Notice the prices of Pure Color Blush and Extra Glow Lipstick. SUQQU’s two-color blusher palettes (Blend Cheeks, Noble Nuance Cheeks, Balancing Cheeks, Nuancing Cheeks, Gradation Cheeks and Balancing Cheeks N) are priced at ¥6500, but the new Pure Color Blush will be priced at ¥5500. Also, the brand’s lipsticks (Creamy Lipstick, Blend Lipstick, Noble Nuance Lipstick, Creamy Glow Lipstick, Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist and Bright Up Lipstick) are priced at ¥5000 (except Plump Lipstick (¥4000), which comes in one shade and is similar to a tinted lip balm), but the new Extra Glow Lipstick will be priced at ¥4000. (Based on the images from Maquia Online, it certainly seems that the pigmentation level of Extra Glow Lipstick is higher than that of Plump Lipstick.)
These are fairly significant price decreases (from those of existing/past comparable products), and it will be interesting to see whether there will be more price decreases with new products in the coming seasons.
(For your references (if you are interested in comparing the per-gram prices), both Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist and Bright Up Lipstick contain 3.8g of product while the new Extra Glow Lipstick contains 3.7g of product. (It is not a significant decrease of weight.) What is quite intriguing is that the new Pure Color Blush contains substantially more product (7.5g) than Balancing Cheeks N (4g), Nuancing Cheeks (3.8g) and Gradation Cheeks (3.5g).)
(These price decreases remind me of those from Chicca (also owned by Kanebo). (Mystic Powder Eye Shadow (¥5500) replaced Enthralling Powder Eye Shadow (¥7000) in spring 2012, and Mesmeric Lipstick (¥3800) replaced Enticing Lipstick (¥5000) in spring 2014.))
Also, the gold details of the cases of Pure Color Blush and Extra Glow Lipstick might possibly signify the start of a gradual packaging revamp.

A price decrease would be most welcome! I’m curious what the USD price will be when these hit Selfridges. Yawakouki may be calling out to me. I was looking forward to seeing the new quad, but the color combination seems like it’ll be difficult for a lot of people to pull off. I swear it looks just like Lunasol Scent Form Eyes in Black Tea from almost a decade ago.
Hi Catya,
It certainly would! I am curious about the prices in the UK as well.
Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-32 Rengazome does remind me of Lunasol’s Scent Form Eyes in 03 Black Tea, which was released in fall 2006. (How time flies!) It also reminds me of Dual Eyeshadow in 01 Koushi from SUQQU’s fall 2008 makeup collection and Noble Shade Eyes in 03 Red Variation from Lunasol’s fall 2008 makeup collection:

I am interested in the new Pure Color Blush as well, and I am certainly looking forward to testing out some of the variations.
Thank you very much for posting your comment again! :)
