It is great to see that YSL will be releasing Blush Volupté for fall 2014 as a permanent item after teasing us with the limited-edition Blush Volupté Rose Gold in Loulou from the Rose Glow Collection. Like the Couture Palettes, the look of the product is inspired by the Mondrian dresses designed by Yves Saint Laurent. Nine variations will be available, and there is a good range of colors, from cool pink to bronze. I am liking 1, 3, 4 and 5 at the moment.
Have a look at the other eight variations:

Dior will release an exclusive makeup collection to mark the opening of Dior Perfume & Beauty Omotesando Boutique in Tokyo. The limited-edition Omotesando Collection will be exclusive to the boutique, which will open at Omotesando Hills (a shopping complex) on Omotesando on October 9th.
The collection includes the Fleurs des Vents blusher, a 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette and two Rouge Dior lipsticks. Inspired by windmills, the star of the collection is the gorgeous Fleurs des Vents, with the four letters of “Dior” stylishly and beautifully arranged. (It is simply too pretty to be used!)

– I had a look at SHISEIDO’s Face Color Enhancing Trios for fall 2014 (£32 each). I was interested in PK1 (Lychee) (particularly the pink blusher), but the blusher shade turned out to be very pale. The whole variation was more for finishing and highlighting. All the other three variations didn’t really suit my skin tone.

Biteki.com has posted information on Ayura‘s holiday 2014 makeup collection. The limited-edition Dress Aura Up Coffret (¥6300) will be released in Japan on November 23rd.
The set includes a face powder, a lip gloss, a mini mascara, a lip serum, a hand cream and a makeup pouch. It is nice to see some new makeup items from Ayura as there haven’t been many new makeup releases from the brand since early last year.

Back in May, I was a little surprised to see that Paul & Joe would be releasing ten Lipstick Cases CS for fall 2014. (I suppose they do go hand-in-hand with all the new lipsticks (thirteen regular ones and three limited editions).) It was also a surprise for me that five of them would feature prints from past years, which I didn’t think would happen, even though the brand occasionally used past prints for its GWP items.
I stopped by Harrods earlier this month to have a look and I purchased seven of them. I also went for Lipstick in 107 Rose Sorbet, which is a very pretty rose pink and one of the thirteen new regular shades, but let’s look at the new Lipstick Cases CS today.
