Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Kanebo has updated its website to include the report (and photos) from the pre-launch party for some of its makeup lines: Kate, Lavshuca, and Tiffa.
Everything looks yummy…and I am still loving Lavshuca’s lip colors and eyeshadow palettes.

“Daring Contrast” is the theme of YSL’s fall 2007 collection. The contrast is between very pale and intensely dark shades, as we see from the limited-edition Palette Couture, with a pattern of the back of a couture gown.
There are some luxurious looking eyeshadow duos, also with a little bit of that light/dark contrast.
The collection also includes:
Rouge Pure Shine Sheer Lipstick: four colors
Rouge Pur (Pure Lipstick): two colors
Variation Blush: one color
Everlong Mascara: one color
Shimmering Eyeliner: one color
La Laque (Long-lasting Nail Lacquer): two colors

Today I came across a photo of NARS fall 2007 collection.
Named “Modern Odyssey”, NARS’ latest collection features muted and sophisticated shades, including a duo with lovely neutral tones.
To be honest, if I’d seen this photo this time last year, I wouldn’t have been interested at all….
Years ago, I started my love for makeup with universally flattering neutral shades. Later on, I developed a taste for soft and shimmery pastel shades and slightly bolder colors. Cool tones like aquamarine, turquoise, lilac, and cool-pink are my favorites.
But it seems that now I am consciously re-embracing neutral tones. Recently I have been experimenting with neutral eye makeup with shades from different brands. Mixing and matching is great fun (and it makes me look at my past purchases in a new light), but I would very much like to get a couple of nice neutral-tone eyeshadow palettes, possibly from all the new fall 2007 releases. (Guerlain and Lavshuca are on my list at the moment.)
I will never desert my lovely pastel eyeshadow palettes (I love my Lavshuca and Jill Stuart), but do look out for some fresh development on my new-found fondness for neutrals!

See a photo of part of the collection here.
The collection features:
a new line of liquid lip colors (10 shades, seen in link above)
6 eyeshadow palettes (2 seen in link above)
1 liquid eyeliner
2 new shades of Jewelry Lips lipsticks
1 new shade of Eye Color Select palette
The attention grabber of the new collection is the revolutionary liquid lip colors, which will have a highly viscous consistency. I imagine it is between a very syrupy lip gloss and a very creamy lipstick (half-liquid and half-solid). The twist-dispenser with the delicate heart-shape opening will really showcase this consistency.
Who knows?
Some people think that the makeup and skincare innovations in Japan are at least one decade ahead of the Western counterpart*. Maybe this is the perfect formula of combining the color intensity of lipsticks and the shine of lip glosses.Lip colors that are both highly pigmented and ultra-glossy? Can’t wait to try them!
*Next week I will talk about a certain pressed powder that has taken the Japanese market by storm.
