Paul & Joe‘s Pearl Foundation Primer was first released in spring/summer 2012 as a limited-edition item. I was planning to buy it at the time, but it seemed to sell out quite quickly and I missed out on it. A few months later, I was very pleased to see it back as part of Paul & Joe’s limited-edition holiday 2012 makeup collection. I certainly didn’t allow myself to miss out on it again!

In my own little world of makeup discovery, 2012 is probably the year of Sofina Aube Couture. Designing Impression Eyes in 553 Purple is the first item I purchased from the line since its revamp from the original Aube. I have then picked up three more variations, one of which is the limited-edition 561 Purple from fall 2012, and today I am sharing my thoughts on my second purchase, 555 Brown (released in spring 2012).

(Hello cupcakes!)
My blog is six years old today!
This year, I have experienced some ups and downs in my personal life, and I was not able to post in some earlier parts of this year. However, blogging has proven to be a therapeutic constant for me and the way I view blogging has taken on a new dimension.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reading my blog. Your ongoing support means a lot to me.
Once again, let’s take a look back at the last 12 months of A Touch of Blusher:
November 2011: I added a limited-edition Lunasol blusher to my stash.
December: I presented another Foundation Face-Off.
January 2012: My green-toned eyeshadow phase continued.
February: Another season, another Coffret d’Or palette.
March: RMK celebrated its 15th anniversary.
April: More lovely Paul & Joe items were added to my collection.
May: I started the Stash Debut 2012 series.
June: A new era for Lavshuca.
July: I finally got to try an eyeshadow palette from Muji.
August: This year saw the launch of Astalift in the UK.
September: Jill Stuart’s new Relax bodycare range caught my attention.
October: Aube Couture has been a surprise hit for me this year.
Thank you all very much again. I will continue to bring you more news, more reviews, and more of my thoughts on beauty. Do stop by again soon!

For fall 2012, Paul & Joe has revamped its lipstick range and brought out twenty new shades as well as six limited-edition shades. These shades fall into three categories: Clear, Natural, and Full Pigment. They are sold as refills, and alongside them are new lipstick cases. There are one regular case (Lipstick Case) and six limited-edition cases (five Lipstick Cases P and one Lipstick Case L). I was instantly attracted to the beautifully colorful Lipstick Case P 002. I decided to pick up this case and Lipstick in 104 Mademoiselle.
