I also read great reviews about Shiseido's sister company Majolica Mallorca, especially its lengthening mascara. Is it really that good?

Yes, it's actually pretty good, but you will need an eye makeup remover to remove the mascara lol. I have the before after pics on my computer, I'l post it later on before-after mascara thread.

I read some reviews about the comparison between the two brands: MM SV821 seems very similar to Shu ME 945. Do you know if it is true? TIA! MM eyeshadow is the best one if we compare it to other Japanese drugstore brand eyeshadow. But, in my opinion we can't really compare it to Shu eyeshadow, since the quality is different, Shu e/s are more pigmented than MM e/s. Just take a look on the price. MM e/s cost around $5 USD while Shu cost around $19 USD here. So, there's a lot of difference on the price.
If MM has the same quality as Shu, I won't be buying Shu e/s lol.
I think I have the MM and Shu swatches pics on my computer. I'll look for it and post it later on gallery.
