Ever since I tried out Coffret D’Or‘s Beauty Lasting Pact UV, I have always been looking forward to Coffret D’Or’s new base makeup items. (Beauty Lasting Pact UV is among the best powder foundations for oily skin that I have ever tried.)

On September 1st, Coffret D’Or will release its fall/winter base makeup collection. The new items feature Moisture Color Pearl, which provides extra moisture as well as a translucent finish for the skin.

The new items include:

– Beauty Essence Liquid (liquid foundation, 7 shades)
– Beauty Essence Color Veil (light control primer, 2 shades)
– Tone Up Highlighter (pen highlighter, 1 shade)
– Pure Crystalish Compact (light control powder, 2 shades)
– Retouch Veil (makeup retouch mist)
– Fall/Winter 2009 powder foundation case

(There doesn’t seem to be a new powder foundation for fall/winter 2009.)

Summer 2009 Makeup Top 10 (Part 3)

by PJ on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

in -Coffret d'Or, -Jill Stuart, -Kanebo, -Lunasol, 2009 Summer, all about Japanese cosmetics, makeup, seasonal makeup top 10

(continued from Part 1 & Part 2)

3. Jill Stuart

Jill Stuart’s summer 2009 collection includes a new Illuminance Eyes palette as well as items for lips and nails, but I am particularly interested in the new Jelly Eye Color N.

Jill Stuart’s (original) Jelly Eye Color is among the brand’s most popular products, but I have never tried it. (I much prefer powder eyeshadows.) Now that Jelly Eye Color N features an even more princessy packaging, there is almost no reason for me not to try at least one of the shades.

2. Lunasol

Lunasol’s summer 2009 collection continues the Floral Purification theme from spring. The plumeria series includes warm neutrals while the hibiscus series features vibrant cool pinks. The EX02 Summer Pink Gradation from the hibiscus series may be the last vibrant eye palette from Lunasol before fall’s slightly more sombre Stardrop Purification collection sets the scene for the rest of the year.

1. Coffret D’Or

(image from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/coffretdor)

Coffret D’Or’s summer 2009 collection is quite a sizable one, with a new lipstick range (Juicy Memory Rouge, 12 shades) and a new palette series (Color Mixing Eyes, 5 variations) among other items. Also, the early summer 2009 collection includes 8 new nail colors.

(image from www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/coffretdor)

Since 2008, Coffret D’Or’s eye palettes have probably been my most-used items for eye makeup. I really like the beautiful texture, the finish and the pigmentation level, not to mention the good staying power.

As I mentioned earlier, among the new Color Mixing Eyes palettes, I am liking the look of 01 Orange Brown Mix and 04 Lavender Purple Mix. I think I will try 04 first and see how it goes. I will certainly keep you posted on my thoughts.

Lunasol will release its fall 2009 collection in Japan on August 21st. As mentioned earlier, the collection will have a “starry night” theme.

The whole lineup includes:

– Star Shower Eyes (5 variations)
