On September 18th, SUQQU will release Concealer Tone Up and the fall/winter 2009 edition of Base Makeup Kit in Japan.
Concealer Tone Up is an orange-based concealer for the eye area. The product is designed to offer a natural but effective coverage while maintaining the moisture level in the eye area.
The limited-edition Base Makeup Kit includes:
– Dual Pressed Powder (full-sized product)
– Foundation (cream-type foundation, 16g)
– Makeup Base Creamy (7g, see review here)
– original pouch
I’d expect these two items to be available in the UK shortly after they are launched in Japan.

ColorStay Ultimate Lipcolor is one of Revlon’s recent major launches. The new liquid lipstick claims to be food-proof and lip-conditioning, and it promises to require no touch-up for up to 12 hours.
Ten shades are available in the UK at the moment. Pictured above, 060 Stellar Sunrise is a warm peachy coral, 010 Premium Pink is a rose-toned red, and 075 Number One Nude is a medium brown. All the three shades are well-pigmented and have a semi-matte finish.
The product has a liquidy cream texture and is applied with a wand. After a couple of minutes, the liquid dries up and becomes smudge-proof.
Practicality-wise, the product does deliver. It is water-proof, smudge-proof and, in almost all cases, food-proof, and the color is very long-lasting. There is virtually no need to touch up for the whole day. (
For the product to be fully smudge-proof, it has to be worn on bare lips with no lip balm.)
However, it is not sufficiently moisturizing for the lips
(especially for a product that has to be worn on bare lips.) The lips can feel tight and look dry after the liquid dries up. Also, the slightly frosty metallic sheen can make lip lines appear more obvious.
To help the lips appear more moisturized, I’d gently dab (not rub or massage) on some lip balm after the product dries up. In this case, the color is still relatively smudge-proof. However, it doesn’t really help the lips feel more soothed as the lip balm is not getting through the smudge-proof color layer.
Overall, the product does mostly what it promises, as it is a smudge-proof lipcolor that requires no touch-up. However, it is not the most comfortable lip product to wear and the finish is not ultra-flattering. I think I would rather have my lips look and feel moisturized and nourished, and I wouldn’t mind having to touch up.
