Dior’s summer 2010 makeup collection is the only collection from a western brand in my top ten for this season. Besides Addicted to Dior, the two 5-Colour Iridescent palettes, 649 Ready-to-Glow and 659 Crush Glow, are also highlights of the collection. (I prefer the warmer Crush Glow (above).)
2nd: Magie Deco

I actually didn’t pay too much attention to Magie Deco’s summer 2010 collection until I saw images of the collection on the official website. I was fascinated by the cheerful and summery (as well as chic and glamorous) Shadow Brilliance II in LC034 Latina Beauty. Interestingly, the color combination looks somewhat similar to that of Dior’s Crush Glow (above), with yellow gold, salmon pink, and chocolate brown.
1st: Lunasol

I have not been an avid fan of Kosé’s Visée. I have only purchased one product from the line (Dual Shine Rouge Palette for holiday 2006), and the packaging and the brand image generally don’t appeal to me. But Visée’s new eyeshadow palette series for fall 2010, Blossom Eyes, is looking pretty good. I am liking the floral patterns, although the case may look too plastic-y in person.
Visée’s fall 2010 makeup collection includes:
– Blossom Eyes (5 variations)
– Lash Blossom Volume (1 shade)
– Lash Blossom Long (1 shade)
The collection will be released in Japan on June 16th.
You can see the promotional image of the collection and the five Blossom Eyes palettes here.

Earlier this year, I finally got my first item from Magie Deco (Shadow Brilliance II in Foxy Lady). It didn’t disappoint me, and I will definitely look out for other things to try. For spring 2010, there are blue, green, and purple as well as more soft neutrals. I particularly like LC033 White Crystal Opal and DC031 Pink Opal. (White Crystal Opal looks a lot warmer in photos in Biteki than it does in the image above.)
2. Lunasol

I tend to be more excited about Lunasol’s palette series for spring than those for fall, and Nature Color Eyes from the spring 2010 collection is another beautifully colorful range from one of my favorite makeup lines in the last ten years. I like the warmth in 03 Nature Brown and the soft colors in 05 Nature Colorful. (If the liner shade in Nature Colorful were a deep purple, I would probably consider buying it.)

Addiction will release its summer 2010 makeup collection in Japan on April 23rd. The collection features:
– Limited Compact Le Mépris* (above, with two eyeshadows and a blusher)
– Eyeshadow (1 new shade)

– Eyeliner Pencil (1 new shade)

– Lipstick (1 new shade)

– Lip Gloss (1 new shade)

– Blush (1 new shade)

All the items in this collection are limited editions.
(*I am guessing that the name Le Mépris is based on the 1963 French film Le Mépris (Contempt), starring Brigitte Bardot. Have a look at the movie poster, which might possibly be part of the inspiration of the palette.)
