Kose Esprique Precious - Eye Shadow Singles - OR210

This is one of my favorite eye shadows. I rarely, rarely, rarely use eye shadows because I'm too lazy to blend and mix and I would usually go for a natural look with just a lipstick and a blusher on, so I get to use this very seldom. But this eye shadow from Esprique Kose never fails me.

It's in orange with little gold sparkled glitters on it. The texture of the eye shadow is very smooth and silky, not to mention it is very easy to apply. I think you can also apply this with a wet applicator for a long lasting effect. For me, I use my Benefit She Laq sealer.

For my medium-fair skin-tone (NC30 / NC35), this has an orangy-bronze-gold finish look which I usually love. Japanese brand eye shadows are really good with eye shadows, they rarely fail!

Lavshuca Stick Eyeshadow in PK-2

I love, love, love stick / pencil eyeshadows. Why? Well, it's a quickfix, rather than swiping a powder eyeshadow into your eyes and blending it.

I bought this Stick Eye Shadow from Lavshuca over Watson's for HKD 60. Not bad for a drugstore brand.

This is another product from Kanebo's Lavshuca and well, it's quite ok.. Out of 5 stars, I would give this a 2 star.

They have 8 different colors for this product from Lavshuca namely, PK-1, PK-2, BR-1, BE-1, BU-1, PU-1, BK-1 and GD-1. I purchased PK-2 just to be safe since pink works for me the best.

First, the fact that it is a stick eyeshadow is a plus factor for me. It's not that bad after all. It's very easy to use, retractable, no need to sharpen. It's product content is also very smooth making it very easy to apply into your eyes.

Minus factor for this product? Well, as you have known, I did made a lot of reviews already from the brand Lavshuca and I have one common problem with most of their products. It's not pigmented enough for my skin tone, it doesn't add color on my skin tone. Even if it does, I still need to swatch 5, 6, 7 or even 10 times, just to get the color that I wanted.

Here are my other reviews about Lavshuca products (as of March 12, 2010) :

2. Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge (Lipstick)

3. Lavshuca Color Control Base

4. Lavshuca Jewel Lips

Well, I'm willing to swap this up over MUA, but at the same time, I'm going to use it because I also like it, and besides, it's a quick fix and very easy to use. :)
