Lavshuca Holiday '09

Looks like Lavshuca is giving Majolica Majorca a run for its money with these princessy Custom Selective Eyes (12 duos) which will debut in Japan on 1 November. The slide-out drawer design is reminiscent of Majolica's Shadow Customize singles, which sadly have been greatly reduced in recent years. (At its height, Majolica offered 32 eyeshadow singles, but this has been reduced to a measly 12, although they currently offer many more quads.) The duos are supposedly designed to meet consumers' requests for light/dark shade combos, sparkle and color. The design is cute, but I don't have high hopes for the actual shades as Lavshuca has gone the safe and boring route in its recent releases, i.e. lots of muted pastels, beiges and browns.


The collection also includes Jewel Lips N (Shiny) (12 shades and Jewel Lips N (Color) (10 shades).
