2008 Spring

Kanebo Coffret D’Or 3D Lighting Eyes

Kanebo’s new makeup line, Coffret D’Or, was launched on December 16, 2007 in Japan. (The line is also available in Hong Kong and Taiwan as far as I know.) It is replacing the color makeup line T’Estimo and the base makeup line Revue.Upon seeing the first few images from the line a couple of months ago, I was not very enthusiastic. I thought the packaging was not particularly outstanding and the range of shades was not immensely imaginative.

However, as I saw more and more sneak-peek photos of the collection, Coffret D’Or’s debut lineup started to grow on me. I decided that I would try something from the line.

In many Japanese brands, I think the eyeshadow palettes play an important part in defining the image of the brand, in terms of both packaging and shade combinations. Their 3D Lighting Eyes in 04 Purple Variation really caught my eye. So there was no question which item I would want to try first.

I like the packaging of the palette. It is like a small gift box wrapped in jeweled ribbons. (Many Japanese brands are able to do cute and elegant at the same time without ever appearing tacky.)

04 Purple Variation faces severe competition with my other lilac-based palettes.



The individual shades deserve a detailed mention. First of all, the upper white strip consists of two finishes. (In the photo, you can see that the left half is slightly whiter than the right half.) The right half is a medium pigmented white with very fine multi-color sparkles. The left half is sheerer and has slightly larger multi-color sparkles. The two parts are meant to be used together as a base (swept across with a brush or a wide sponge-tip) but they can still be used individually. I think the reason the two halves are packaged like this is to showcase the variation of sizes of sparkles and the multi-dimensional effect that they can create together (the namesake 3D effect, I suppose).

On the second row, from left to right:
— a dusty pink with very smooth shimmer and very fine sparkles (medium pigmented)
— a sheer and very pale blue with mild shimmer and slightly larger multi-color sparkles (not glitters)
— a well-pigmented muted violet with sparse multi-color sparkles

The dusty pink has a very mild warm mauve undertone and the pale blue has a hint of cool pale lilac undertone.

The palette is a joy to use. The texture of the powder is very smooth, the shades go on very easily, and blending is effortless.

What some people like about eyeshadow palettes of some Japanese makeup lines is that there are step-by-step instructions on how to use a palette to create the look that it is designed to create and to achieve the look in the promotional image.

(instructions on the back of the outer packaging)
(Please click on the image to see a larger version)


These instructions are very useful for people who may be wary of using 4 or 5 colors on the eyes at the same time and for people who might not feel comfortable asking sales assistants for application tips.Before I explored other possibilities, I decided to follow the instructions to see what this palette can do for me. I was very pleased. The main idea of this range of palettes is to use the B shade (please refer to the photo above), which is slightly darker and less sparkling, in the outer 2/3 above the eyes to create subtle shadowing and the C shade (paler and more sparkling) in the inner 1/2 above (which overlaps the B shade) and below the eyes to make them pop.

I put the two photos together so you don’t need to refer back and forth:



The finish look is very soft, natural, and sensual, as the B and C shades are both relatively light. But the palette manages to very effectively enhance the dimension of the eyes. I think the delicate variation in shades, pigmentation, shimmer, and sparkles in this palette is a success. Every single element in this palette is doing something that you can see. 

Out of the five promotional looks (modeled by five Japanese actresses as brand ambassadors for the line), I think the look presented by Tokiwa Takako best demonstrates the eye-sculpting effect of this range of eyeshadow palettes:

 

(Tokiwa Takako for Coffret D’Or)
(image from http://www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/coffretdor)


(Please note that Tokiwa Takako is using the 3D Lighting Eyes in 05 Gold Variation.)

The instructions seem to aim for a fresh and elegant daytime look. For a more intense evening look, smudging the violet shade further (instead of using the shade to simply line the eyes) will add more drama. (I tried that and it worked very well too.)

Overall, I adore this palette and the soft and understated look that it creates. The shimmer is smooth and velvety, and the multi-color sparkles are delicate but vibrant.

