A Touch of Blusher is sixteen years old today!
For the last two and a half years or so, it has been difficult for many fans of Japanese cosmetics living outside Japan to get the items they want (in person or on-line) due to the measures taken by many countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, throughout this period, I have still been trying to continue to post information on some of the latest releases from Japan (including information on some of the limited-edition items) on my blog.
The reasons for doing so are that I personally still want to keep track of the new releases and that I would still love to share them with you. I feel that it is still fascinating to observe how various trends develop and how products evolve. Also, for me, looking at a new makeup collection often generates ideas for new makeup looks and makes me look at the makeup items I have in a different way.
Once again, let’s look back at the last twelve months of A Touch of Blusher:
November 2021: Celvoke celebrated its 5th anniversary.
December: Athletia was available in the UK.
January 2022: One of my favorite fragrances was revamped.
February: Paul & Joe’s beauty line marked its 20th anniversary with cat-themed items.
March: Elégance Razzle made its debut.
April: Canmake’s Glow Fleur Cheeks (Blend Type) caught my attention.
May: I presented 35 beautiful nail colors from Japanese beauty brands for summer 2022.
June: Guerlain’s fall 2022 makeup collection included the new Ombres G range.
July: I shared my thoughts on Chanel’s Blush Lumière in Pêche Rosée.
August: Clé de Peau’s 40th anniversary makeup and skincare collection featured two ultra-exclusive items.
September: Pink, mauve and plum are on-trend in fall 2022.
October: Visée released Nuance Matte Creator, a range of all-matte eyeshadow palettes.
