The official website of Kosé’s Esprique has been launched. The site currently features product information, makeup tutorial videos (under Item) and TV commercials.
The current brand ambassador is Namie Amuro.
As I mentioned earlier, Esprique’s tagline is One Stroke Beauty, stressing the simple makeup application techniques. The tutorial videos demonstrate how this is achieved with each of the items in the lineup.
You can also check out my previous post for more information.
At the moment, I am choosing between A-1 and A-2 of Blend Dimensional Eyes, and I also like the look of Melty Fix Cheek and Aqua Drape Rouge.

3rd: Magie Deco

Magie Deco’s spring 2011 Sugar Magic makeup collection features light lilacs and neutrals with a touch of green. The color combinations of Magie Deco’s eyeshadow palettes are usually slightly more unusual and unpredictable (see Magie Deco’s fall 2009 makeup collection), but the wearability of this collection and the soft looks that it can create are certainly appealing to me.

6th: THREE

THREE’s spring 2011 makeup collection features the brand’s first range of eyeshadow palettes, 4D Eye Palette. I like the interesting color combinations of neutral shades and a pop of color. These items continue to give the brand a distinctive look.

10th: Jill Stuart

Another season, another pink collection from Jill Stuart. Not surprisingly, the new Blush Blossom, launched in fall 2010, has proven to be a popular product, and there is one new color variation this season. Lip Luster was re-packaged to become Lip Jewel, which looks even prettier.

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.
