Since Sofina Raycious was discontinued, I have not been adding many foundation cases to my collection. But when I saw this case on-line, I thought I might decide to have it at some point.
Kanebo Coffret D’Or‘s spring/summer 2010 base makeup collection doesn’t feature a new powder foundation, but it does include this powder foundation case, which can house powder foundations from Coffret D’Or (Lasting Power Pact UV and Silky Fit Pact as well as previous versions such as Beauty Lasting Pact UV and Beauty Essence Pact). It can also house some of the powder foundations from some other Kanebo-owned brands/lines.

When I received the case, I thought that the colors of the jewel embellishments were not as vibrant as how they looked in magazines. But when I photographed it, I noticed that the colors did come alive on photographs. I guess this difference is by chance, not by design.
When light hits the case from certain angles, there is some soft blue iridescence, which is quite a nice design detail.
I do like makeup items with jewel details, and this case is a good addition to my stash of foundation cases!

Chanel‘s holiday 2010 makeup collection, Les Tentations de Chanel, is chic and romantic. With items for eyes, cheeks, lips and nails, the collection features two distinct color schemes, brown and fuchsia.
.

The two color schemes are designed to work with each other, but they can of course work on their own. The pink-toned items include:
– Les Tissages de Chanel in Tweed Fuchsia
– Rouge Coco in Magnolia
– Lèvres Scintillantes in Charming
– Lèvres Scintillantes in Pink Pulsion
– Le Vernis in Pulsion
.
.
In this review, I am focusing on the brown-toned items in this collection, which include Les 4 Ombres in Tentation Cuivrée and Ombre D’Eau in Splash for the eyes as well as Rouge Coco in Patchouli and Lèvres Scintillantes in Pleasing for the lips.

Integrate has been slowly changing its brand image. (Remember the TV ads starring Angelina Jolie when the brand was first launched several years ago?) Integrate is now a cuter and more girlie line, and the new Rainbow Grade Eyes series from Integrate’s fall 2010 makeup collection makes a clear statement regarding how the line wants to be perceived. The message is clear.

Kanebo Coffret D’Or‘s website has been updated with information on the line’s spring 2011 makeup collection. You can now see all the shades/variations of the new items.
.
(Eyes Appeal Shadow)
.
The new eyeshadow palettes are of course what I am the most interested in. The new Eyes Appeal Shadow features five variations:
– 01 Sweet Brown
– 02 Fairy Pink
– 03 Clear Silver
– 04 Nudy Beige
– 05 Mint Purple
.
(Perfect Grade Eyes)
.
The new Perfect Grade Eyes (Coffret D’Or’s first eyeshadow duos) features four variations:
– 01 Pink
– 02 Green
– 03 Purple
– 04 Beige
.
At the moment, I like the look of Eyes Appeal Shadow in 01 Sweet Brown and 02 Fairy Pink as well as Perfect Grade Eyes in 03 Purple.
