Thanks to Bleucheeze and Duckiee for the info. I asked a friend who was travelling to HK for work, to get some Lavshuca items for me. Aster Cosmetic Centre ("Ya Shi") http://www.aster.com.hk/ sells Lavshuca but not Majolica Majorca. Places like Lung Shing Dispensary in Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui will sell Majolica Majorca but NOT Lavshuca. Mutually exclusive.
My Lavshuca haul as follows:
1)Loose Powder Foundation (it's just loose powder, don't know why they added the word "Foundation" to the name, makes it sound like a 2-way cake but it's not), in OC-B 18g, for HK$120.
2)Liquid Lips (lip gloss) in PK-2, 7g for HK$96.
3)Liquid Eye Liner in PU-1 (the one that Flecks has reviewed), 2ml for HK$96.
4)Color Control Base in WT-1, 15g for HK$85.
5)Eyeliner Pencil in BR-1 (comes with a capped smudger sponge at one end), 0.09g for HK$92.Just divide by about 5 for the price in Singapore dollars.
In response to asakura:I've asked the Metro Sengkang Kanebo sales people. They said that the Faircrea powder foundation refill case will fit into the Revue casing (and vice versa). I've read in another thread that the Kate refil can fit in also - i.e. Revue, Faircrea and Kate powder foundation cases are interchangeable. Not sure about Lavshuca refils, but seems very likely?

lladyrain: you're welcomed Lung Shing Dispensary sells MM? I didn't see that when i was there... anyhow, MM is really overpriced in Hong Kong. I would rather get it from Taiwan auction or CP from japan...
Hi Bleucheeze, yup, Lung Shing Dispensary sells MM and Anessa sunscreen (by Shiseido, this Anessa range is available in Japan, HK and Taiwan.... it's in a clear plastic box and has "Perfect Pearly", gold version and silver version, different from what's sold in Singapore, which is in a yellow and gold cardboard box).
The Lung Shing Dispensary sells MM: liquid eyeliner at HK$105, the pen refil eyeliners, eyeshadows (singles... I didn't seem to see the Majolook when I was there) etc. Not the full range because quite a few things are sold out when I went last year, but my friend who helped me buy said that there are quite a lot of things. But sadly, no Lavshuca.
I asked my friend to get MM things from "Lan Lan Cosmetics" which is also a chain store. But the Shiseido items (MM, Anessa) are more expensive there, though they do stock a lot of nice hard to get items at the Miramar Hotel and Causeway Bay outlet. If you have time to shop around, then can go back and forth Lung Shing Dispensary and Lan Lan Cosmetics to see the price difference. Yup, Bleucheeze, you're right that MM is more expensive in Hong Kong, sometimes it's cheaper to get even in Yahoo Auctions Singapore.
Anyway, back to Lavshuca... I think it's very reasonably priced in HK, in the Aster chain shops. It is very expensive to buy Lavshuca items in Singapore, through the auctions or online shops. E.g. the make up base that I bought is about S$17. But most Singapore sellers would price it around S$32. Will rate it once I used more of the item... so far so good. The Lavshuca make up base in WT-1 is so much better than the Bourjois one. But I've yet to determine if it is as good as or better than the Ettusais (by Shiseido) Base Control Pearl.
