Shiseido’s Anessa is one of the most popular suncare ranges in Japan. The range features sunscreens (including one designed for babies), foundations, and a BB cream, all of which offer high levels of protection against UVA and UVB rays. The range also includes cleansers formulated to remove high-factor sun protection.
Currently, in Japanese cosmetics, the labels indicating the strengths of UVA protection are PA+, PA++, and PA+++. From January 2013, as a result of the advancement of UVA protection technology in Japan, the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association will introduce PA++++, an even higher level of UVA protection.
Anessa’s spring/summer 2013 suncare collection, which will be released in Japan on February 21st, features items with the PA++++ UVA-protection level. The collection includes (from left to right in the photo above):

Lavshuca released two Pure Blossoming Eyes Limited Edition Sets for summer 2012. Both sets (01 Pink and 02 Purple) looked very appealing to me, but I decided to go for 02 Purple mainly because the eyeshadow palette in the set reminded me of Lavshuca’s Eye Color Select in PU-1 from spring 2007 (with pale lilac, medium purple, dark blue, and pale yellow gold), a palette I regret not buying.