If you prefer a lot of impact for the eye makeup, then this range of palettes might not appeal to you as much. But perhaps Coffret D’Or will bring out more intense color combinations later this year. Judging by the quality of this palette, I think it is worth the wait…

Updated on January 28, 2008:

If you are interested, there are reviews of 02 Blue-Green Variation on My Women Stuff and Mostly Make Up.

My other lilac-based palettes, along with a very short comparison (please click on the links for full reviews):

Jill Stuart Brilliance Eyes in 04 Gem Amethyst
(The shades are sheerer and there are larger sparkles.)

T’Estimo Frame Impact Eyes in 03
(The lilac shades are cooler and there is a wider range of lighter and darker shades for a more intense look.)

Lavshuca Eye Color Select in PU-2
(This palette from Lavshuca’s fall 2007 collection is overall a slightly darker and warmer version of the Coffret D’Or one.)

Please feel free to leave your comment if you’d like to ask me for more comparisons among these palettes and shades!

Spot the Differences! Lancôme Spring 2008 Collection: L.U.C.I.

by PJ on Thursday, January 10, 2008

in -Lancôme, 2008 Spring, makeup

(L.U.C.I.: Lancôme’s spring 2008 collection)
(image from www.lancome-usa.com)

(promotional image in the UK)
(Notice the differences!)


You have probably read from great beauty sites like Makeup Bag about Lancôme’s spring 2008 collection.

I saw the collection in the shops a while ago. Then, as I was reading about the US release, I noticed some differences in what the collections consist of. While the L.U.C.I Eyes palette (in the seashell shape) sold in the US has the bronze shade, the two sold in the UK feature turquoise and blue. (The bronze option doesn’t seem to be available here.)

On the UK promotional image, both models are wearing the turquoise palette, which the model on the right (Daria Werbowy) is holding in her hand.

Moreover, all three palettes are available in Japan:

(image from www.lancome.jp)

The collection, L.U.C.I. (which stands for “Luminescent Ultra Colour Intelligence”), is Gucci Westman’s last collection for Lancôme. The identity of this collection is marked by the iridescent reflectiveness in various items.

I was paying particular attention to the shades of the shimmer and iridescence. For the L.U.C.I Eyes palettes, the white shade in A Ray of Green Light (the one with the turquoise) has yellowish green iridescence, while the one in A Ray of Blue Light has lilac iridescence.

Other iridescent/shimmer hues can be seen in:

The pale Color Fever Shine lipstick: pinkish lilac iridescence
The pale Color Fever Gloss: blue shimmer (not iridescence)
Ombre Glacée (in A Ray of Pink Light): pink iridescence
Traceur Design Eyeliner: lilac iridescence
The pink nail color: subtle blue iridescence

Some of the iridescent hues are quite intense, especially those from the white shades in the L.U.C.I. Eyes palettes.

This collection is certainly very unique and has a coherent concept and a distinctive look. For this, this collection deserves accolade, and I think makeup fans will constantly refer back to some of these items.

For me personally, even though I love blue-tinted lip glosses and lilac eyeshadows, I surprised myself by not being overly excited about this collection. I think I prefer the iridescence to be slightly more subtle. (I’d have to be very careful and use these shades very sparingly.)

But, if you like iridescent shimmer, you can surely add an eye-catching accent color to your eyes, lips or nails with this collection. Or, if you like a bit of an edge, then some of these items are definitely worth checking out.

Spring 2008 Makeup: Initial Observations and Thoughts

by PJ on Sunday, December 30, 2007

in -Dior, -Guerlain, -YSL, 2008 Spring, makeup

I stopped by several department stores in London a couple of days ago and saw that some spring 2008 makeup collections had been launched. I tested some of the items and I’d like to share some initial thoughts with you.

Givenchy’s spring 2008 collection (now available in Harrods), Denim Fétiche, features shades of blue and purple. The blue in the eyeshadow palette looks more vibrant and dimensional than it appears in photos and in the pan. Though still quite dark, it is not as ashy as it appears in some photos. It has some nice sparse silvery shimmer.

(In the two eyeshadow palettes, the top-left and bottom-right shades are shimmery, the bottom-left shades are matte, and the top-right shades are of a creamy texture.)

As for purples and mauves, the Prisme Again! Blush in #11 looks good with a combination of cold pinks and soft muted mauves.

