.

I remember the excitement I had when I first saw the makeup collections from Anna Sui, Paul & Joe, Jill Stuart, and Lavshuca. It was the combination of gorgeously princessy packaging and beautifully feminine and eye-catching colors, and, with their high quality, all of the four are among my favorite makeup lines.

In spring 2012, there will be a new princess in the kingdom, as French macaroon maker Ladurée teams up with Albion (which is under Kosé) to launch Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée, a series of point and base makeup products. This is not the first time a cosmetics line from a western brand is licensed under Kosé. The company has an impressive track record with Anna Sui’s, Paul & Joe’s, and Jill Stuart’s beauty lines.

The star item of Les Merveilleuses de Ladurée’s debut collection for spring 2012 is Face Color Rose Ladurée (above, 3 variations, refill ¥7350, case ¥3150), in which the blusher powder is pressed into rose-petal shapes. It looks absolutely dreamy.

The rest of the collection includes:
