Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
One of the two limited-edition items of RMK‘s fall 2012 Deep Iridescence makeup collection is Deep Iridescent Eyes. The eyeshadow duo is available in six variations, and most variations feature tone-on-tone colors. Today I am highlighting 03 Iridescent Navy.

Today my Stash Debut 2012 series continues with Majolica Majorca Majolook (Illuminator) in BR788.
Even though I did have a few items from Majolica Majorca, I never tried eyeshadows from the line. After looking through the line’s eyeshadow palettes, I decided to go for Majolook (Illuminator) in BR788. The palette was released in the holiday 2008 season, but it was not a limited-edition item and it is still available.

Lavshuca released two Pure Blossoming Eyes Limited Edition Sets for summer 2012. Both sets (01 Pink and 02 Purple) looked very appealing to me, but I decided to go for 02 Purple mainly because the eyeshadow palette in the set reminded me of Lavshuca’s Eye Color Select in PU-1 from spring 2007 (with pale lilac, medium purple, dark blue, and pale yellow gold), a palette I regret not buying. (I have PK-1, BU-1, and PU-2.)

Sofina‘s color makeup line, Aube, was revamped in December 2008 to become Aube Couture. I had a chance to see Aube Couture in person earlier this year and I was very impressed by the Designing Impression Eyes series, which was launched in fall 2011. I currently have four palettes from the series, and 553 Purple was the first one I purchased. It is my first ever item from Aube Couture, and therefore I am highlighting it in my Stash Debut 2012 series.

Launched on May 18th in Japan, SUQQU‘s Blend Color Eyeshadow in 12 Konruri (the only makeup release from SUQQU for summer 2012) replaces 01 Kakitsubata (launched in fall 2010 and discontinued on May 17th in Japan). While they do appear similar, both their color tones and color compositions are considerably different and I think most people are likely to have a clear preference for one over the other. Today I am taking a closer look at 12 Konruri.

Today my Stash Debut 2012 series continues with Muji Eye Color (4 Color Type) in Plum 01.
Apart from homeware, clothing, and food, the Japanese lifestyle brand Muji carries health and beauty products, which include skincare, bodycare, haircare, and makeup items. I have been using Muji’s Mild Oil Cleansing (note it is no longer available in the UK), and today I am sharing my thoughts on my first makeup purchase from Muji.

SUQQU‘s Blend Color Eyeshadow debuted in fall 2010 as part of the brand’s product renewal. As more variations have been added to the range over the last few seasons, four of the original six have been discontinued in Japan (including the beautiful 01 Kakitsubata, replaced by 12 Konruri). 04 Keshizumi and 06 Ginbudou are the only two original variations still available in Japan, and today I am reviewing 06 Ginbudou. I am also featuring Creamy Glow Lipstick in 01 Saebana, also launched in fall 2010.

Today my Stash Debut 2012 series continues with Fasio’s Glass Reflection Eyes in BR-2.
Like Elsia, which I featured in Part 1 of the series, Fasio is a drugstore beauty line owned by Kosé. It currently carries base makeup, point makeup, and suncare items. The Glass Reflection Eyes series (5 variations, ¥1575) was released in Japan on July 16th 2011 as part of the line’s fall 2011 makeup collection, and I went for the gold-toned BR-2.

Today I am launching a new series: Stash Debut 2012. In the last few months, I purchased a few items from Japanese beauty lines I had never purchased from before and I also bought eyeshadow palettes from Japanese lines which I hadn’t previously own eyeshadows from. I have been trying these items, and, in the next few months, I will be sharing my thoughts on them. First up in the series, I am reviewing Elsia‘s Luxe Shine Eye Color in E-5.

A few weeks ago, I reviewed two of the limited-edition items from SUQQU‘s spring 2012 makeup collection (Nuancing Cheeks in EX-03 Akanemizu and Bright Veil Face Color in EX-01). Today, I am featuring two regular items from the collection, Blend Color Eyeshadow in 10 Kozuecha and Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist in 01 Haruoto.
