Aha! Its finally here – my Lavshuca Summer Gradually Compact in 01 – Shiny Sand Beach.
Flourescent light washes everything out so I apologize for the poor quality of the picture. Essentially, its a 6 colour eyeshadow palette in gold and sand tones. The palettes on top are to be placed into the case below. Its a lot smaller than I expected! I got mine online at Ichibankao.com for US$27.90 as Lavshuca isn’t sold outside of Japan at this time.
Here are some first thoughts:-
- The palette case is a thin but sturdy metal. Its rather less substantial than the Stila metal palettes but should do the trick.
- The eyeshadow pans are really small.
- The colours in the white palette look metallic and brighter than what you see in the picture. The ones in the black palette are more shimmery for 2 and the one on the far right looks the most matte of the lot.
- There is some sticky glue at the back of the palettes for you to stick them into the metal pan. I got the sticky stuff all over my fingers because I did not know this.
I haven’t tested the colour but despite my concern, I don’t think this one will be too warm for me as in person, they look rather cool or neutral. I’ll test it and update in a week or so, so stay tuned for my review on the Lavshuca summer eyeshadow palette!
congrats for ur new baby, PB!! :-). Cant wait for ur review…..
btw, is the Ichibankao.com accepts visa/master like strawberrynet.com? since i dont have paypal.
TIA
it’s cute but it doesn’t look small from the pictures. i am smart now that i won’t jump on the train and get this as i know it will not do well on me. but i am sure it looks great on you. maybe all i need is UDPP to get such e/s show…
review it soon please! thanks
Just to let you know, Lavshuca is also sold in Taiwan and Hong Kong (I know those two for sure). So maybe it’ll be introduced to Malaysia and Singapore soon!
Reeka: Thanks. I’ll review it next week hopefully. Yes they take credit cards too.
jojoba: LOL… I don’t think it’ll work for you, honestly. But its pretty yes?
Becky: Well lets hope so! Thanks for the info.
Oh the palette case is so pretty! Who cares about the colours, just keep the palette case ;) I love how girly Lavshuca cosmetics come in.
Waiting to see an FOTD on this! :-)

Tine: Yes they are so pretty packaged but I think i fell for hype again!
Monstro: LOL… don’t think its going to happen.
