Here is a look at Dior‘s summer 2014 Transat makeup collection. The seasonal limited-edition collector’s item is the Diorskin Nude Tan Transat Edition. Initially, I thought it looked just like some of the Diorskin Nude bronzing powders from the last couple of years. However, the Transat Edition is more of a champagne-gold finishing powder. I like the rope design details, which evoke a sense of journey and adventure.
Let’s have a look at some of the items in the rest of the collection:

In the last few years, Kao Sofina Primavista has been releasing two limited-edition powder foundation cases each year, one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. These cases generally don’t catch my attention as much as those from Raycious (Sofina’s previous base makeup range), but the upcoming Limited Compact Case (¥1050) for spring/summer 2014 stands out for me. Shades of pink are joined by fresh aqua blue and lime yellow, and the case looks colorful and cheerful.
