Kate will release the summer 2008 collection in Japan on May 1st.

The collection includes:

– Rouge Trance S lipsticks: 8 shades
– Dual Carat eyeshadow duos: 3 new variations

The Dual Carat range has been popular, so I think the new additions will be very welcomed. The Rouge Trance S will be a range of sheer and mildly pigmented lipsticks focusing on creating transparent and dimensional lips.

This is my first summer 2008 makeup collection post, and I am looking forward to bringing you more!

This is the look of the new Sheer Stella 2008.

For the first time, the bottle design of Sheer Stella is not incorporating the romantic plum/pink color theme and goes for a fresh peachy pink tone, which reminds me of Stella in Two. Also, the cap appears to be silvery or white instead of the usual black.

According to Now Smell This, Sheer Stella 2008 has been updated to include notes of spicy white rose, peony, white freesia, pink pepper, white musk, and raspberry. To me, all the Sheer Stella fragrances (from 2004 to 2007) have been very similar. I am curious to see how different this will turn out to be.

In the UK, according to Debenhams, Sheer Stella 2008 will be sold exclusively in Debenhams in-store (from March 16) and on-line (from March 14), priced at £35. However, I suspect it will at least also be available at the Stella fragrance counter in Selfridges Oxford Street.

I am not going to say no to this…and I thought I was doing so well with my March beauty budget……
