Kanebo Lavshuca will release its summer 2010 makeup collection in Japan on May 1st. The collection features:

– Moist Melting Bar (12 shades)
– Melting Eyes (5 variations)
– Mix Color Cheeks (4 variations)

I haven’t bought any blusher for quite some time, and I am interested in trying Mix Color Cheeks (which includes two gradational shades and one highlighting shade). I really like Lavshuca’s Cheek Color in PK-1, which was released in summer 2007, and I certainly hope Mix Color Cheeks will suit me as well.

Lunasol Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit

Lunasol will release a limited-edition Skin Modeling Eyes Starter Kit in Japan on March 12th. Lunasol fans will surely recognize the eye palette in this kit. It is the exceptionally popular Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige.

The Skin Modeling Eyes series was released in spring 2007, and 01 Beige Beige has been so popular that it is constantly out of stock in Japan. This time, the eye palette is paired with a lip palette with four beige-toned shades. The design of the lip palette is reminiscent of Skin Modeling Lips (also part of Lunasol’s spring 2007 collection), but the color combination is different from those of the four palettes released then.

The kit is priced at 5250 JPY, which is the retail price of the eye palette on its own. This makes the kit a really good deal.