Then I saw Guerlain‘s spring 2008 collection is Harvey Nichols. The palettes do look very nice. I tested the lilac and the blue palettes. The finish is smooth and matte, but it appeared to me that the powder doesn’t glide particularly well. I like the lilac palette, but I would like it even more if the bottom two shades had a little bit of a lilac undertone. (They are basically a pale grey and a dark grey.)

(Dior spring 2008 collection)
(image from www.joseishi.net/voce/)

Then I tested some items from Dior‘s spring 2008 collection in Selfridges. I of course tried the limited-edition item Flower Blossom. Even though I am still leaning toward not buying it, this impressed me the most out of all the spring items I tried so far. The texture of the powder is very smooth and silky. The soft and almost fluffy powder imparts a sensually shimmery finish. The light pastel shades are pigmented enough to still look quite distinctive.

Like me, some readers are concerned that the patterns will wear out. I think the embossed patterns should stay for quite a while if the colors are only used lightly every now and then.

(YSL spring 2008 collection)
(images from woman.excite.co.jp)

I also saw YSL‘s spring 2008 collection in Selfridges. The texture of Ombre Duo Lumière is soft and airy as usual, but none of the shade stands out. The Pop Stick Blush has a nice cooling sensation, but the finish as a blusher is too shimmery and glossy for my personal liking. The shades of Eyecolor Touche are less than exciting. Overall, for me, this is not one of YSL’s more inspiring collections.

One of the spring 2008 collectons I look forward to seeing is Chanel‘s. I know that it is already available in the US, but Chanel’s seasonal collections are usually launched later in the UK. So I will be waiting patiently.

Spring 2008 Makeup Trend Report

by PJ on Sunday, December 23, 2007

in -Anna Sui, -Chanel, -Clé de Peau, -Dior, -Givenchy, -Guerlain, -Lunasol, -MAC, -Shiseido, -YSL, 2008 Spring, all about Japanese cosmetics, makeup, seasonal makeup trend reports

I am sure many of you have seen some of the upcoming spring 2008 collections. Apart from returning guests like pink and beige, it seems that cool tones will be stealing the show.

Two major makeup trends for spring 2008:

– blue eye colors
– lilac eye colors

First, blue. Chanel‘s spring 2008 makeup collection, Aurora Blues Accent, is now out in the US, and blue takes center stage.

The new Chanel eyeshadow palette, Les 4 Ombres in Blue Cèlestes, includes a dark cold blue and a pastel blue. It also features grey, which is carried over from the makeup trend from fall 2007. The collection has a distinctive look, but I personally feel that it lacks a bit of warmth.

Givenchy‘s new denim-themed spring 2008 collection, Denim Fétiche, is also blue-oriented, right from the packaging to the shades.

Compared with Chanel’s collection, there seems to be a little more balance between cooler and warmer shades, which should make these palettes wearable for more people.

Coincidentally, the MAC for A-Mei collection, out in January 2008, includes a brighter, bolder, and slightly warmer blue. I have to say this is the kind of blue that I enjoy playing with more.

(MAC for A-Mei Eye Palettes)

The warm and cool palettes are also put together to complement each other to create more possibilities.

Let’s move on to purple. I have always loved soft purple shades like lilac/lavender as well as darker purples like violet. Since this fall, we have seen rich bright purples in fashion, especially in accessories. Mulberry‘s Bayswater patent leather bag in purple is just one example of a hot fashion trend in fall 2007.

Dior’s spring 2008 collection is very pretty in pink. It has a great mixture of warm and cool pinks, with mauves and lilacs as wonderful accent colors.

(image from www.joseishi.net/voce/)

The 5-Color Eyeshadow Palettes in 470 Spring Bouquet and 909 Pink May both look beautiful and feminine. Pink May (the lower of the two palettes in the photo above) seems to be a great assembly of pink, peach, soft lilac, and purple. This certainly carries more of a spring atmosphere than Chanel’s Blue Cèlestes palette.

Apart from blue, Givenchy‘s spring 2008 collection also incorporates elements of purple. I will be interested in seeing the actual color and finish of the blusher (pictured in the middle).

