Price: 450NTD at a discount store, which translates loosely to 14 USD. However, online stores will sell it for quite a bit more.
Texture: It has a smooth texture, however it's the slightest bit of gritty from the glitter in it. Therefore, expect a little fallout.
Finish: Shimmery! If you hate shimmer, stay away. Like most Japanese brands, this is shimmery!
Pigmentation: Sheer...I had expected better from Lavshuca honestly. Their other palettes' pigmentation are way better. Doesn't really show up or pop! I had to use MAC Mutiny pigment to save my look the day I used this.
Lasting Ability: This didn't crease on me or fade during the whole day, above Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Colors:
This is where it all falls apart. The colors are so...light! So...disapointing. I'm already pretty pale (MAC NC20, yellow) and this doesn't do much. It's like a palette of highlighters.
Nevertheless... from left to right:
White side:
1. Light silver, shimmery. Nothing special..
2. Beautiful light seafoam green, I only wish it showed up more. Shimmery.
3. I'd say it was a silvery beige, something I bet MAC has duped. SUPER sheer! Shimmery.
Black side:
1. Darker light blue, which I think it a dupe for MAC mutiny. Shimmery.
2. Even darker blue, something that I would think was a washed up MAC Deep truth, maybe added with a little periwinkle color. Shimmery.
3. The only color without a shimmery finish, it's a satin flesh colored eyeshadow. Again, not really unique.
Review in 3 sentences:
It's a sheer glittery palette, that is Limited Edition. Honestly, the colors are not very unique, and I don't think the color combination of blues/ greens/silver/nude works well together. One of two palettes for Summer '08, and a huge disapointment.
Thank you for this review! It's something I think about putting in my cart whenever I am shopping for some Japanese goodies, and you definitely helped make my decision: I am not going to get it! ;) It looks pretty but you're right - while I like sheer things, dupes are out there!
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie! No problem! I think the other palette was better, but there were no testers when I bought it. Glad it helped you!!
