Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion

6th: Integrate

Integrate’s summer 2014 makeup collection features two new variations of Rainbow Grade Eyes, and both look very appealing. I particularly like RD715 with its mauve pink (which reminds me of Coffret d’Or’s 3D Lighting Eyes in 04 Purple Variation), and I also like the bronze beige in the limited-edition 2 Summer Girl.

10th: Bobbi Brown

There is something quite Japanese about Bobbi Brown’s Surf & Sand Eye Palettes for summer 2014. Japanese beauty lines, such as Lunasol, often release eyeshadow palettes with warm neutrals and those with combinations of neutrals and greens/blues for summer, and the Surf & Sand Eye Palettes remind me of them.

Dior’s spring 2014 Trianon makeup collection has a diverse range of colors, with shades of pink, peach, green, blue, purple, and gray. The highlights of the collection are the two Trianon Palettes, but some of the other items, such as the Trianon Editions of 5 Couleurs, Diorshow Mono and Diorblush, look impressive as well.

Last fall, Elégance presented an updated look with Nouvelle Eyes. The new packaging, while in keeping with the brand’s glamorous gold color theme, is sleeker than what we saw from the more ornate Phantom Eyes and Aurora Storm, which were first released in 2009. For spring 2014, there are three additional variations of Nouvelle Eyes and the new look is also seen on the new Sleek Face cream blushers.

YSL’s spring 2014 Flower Crush makeup collection features pink and purple, two of my favorite colors. The limited-edition Palette Flower Crush Eyes (pictured above) includes rose pink and dark cherry alongside lighter highlighting shades.

3rd: Visée

In 2010, Visée started to release items with a more feminine style of packaging, and I particularly like the look of Glam Glow Eyes from fall 2011. (I tried BR-3 & GR-4.) The line’s fall 2013 makeup collection, featuring 29 new products (25 regular products and 4 limited editions), began a new chapter for the line. The image of the line is feminine and sensual, and, among the new products, Glossy Rich Eyes (far left in the image above) and Blend Color Cheeks (third from the right) stand out for me. I certainly look forward to seeing more items in the future.

The highlight of Addiction’s fall 2013 makeup collection for me is the new Cheek Polish. Like Cheek Stick, which was launched in summer 2011, this is an eye-catching item (which looks like a nail polish) for the cheeks.

Lavshuca’s fall 2013 makeup collection features red cases for the products. This is a new look for the line, but I still prefer the original (pre-fall-2012) packaging. I like some of the variations of Melty Heart Eyes and the gradational look of Melty Trick Cheeks in this collection.

3rd: Kesalan Patharan

Kesalan Patharan seems to be going through a packaging revamp, and its summer 2013 makeup collection, with eight variations of Cheek Color, really caught my attention. I like many of the color variations as well as the gold cases. The collection also features a Cheek Brush, but the double-ended brush in the compact should be fairly useful.

6th: Lunasol

Lunasol’s summer 2013 makeup collection has a similar color palette to those of many of the brand’s previous summer collections, as it features a neutral-toned eyeshadow palette and a blue-toned one. This time, the Vivid Clear Eyes in EX02 Colorful Collection includes a fresh pink and a lake green. This is certainly one of the most vibrantly colorful eyeshadow palettes from Lunasol in recent seasons.
