While these two are both Asian brands, Etude house is from Korea while Majolica Majorca is from Japan. What I love about both of them is the fact that they take packaging passionately. If you aren't tempted by the covers, the effects are seriously nice as well. First Round
So Etude house takes the first round, why is that you ask? Well, look at the HUGE difference in size at almost the same price. As for coverage, some people might like Majolica better because it looks like it's hardly there. But for people who like staying up (or who have no choice) then Etude house will win you over. I've been going without a concealer for years now. And I look just fine. I never honestly thought these makeup had value for buck. Second Round
Here's what I noticed: If you use a Majolica product on it's own, it's not as good as it should be. But use them together and seriously, they really "make your dreams come true". Majolica wins out this one because this particular shade is for EVERYONE. It somehow follows and blends in with your complexion and avoids making you look grey or too white. That's the issue I had with the "Dream on Pact", one wrong pat and that part of your face is all too white. Not for everyday use, maybe for cosplay? That's all for today folks!
I'll be adding the Nymph aura review in a bit as well! Comments? Suggestions? Send some love this way? Anything is welcome.

Am honestly a very simple person, Although, I seriously adore good packaging, good sweets and salt. Shameless self-insert (゜◇゜) I was an obviously dorky, dull, and simple student. You wouldn't even know I was a girl if it weren't for uniforms. All I did was drink tea, read books and sew. Now, that am part of the working world... I have the opportunity to actually 'live life' as I see fit. (Tax included "OTL) I tried resisting, but the call of the witch was simply to tempting. ("Majo" in Nihonggo/Japanese means "witch" or "magic" when literally translated) The hand cream was free upon purchase of P1,500 worth of products. Actually, easier than imagined. Majolica MajorcaThe ReviewThe Packaging is sold separately from the actual powder.
Coverage: The coverage is light and it lasts me about half of the day. I like the softness of the sponge which reminds me a lot of Maybeline's "Angel Fit" foundation. The effect isn't as good as I thought though. (I use Etude's "Precious Mineral BB Cream" together with it) Cons: I don't regret buying the packaging. It's more of that refill am touchy about. Being a compact refill from Japan I was looking forward to seemingly 'porcelain' skin. I ended up with my normal looking huge-ass pores and oily skin. Do I need to couple it with the "Pore Lingerie Cover" in order for it to work? Am hoping not, in any case, am definitely not getting this again. Recommend? No.
I still love the brand, and will continue patronizing 'some' of the products. Will try their eyeliners and the lovely mascaras. If you'd like more info on the products go visit Majolica Majorca's official site.
