3rd: SUQQU

.

SUQQU’s fall 2011 makeup collection is a relatively small but perfectly formed collection. Earlier I reviewed Blend Color Eyeshadow in 08 Mizuaoi & Face Color Palette in EX-01, and they are both beautiful items. The eyeshadows are gorgeously creamy and Face Color Palette is a solid multi-purposed product.

When I reviewed SUQQU’s Creamy Glow Lipsticks in April, I mentioned that I thought SUQQU would probably bring out a sheerer range of lipsticks in the next few seasons. It turned out that I was right. I tested the limited-edition Creamy Glow Lipsticks Moist at the SUQQU counter, and they are considerably sheerer than the very intensely pigmented Creamy Glow Lipsticks. (But they are not overly sheer.) They also have a glossy finish that appeals to me. I hope there will be a more permanent range of sheer and glossy lipsticks from SUQQU later on.

Primavista, Kao Sofina‘s base makeup line, was launched in September 2008 to replace my beloved Raycious. On November 15th, Sofina will release Primavista Dea, a sub-line of Primavista that is designed for consumers over fifty. According to Kao (which owns the Sofina brand), the range incorporates “pure blossom powder” to help target the appearance of large pores and sallowness.

Primavista Dea’s launch collection for fall/winter 2011 includes:

Dior Blue-Tie 001 Smoking Blue Fall 2011 Makeup 1

.

When I first came across images of Dior‘s fall 2011 Blue Tie makeup collection, I was instantly attracted to the stunning case of Dior Blue-Tie. Available in two variations, it features four eyeshadows and one lip color. I was not crazy about either of the two color combinations, but, not wanting to get four off-whites in 002 Smoking White, I decided to pick up 001 Smoking Blue with my Boots points.

6th: Elégance

.

I like the simple and elegant packaging of the new Mirage Eyes and Genteel Face from Elégance’s fall 2011 makeup collection. The details on the mirrors are a nice touch. Mirage eyes features some very wearable colors, and the warmer browns and the olive green have especially caught my attention.
