Have a look at my post on the two limited-edition Beauty C Curve Eyes palettes for Kanebo Coffret D’Or fall 2010 to see swatches and FOTDs of Beauty C Curve Eyes in 06 Smoky Brown (left in photo above). Also, note that the line’s logo on the case is green instead of pink.

Some thoughts after the visit to Harrods and Selfridges a few days ago:
Paul & Joe
I tested some of the items from the fall 2010 Clair de Lune collection. The colors in the limited-edition Face & Eye Color CS palettes look as pretty as they do in the promotional images. However, even for me, many of the colors are too sheer. The three lighter shades in Paper Moon (the neutral palette) are mainly shimmer and don’t have much pigment.
Burberry Beauty
The line was launched on July 12th in Harrods, which is the line’s only retail point in the UK at the moment. All the powder-based items (powder foundations, blushers, bronzers, and eyeshadows) have a beautifully silky texture and a velvety matte finish. (None of the eyeshadows has visible shimmer.) I also like the classy packaging. (I will post a more detailed review of the line later on.)
SUQQU
One of the sales assistants confirmed that the fall 2010 collection would be launched in the UK in September. Since Powdery Cheeks is one of the products to be discontinued next month, I decided that it was time to pick up 11 Ashibi, which caught my eye during my first encounter with SUQQU in 2006 . I have a feeling that it will soon be among my favorite blushers. I also went for 14 Oshiroibana, which is more vibrant. Even though they will be discontinued soon, I am still planning to post my thoughts on them for those who are interested in this exquisite Japanese beauty brand.

Have a look at the posts below for (more) swatches of the collection items.
Integrate Fall 2010 Makeup Collection
I was waiting to see swatches of the new Rainbow Grade Eyes palettes. BE303 (wrongly named as BR303 in the article) is the one I want to try the most, and the colors do still look very good. PK309 also looks nice. On the other hand, the purple in VI708 looks a little too greyish for me.
Lunasol Fall 2010 Makeup Collection
Finally we see the close-ups of the Aurorize Eyes palettes. The shades in the middle of the palettes appear to be intensely shimmery. I still think I will be trying 02 Light Variation. (Some of the colors look a little washed out possibly (at least partly) due to the amount of light-reflective shimmer they have. I noticed this in the September 2010 issue of Biteki as well.)

It is not rare for Japanese beauty brands to go through a thorough overhaul every few years (either all in one season or in several seasons over a year or so). Last year, both RMK and Elégance revamped their makeup lines. (See the links for the relevant posts.) For fall 2010, SUQQU will renew its makeup and skincare lineups as well. All the items featured here are brand new items, not new shades/variations of existing items. They will be released in Japan on September 3rd, and I assume they will arrive in the UK soon after that.
The new items include:
