The people behind Jill Stuart cosmetics (launched in Taiwan earlier this year) are certainly making sure they are part of the action this year. The picture above shows an exclusive set that will be available in SOGO Zhongxiao Branch’s anniversary event (November 6 -17). It includes a Mix Blush Compact (you can choose the shade you like), Lip Color Compact, Glitter Eye Color (in gold, the one that looks like a mini lip gloss), and an original box (which I think is exclusive to Taiwan). The set is priced at 1850 NTD (about 57 USD), which is very good value for money.
If you are a long-term Jill Stuart fan, you have probably just had a déjà vu moment (or maybe you already have some of these items). The Lip Color Compact and the Glitter Eye Color were part of Jill Stuart’s holiday collection in 2006. They could have been (re-)produced for the event in Taiwan, but I am not certain.
But I will worry less about the vanity case and the pouch below, both GWP items in the event.
You have probably seen both the case and the pouch as well. The round vanity case was originally a GWP in Japan which celebrated openings of two Jill Stuart counters. The pouch was part of the holiday 2006 set in Japan (that included the Glitter Eye Color above).
It seems that some of my readers in Asia have friends or relatives living in Taiwan. If you are interested in Jill Stuart and the event offers, here is some relevant information:
– Jill Stuart Cosmetics is currently available in Taipei’s SOGO Zhongxiao Branch (anniversary event: November 6 – 17) and Taipei’s Mitsukoshi New Life Square A8 Building (anniversary event: October 23 – November 24). (See contact information on Jill Stuart’s Taiwanese website.)
– You can see all the Jill Stuart event Information here. (It seems that there will be either a new counter or a temporary one at Kaohsiung’s Hanshin Arena.

I hope Jill Stuart will open a counter in HK soon.
as Taiwanese by birth, I am ashamed to admit that I don’t know much about it. Your city guide to taipei helped me a lot. I need to make another trip home soon so I can see all the beautiful mu at cheaper prices! I didn’t see Jill Stuart in all my previous trips back home. I guess I just missed it. I peeled my eyes on MUFE stuff then. LOL
Hi: I have been reading your blog for a while, since I am a big fan of japanese cosmetics just as you are. I have purchased a shiseido maquillage powder foundation on the internet, and i’m now thinking of buying a beaute de kose powder foundation as well(but just the refill), to be specific, the esprique precious line. Do u think the beaute de kose foundation refill would fit into the maquillage one? Your advice is highly appreciated.
Hi CC,
You have probably read in one of my earlier posts that it will open a counter in Hong Kong, and now I think the question is when that will happen. If you come across any news, do keep us posted!
Thank you for your comment again! :)
Hi Jojoba,
I was born in Taiwan as well. (I keep this blog strictly about beauty and I don’t really talk about my personal life.) I think I might only know a bit more because I came to the UK after you went to Malaysia.
Jill Stuart was only launched in Taiwan in late March this year, so you probably didn’t miss it. I hope you will get to see it if you plan to on your next trip back.
Thank you for your comment again! :)
Hi,
I see. I am not totally certain about this because I don’t currently own a rectangular refill from any line under the Kose company. But as far as I know, the refill sizes among the three major companies (Shiseido, Kanebo, and Kose) are all different (although refill sizes are usually the same within the various lines of the company). So, just to be safe, I would assume that the Esprique Precious refill doesn’t fit into the Maquillage case.
(But there can very occasionally be exceptions and sometimes the refill is smaller than the slot so you can still store it in the case…)
Hope it helps a little, and thank you for your question! :)

Hi Piglet230882,
In Taiwan, different department stores hold their anniversary events at different times, but they are all clustered between mid-October and mid-December. At the moment, I don't have the information on the individual events, but I will post another reply for you if I come across the information.
Thank you very much for your question! :)
Hi Piglet230882,
You can see the dates of the 2009 anniversary events (in various cities) in Taiwan here:
