SUQQU Spring 2011 Website 1(image from www.suqqu.com)

.

For those who have been wondering whether SUQQU will release a spring 2011 makeup collection, you might want to know that, according to blogger Kurara, there will not be a full color makeup collection for spring 2011.

Instead, SUQQU has released a limited-edition Blend Color Eyeshadow Kit for spring 2011. (See the picture here, taken by blogger Imae921. Click on the left arrow for more images.) The kit includes Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-03 Komorebi, Nuancing Loose Powder Glow (5g), Frame Fix Liquid Foundation (3ml), and Original Pouch.

The pre-ordering started on January 5th and the kit went on sale on January12th.

It is very likely that the kit has been completely sold out. According to blogger Hiroko (see more images via the link), only 300 sets were available and they were only sold at Isetan Shinjuku, Tokyo.

This is basically an exclusive kit for frequent SUQQU customers at Isetan Shinjuku (possibly the number one beauty mecca in Japan), as information on the kit is not even on SUQQU’s official website. Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-03 Komorebi should be the only new eye palette from SUQQU for spring 2011. (EX-01 and EX-02 were in SUQQU’s 2010 Christmas Makeup Kits A & B.)

If you really like the look of the palette, you can find similar shades in Blend Color Eyeshadows in 02 Kokedama and 05 Sakurakaba.

When it comes to jewelry, Bulgari is one of my favorite brands, if not the favorite. I particularly love the beautiful multi-colored pieces from the Sapphire Flower, Allegra and Astrale collections. I also love Bulgari for its well-crafted fragrances, of which I have a few, and Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert is one of my favorite scents.

For this spring, combining jewelry and fragrances, Bulgari gives us the Jewel Charms Collection. The colors and the shape of the flacons certainly remind me of some of the stunning pieces of Bulgari’s luxurious jewelry:
