Looking like a box of candy, Cosme Decorte AQ MW’s holiday 2014 King of Sweets makeup collection presents some seasonal treats. Inside the bright and festive packaging are very wearable colors for the eyes, cheeks and lips. They create a fresh and sophisticated look that works all year round.

Jill Stuart will release its spring 2015 Ribbon Couture makeup collection in Japan on January 9th.
There will be a new eyeshadow palette series, Ribbon Couture Eyes, which is the brand’s first series of five-color eyeshadow palettes. The five variations feature mostly neutral (not pink, surprisingly) shades. I am liking Gemmy Cashmere at the moment. (Hydrangea Chiffon looks lovely and spring-like but is probably too pastel-y for me.) I think the case looks quite pretty too.
The new variation of Layer Blush Compact includes milky cinnamon pinks, which have a quaint and elegant feel.

Dior’s 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes have been renewed for the brand’s fall 2014 makeup collection. Even though I don’t fancy getting any from the launch lineup at the moment, it does feature a good range of colors and finishes. I am sure we will see more variations soon.

Since I reviewed Jill Stuart‘s Mix Blush Compact in 01 Baby Blush, I have been going back to it quite frequently and it has gradually become one of my favorite blushers. In spring 2013, Jill Stuart not only released a new blusher, Layer Blush Compact, but also brought out Mix Blush Compact N (a revamped version of the original). There were ten blushers in the collection altogether, which was great for a blusher enthusiast like me. I was keen to try Layer Blush Compact, and I decided to go for 01 Baby Berry.

There is something quite Japanese about Bobbi Brown’s Surf & Sand Eye Palettes for summer 2014. Japanese beauty lines, such as Lunasol, often release eyeshadow palettes with warm neutrals and those with combinations of neutrals and greens/blues for summer, and the Surf & Sand Eye Palettes remind me of them.
