It is MASCARA MONDAY TIME! This is the debut post for this new special project! The first mascara I will be reviewing is from Majolica Majorca. I have most of the mascaras but am missing 1-2. They are quite famous for the quality and the comb application. I'm personally not a fan of the combing mascaras but I love everything about these mascaras. Must say the packaging is what brought me to purchasing all of them as they came out. For starters, I will be reviewing the primer first as it's an essential or lust-worthy thing to have. It comes in a nice white tube with signature font that reads "Curl, curl, curl toward the sky" Primers are used to prepare and seperate lashes before the real application of mascara. They are often white/clear and have lengthening strengths to it. It also helps set and maintain the curl of your lashes throughout the day. The MJ one comes with a comb brush and is fairly translucent so it doesn't leave loads of white liquid drops on the lashes.
Here are photos of my lashes before application. I have curled my short straight lashes.
Now my lashes coated with the MJ Primer/Mascara base.
Just to show the full effect of the Primer/Mascara base with Mascara. Here are pictures of my eye without the primer but with the Visee Lash Glamour Shape Mascara.
And finally pictures with the primer and Visee mascara.
I honestly don't find this base as great as other primers I've used but I did own the first one MJ came out with. It's not as lengthening as others but I like how clean it is. It's comb feature is easy to use even though I don't like the comb. It's truly a breeze to apply! It's probably meant for a natural look. It's really an ok product depending on your needs and wants. I personally enjoy using it even though it doesn't really do much because it's a primer which is probably better than applying mascara alone.
Pros: Natural looking, Primer for lashes, Easy comb application
Cons: Not much difference
Please come back next Monday for:

Yipee!! Mascara Monday commences!
I too am looking for a wonder base mascara. I want it to work like magic and also keep my lashes in tip top condition.
Not too much to ask for is it?
I dont get comb mascaras. I get myself in an awful mess with them.
Yay! I'm glad you came back and enjoyed it!
There is actually another primer I use from Avance which is really white(looks a bit like the Maybelline ones) but it really lengthens. That one is a bit tricky though because of all the white that you have to cover.
I don't get the combs either! It is pretty messy if you don't have the skill and steady hand. But I must say the MJ formulas are good. I suppose I should try using a normal brush in the MJ formula. Ooh. Sounds like a great idea!
Ok you have talked me into it! Next mascara I get will be a comb one!haha
I did review on the cheapie Canmake base mascara.
I think the next one I try will be the Clinique one....it is conditioning and protective which is good right?
I am going to put you on my fav blog list........hope that is ok?
Ooh clinque doesn't sound so bad either! I think the one I was looking at was from Estee Lauder or something.
Canmake! How was that? I shall check out that review of yours!
And sure! Add me! I'll add you too!
