When it comes to cleansing and toning, Liz Earle‘s product recommendations are very straightforward. The brand only features one cleanser, Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, and one toner, Instant Boost Skin Tonic. Today I am highlighting the toner.

Happy New Year, everyone!
I came cross the information on SUQQU’s two New Year Special Kits earlier today and I thought I would feature them in my first post in 2011. Two limited-edition kits will be available and they will be launched in Japan on January 2nd. They are:

Joining the winter sale madness, I stopped by Paul & Joe at Harrods and Fenwick a couple of days ago. (Paul & Joe’s sale items are usually recently discontinued products, soon-to-be discontinued products, and surplus stock, and they are usually (almost always) 50% off their full retail prices. (Have a look at this post for more information on seasonal sales on cosmetics in the UK.))
All the items I got this time are 50% off retail prices. I would not have purchased these items at their full prices (possibly with the exception of the Body Milk), but, with the considerable discounts, I was very happy to bring home and try these products:
(Towards the end of this post, there is a list of items that I remember are on sale in Harrods and Fenwick.)

Neutrogena‘s new Multi-Defence skincare range claims to combat what the brand calls the five key environmental aggressors that can damage the skin: sun, pollution, cold, heat, and wind. The range currently features 6 products: 3 day moisturisers (Dry & Sensitive SPF 15, Normal to Combination SPF 15, and All Skin Types SPF 25), Night Moisturiser (All Skin Types), Gentle Purifying Scrub and Gentle Purifying Wipes. Today I am highlighting Daily Moisturiser for All Skin Types SPF 25 and Night Moisturiser for All Skin Types.

Paul & Joe has updated its website to feature information on the brand’s spring 2011 makeup collection, which will be released in Japan on February 4th. One item that I didn’t feature in my previous post on the collection is Face Color Kit (above, 2 variations), which includes Face Color S, Mini Brush, a piece of Japanese-style wrapping cloth, and a case.
I am quite interested in the kit, as I like the Face Color S in 001 Parasol and the print of the cloth and the case. But I am not sure if this kit will be available in the UK, since it is only featured on Paul & Joe Beauté’s Japanese site, not on the English or the French site. I will keep you posted if I come across any further information.

Lissage is a Japanese beauty brand which is owned by Kanebo. (See Lissage’s brand profile here.) Lissage White is the whitening/brightening skincare range of the brand, and, for spring 2011, there will be a limited-edition point makeup collection under the range. The makeup shades in this collection are designed to showcase one’s translucent and luminous skin tone.
The items in this collection include:

Since Magie Deco was launched in fall 2007, it has been releasing lovely makeup coffrets for the holiday seasons. This year, Magie Deco Coffret IV includes a beautiful eyeshadow palette, with plum, light dusky pink, and light cool lilac. I like the eye palette for holiday 2009, but I think this year’s is even prettier.
(See the 2007 coffret here and the 2008 one here, and have a look at photos of the 2010 coffret on Autumn Masquerade.)

My post on Kate’s spring 2011 makeup collection has been updated with an image of the new variation of Gradical Eyes A. Could this purple-toned palette be my first ever item from Kate?

Maquillage’s holiday 2010 makeup collection celebrates the line’s 5th anniversary. The Powder Celebration set includes a 7-shade loose powder (pictured above and below) and a pressed powder. The loose powder is certainly a one-off creation that we don’t see every year.

NARS’ holiday 2010 makeup collection has got some of my favorite makeup colors: violet, lilac, gold, beige and cool pink. Also, I like the look (and the name) of Trio Eye Shadow in Okinawa, even though the colors might not necessarily work particularly well for me.
