Spring makeup collections tend to be my favorites as compared with collections from the rest of the year, since the colors are usually soft, fresh, and wearable. This week, I will be counting down my top ten spring 2009 makeup collections.
10. Maquillage

8. Elégance

(Elégance Radiance Quartet)Like Sonia Rykiel and Paul & Joe, Elégance is a French fashion line with its beauty range mainly available in Asia. I particularly like the glamorous and opulent golden cases for many of its products. (Please see my profile of the brand here.) For spring 2009, the four new Eyeshadow palettes reflect all the main seasonal color trends (pinks, purples, and neutrals). The new Radiance Quartet is among the three cheek items from Elégance that I really want to check out in person.
7. Esprique Precious

The countdown continues in Part 2 and Part 3.

HI PJ :)
I love the new Marquillage range, I’ve read about them on some Japanese magazines too.
Hope you could give me some more advice, Me and my husband are going to Japan in a week, I will not miss out on those Cosmetic brands you mentioned :) I was also wondering I heard those make up / skin care pharmacy is really good too, do you know what will they be called in Japanese, or if they have a special sign I can look out for :)
Also any other special tips on which store to visit at Tokyo for make up and skin care
Thank you
Ena
Tha Maquillage range is amazing, IMO~~ The new cases are so chic!
And those Elégance Radiance Quartets look lovely as well:)
Hi Jojoba,
Elégance is currently available in Japan and Taiwan. It may be available in Hong Kong as well, but I am not really sure about this.
If you are interested in trying products from Elégance, ichibankao.com may be able to help you source them and ship them to you.
Thank you very much for your question! :)
Hi Ena,
I see. I have written an article titled “Beauty City Guide – Tokyo”, which is currently on my “Best of Blusher” list on my blog sidebar. I think it might have most of the information that you are looking for.
If you do have other questions, please keep me posted! :)
Thank you very much for stopping by my blog, and I hope you and your husband will have a great time in Japan :)
Hi Eru,
I do really like the look of the Elégance Radiance Quartets. They look both elegant and glamorous. Hope I will be able to see them in person later on.
Thank you for posting your comment again! :)
I’m still waiting for the new Maquilage Face Creators 3D here… Have they out in Malaysia yet ? kekeke… I’m definitely check out the RMK next weekend if I’m free…
Hi PJ,
Sorry about the stupid question, I some how missed that post.
But anyway your beauty shopping post on Tokyo is great, exactly what I’m looking for :)
keep up with the great work
Ena
Hi Syn@3sTh3sI@,
I would certainly like to see the Face Creators 3D in person. (A couple of the variations look suitable for my complexion.) RMK’s spring 2009 collection is out in the UK now as well and I had a look at it. Let me know what you think if you have a chance to see it.
Thank you for your comment again! :)
Hi Ena,
That’s okay. Don’t apologize! :)
I am happy that the Beauty City Guide on Tokyo is helpful. Have a great time in Japan, and thank you for stopping by again! :)
