I didn’t think I would be able to get this……
Chanel’s Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in 387 Wish is from the brand’s limited-edition Tokyo Happening collection in summer 2009. The initial news I came across was that the collection was exclusive to Japan and Taiwan. There was then further news that it would be available in America.

My Japanese Cosmetics Focus series is back today with Satishe.
Satishe is the name of the color makeup range of CP Cosmetics, which also carries the skincare range Soigne and the base makeup range Delitia as well as haircare and bodycare products. The line features items for face, eyes, lips, cheeks and nails.
(CP Cosmetics is part of StylingLife Holdings Inc. BCL Company*, under which there are other beauty brands such as Makemania (which carries the ultra-popular Curvy Lip Silicone), Vecua and Love Clover.)

Satishe doesn’t boast dramatic colors or dazzling shimmer. The line offers wearable colors suitable for most work and casual occasions. One of the key items of the line is the eyeshadow palette Soft Veil Eyeshadow. The design of the palettes and the color combinations remind me of some of Lunasol’s early eyeshadow palettes (particularly Intellectual Eyes).

Here are some highlights of the rest of Satishe’s lineup:

For spring 2011, Estée Lauder released the Wild Violet makeup collection, which features purples and muted neutrals for the eyes, vibrant shades for the lips and an on-trend grey for the nails.
Pure Color EyeShadow in Untamed Violet (above) is one of the key items in the collection. It is a moderately pigmented muted blue with a hint of purple and a soft veil of multi-hued shimmer. Overall it has more of a velvety finish than a shimmery finish. I don’t find it as blendable as the ultra-blendable eyeshadows from many of the Japanese brands, and it may take a bit of layering if you want a highly color-rich finish. But the powder has a very good adherence on the skin and the finish lasts reasonably well.

Lunasol will release its summer 2011 makeup collection in Japan on May 13th. In recent years, along with other items, Lunasol releases two eyeshadow palettes for summer in keeping with the spring makeup theme. (For spring 2011, the theme is Aquatic Purification.) Here is the first look at the two palettes, which I was really looking forward to.
The new items include:

On March 23rd, Lunasol will release Skin Modeling Eyes Kit in collaboration with Biteki magazine and makeup artist Masaru Hamada. The limited-edition kit includes Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (Lunasol’s all-time best-seller) and an original pouch.
Each purchase will also come with a deluxe sample (4g) of Lip Essence (for Day). (The full-size product is 7g.)
Released in spring 2007, Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige (usually referred to simply as Beige Beige by Lunasol fans) has reached a legendary status as an ultimate neutral eyeshadow palette. This is not the first time that Beige Beige is featured in a limited-edition kit. In 2008, it was included in Lunasol’s 10th Anniversary Makeup Palette. Last year, it was part of the brand’s Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit.
