My post on Lunasol’s fall 2009 collection has been updated with more item photos. There is one photo of the limited-edition Star Dust on Eyes, which looks very sparkly.
This marks the 1000th post on A Touch of Blusher. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been following my blog. You have helped me make it this far!

Jill Stuart’s summer 2009 collection includes a new Illuminance Eyes palette as well as items for lips and nails, but I am particularly interested in the new Jelly Eye Color N.
Jill Stuart’s (original) Jelly Eye Color is among the brand’s most popular products, but I have never tried it. (I much prefer powder eyeshadows.) Now that Jelly Eye Color N features an even more princessy packaging, there is almost no reason for me not to try at least one of the shades.
2. Lunasol

Lunasol’s summer 2009 collection continues the Floral Purification theme from spring. The plumeria series includes warm neutrals while the hibiscus series features vibrant cool pinks. The EX02 Summer Pink Gradation from the hibiscus series may be the last vibrant eye palette from Lunasol before fall’s slightly more sombre Stardrop Purification collection sets the scene for the rest of the year.
1. Coffret D’Or

Coffret D’Or’s summer 2009 collection is quite a sizable one, with a new lipstick range (Juicy Memory Rouge, 12 shades) and a new palette series (Color Mixing Eyes, 5 variations) among other items. Also, the early summer 2009 collection includes 8 new nail colors.

Lunasol will release its fall 2009 collection in Japan on August 21st. As mentioned earlier, the collection will have a “starry night” theme. The Stardrop Purification collection (my own translation) aims to capture the varying shades and glimmers of stars and sky at dust and night time. The collection features a new series of eyeshadow palettes, Star Shower Eyes, as well as Star Dust on Eyes, which promises to be very sparkly.
The whole lineup includes:
– Star Shower Eyes (5 variations)
– Star Dust on Eyes (2 shades, limited editions)
– Contrasting W Eyeliner (5 shades)
– High Stylize Mascara N (1 shade)
– Full Glamour Lips S (10 new shades)
– Full Glamour Gloss N (5 new shades)
– Nail Finish (5 new shades)
– Coloring Cheeks (2 new shades)
Please check out this post for the link to images of all the five Star Shower Eyes palettes. (I am liking the lilac and the neutral ones.)
