On November 18th, Elégance will release a vast array of new items. It seems to me that this could be a revamp of at least part of Elégance’s makeup line, and the new packaging looks quite gorgeous. (I am filing this post under “Holiday 2009 Collections” only because of the timing of the release.)

Paul & Joe Holiday 2009 Collection

(images/info from www.paul-joe-beaute.com)

A few days ago, I happened to see Paul & Joe‘s holiday collection in Harrods. (I didn’t expect such an early launch in the UK.) I spent some time testing out the items, and I think most of them are quite wearable. The eye palette in 001 and the two loose powder eyeshadows should be great for creating smoky eyes .

According to the Paul & Joe (English) website, the eye palettes and the eyeliners as well as the loose powder eyeshadows and the face powders are sold as sets in Japan while all of them are sold separately in the UK and the US.

All the makeup items (and the two makeup pouches and the jewelry box) are currently available in Harrods, except the new Lip Lacquer. It will be launched later, along with the repackaged fragrances (Paul & Joe Bleu & Blanc) and the two bodycare items (Body Milk and Body Treatment Oil). (I have had Paul & Joe Blanc for a few years and I am planning to review it later.)

I quite like the colors of the packaging, as purple and gold do make a lovely combination. (But I think I would like the packaging even more if the patterns were a little more delicate.) By the way, the jewelry box retails for 15 pounds, which I think is relatively reasonable.

Here is a quick look at Chanel’s holiday 2009 makeup collection. The star item of the collection is Les Tissages Lamés, a gold-toned highlighter version of Les Tissages blushers.

Below is part of the rest of the collection. (The eyeshadow palette stands out for me, as warm green and light turquoise are relatively unusual shades for the holiday season.)

Update: Lunasol Holiday 2009 Collection

Earlier, I wrote about Lunasol’s holiday 2009 items that will be released on November 14th. On the same day, Lunasol will also release the limited-edition Party Coffret 2009. The set includes:

– Lighting for Eyes EX-05
– Geminate Liner EX-03
– Full Glamour Gloss N EX-11
– Shining Powder N EX-03
– original pouch

I like the white color theme used for this set. It is a refreshing change from the usual copper-brown cases, and it reminds me of the two Illuminating Eyes palettes that Lunasol released for holiday 2004.

Lunasol Sheer Contrast Eyes in Lavender Coral (Spring 2008)

Lunasol Scent Form Eyes in Leak (Fall 2006)
