I am sure most of you have seen almost all the coverage of the Holiday 2007 collections and have probably purchased some. But if you need some more material to help you decide, have a look at the on-line excerpt of the December 2007 issue of Biteki magazine, which presents a definitive coverage of Holiday 2007 items.

This issue is now out in Japan and should be available in Japanese bookstores in many other countries within the next few weeks. (Mine should be ready for collection in JP Books in London in the next couple of days.)

Compared with last year, not many items have made it to my provisional shopping list. So far, I have three items:

Dior DiorLight pendant

MAC Antiquitease Royal Assets palettes
(I might pick up either a lip or an eye palette.)

There is a third item, which I shall reveal tomorrow!

Which item has made the cut for you?

Hi PJ,

I knew I shouldn’t have looked at Biteki online…

The Magie Deco is definitely on my list as is the Lunasol and I am lemming the MJ powder (the 4 types of pearls did me in).

The CdP is already available in the US. It’s a wonderful palette of shimmer powders. Once the glitter overspray is gone it’s very glam; I like it better without the overspray.

I hope the Biteki issue gets to you soon!

Cheers,
Betsy

Hi PJ

I am in the UK too but oop north – do you know where I can get this magazine by mail order? I have found it on international websites but the shipping is extortionate?

Thankyou!!

Hi Betsy,

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your wish list!

Thank you as well for telling me about Cle de Peau, since we don’t have it here in the UK…

I quite like the look of the Magie Deco powder. I always like the classic round powder compact..

As usual, I like the AYURA set. But this year, almost all the items are similar to what I already have. So I will probably skip this one. (Well, it probably also means I already have got too many AYURA items…)

I got a phone call today notifying me that the December Biteki has arrived. I am going to collect it next week or a bit later.

Thank you again for stopping by! :)

Hello Rowena,

Have you tried phoning JP Books in Mitsukoshi Department Store (which I have mentioned in my post on Biteki)? Their contact page is here. But, specifically, the number directly to JP Books is 020-7839-4839 (which is not listed on the page).

I believe they do mail the issues to subscribers in the UK, but I am not sure how much they charge for postage.

Also, you can try contacting Japan Centre, but I am not entirely sure whether they do customer subscriptions to magazines.

If you have any other question, please do feel free to e-mail me. You can find the e-mail icon near the top of the page.

Thank you again for leaving a comment! :)
