The Kanebo Shimmer T'Estimo Coffret d'Or Lavshuca SUQQU RMK 1

.

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.

SUQQU Creamy Glow Lipsticks Fall 2010 Makeup 1(SUQQU Creamy Glow Lipsticks in (from left to right)

.

Lusciously creamy and comfortably nourishing, SUQQU‘s Creamy Lipstick and Blend Lipstick (also see here) are some of the best lipsticks I have ever come across. When SUQQU went through a revamp last September, both lipsticks were discontinued and replaced by Creamy Glow Lipstick. (I think some shades of the two previous lipsticks are still available in the UK.)

I was quite certain that it would be as good as the previous two, but I was wondering how different it would be. Launched in Japan last September with all the other revamped products, it was finally here in the UK in February. Today I am sharing my thoughts with you.
