Lunasol Fall 2009 Collection

One reader (and a fellow Lunasol fan), Gemilay, kindly posted a comment under my post on Lunasol’s summer 2009 collection. (Thank you, Gemilay!)

She mentions that the Lunasol fall 2009 collection will have a “starry sky” theme. This seems to have already generated much excitement and anticipation among Lunasol fans. (Rich deep colors with dreamy shimmer and sparkles?)

Lunasol released the “Moonlight Purification” collection back in fall 2006, with five Lighting For Eyes palettes among other items. As Lunasol’s seasonal makeup themes have been revolving around the idea of “purification”, perhaps the official theme for fall 2009 could be “starlight purification”.

I can’t wait to see the collection…

You can also see some sneak-peek photos of some of the items from Lunasol’s summer 2009 collection on Gemilay’s recent blog post. (The collection won’t be released in Japan until May.)
