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.

I like the glamorous look of the Aura Beauty pressed powder in the Aura Beauty set for Maquillage’s holiday 2011 makeup collection, as well as the grater (Blend Sharpener) that turns the pressed powder into loose powder, which can be used with the Face Brush included in the set. The deluxe mirror and the pouch complete this limited-edition set beautifully.

Among RMK’s Christmas Palettes, the 2011 edition is certainly one of the better ones in terms of mix-and-match possibilities of the eyeshadows and blushers. For me, the highlights of the set are the blushers and the lip gloss. The collaboration with Kate Spade makes this limited-edition set extra special.