(part of Givenchy’s spring 2008 collection)
(image from www.cosme.net)

One of YSL‘s two new Ombre Duo Lumière palettes also features a plum-purple:

There are also collections and individual items that put blue and purple together to create a pleasing mix. Among them, Chanel’s 4 Fleurs de Chanel includes pale pink, blue, and lilac.

Anna Sui‘s latest eyeshadow addition, Glitter Eye Color Stick, features bright blue and purple. The two colors also jump out from the limited-edition items, Sui Lip Gloss and Eye Color Accent J palettes.

Guerlain‘s new array of 4-color eyeshadow palettes for spring 2008 includes a soft and sensual lilac palette and a cool blue palette. The blue one seems similar to the Chanel Blue Cèlestes in terms of the color combination.
(image from woman.excite.co.jp)

Clé de Peau‘s upcoming eyeshadow palette has a warm aqua blue and a stunning violet. A winning combination for me.

Finally, Lunasol‘s Sheer Contrast Eyes palettes include 03 Blue Coral and 02 Lavender Coral, two vibrant palettes with warm blues and very pretty purples. Lavender Coral looks particularly alluring to me.

(Lunasol Sheer Contrast Eyes)
(image from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/lunasol/)

It is worth mentioning that Lunasol’s existing eyeshadow palette ranges are doing extremely well this year. Skin Modeling Eyes (released spring 2007), Geminate Eyes (fall 2007), and Scent Form Eyes (fall 2006) occupy the top three positions in the eyeshadow category of @Cosme’ Best Cosmetics Award. I think the Sheer Contrast Eyes range, with the selection of both wearable and on-trend colors, is very likely to continue the immense popularity of Lunasol’s eyeshadows and Lunasol the brand itself.

I am personally very pleased to see more lilacs at makeup counters, as it is a very wearable color for me. As for blues, I am more excited about the warmer ones that seem to appear more from Japanese brands like Clé de Peau and Lunasol that we’ve just seen above.

I am probably going to pick up some (more) lilac eyeshadow palettes, and I will be reviewing them later on!

What about you? Are you happy with these spring 2008 makeup trends?

Coffret D’Or Spring 2008 Base Makeup Collection

by PJ on Wednesday, December 19, 2007

in -Coffret d'Or, -Kanebo, 2008 Spring, makeup, makeup - base makeup

(Kanebo Coffret D’Or spring 2008 base makeup collection)
(images from www.nikkei.co.jp)

The Coffret D’Or spring 2008 base makeup collection will be launched in Japan on March 1, 2008.

Coffret D’Or is replacing the color makeup line T’Estimo and the base makeup line Revue, so I have been waiting to see the base makeup lineup. As expected. the collection consists of the usual basics:

(top-down from left)
-Beauty Lasting Pack UV (powder foundation)
-Beauty Lasting Pack UV Case
-Beauty Lasting Liquid UV foundation
-Beauty Lasting Veil UV (foundation primer)
-Makeup Concealer (2 shades)
-Makeup Powder (loose powder refill, 1 shade)
-Makeup Powder Case
-Prismal Blush (4 shades)

The packaging is in keeping with the color makeup line, as some of the items look like presents wrapped up in pink ribbons.

Coffret D’Or has been growing on me. The packaging has been appealing to me more and more, and I have been reading positive reviews of their color makeup items.

Currently I am interested in the eyeshadow palette (3D Lighting Eyes) in 04 Purple Variation. I would love to try it and compare it with my T’Estimo Frame Impact Eyes in 03, which is also a lilac-based eyeshadow palette (out in spring this year).

I am also slightly interested in Full Styling Rouge (Glow), which is a collection of sheer lipsticks (as opposed to Full Styling Rouge (Color)).

(YSL spring 2008 makeup collection)

(Click on the image to see a larger version.)


YSL’s seasonal collections have been doing fairly well in the past few seasons. For the upcoming spring 2008, there is another relatively extensive collection in store for us.

