Lavshuca Jewel Lipstick


As mentioned in my previous post, I never really had the urge to try Lavshuca lip products but somehow I always find myself doing the opposite. I decided to try 2 of their Rouge Lipsticks when they first came out. I tried BE-5 and RS-5. At the time of promotion they had more attractive names but I have yet to look them up. I will update with those names shortly. These lipsticks came out before the Lip Essence and are smaller than most lipsticks in size. Somewhat stubby and cute with the signature Lavshuca colours.



BE-5 is a shimmery dark champagne colour that is leaning onto nude. I still don't know why I always purchase these "golden" numbers when they don't suit me at all. I suppose I wanted to be experimental and hae something other than pink and red in my drawer. BE-5 is a really pretty colour for much more darker skinned audience, I think. Although the colour isn't great, the texture of the lipstick is pretty good. It's not too thick and not too thin. Compared to the lip essence, it is of a different cateogory. More pigmented and much more "coverage".



The RS-5 runs along the darker colours in the collection. It was pretty alluring to me. I found it close to my lip colour but darker. By darker, it made me feel more alive and just brought more colour to my face. The only complaint is that I wish it was a bit more shimmery. Just a touch and it would've been well-made for me.

Pros: Good formula for lipstick, Great colour selection
Cons: Gold tinted lipsticks aren't great for everyone.

Never tried Lavshuca cosmetics. I do however have an eyeshadow pallete on its way.

I am note very good with dark lipsticks unfortunately......the words "bread and jam" come to mind!

Strange enough I have never tried their regular pallets, just their limited edition ones. Which one did you get?

Dark lips are super trendy this fall/winter but I'm not into either. I find just a slight darker than normal lip colour is good. The Lavshuca ones aren't that dark and pigmented as say... MAC ones are.
