Majolica Majorca from Shiseido is an affordable makeup line for drugstores and has total makeup products, eyeliners, eyeshadows, lipglosses, blushes and nails etc. It's now available in 7 countries in Asia and their fans have been increasing. Majolica Majorca is a huge brand for MASCARA and I've been using their 2 mascaras, "Lash Expander Edge Meister" and "Lash King" which are so amazing. Those are inexpensive and get my lashes longer and denser. Facebook page introduces their latest products and shows makeup tips and how-to videos with using their products.

I have been loving these brands since I was teenager because they are totally inexpensive but high quality.  So far, I have used some products of each brands but not so various as beauty bloggers, so I picked several product reviews in 2013 since they introduce the latest collections and those would help you know more details about the products. I will share the rest 7 brands on next post soon! 

Thank you for reading :)
