In most countries outside Asia, the Sensai line would be the only line available under the Kanebo brand. Last month, I reviewed Sensai’s Cellular Performance Mask and Hydrachange Mask. Sensai also carries base and point makeup items (as well as bodycare and haircare products), and, today, I am featuring the line’s Eye Shadow Palette in ES 02 Kaede Momiji.

Sensai’s Eye Shadow Palette range was launched in February 2009 as part of the line’s revamped point makeup collection. (See my post on this back in 2008.) The range currently includes four variations. ES 02 Kaede Momiji is the warmer one of the two neutral palettes.

Kanebo Lavshuca will release its holiday 2010 makeup collection in Japan on November 1st. The collection includes:
– Star Decoration Eyes (5 variations)
– Star Glow Rouge (12 shades)
– Perfect Gloss (lip primer, SPF 21, PA+)
I like the look of the Star Decoration Eyes, and the neutral palette featured in the image above looks good!

BR-1 is the one featured in the promotional image above, and it still looks good to me. It is great to see a purple-toned variation, but it looks more blue than purple in the image.

Anna Sui will release a new fragrance, Forbidden Affair, in Japan on October 1st. Classified as a floral fruity, Forbidden Affair (Eau de Toilette) features the following notes:
Top notes: lemon, redcurrant, black currant
Middle notes: raspberry, rose petal accord, pomegranate
Base note: violet, musk, cedarwood
The fragrance will be available in 30ml and 50ml.
The scent has some of my favorite citrus and fruity notes (lemon, black currant, and pomegranate), but I do wonder if the scent might be overall too sweet. Unlike Anna Sui’s makeup and skincare ranges, the fragrance line is quite widely available in the UK. I will be keen to try it out.
On the same day, Anna Sui will also release Hand & Nail Cream N, Nail Treatment Oil and Beauty Box in Japan. (See the images here.) I like cute nail and cuticle oils, and I may have to have this one…

Color-wise, the fall 2010 makeup trends seem to be a natural progression from the last few seasons. Beiges and browns dominated spring 2010, and they are still a key trend in fall 2010, (Gone are the grays, which were prominent in fall 2009, as a major color trend.) Meanwhile, purples shone last fall and they have taken on a few varied hues this season.
a
Beiges & Browns
RMK puts browns firmly on center stage with the Autumn Brown collection. The limited-edition Brown Eyes palettes feature various brown tones. (The palettes are called Deep Brown, Dark Brown, Red Brown, Yellow Brown and Beige Brown.) Guerlain‘s new Écrin 6 Couleurs palettes are also based on a variety of neutral tones, while SUQQU‘s revamped makeup line lays the groundwork with six Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes, all with neutral hues.

Pinks, Mauves, Purples & Plums
Biteki (September 2010) calls them the berry tones, and those who are not enticed by the skin-tonal colors and who are interested in more vibrant shades might want to look into these mouth-watering colors.
Dior‘s 5 Color Design palette in Pink Design includes a dusty pink and a sophisticated muted purple. Estée Lauder‘s Pure Color 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Surreal Violet offers some delicious berry shades. Addiction‘s fall 2010 makeup collection includes berry-toned items for eyes as well as lips. (Refer to the link for the new items for lips.)

Mix & Match
What is interesting is that many brands feature both color trends in their fall 2010 makeup collections (either in one single item or in various items in the collection). Here are some of the highlights:
