The official website of Kosé’s Esprique has been launched. The site currently features product information, makeup tutorial videos (under Item) and TV commercials.

The current brand ambassador is Namie Amuro.

As I mentioned earlier, Esprique’s tagline is One Stroke Beauty, stressing the simple makeup application techniques. The tutorial videos demonstrate how this is achieved with each of the items in the lineup.

You can also check out my previous post for more information.

At the moment, I am choosing between A-1 and A-2 of Blend Dimensional Eyes, and I also like the look of Melty Fix Cheek and Aqua Drape Rouge.

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.

Esprique Summer 2011 Makeup Collection

Here is an image I came across on 2Channel of what should be Kosé Esprique‘ summer 2011 makeup collection. The line will be re-named “Esprique” (previously Esprique Precious) and there will be an image revamp. I quite like the look of the new eyeshadow palette.

It is interesting that two of the megabrands (Kanebo’s Coffret D’Or and Kosé’s Esprique Precious) are updating their images this year and bringing out black packaging. This means that all the megabrands (the two plus Shiseido’s Maquillage) will have items with black cases.

Also, the new look seems to resemble that of Kosé’s Visée.

I will update this post with more information later on.

Updated on March 1st, 2011:

(image/info from www.nikkei.com)

The collection includes:

– Blend Dimensional Eyes (Shiny) (5 variations)
– Melty Fix Cheek (4 shades)
– Aqua Drape Rouge (10 shades)

(image from www.nikkei.com)

“One Stroke Beauty” is the tagline of the line, as the items are designed to save time and they will be quick and easy to use. (The colors on the right side of the eyeshadow palettes are designed to be used separately or mixed together, and the lip colors will impart both color and gloss on the lips.)

The collection will be launched in Japan on March 25th and in the rest of Asia from May. The new brand website (esprique.com) will go live on March 25th.

Since Magie Deco was launched in fall 2007, it has been releasing lovely makeup coffrets for the holiday seasons. This year, Magie Deco Coffret IV includes a beautiful eyeshadow palette, with plum, light dusky pink, and light cool lilac. I like the eye palette for holiday 2009, but I think this year’s is even prettier.

(See the 2007 coffret here and the 2008 one here, and have a look at photos of the 2010 coffret on Autumn Masquerade.)
