Another season, another pink collection from Jill Stuart. Not surprisingly, the new Blush Blossom, launched in fall 2010, has proven to be a popular product, and there is one new color variation this season. Lip Luster was re-packaged to become Lip Jewel, which looks even prettier.

My Japanese Cosmetics Focus series is back today with Satishe.

Satishe is the name of the color makeup range of CP Cosmetics, which also carries the skincare range Soigne and the base makeup range Delitia as well as haircare and bodycare products. The line features items for face, eyes, lips, cheeks and nails.

(CP Cosmetics is part of StylingLife Holdings Inc. BCL Company*, under which there are other beauty brands such as Makemania (which carries the ultra-popular Curvy Lip Silicone), Vecua and Love Clover.)

Satishe doesn’t boast dramatic colors or dazzling shimmer. The line offers wearable colors suitable for most work and casual occasions. One of the key items of the line is the eyeshadow palette Soft Veil Eyeshadow. The design of the palettes and the color combinations remind me of some of Lunasol’s early eyeshadow palettes (particularly Intellectual Eyes).

Kanebo Lunasol Skin Modeling Eyes Kit Beige Beige Spring Summer 2011 Makeup 1(image/info from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/lunasol)

.

On March 23rd, Lunasol will release Skin Modeling Eyes Kit in collaboration with Biteki magazine and makeup artist Masaru Hamada. The limited-edition kit includes Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (Lunasol’s all-time best-seller) and an original pouch.

Each purchase will also come with a deluxe sample (4g) of Lip Essence (for Day). (The full-size product is 7g.)

Released in spring 2007, Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (usually referred to simply as Beige Beige by Lunasol fans) has reached a legendary status as an ultimate neutral eyeshadow palette. This is not the first time that Beige Beige is featured in a limited-edition kit. In 2008, it was included in Lunasol’s 10th Anniversary Makeup Palette. Last year, it was part of the brand’s Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit.
