Lancôme collaborated with Sonia Rykiel for its fall 2016 makeup collection. The Sonia Rykiel Draws Paris for Lancôme collection features the designer’s iconic multi-colored stripes, which can be seen on the packaging of La Palette Saint Germain, Cushion Blush Subtil and Parisian Lip Le Crayon.
Sadly, Sonia Rykiel passed away on August 25th. I will always remember her sense of style (and her hairstyle).

Anna Sui’s summer 2016 makeup collection features the limited-edition Lip Color Stain (above) and Face & Body Powder. I like the colorful tropical print on them, but the bottom halves of the cases seem uncharacteristically plain. The highlight of the collection for me is Limited Ring Rouge (below), which is a limited-edition re-release (with different shades) of one of Anna Sui’s classics.

June is usually the time when Coffret d’Or releases a new regular series of eyeshadow palettes, but, this year, there will be five limited-edition variations of Beauty Summer Palette in July. Each variation features three eyeshadows and two lip colors, and the slim case resembles the case for Beauty C Curve Eyes from 2010.

Sweets Sweets’ spring 2016 makeup collection features the new Premium Chocolat Cheeks. The concept of the packaging comes from the line’s Premium Gateau Shadow, which was launched in spring 2015. Also from the collection are the new Premium Chocolat Highlighter and Premium Chocolat Shading, both of which have the same dessert-themed packaging. I also like the new Fruit Tint Serum.
