Integrate has been slowly changing its brand image. (Remember the TV ads starring Angelina Jolie when the brand was first launched several years ago?) Integrate is now a cuter and more girlie line, and the new Rainbow Grade Eyes series from Integrate’s fall 2010 makeup collection makes a clear statement regarding how the line wants to be perceived.

Kanebo Coffret D’Or‘s website has been updated with information on the line’s spring 2011 makeup collection. You can now see all the shades/variations of the new items.

(Eyes Appeal Shadow)
.
The new eyeshadow palettes are of course what I am the most interested in. The new Eyes Appeal Shadow features five variations:
– 01 Sweet Brown
– 02 Fairy Pink
– 03 Clear Silver
– 04 Nudy Beige
– 05 Mint Purple
.
(Perfect Grade Eyes)
.
The new Perfect Grade Eyes (Coffret D’Or’s first eyeshadow duos) features four variations:
– 01 Pink
– 02 Green
– 03 Purple
– 04 Beige
.
At the moment, I like the look of Eyes Appeal Shadow in 01 Sweet Brown and 02 Fairy Pink as well as Perfect Grade Eyes in 03 Purple.

Even though some of the colors in Elégance’s fall 2010 makeup collection don’t appeal to me, I like how the theme of the collection, Operatic Queen, is reflected by the way the colors are arranged in the Phantom Eyes palettes. The packaging of the items is opulent and classy as always.
