Another season, another pink collection from Jill Stuart. Not surprisingly, the new Blush Blossom, launched in fall 2010, has proven to be a popular product, and there is one new color variation this season. Lip Luster was re-packaged to become Lip Jewel, which looks even prettier.

I didn’t think I would be able to get this……
Chanel’s Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer in 387 Wish is from the brand’s limited-edition Tokyo Happening collection in summer 2009. The initial news I came across was that the collection was exclusive to Japan and Taiwan. There was then further news that it would be available in America.

My thoughts are with people in Japan amid the calamity caused by the devastating earthquake last Friday. This is one of the most serious earthquakes in history, but, despite the catastrophe, the Japanese people are displaying composure and organization. Let’s hope that all the rescue efforts will progress smoothly and that those affected by the trauma will soon be able to begin rebuilding their lives.
To follow the latest news on the earthquake and the emergency relief, you can log onto NHK World, whose continuous TV coverage is currently being streamed live.

My Japanese Cosmetics Focus series is back today with Satishe.
Satishe is the name of the color makeup range of CP Cosmetics, which also carries the skincare range Soigne and the base makeup range Delitia as well as haircare and bodycare products. The line features items for face, eyes, lips, cheeks and nails.
(CP Cosmetics is part of StylingLife Holdings Inc. BCL Company*, under which there are other beauty brands such as Makemania (which carries the ultra-popular Curvy Lip Silicone), Vecua and Love Clover.)

Satishe doesn’t boast dramatic colors or dazzling shimmer. The line offers wearable colors suitable for most work and casual occasions. One of the key items of the line is the eyeshadow palette Soft Veil Eyeshadow. The design of the palettes and the color combinations remind me of some of Lunasol’s early eyeshadow palettes (particularly Intellectual Eyes).

Here are some highlights of the rest of Satishe’s lineup:

For spring 2011, Estée Lauder released the Wild Violet makeup collection, which features purples and muted neutrals for the eyes, vibrant shades for the lips and an on-trend grey for the nails.
Pure Color EyeShadow in Untamed Violet (above) is one of the key items in the collection. It is a moderately pigmented muted blue with a hint of purple and a soft veil of multi-hued shimmer. Overall it has more of a velvety finish than a shimmery finish. I don’t find it as blendable as the ultra-blendable eyeshadows from many of the Japanese brands, and it may take a bit of layering if you want a highly color-rich finish. But the powder has a very good adherence on the skin and the finish lasts reasonably well.

Lunasol will release its summer 2011 makeup collection in Japan on May 13th. In recent years, along with other items, Lunasol releases two eyeshadow palettes for summer in keeping with the spring makeup theme. (For spring 2011, the theme is Aquatic Purification.) Here is the first look at the two palettes, which I was really looking forward to.
The new items include:

I had the honor and pleasure to be invited to the Access² Fashion & Journalism event, which was held on February 22nd in London. As a guest speaker on the journalism panel, I talked about my passion in writing about beauty and my last four years as a blogger. I also offered some advice to those who would like to become bloggers and on-line journalists.
The event was organized by Elevation Networks, and, specifically, its GIFTED Campaign, one of whose aims is to help Arts and Fashion students gain an insight into the field through those in the relevant industries.
One of the things that impressed me the most is the enthusiasm of all the participating students, who were keen to ask questions and talk to the speakers, and I certainly hope they were able to benefit from the event.
