Ever since Chicca‘s debut in spring 2008, I had been wanting to try something from the brand. (See my profile of the brand here.) I was fairly interested in Flush Blush (a cream blusher), which was in the brand’s launch lineup. However, I thought I’d wait for a powder-based blusher to be released. (I tend to prefer powder-based blushers.) To my delight, Flush Blush Powder was launched as part of the brand’s spring/summer 2013 base makeup collection, and I purchased 04 Sweet Pink in 2014.

When I saw the initial images of Lunasol‘s Vivid Clear Eyes from spring 2013, I thought the neutral-toned variations seemed a little too light for me. Later on, I had a chance to see the range in person and I decided to pick up 04 Khaki Beige Collection.

Fall 2015 Makeup Top 10 (Part 1)

I feel that some of Lunasol‘s recent seasonal makeup collections lack flair and imagination. Its fall 2015 Captivating Purification makeup collection has a chocolate theme, which we have seen for many times from other brands. However, Selection de Chocolat Eyes in EX01 Chocolat Noir, with its intensely dark shades, is not only the standout item in this collection but also one of the line’s more memorable eyeshadow palettes in the last few seasons.
