Founded in 1948 (and with related legends dating back to the 14th century), Carthusia is a niche fragrance brand from Capri, Italy. The brand carries fragrances, bodycare products, and home fragrance items, and it is noted for incorporating local ingredients into its fragrance compositions. Today I am highlighting Carthusia’s Mediterraneo.

I have featured a few Palmer’s bodycare products (such as Cocoa Butter Formula Body Lotion SPF 15 and some of the Body Butters) since early last year, and I am pleased with all of them. Some of the things that have impressed me about them are the absence of irritating fragrant floral oils, their smooth and luxurious texture, and their ability to moisturize the skin effectively.
A few months ago, Palmer’s launched its first facial care range in the UK, and I was eager to see if the products still carry these attributes. Today I am focusing on two facial moisturizers, Daily Calming Facial Lotion and Night Renewal Cream.

Founded in 1972, DHC is one of the Japanese beauty brands that have more visibility outside Asia. (There are DHC UK (launched in 2007), DHC France, and DHC US.) DHC has physical stores in and outside Japan but it is known for its strong e-commerce presence.
Over the next couple of months, I will be highlighting a few more items from the brand. Today, I am focusing on one of the brand’s most popular products, Olive Virgin Oil.

To all the MAC fans out there (and to refresh your expert MAC knowledge): in what year was the Patternmaker collection released?*
When I saw images of the products before the release, I was almost instantly attracted to the packaging. Each of the eyeshadow and lip palettes had a varied pattern, and I decided to go for 3 Beige Lips mainly because the case was my favorite. (I like how the colors are laid out.) I didn’t really have any intention to use the colors…I just wanted to add this palette to my makeup stash…

I came across this eyeshadow palette on YSL‘s on-line store in Japan. The Eyeshadow Palette 1998 is inspired by the colors on the greeting card that Yves Saint Laurent sent to his family, friends, and colleagues in 1998, which marked the 40th anniversary of his professional creative activity in fashion.
The four colors symbolize the brand icon, the sun, the Marrakesh sea, and Majorelle Garden.

Each individual palette comes with a unique serial number as proof of authenticity.
According to the site, this palette is a limited-edition Japan-only web-exclusive item. (The site delivers within Japan only.) But it might become available in some other countries later on.
