Lavshuca Melting Eyes Eyeshadow Palette in BR-01 Review

I'm slowly making my way through my Hong Kong beauty stash and am happy to be able to share another review with you ^^

Today's review, as the title already mentions, is on the Lavshuca palette I picked up.

Like most girls, a palette of neutrals is vitally important for everyday looks and I am no different.

I have several palettes where the main colour scheme is, boringly put, brown. But then again who would have thought that the colour none of us liked as children would become a much loved favourite as we grow up.

Ok onto the review!

STATS

A simple palette containing four shades perfect to creating a pretty everyday eye make up, also perfect for use with gyaru make up. The palette contains a cream, honey-brown, taupe and chocolate brown shade, all of which are shimmery.

PACKAGING

I absolutely adore the packaging of this palette. The metallic cover, font and decoration at the corners helps the palette to look subtly princessy without being too over the top. I also love how the prism effect on the lid make the shadows look like jewels. However I do find the packaging to feel a little less sturdy than I would like it to be.

While the lid is clear, the bottom part of the palette is of a deep burgundy colour, adding slightly to the regal feel. The shadows are packed closely together with little extra room between and around the shadows, and there is a small compartment enough for one applicator. The product itself comes with a small double ended applicator; both ends are sponges and are differently sized for ease of application.

RATING: 4/5

QUALITY

These shadows are amazingly soft and buttery but hardly have any fallout. They apply like a dream with fingers, sponge tips or brushes and blend well. Pigmentation is also very good, as you can see on the finger swatches, but do need a little layering into order to achieve the full intensity.

I love how the four shades have got me covered on every level, the lightest shades can be used as a highlight or base whereas the darker shades can be used to shade, contour and line my eyes. I know every other palette with a gradation of shades can do the same thing, but the shimmer particles in this palette add a hint of pretty glimmer to my lids without being too  harsh or difficult to blend.

RATING: 5/5

PRICING
I picked up this palette for 98 HKD, which is roughly around £8. Most drugstore palettes in England cost around the same price but I would say this palette is more worth the price.
RATING: 5/5

LONGEVITY
These shadows last well on my lower lids without a primer, but as usual I require a primer for my upper lids.
RATING: 4/5


I would definitely repurchase this palette if I ever manage to use it all up, I really enjoy its buttery soft texture and softly enhancing properties. It's a definite recommendation from me, but if you want to try something different to brown shades, pick up 0R-1 instead. It comes with a soft shimmery orange shade that looks amazing for brightening the eye.
