SUQQU‘s holiday 2010 collection features two makeup kits, one base makeup and skincare kit, and a pressed face powder. Today I am featuring 2010 Christmas Makeup Kit A, with a particular focus on the limited-edition Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-01 Yukiyo.

I always look forward to Dior’s seasonal limited-edition star items, especially the ones for the holiday seasons. Dior’s Minaudière palette from the brand’s holiday 2010 makeup collection didn’t disappoint me after I saw it in person. (I also like its very long full name: Dior Minaudière Makeup Must-Haves for Radiant Eyes and Lips Eyeshadow and Lip Gloss Palette. This must be some sort of a record…)
The palette has a nice size and thickness and feels quite weighty and substantial, and I like the chic vintage design. I also like the fact that the fingerprints left on the black textured surface of the case are not that visible. (I can’t really play with some of the past limited-edition items as much as I want to because of their glossy reflective surfaces…)
The palette closes magnetically and not with the clasps.

I got my Dior Minaudière palette (in 002 Pink Gold) from Dior’s holiday 2010 makeup collection. Unlike some of the past holiday limited-edition items from Dior with just lip colors, which I feel are too precious to use, I will be trying the eyeshadows in this palette and I will share my thoughts later on.
(By the way, I was looking forward to seeing the 5 Colour Iridescent Eyeshadow palette in Endless Shine and I thought there was a good chance that I might get it too. It did look good, but the beige gold was a little too golden for me and the golden peach didn’t look as dimensional as some of the similar shades I have.)

One of RMK‘s most popular items is Gloss Lips. As far as I know, it hasn’t been revamped for at least ten years, which is very unusual for a Japanese beauty line. (It was not replaced after RMK’s major revamp last year.)
Without counting the EX (limited-edition) shades, 39 shades have been available. (#39 is from the fall 2009 collection.) Currently 20 shades are available. (The number gaps indicate shades that were released and then phased out over the years.)
On December 3rd, a new version, Gloss Lips N, will be released in Japan. It will be available in 20 shades and in a variety of finishes. I am assuming that these 20 shades will replace the existing ones. If you have a shade which you can’t live without, it is time to stock up!
Also, on the same day, RMK will release 4 new shades of Ingenious Powder Eyes.

Chanel‘s holiday 2010 makeup collection, Les Tentations de Chanel, is chic and romantic. With items for eyes, cheeks, lips and nails, the collection features two distinct color schemes, brown and fuchsia.

The two color schemes are designed to work with each other, but they can of course work on their own. The pink-toned items include:
– Les Tissages de Chanel in Tweed Fuchsia
– Rouge Coco in Magnolia
– Lèvres Scintillantes in Charming
– Lèvres Scintillantes in Pink Pulsion
– Le Vernis in Pulsion

In this review, I am focusing on the brown-toned items in this collection, which include Les 4 Ombres in Tentation Cuivrée and Ombre D’Eau in Splash for the eyes as well as Rouge Coco in Patchouli and Lèvres Scintillantes in Pleasing for the lips.
