SUQQU has updated its website to feature the fall 2008 collection, which will be released in Japan on August 8th.

Does the image above remind you of Lunasol‘s Red Purification collection? SUQQU’s red-themed lineup draws inspiration from the rich warm red that has figured predominantly in the Japanese culture for centuries. The collection includes:

Eyelid Base (1 shade)
Dual Eyeshadow (5 variations)
Blend Cheeks (1 new shade)
Blend Lipstick (3 new shades)
Gloss & Lip Color (3 new variations, limited editions)
Eyeliner Creamy (3 new shades)
Mascara (3 versions: Volume N, Long N, and Volume Long N, all in black)

(SUQQU Dual Eyeshadow)

So far, none of the items has been calling out to me. But, as usual, I am very impressed by SUQQU’s visuals, which present a sophisticated mix of traditional and modern elements. They always leave a lasting impact and this is part of what sets SUQQU apart from many other Japanese brands.

(Outside Japan, SUQQU is available in Bangkok and London. Please see the list of retail points on SUQQU’s international site.)

Hi,

Very nice beauty blog you have here. Found your blog after searching information for makeup reviews. Thanks for the great information!

My name is Irene and I’m involved in an online beauty community website called http://www.ColorMeGorgeous.com. I was hoping that you would have a minute to check out the site and perhaps if you liked what you saw… write about it on your blog?

I may be going out on a limb by asking you for promotional help through your blog, but I hope you find ColorMeGorgeous.com to be as news worthy/helpful as I perceive it to be. There’s still a lot of work to be done with it, but I’m working on it. It’s hard to compete when you’re a small fish in a huge sea with huge sites like MUA and the likes, but I do what I can :) My favorite part of the site is the ‘critic’s corner’ where members can review or read up on various product reviews for makeup and skincare. Then there’s always the forum, the photo gallery, the ask a makeup artist page, etc.

Thanks for your time :)

Best,
Irene

Hi Irene,

Thank you for writing to me.

I placed a link to your site in April 2007 after being contacted. (The link is in the “Wealth of Information” list.) I will certainly let you know if I decide to write about your site on my blog.

Thank you again for your message.

I have been waiting eagserly for a post on Suqqu Fall. I have been loving Kirari from Spring – it is perfect for the hot and humid weather we have been having in London.

The image for the Fall collection looks stunning. I look forward to seeing it in person in London in September.

By the way – if you are looking for a cooler and deeper creamy lipstick, do try #7 – Asasuou. I’ve reviewed this one on http://www.emakemeup.com – I am panelist Grace there.

regards
Grace

Hi Grace,

The fall image for SUQQU does look beautiful. Even though the colors are quite intense, the image has an ethereal and atmospheric quality to it. They always do a good job with the seasonal ad images.

I also look forward to seeing the collection in London later.

Thank you for your comment and for your recommendation! :)
