Anna Sui Cosmetics has updated its website to feature the holiday 2008 collection, which will be released in Japan on November 6th. The collection includes bright colors very typical of Anna Sui, instead of neutrals that many other Japanese brands release for the holiday season.
The lineup includes:
– Eye Color Accent S (three variations)
– Color Powder (four new shades)
– Nail Color Collection 2008 (two versions)
The Eye Color Accent S and Nail Color Collection 2008 are limited-edition items.
The website also has a new wallpaper and screen saver available for downloading for a limited period of time.
Updated on November 24th:

Just in case you haven’t seen them on-line or in the shop, here are some more images of Dior’s holiday 2008 collection. (All images are from woman.excite.co.jp.)
Please see my first post on the collection to see all the photos and the updates.

Bourjois will release Gloss Bijou in Japan on November 27th, which I suppose is meant to be a limited holiday release. I think it will be sold in other countries.
It is available in one shade, a wearable coral-toned pink. It reminds me of some of the limited-edition items that Dior has released, especially the DiorLight Jewelled Makeup Necklace from holiday 2007.
I haven’t been very interested in most of the Christmas items so far. Maybe this (presumably relatively reasonably priced) will win me over when I see it in person.

The collection will also include:
– Dramatical Gel Liner (in RD632 and GY831 (
I know “dramatical” isn’t a real English word…))
– Jewel Rich Gel (for face and body, 16g)

Like many other Japanese brands, Jill Stuart will release a makeup set for the holiday season.
The set will include an eye palette (Vintage Glaze), a lip gloss (Deep Bordeaux), a solid perfume ring, a hand mirror, and a vintage-style clutch bag.
As with all the limited-edition holiday items from Jill Stuart, I think this set will sell exceptionally well. So far, the Jill Stuart holiday set I have is from 2005 and is the brand’s first holiday collection. It includes a shimmery face powder (similar to Guerlain Meteorites) and a lip gloss, packaged in a little round box. You can see the items (minus the box) here.
The set will be released in Japan on November 21st (according to Rouge Deluxe) and in Taiwan on December 1st.
Also, Jill Stuart released a base makeup set in Taiwan. The contents differ slightly from those in the Japanese release, but the clutch bag in the set is the same. Please see the photos of the actual items on this Taiwanese blog.
