More from Lavshuca Holiday 2008

Apart from the Stick Eyeshadows, Lavshuca will release Antique Collection for holiday 2008. Each of the two versions will include a Liquid Rouge and an eyeshadow duo.

The Antique Sepia version features a brown-toned eye duo with a beige-brown Liquid Rouge, while the Antique Monochrome version includes a grey-based eye duo with a pink Liquid Rouge.

I think, overall, I prefer the look (and the originality) of the Winter Make Collection from Lavshuca’s holiday 2007 release, so I think I will be saving the money for some other holiday items.

Paul & Joe has updated its (English) website with full information on its holiday 2008 collection. Paul & Joe fans will be delighted to know that this is not a half-hearted collection, as there are a lot of goodies and collectibles! (I can’t believe it is coming close to a year since I bought the Lip Gloss N from Paul & Joe’s holiday 2007 collection.)

The collection includes:

Body Fragrance Collection (two sets, limited editions, with Fragrance Body Powder, Solid Fragrance, Fragrance Body Cream, and Original Drawstring Bag)


Eye Makeup Collection “Neige
Eye Gloss N (5 shades)
Pearl Powder (5 shades)
Pencil Eye Liner (4 shades)

Face Color & Lipstick Kit (two sets, limited edition, with Face Color M, Lipstick G and Original Pouch)

The Red Velvet Collection (Lipstick L, limited edition, three shades)

Cosmetic Pouch II and Body Treatment Oil


The Paul & Joe English site has swatches of all the colors available, so I shall leave you to explore the site!

According to Cosme.Net, the collection will be launched in Japan on November 7th. On the other hand, the Paul & Joe English site seems to suggest that it is out on October 1st (in some countries at least). I will certainly keep a close eye on the collection when I stop by the Paul & Joe counter next time.

Dior Holiday 2008 Update (3)

(all images from www.iswii.net)

Here are a few more photos from Dior’s holiday 2008 collection. The photo above is a close-up of the Holiday Collection Makeup Palette that I mentioned in an earlier post.

The photos below show more palettes from the collection. These are similar to the ones from last year. I am not certain if they are global releases. If the ones from last year were available where you are, chances are that you are probably going to see these new ones later. (By the way, the 2007 ones were sold in the UK, and I’d say I will be expecting to see them in October.)

YSL Holiday 2008 Collection

(all images from www.joseishi.net/voce/)

YSL will release its holiday 2008 collection in Japan on October 31. The star item is “Lip Palette Bow Collection” (seen above, the name can vary in the US and Europe). It includes a lip color of a raspberry shade and a pink lip gloss with iridescent shimmer that can be used as a top coat to help the lip color stay longer. The packaging features both matte and glossy textures of gold, and the lip color and gloss are infused with a fruity mango scent.

The rest of YSL’s holiday 2008 lineup includes:

Makeup Palette Bow Collection (with shades for eyes and lips, in a case of a clutch-bag design and presented in a black velvet pouch)



4-Color Eyeshadow Bow Collection




Radiant Touch Bow Collection (works as a highlighter, concealer, and a base)



Golden Touch Bow Collection (adds pink-gold radiance to the complexion)

Mini Touche Blush (two shades, available in Japan only)



Rouge Pur (Pure Lipstick, 1 new shade)



Golden Gloss (1 new shade)



La Laque (2 new shades)



Young Sexy Lovely Collector Edition Radiant Eau de Toilette (50ml)


The bow lip palette looks cute but it doesn’t wow me, at least for the moment. What do you think about it in comparison with the heart pendant from holiday 2007?

Dior Holiday 2008 Collection Update (2)

in -Dior, 2008 Holiday, makeup

(image from www.cosme.net)

Continuing with all the holiday releases, Dior will release Holiday Collection Makeup Palette in Japan on December 1st. (See some of the November releases here.)

The palette includes six eyeshadows, a blusher (DiorBlush #939 (Rosebud)), a pressed powder, a Dior Addict gloss (#257) and a mini DiorShow Blackout mascara (#099).

It is likely that this palette will be available outside Japan. (The holiday 2007 version of the palette was available in the UK for around £45.)
