Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion

While I am looking forward to the launch of Lunasol‘s limited-edition summer 2011 makeup collection, Lunasol has released news of an exclusive makeup kit for summer 2011, which will be available in five department stores in Japan from June 8th.
The Lunasol Summer Kit 2011 includes:

As many of you know, Kanebo (currently part of the Kao Group) is one of the largest beauty companies in Japan. It features department store brands/lines (Coffret d’Or, Blanchir, Lunasol, Impress, Chicca, etc.) as well as drugstore lines (Lavshuca, Kate, Media, etc.). In addition, it ultimately owns brands like SUQQU, RMK, and Lissage.
Over the years, I have tried eyeshadows from many Japanese brands/lines, and it seems to me that there is something common among many of the eyeshadows from Kanebo-owned brands/lines: the shimmer.
I am certainly not saying that all of Kanebo’s eyeshadows have the same shimmery finish or that non-Kanebo eyeshadows (Japanese or not) look nothing like Kanebo ones, but there is a shared trait regarding the shimmery finish and that is the way the shimmer creates dimension.

3rd: Magie Deco

Magie Deco’s spring 2011 Sugar Magic makeup collection features light lilacs and neutrals with a touch of green. The color combinations of Magie Deco’s eyeshadow palettes are usually slightly more unusual and unpredictable (see Magie Deco’s fall 2009 makeup collection), but the wearability of this collection and the soft looks that it can create are certainly appealing to me.

6th: THREE

THREE’s spring 2011 makeup collection features the brand’s first range of eyeshadow palettes, 4D Eye Palette. I like the interesting color combinations of neutral shades and a pop of color. These items continue to give the brand a distinctive look.

10th: Jill Stuart

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.

Lunasol will release its summer 2011 makeup collection in Japan on May 13th. In recent years, along with other items, Lunasol releases two eyeshadow palettes for summer in keeping with the spring makeup theme. (For spring 2011, the theme is Aquatic Purification.) Here is the first look at the two palettes, which I was really looking forward to.
The new items include:

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.
