I came across this eyeshadow palette on YSL‘s on-line store in Japan. The Eyeshadow Palette 1998 is inspired by the colors on the greeting card that Yves Saint Laurent sent to his family, friends, and colleagues in 1998, which marked the 40th anniversary of his professional creative activity in fashion.
The four colors symbolize the brand icon, the sun, the Marrakesh sea, and Majorelle Garden.

Each individual palette comes with a unique serial number as proof of authenticity.
According to the site, this palette is a limited-edition Japan-only web-exclusive item. (The site delivers within Japan only.) But it might become available in some other countries later on.

Last year, Maison Martin Margiela launched it first fragrance, (Untitled). The stellar creation combines the cool and dry citrus green sensation and the woody and smoky warmth. It is one of the few smoky scents that appeal to me. This year, the fashion house launched a lighter version of the scent, (Untitled) L’Eau.
(Untitled) L’Eau features notes of mandarin orange, lemon, crushed leaves, curly-leafed mint, and buchu. It is predominantly a citrus green scent with hints of woodiness and smokiness.

For the last few summers, Lunasol has been releasing two eyeshadow palettes as an extension of the spring makeup themes. They usually consist of a neutral-toned palette and a more colorful one, and they are usually limited editions. I never went for these summer palettes until I decided to try Ocean Scene Eyes in EX01 Shelly Ocean for summer 2011.

Chanel‘s Collection Byzance de Chanel and the ultra-exclusive Lumières Byzantines de Chanel (which is technically not part of Collection Byzance de Chanel) are certainly some of the most anticipated releases from Chanel so far this year. Here is the information regarding availability in the UK:

Recently, quite a few major makeup brands have released sheer or semi-sheer ranges of lipsticks, from Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine (see review here) and Dior’s revamped Dior Addict Lipstick to YSL’s Volupté Sheer Candy and Laura Mercier’s Gel Lip Colour. For spring/summer 2011, Burberry (see brand profile here) has released Lip Mist, also a range of semi-sheer lipsticks. Today I am highlighting 209 Feather Pink.

Back in 2007 (how time flies…), I posted about why I loved blue lip glosses (and why you should try them). I am happy that, over the years, many of you have told me that you also love how they add depth, dimension and transparency to your lips. Now, I bring you the summer 2011 additions of blue lip glosses.

I have been interested in Addiction since its launch in fall 2009, but, product-wise, the new Cheek Stick from the brand’s summer 2011 makeup collection has caught my eye the most. Designed mainly as blushers, the eight available shades can also be used as eyeshadows and lipsticks. (Some of them can also be used for highlighting and contouring.)

Dior will be releasing Palette Lady Dior as an ultra-exclusive item (as with the Tailleur Bar Palette and the Mitzah Palette Set). It is inspired by the new Tweed and Crocodile Lady Dior Bag, one of the latest editions of the iconic Lady Dior bag from Spring/Summer 2011.

Even though I adore the style of the Lady Dior bag, I am not overly keen on the tweed version or the palette itself. (I think I prefer my own Lady Dior from spring 2009.) But…who knows…maybe I will change my mind about the palette if I have a chance to see it in person……
