6. Majolica Majorca

I have not been paying a lot of attention to Majolica Majorca’s seasonal collections in the last couple of years, as the new items generally don’t excite me. But the new Jewelling Eyes, featuring a nice range of palettes, did catch my eye. The color combinations are on the basic side, but the wearability of them will always appeal to me.
5. Maquillage

Maquillage’s summer 2009 collection is, in a way, a typical summer makeup collection from Japanese brands, with colorful eyeliners and mascaras as well as a collection of nail colors. Two more Eyes Creator 3D palettes (limited editions) join the five launched in spring. The one in GD831 (left in photo), among all the seven palettes, appeals to me the most. I also like the limited-edition gold and silver cases for the two palettes. (I wish they were not limited editions so that I could have more time to think about whether to get GD831…)
4. Sonia Rykiel

Sonia Rykiel’s summer 2009 collection shows that blue (particularly a medium warm aqua blue) will probably always return as a main color for summer makeup in Japan. With blue, brown and white for both eyes and nails, along with three new lip glosses, the collection seems almost Lunasol-esque as it creates three mini collections with the three colors. Overall the lineup is colorful and well-coordinated, with colors painting a picture of the sun, the sea and the sand.

This is one brand (amongst many, including Anna Sui) that I WISH we had in the UK….I love it. x
Hi BritishBeautyBlogger,
I am assuming you are referring to Sonia Rykiel (following the previous comments). I do wish their products were available in the UK. But, as far as I know, they are not even available in France…
Thank you for your comment again! :)
