Kose Cosme Decorte AQ MW Marcel Wanders Fall 2010 1(images/info from www.nikkei.com)

.

On November 16th, Kosé Cosme Decorte will launch Cosme Decorte AQ MW, a new sister line to the existing AQ (Absolute Quality) line (the highest-end line of Cosme Decorte). The launch is to celebrate Cosme Decorte’s 40th anniversary.

Even though, according to Cosme Decorte, MW officially stands for Miracle Wonder, the acronym is presumably based on the initials of Dutch industrial designer Marcel Wanders, who collaborated with Cosme Decorte to design the packaging of the products. The beautifully elaborate packaging is reminiscent of Wanders’ crochet designs. (See more of his crochet designs here.)

The line focuses on the skincare and aromatherapy properties of sandalwood extract. (But do note that sandalwood extract may be a skin irritant for some people.)

The launch lineup includes:

– Cleansing Milk
– Facial Bar
– Repair Emulsion
– Repair Lotion
– Repair Serum
– Essential Balm
– Cream Excellent
– Massage Cream
– Facial Mask Duo

The prices range from 4725 JPY (Facial Bar (refill)) to 31500 JPY (Cream Excellent).

Sofina Aube Couture will release Designing Puffy Cheek in Japan on December 7th. (Cosme.Net hasn’t mentioned how many shades will be available.)

I am assuming that this is part of Aube Couture’s spring 2011 makeup collection. (The line tends to release its seasonal collections relatively early. Its fall 2010 makeup collection was out on June 15th.) I will update this post with more information later on.
