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.

Canmake launched Mat Fleur Cheeks in fall 2014 with three very pretty variations, and 04 Mat Romantic Mauve released in summer 2015 looks just as lovely. I am also tempted by the new Lip Tint Syrup.

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.

When it comes to eyeshadows, purples and warm neutrals are the two color groups I go for the most, so it is great to see that the eye color items in Visée’s holiday 2014 makeup collection feature nothing but my favorite colors. Some of the Matte Nails shades are looking appealing as well, particularly PU100, a light lilac, and PK802, a lilac-toned pink.
