2013 Fall

Kanebo Chicca Flush Blush Powder 04 Sweet Pink Fall 2013 Makeup 1

.

Ever since Chicca‘s debut in spring 2008, I had been wanting to try something from the brand. (See my profile of the brand here.) I was fairly interested in Flush Blush (a cream blusher), which was in the brand’s launch lineup. However, I thought I’d wait for a powder-based blusher to be released. (I tend to prefer powder-based blushers.) To my delight, Flush Blush Powder was launched as part of the brand’s spring/summer 2013 base makeup collection, and I purchased 04 Sweet Pink in 2014.

Kose Visee Glossy Rich Eyes BR-5 Gold Brown Fall 2013 Makeup 1

.

Kosé Visée had a major renewal in fall 2013. The line used to have an edgy vibe but it did start to release items with a more feminine look before the revamp. The new look, with dark cases and intricate details, appears to be quite popular. One of the three eyeshadow palette series launched in fall 2013 is Glossy Rich Eyes, and I decided to go for BR-5 Gold Brown.

.

I have been picking up at least one variation of each of Kanebo Coffret d’Or‘s eyeshadow palette series since the launch of the line in 2007. With 3D Gradation Eyes, released as part of Coffret d’Or’s late summer/ early fall 2013 makeup collection, I was choosing between 02 Mint Brown and 04 Rose Purple. I decided to go for 02 Mint Brown.

.

In 2010, Visée started to release items with a more feminine style of packaging, and I particularly like the look of Glam Glow Eyes from fall 2011. (I tried BR-3 & GR-4.) The line’s fall 2013 makeup collection, featuring 29 new products (25 regular products and 4 limited editions), began a new chapter for the line. The image of the line is feminine and sensual, and, among the new products, Glossy Rich Eyes (far left in the image above) and Blend Color Cheeks (third from the right) stand out for me. I certainly look forward to seeing more items in the future.

The highlight of Addiction’s fall 2013 makeup collection for me is the new Cheek Polish. Like Cheek Stick, which was launched in summer 2011, this is an eye-catching item (which looks like a nail polish) for the cheeks.

.

Lavshuca’s fall 2013 makeup collection features red cases for the products. This is a new look for the line, but I still prefer the original (pre-fall-2012) packaging. I like some of the variations of Melty Heart Eyes and the gradational look of Melty Trick Cheeks in this collection.
