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.

Aube Couture’s fall 2012 makeup collection includes four new variations of Designing Impression Eyes. Both 561 and 563 look appealing to me, and I have bought and tried 561 (above). I have slight issues with a couple of shades in the palette, but it generally works well for me. I also love the gorgeous limited-edition case design.
