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.

(See my A Splash of Color: Lilting Lilac (Part 1), (Part 2) & (Part 3).) After a relatively short hiatus, it is great to see purple back on trend for spring 2014. Here are my top 10 purple picks for this season:

Releases like this do make me think that time flies. It doesn’t seem that long ago when Lunasol celebrated its 10th anniversary, and the celebratory collection at the time featured a makeup palette with the brand’s best-selling eyeshadow palette, Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige. In 2014, the brand reaches another milestone and will release its 15th anniversary makeup collection in Japan on February 11th. The collection includes:
