With fresh and colorful packaging, Kracie’s Aroma Resort bodycare line caught my attention a couple of years ago. I had a chance to test some of the products from the line last year and I went for Hand Cream in Happy Sweet Peach.

2014 Summer
Back in 2008, I posted about the cute nail and cuticle oils I had. As I said, they are not absolute necessities for me and I don’t use them on a daily basis. However, I did get two more in the last couple of years. (Yes, I still like the cute-looking ones……)

– I had a look at SHISEIDO’s Face Color Enhancing Trios for fall 2014 (£32 each). I was interested in PK1 (Lychee) (particularly the pink blusher), but the blusher shade turned out to be very pale. The whole variation was more for finishing and highlighting. All the other three variations didn’t really suit my skin tone.

– SUQQU opened its second counter in London at Fenwick Bond Street on August 4th. (It is great to see SUQQU continue to expand in the UK.) To celebrate the opening, Blend Color Eyeshadow in 08 Mizuaoi from fall 2011 is back for a limited period at this counter. Also, SUQQU’s fall 2014 makeup collection will be released in the UK on August 21st.

3rd: Chicca

For me, the highlights of Chicca’s summer 2014 Summer Horizon makeup collection are the lip items. The two new shades of Mesmeric Gloss On look eye-catching (the golden 04 Monochrome Gold and the pink 05 Moon Pink with sparse blue-toned shimmer). Among the three new shades of Mesmeric Lipstick, I like 08 Rose Glacé (the top one in the image), which is a red pink with a subtle rose undertone. It is an understated and elegant color.

6th: Integrate

Integrate’s summer 2014 makeup collection features two new variations of Rainbow Grade Eyes, and both look very appealing. I particularly like RD715 with its mauve pink (which reminds me of Coffret d’Or’s 3D Lighting Eyes in 04 Purple Variation), and I also like the bronze beige in the limited-edition 2 Summer Girl.

10th: Bobbi Brown

There is something quite Japanese about Bobbi Brown’s Surf & Sand Eye Palettes for summer 2014. Japanese beauty lines, such as Lunasol, often release eyeshadow palettes with warm neutrals and those with combinations of neutrals and greens/blues for summer, and the Surf & Sand Eye Palettes remind me of them.

YSL‘s new Couture Palettes for summer 2014 are now available in some countries. The creation of these palettes is inspired by the Mondrian dresses designed by Yves Saint Laurent. Here is a look at the eleven variations:

– I have learned that the Paul & Joe Beauté counter at Fenwick Bond Street in London was closed yesterday.
This is such a shame. Most of my Paul & Joe purchases were made there, and I really liked the spacious counter with a relaxing atmosphere. The staff members there were exceptionally polite and friendly, and I want to thank them for being so helpful to me over the years.
Harrods has the only staffed Paul & Joe Beauté counter in London at the moment. The Paul & Joe section in the Beauty Workshop at Selfridges Oxford Street is unstaffed.
