The Lunasol Summer Kit 2011 includes:

RMK‘s Gloss Lips N was launched in Japan on December 3rd last year (and later that month in the UK) to replace Gloss Lips, which was among the brand’s best-selling items. Could the new version be just as popular?
Gloss Lips N is currently available in 20 shades in 4 finishes (CL (Clear), P (Pearl), H (Holographic), and SH (Shiny)), and today I am highlighting P-03 Rose Brown. (The three limited-edition lip glosses in RMK’s spring 2011 makeup collection are simply called Gloss, which is a different product.)

One of my readers, Kerry, has mentioned her concern (which I am sure is shared by many others) about using beauty products manufactured in Japan since the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as a result of the earthquake on March 11th.
To ensure the safety of the production process and of the use of the products, Japan Cosmetic Industry Association issued a statement on March 30th. You can read the English version here. This is a direct translation from the Japanese version, which has been posted on official websites of many Japanese beauty brands.

For summer 2011, Addiction will release Cheek Stick in Japan on May 20th. Available in 8 shades, the product looks like a lipstick but is used predominantly as a blusher. According to Voce, it can also be used for the eyes and lips.

As many of you know, Kanebo (currently part of the Kao Group) is one of the largest beauty companies in Japan. It features department store brands/lines (Coffret d’Or, Blanchir, Lunasol, Impress, Chicca, etc.) as well as drugstore lines (Lavshuca, Kate, Media, etc.). In addition, it ultimately owns brands like SUQQU, RMK, and Lissage.
Over the years, I have tried eyeshadows from many Japanese brands/lines, and it seems to me that there is something common among many of the eyeshadows from Kanebo-owned brands/lines: the shimmer.
I am certainly not saying that all of Kanebo’s eyeshadows have the same shimmery finish or that non-Kanebo eyeshadows (Japanese or not) look nothing like Kanebo ones, but there is a shared trait regarding the shimmery finish and that is the way the shimmer creates dimension.
