Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Soft and feminine, Chanel‘s spring 2012 makeup collection showcases pinks and peaches and is truly spring-like. Today I am highlighting four items from the collection: Blush Horizon de Chanel, Rouge Coco Shine in 68 Candeur, Lèvres Scintillantes in 181 Bagatelle, and Rouge Coco Baume.

With purple, green, blue, and orange paired with brown, silver and gray, RMK‘s spring 2012 Sprinkling Colors makeup collection has bursts of color as well as touches of neutral hues. Today I am reviewing three items from the lineup: Sprinkling Eyes in 01 Brown, Ingenious Natural Eyes N in 07 Purple, and Sprinkling Cheeks in 03 Brown.

Kanebo Coffret d’Or‘s Wide Gradation Eyes is from the line’s spring/summer 2012 makeup collection. As most of Coffret d’Or’s eyeshadow palettes contain four shades, the new series, with five shades in each variation, certainly caught my attention. Four variations are available, and I decided to go for 04 Deep Brown.

I still remember seeing Paul & Joe Beauté‘s beautiful debut collection for spring 2002 in Biteki magazine. Over the years, the style of the packaging has remained the same, which I think is one of the elements that reflect the success of the line. It is the combination of the soft and feminine product packaging design and the seasonal fashion-inspired Collections Sparkles, which are based on designer Sophie Albou’s catwalk creations.
Paul & Joe’s spring 2012 Meow! makeup collection celebrates the line’s 10th anniversary, and the inspiration of the collection is Albou’s love of cats. Today I am featuring Face & Eye Color CS in 078 Purr-fect and Lipstick C in 077 Catwalk.

Last fall, Sisley released Skinleÿa Anti-Aging Lift Foundation, which promises to even out the complexion and restore freshness of the skin. It is available in nine shades, and today I am featuring 00 Light Linen, the lightest shade of the lineup.

Happy New Year, everyone!
In my first post in 2012, I will be sharing my thoughts on Visée‘s Glam Glow Eyes in GR-4. The Glam Glow Eyes series (available in 5 variations) is from Visée’s fall 2011 makeup collection. I have previously reviewed BR-3.

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:
