Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Precious Garden caught my attention in a similar way Aroma Resort did as I found the look of the line fresh and colorful. Obviously there was no guarantee that the products themselves would be just as appealing, but I did decide to try Hand Cream in Honey Peach. I am very glad that I did.

Kanebo Coffret d’Or launched Full Smile Eyes as part of the line’s late summer/ early fall 2014 makeup collection. Four variations were released for the collection, and additional ones were released later on. Today I will be focusing on 01 Apricot Beige from the collection.

Among the items from SUQQU‘s fall 2014 makeup collection, what piqued my interest was neither Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-21 (with eight shades) nor the new Eye Color Palette range. It was the new shades of Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist that caught my attention. I didn’t walk away with any of them after testing them for the first time, but I did decide to go for 09 Zakuroseki a few months later.

Stella McCartney‘s Stella Eau de Parfum is one of my favorite fragrances. When I heard about its relaunch last July, I was worried that the scent would be tweaked. Even though the information I came across at the time suggested that it would remain the same, I thought I would only be convinced when I had a chance to smell it. Now I am relieved to say that it is the same, and today I will talk more about this well-crafted fragrance.

For fall/winter 2014, Estée Lauder launched the Enlighten skincare range in the UK in October. The new range is claimed to “help brighten the look of dark spots, sun spots, blemish marks, dullness and redness”. The range currently features three items: Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum, Even Skintone Correcting Creme and E.E Even Effect Skintone Corrector SPF 30. Today I am reviewing the first two items.

In the last couple of years, Canmake has been releasing new items almost every month, and it is not always easy to group them into seasonal releases. Glow Fleur Highlighter was released in July and Mat Fleur Cheeks was released in October, and I am considering them to be fall 2014 items. Both products are follow-ups to Glow Fleur Cheeks, released in fall 2013. Glow Fleur Highlighter looks really pretty, but I think Mat Fleur Cheeks looks even better.

I stopped by SHOWstudio in London to see Noritaka Tatehana’s SHOWcabinet exhibition a few weeks ago after watching a program about him on NHK World (Rising Artist, October 1st, 2014).
Tatehana gained worldwide attention after his heel-less shoes were worn by Lady Gaga, and the NHK World program highlighted his inspiration and techniques as well as documented his process of putting together the SHOWcabinet exhibition.

Dior’s 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes have been renewed for the brand’s fall 2014 makeup collection. Even though I don’t fancy getting any from the launch lineup at the moment, it does feature a good range of colors and finishes. I am sure we will see more variations soon.
