Pamper Yourself Like a Princess

Remember when putting on makeup was fun? Less about hiding flaws or adding folds to our eyelids and more about playing dress-up and experimenting with new looks?

Several weeks ago I blogged about collagen that was good enough to eat. Now comes makeup that’s cute enough to display as art! (Well, almost.)

Popular Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido has released a series of vibrant eyeshadow shades in the Majolica Majorca line. They look like retro-chic perfume bottles or glass containers filled with pretty, colorful sand. Peach shimmer is my favorite.

The blush is also a sight to behold. It comes in an elegant, faux-antique case(“majolica” traditionally refers to tin-glazed, European earthenware) and gives off a princess royalty vibe. It makes a great gift for teens or anyone who wants to feel girly and pampered. MM prides itself on providing affordable, super-cute alternatives to the classic Shiseido look.

As with many items in Japan, packaging is as important as product — especially in the beauty business. Why else would face blotting paper, which is the definition of plain, get the royal treatment so often?
