation and length than the Lash Expander which looks a bit clumpy. Also because of Lash Expanders wet formula it transferred a bit to my lower lashes because I blinked. I didn't mind this because I put mascara on my lower lashes anyway, but if you don't like that look be aware of this. 

My fave is the Lash King and I highly recommend it! But I'm not giving up on the Lash Expander since it is the brands most sold mascara so maybe I'm just missing something?

Fairydrops waterproof mascara - review


I've seen a lot of people on YouTube talk about this mascara, but it is nearly impossible to find, so my search went to eBay. Plenty of sellers have this but shipping will take forever but most of the time shipping is free so that's a plus. It's not the cheapest mascara but not as expensive as designer brands either.


The wand has three bobbles and is curved, which makes it very good for length, separation and curl, and because the formula is waterproof the curl lasts all day on me which I love!


When I opened the mascara I was surprised to see small fibers in the mascara, because it doesn't mention anywhere that this mascara has fibers or any kind of lash extensions in it. In the picture above you can see some small fibers sticking out at the top of the wand, but lots more fibers are on the wand it was just hard to capture on photo.


The mascara give a very natural look, but with a lot of added length, separation and curl. the formula is wet which had me worried that my lashes would droop but the curl stayed all day and it didn't flake or smudge on me. I love this mascara and will without a doubt buy it again and I will recommend it to anyone who is looking for a mascara that gives length and holds a curl without flaking like other lash extending fiber mascaras.

If you hate mascaras that takes a bit of work to get off then this is not for you, I use an oil based eye makeup remover and it took more work than removing my usual waterproof mascara!
