Recently, my bro asked me what I want cos he's going Taiwan. So I looked through some Jap cosmetic brands' sites knowing that most of the Jap cosmetics in Taiwan are sold cheaper than in Japan itself.

I came by Lavshuca site, seeing the advert on their new Summer Collection - Lav Garden, thought that I could share with you ladies too. Incase you're like me, asking friend to custom purchase for you. ^_^

Lav Garden limited edition eyepalette was just released on 1st of May, while stocks lasts.

I'd been liking Lavshuca for awhile now, as you could see it from my previous posts HERE. Especially their lip products! I almost clear their rack when I was in Hong Kong the last time! Lolx~ Their lip products are usually quite pigmented and their shades are good to use for a natural look at work or school. ^^
The limited edition lipgloss shown below will only be on the racks from May till Oct 2012

I was pretty tempted to get one of the below.. then suddenly recalled that I still have a few unopened ones so..... I withdraw myself from it. (>⌂<")
This limited edition Lipstick comes in 4 shades, they were already launced on Feb 2012 and will only be available till July 2012.

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

This post is somewhat the continuation of my previous X'mas-New Year post. ^^ (Read HERE for the previous post)

Last year Dec 16-19, I and a few friends went to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur for a Cosplay event, Comic Fiesta 2011. The CF 2011 was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and we stayed only a walking distance away, which is the Impiana Hotel.

I mean, Belated Merry X'mas & Happy New Year! Hahax~ ^^"

I hadn't been blogging since last year (lolx). For past 2 months+ I was very busy with work, going out on my off days and preparing my cosplay stuff (More like resting when I have some spare time as I'm just too tired! lolx~).
Now I got lots of stuffs to write about: my collective haul, my birthday, my trip to KL, X'mas presents! ^o^ And not forgetting reviews! I hadn't been doing it for so long! Pls forgive me *bows* m(_ _")m

Anyhoo, hereby presenting my cosplay, me as 藤乐乐 [Teng Le Le] from 独领风骚 [THE ONE], taken by Data.  This is like my.... 3rd time cosplaying the same character? ^^" I never get bored of doing it cos its considered the least troublesome costume among the rest. And its my first time cosplaying outside of Singapore! Hence I'm very excited about it! XD~
Following 3 photos all taken at Impiana Hotel in KL, Malaysia.Thats the hotel that we stayed during Comic Fiesta 2011 @ KLCC (CF Facebook) (More coverage @ Danny Choo) Its an overall good hotel, I like it ^^, service & food was ok. We only experienced once which the power tripped in the morning and we have to brush teeth in the dark toilet even though its morning lolx~ Cos everyday in KL was cloudy~

During September, I went Zhuhai, Macau, Hong Kong for work. At very short hours I grabbed alot of stuffs from the shelves without even looking at them! Hahax.. just kidding^^" But yah, I almost swiped off products from shelves cos I don't have much time to even think if I should buy them due to the busy schedule and itinerary!

Finally, I get my hands on MORE Lavshuca lippies (YIPPE YEAH YEAH!) and also the NARS Orgasm Blush which my bro couldn't managed to buy during his Thailand trip! \^o^/~

The Sample Store recently sent me 2 LipIce Sheer Color for review. At the moment I heard 'LipIce', my eyes brightened up! *DING* (O)_(O)!
I had a few Mentholatum lip products and I'm really loving them all, especially the LipIce Gloss that I own and the Lip Gel~ ^.^

Here, shows the LipIce Sheer Color in Shimmer and Strawberry.
It is said that this LipIce Sheer Color works like a lipstain + lip balm (or lip moisturizer). I went "OOoo! ♥" when I hear 'Lipstain'. =D
However, the moment I see Stawberry, I faints. (Lolx) Because I don't really like using cosmetics with strawberry scent or flavor! (I'm weird eh? ^^") Nevertheless, I still give both a try to see how they feel!

LipIce Sheer Color write-up & Ingredients
Important point for all to know: It contains Effective Anti-oxidant of Vitamin E to soften and protect lips against the harmful environment ^^

To know which LipIce is Shimmer or Strawberry, just look at the bottom of the product where the round sticker will state.

The inside looks totally different! Therefore easier for us to differentiate which is which ^^.

LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry swatches
It looks pinkish on my hand but when I wipe it off with tissue, it obviously shows as magenta rather than pink.

LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry swatches on my lips
I have pigmented dry (dehydrated cos I dun drink enough water ^^") lips, the moment I look at the word Sheer, I'm thinking it can't cover my pigmented lips. But... who knows, it DOES cover up! Moreover, it makes my lips almost hot red.. um, i mean hot magenta.. Lolx~

Review on LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer & Strawberry
- LipIce Sheer Color Lip Moisturizer is slim and slick, really easy to carry around.
- Easy to use, soft & smooth to glide on the lips.
- Sweetly scented with Strawberry flavor
- Upon application, it immediately changes my lip colour to Pinkish-magenta (More to magenta than pink), covers about 70% of my pigmented lips.
- Its moisturising level is better than the normal lip balm as it is a tad oilier. And it appears to look alittle glossy too.
- The only big difference from Shimmer & Strawberry is that Shimmer, obviously has shimmers. ^^" The shimmers are pretty obvious if you look close up and the shimmers stays well even after blotting.
- Lip color stays on for about half a day, requires reapplying after drinking/eating
- Probably the only downside is that after every use, the content must be cleaned off with a tissue, otherwise the area that keep contact with the lips will turn pink too.
- Another downside for me (particularly for pigmented lips ladies), is I find that it doesn't fully cover the pigmented areas. So I would still use a lipstick ontop of this lip moisturizer.
I'm now using Sheer Color in replace of my Lip Stain as it is really easier in application wise. Just turn and apply! ^_^

Besides Shimmer & Strawberry, LipIce Sheer Color is also available in Fragrance Free!
(If you are like me, who doesn't like strawberry, you can choose Sheer Color Fragrance Free lip moisturizer! ^.^v~)

Retail Price: SGD$7.50

Available in Watsons

♣♣♣♣♣ Lavshuca Lipstick PK-3 review ♣♣♣♣♣

I bought Lavshuca lipstick during my past Macau-HK trip few months ago, and I had been using this lipstick for the past 2 months with LOTSA ♥♥♥!!!~ Kekkee~
I'll tell you why, in awhile later. ^_^

Here shows the very pretty product design. A translucent maroon with exquisite silver coated motif. It kinda reminds me of something that a magical witch will carry (read too much manga or watch too much anime.. hahhax~)

The colour is a very pretty coral. Somehow the pinkish tone wasn't captured by my camera, it appears to look more like peach in the below pic.

Underneath I'm wearing LipIce Shimmer and top with Lavshuca PK3. Hence it appears to look more pinkish.

I love this Lavshuca lipstick as its very pigmented, it covers 100% of my pigmented lips. The colour is very very pretty, Its creamy and has a slight gloss to it. However like any other lipsticks, its still a little drying after long hours of wearing.

Basically, I'm now dying to try to get all the lippy colours from this range! Anyone going to HK/Taiwan soon? Lolx~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.
