Sofina Aube usually releases an early fall collection in June. This year, it will be released in Japan on June 14th, and it includes:

Gel & Shine Eyes (above, six shades, limited edition)

Rouge Purely Stay (10 new shades)

The new Gel & Shine Eyes looks quite interesting. Each pot has a gel eyeshadow and a loose-powder eyeshadow in a coordinating shade. The gel eyeshadow is relatively sheer and provides a base for the sparkling loose-powder eyeshadow. I look forward to seeing the other four shades!

I will update this post when I have more information.

Hi PJ,

Being a BIG fan of your blog (and everything about Japan), I’m amazed how you’ve kept yourself so informed with all these goodies! Followed your recommendations, I’ve just bought some stuff on Ichibankao.com. Just wondering, how long it normally takes for the parcel to get here (in UK)? do you normally have to pay extra custom tax for it? Thank for all the informations and keep up the good work!

Hi Dani,

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind words!

I am not sure which delivery option you went for (normal airmail, registered airmail, or EMS (Express Mail Service)). I have gone for registered mail service, and a package takes between 5 and 7 working days to arrive. With EMS, a package takes 2 to 3 working days to arrive.

I have shopped from the site for several times, and I have not been charged tax.

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much again for visiting my blog and posting your comment. Hope to hear from you again soon! :)

That thing on the top looks pretty fancy. I’m very fascinated w/ Asian brands, since I’m in the US. There’s so many things that I want! I’d love to visit and go makeup shopping.

Hi Specialkalle,

I like the look of the Gel & Shine Eyes as well. I also like the concept of two textures of eyeshadows packaged together.

Thank you very much for leaving your comment again, and keep up the great work with your blog! :)
