Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
In April, L’Occitane revamped its Pivoine Flora range and extended the Pivoine lineup with the new Pivoine Sublime skincare range. As far as I know, this is the second renewal of the original Paeonia range, which was released in 2010. (Read my review of Paeonia Eau de Toilette here.) Today I will be reviewing three items from the Pivoine Sublime range (Skin Perfector, Perfecting Cream and CC Skin Tone Perfecting Cream) and the relaunched Pivoine Flora Hand Cream.

When I came across images of SUQQU‘s spring 2015 makeup collection, I found quite a few items to be instantly appealing. One of them was Balancing Cheeks N in 04 Mizuhanamoya, and, upon seeing it in person, I decided to get it without much hesitation.

L’Occitane launched La Collection de Grasse in summer 2014 with four fragrances. (Read my review of Thé Vert & Bigarade, one of the four fragrances.) The range currently features ten scents, and Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc is the latest addition.

3rd: SUQQU

I am sure devoted fans of SUQQU have noticed that the brand’s makeup range has been changing over the last couple of years. The colors and tones are more varied as there are more non-neutral eyeshadow shades and more vibrant lip colors. The brand’s spring 2015 makeup collection is fresh and colorful. The three new variations of Blend Color Eyeshadow combine soft spring-like hues with neutral shades, which have always been the brand’s speciality. However, I am more drawn to the blushers and lipsticks in the collection. I picked up Balancing Cheeks N in 04 Mizuhanamoya and Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist in EX-16 Momobara and I will be reviewing them later. (Update: read the two reviews here and here.)

It is usually the eyeshadow palettes that are the stars of Lunasol‘s seasonal makeup collections, but, in the line’s spring 2015 Elegant Purification makeup collection, the new Stain Color Lips lipsticks are claiming the spotlight. The seven shades feature what the line describes as a “soft matte” finish. The cooler shades (02 Pure Pink, 03 Energy Pink and 04 Fresh Pink) are particularly appealing to me.

Since Shiseido revamped Benefique Theoty in spring 2013, the line has been gradually adding new items to its lineup each season. Its spring 2015 makeup collection features five shades of Lip Gloss (Smile Aura). The packaging is feminine and romantic as usual.

For spring 2015, Dior released the Kingdom of Colors palette, which is the limited-edition collector’s item for the season. It features colors for eyes, cheeks, lips and the overall complexion. I decided to get it with my Boots points.
