Launched on May 18th in Japan, SUQQU‘s Blend Color Eyeshadow in 12 Konruri (the only makeup release from SUQQU for summer 2012) replaces 01 Kakitsubata (launched in fall 2010 and discontinued on May 17th in Japan). While they do appear similar, both their color tones and color compositions are considerably different and I think most people are likely to have a clear preference for one over the other. Today I am taking a closer look at 12 Konruri.

Kanebo Lavshuca’s official website has been relaunched today and is now featuring the line’s fall 2012 makeup collection, which will be released in Japan on August 1st. The revamped website reflects the brand new look of the products and a new era for Lavshuca.
The existing products are still listed under All Items. Presumably they will still be available for a while but they will probably be slowly phased out over the next few seasons.

Paul & Joe’s summer 2012 Midsummer Nights makeup collection features limited-edition minty-green packaging and some eye-catching items, but I prefer the light-blue packaging from the summer 2011 collection and I also prefer the blue lip gloss from summer 2011 (Lip Gloss B in 001 L’Horizon Bleu) to the green lip gloss this season (Lip Gloss G in 002 Fairie Kisses). I do love the floral print of Blotting Paper 2012, which I will highlight a little later.

10th: Lunasol

Lunasol’s summer 2012 makeup collection is a continuation of soft colors from the line’s spring 2012 collection. Even the rich blues and golden bronzes often seen in Lunasol’s summer makeup collections are replaced by powder blue and cool beige. The powder blue in Petal Pure Eyes in EX02 Fresh Coral (below) is the only non-pink/peach/neutral eyeshadow shade from Lunasol so far this year.

Today my Stash Debut 2012 series continues with Muji Eye Color (4 Color Type) in Plum 01.
Apart from homeware, clothing, and food, the Japanese lifestyle brand Muji carries health and beauty products, which include skincare, bodycare, haircare, and makeup items. I have been using Muji’s Mild Oil Cleansing (note it is no longer available in the UK), and today I am sharing my thoughts on my first makeup purchase from Muji.

It was Calvin Klein‘s beauty line from the 90’s that prompted me to start my Bring It Back series back in 2007, and it was an coincidence that news of the relaunch arrived shortly afterwards.
The line was relaunched in the UK in spring 2008, and I posted my review of Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder, which I purchased in House of Fraser on London’s Oxford Street. However, within a year or so, the line disappeared again.
