It doesn’t seem that long ago when Sonia Rykiel released a beautiful blue-themed collection for summer 2009. For this summer, the brand focuses on slightly warmer shades. I like the vibrant hues of Gloss D’Été as well as the golden-sun color of the packaging.
9th: Majolica Majorca

In contrast to Sonia Rykiel’s warm colors, Majolica Majorca’s summer 2010 color scheme is a lot cooler, With cool pink and lilac, it is a girlie and romantic collection. The eyeshadow palette with pale pink and soft lilac is quite appealing to me.
8th: Jill Stuart

I really like my Mix Blush Compact (in 01 Baby Blush), and Jill Stuart has released many variations to satisfy Jill Stuart fans. The two limited-edition variations for summer 2010 feature soft colors and floral prints on the powder, and they just look so pretty.
(Jill Stuart will release a new range of blushers for fall 2010. See images on the Voce blog.)
7th: Anna Sui

Anna Sui’s summer 2010 makeup collection features colorful psychedelic patterns on the packaging. I very nearly bought Glittering Eye Color in 002, but I decided not to in the end. (I do like the cute packaging, but the cream texture is not really my preferred texture for eyeshadows (or for most makeup items).)
The countdown continues in Part 2.

Considering that Estée Lauder and Guerlain are obviously ultimately owned by different companies, I think it is intriguing that Estée Lauder’s new Pure Color 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette and Guerlain’s new Écrin 6 Couleurs have a very similar look.
Perhaps more interestingly, they seem to indicate some key fall 2010 makeup trends. Maybe dramatic blues and cool neutrals are back…
(You can see the five variations of Écrin 6 Couleurs here and swatches of some of the shades here.)

Here is a look at Dior’s fall 2010 makeup collection. The limited-edition star item of the season is 2 Colors Edition Collector (with 1 variation), with the Dior logos embossed onto the two contrastive shades. I think I will skip it and start looking forward to the holiday 2010 star item.
The rest of the collection includes:
– 5 Colors Designer (1 new variation, 808 Pink Design)
– 5 Colors eyeshadow palette (1 new variation, 844 Misty Mauve, limited edition)
– Mascara Diorshow 360
– Diorshow Maximizer (mascara base)
– Sérum de Rouge (4 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict High Color (2 new shades, including 1 limited edition)
– Dior Addict Ultra Gloss (1 new shade, limited edition)
The new Diorshow 360 mascara is Dior’s version of the battery-powered mascara. It features the “helix blush”, and I am presuming that the brush swivels rather than vibrates.
