Kanebo Lunasol will release its fall/winter 2010 base makeup collection in Japan on September 10th. The new items include:

– Water Cream Foundation N (SPF19, PA++, 6 shades)
– Tone-Up Makeup Base (SPF19, PA++)
– Skin Contrast Face Powder (2 shades)

It seems that Water Cream Foundation N will replace Water Cream Foundation and that Skin Contrast Face Powder will replace Micro Finish Powder N. I have been interested in trying Micro Finish Powder N (in 02 Natural Beige) for quite some time (since I wrote this post). I might have to get it soon before it is discontinued……



On the same day, Lunasol will also release new skincare products. They are:

– Fast Skin Adjuster (pre-toner)
– Moist Conditioner (toner)
– Balancing Milk OC/SO (moisturizing milk)
– Wrapping Skin Repair (moisturizing Cream)

Here is a look at Paul & Joe‘s fall 2010 Clair de Lune makeup collection. The collection features:

– Face & Eye Color CS (three variations: Silver Moon, Paper Moon, Blue Moon)

– Lipstick C (3 shades: Clair de Lune, Over the Moon, Moon Shadow)

– Face Color (3 variations: Luna, Harvest Moon, Pagan)




All the items in this collection are limited editions.

This is a pleasantly colorful collection, and I think many of the items will sell well. (I also like the promotional image at the top.) However, I am not really a fan of the cat lipsticks……

Shiseido Maquillage will release its fall/winter 2010 base makeup collection in Japan on August 21st. The collection includes:

– Treatment Lasting Compact UV (cream-to-powder foundation, SPF24, PA++, 7 shades)
– Moisture Forming Powdery UV (SPF20, PA++, 7 shades)

The foundation cases are sold separately. (Both cases look quite pretty. I particularly like the one for the powder foundation.)

Kanebo Coffret D’Or will release its fall/winter 2010 base makeup collection in Japan on September 1st. The collection includes:

– Silky Fit Pact (SPF20, PA++, 7 shades)
– Silky Fit Cream Foundation (SPF21, PA++, 7 shades)
– Melty Essence Fix (primer, SPF24, PA++)
– Creamy Cover Fix (primer, SPF 21, PA++)
– Moist Flat Coat (primer for eye and lip areas)

I wonder what color combinations the two Beauty C Curve Eyes palettes will feature. A purple one, perhaps?

Details and photo of the two new (limited-edition) variations:

Even though, according to this image, the plum in 07 Plum Wine might be a little too dark for me, I am still quite interested in trying the palette.

You can see more images of the collection here.
