Paul and Joe Lipstick 104 Lipstick Case P 002 Fall 2012 Makeup 1

.

For fall 2012, Paul & Joe has revamped its lipstick range and brought out twenty new shades as well as six limited-edition shades. These shades fall into three categories: Clear, Natural, and Full Pigment. They are sold as refills, and alongside them are new lipstick cases. There are one regular case (Lipstick Case) and six limited-edition cases (five Lipstick Cases P and one Lipstick Case L). I was instantly attracted to the beautifully colorful Lipstick Case P 002. I decided to pick up this case and Lipstick in 104 Mademoiselle.

Kanebo Coffret d'Or Beauty Face Shadow 02 Cream Brown Summer Fall 2012 Makeup 1

.

As some of you might have noticed from my reviews, I generally haven’t been overly impressed by many of Coffret d’Or‘s recent eyeshadow palettes. All of my favorite palettes from the line were from the earliest seasonal collections…until I tried Beauty Face Shadow in 02 Cream Brown (from Coffret d’Or’s late summer/ early fall 2012 makeup collection).

Aube Couture’s fall 2012 makeup collection includes four new variations of Designing Impression Eyes. Both 561 and 563 look appealing to me, and I have bought and tried 561 (above).  I have slight issues with a couple of shades in the palette, but it generally works well for me. I also love the gorgeous limited-edition case design.

Lavshuca’s fall 2012 makeup collection marks the start of the line’s image revamp. I have to say I don’t particularly like the new look, but the two new Lav Hearty Eyes palettes are eye-catching. I like the combination of pink and purple in PK-1 (above) as well as the golden brown in BG-1 (below).

.

Dior’s fall 2012 makeup collection features a variety of neutral and green tones. With most of Dior’s seasonal collections, the limited-edition star items were the ones that grabbed my attention first. However, with this collection, I prefer the 5 Couleurs palette in 774 Golden Savannah (above), the 5 Couleurs Designer palette in 308 Khaki Design (below), and the 3 Couleurs Glow palette in 651 Nude Glow (below) to the Golden Jungle palettes.

I was instantly attracted to the combination of lilac and dark blue in 561 Purple as well as the design of the case. With good experiences with Designing Impression Eyes in 553 Purple, I decided to go for this palette.