The YSL spring 2008 makeup collection includes:

Rogue Pure Shine: 2 new shades
Golden Gloss: 2 new shades
Rouge Pure: 2 new shades
Mascara Volume Infini Curl: 1 new shade
Ombre Duo Lumière: 2 new variations
Eyecolor Touche: 5 shades (limited editions)
Pop Stick Blush: 3 shades (limited editions)
Palette Pop (limited edition)

So far, I have to say, overall, I am not too excited about the shades. Perhaps I will change my mind when I see the items in person.

But, for me, one exciting thing is that lilac and plum seem to be a big part of the spring 2008 makeup trend! We have seen Chanel’s and Lunasol’s stunning lilac eyeshadow palettes. (Both are already on my shopping list now.) On Makeup Bag’s post on Guerlain’s spring 2008 collection, we see that the purple eyeshadow palette is featured right in the center of the palette lineup. Now we see even more lilac/plum above in YSL’s Ombre Duo Lumière.

Keep them coming!

AYURA Spring 2008 Collection

Even though, for me, AYURA is my all-time favorite brand, I have not been talking too much about its makeup collections in the past few seasons. The previous few collections have been slightly lackluster and I have not been picking up new AYURA makeup items for a while.

But, finally, there is a pleasant change. While the sensual curves of the packaging remain, this is the very first time AYURA is using an intensely dark color scheme for its products. (Usually AYURA uses various pastel shades.)

I think the dark color scheme works very well here, alongside a touch of intricate pattens. Visually, this is definitely a new AYURA.

The AYURA spring 2008 “Aura Feel” collection includes:

Aura Feel Rouge: 21 shades (3 of which limited editions)
Aura Feel Veil blusher: 3 shades
Aura Feel Brush
Aura Feel Nail: 18 shades

The collection will be launched in Japan on January 23, 2008.

Magie Deco Spring 2008 Collection

(Magie Deco Spring 2008 Collection)

Magie Deco will release its spring 2008 color makeup collection in Japan on December 16.

The new line of product will be Pure Color eyeshadow singles, in 18 shades. Most of them are soft pastel shades for the spring.

New additions to the lineup include:

Shadow Brilliance 5-color eyeshadow palettes (2 new variations)
Lipsticks (6 new shades)
Fairy Rouge lip gloss (2 new shades)
Nail Color (5 new shades)

One of the new items that instantly caught my eye is the new Shadow Brilliance palette in 016 Cool Wind:

(Magie Deco Shadow Brilliance in 016 Cool Wind)
(image from www.cosmedecorte.com/magiedeco/index.html)

When Magie Deco was launched this fall, none of the five Shadow Brilliance palettes caught my attention right away. But this one above certainly did. I think it is the combination of the soft lilac and the minty green. Also, as an eye-lining shade, soft grey suits me better than brown.

Some of the Pure Color eyeshadow singles look great as well, especially the lilacs and pinks. I look forward to seeing the packaging of the quad case. (The website doesn’t have a photo of it at the moment.)

Do have a browse at the Magie Deco website to see all the existing and the spring 2008 items. The website is easy to navigate in itself and half of the site is in English. Plus it has good photos of all the products and the various shades.

(Thank you, Betsy, for letting me know about the site update!)

Dior Spring 2008 Makeup Collection

in -Dior, 2008 Spring, makeup

(Dior spring 2008 makeup collection)
(images from www.cosme.net)

Among western cosmetics brands, Dior‘s seasonal collection has been among those I look forward to the most, especially the limited-edition item.

The Dior spring 2008 makeup collection (launched in Japan on January 11, 2008) will include, among others, eyeshadows, lip glosses, and nail colors*. The base makeup additions will feature pressed powders (pictured bottom left) as well as Capture Totale Serum Foundation (bottom right), which will be a top-end foundation item for Dior.

Also part of the new base makeup lineup is DiorSkin Shimmer Powder (top middle), with gradations of shades. These have really caught my attention.

Dior’s limited-edition item for spring 2008 is named Dior Flower Blossom (not to be confused with the 5-color eyeshadow palette in #690 Flower Blosom). It will include 5 eyeshadows in pastel shades and a pressed face powder.

I have not come across a photo yet, and I will be updating this post when there is more information.

(*Dior’s cosmetics releases can vary substantially from country to country, especially the shades of eyeshadows and lipsticks.)
