The spring 2013 makeup collection from Elégance includes two new variations of Phantom Eyes and one new variation of Fabulous Rouge. All of them feature delicate floral patterns, and I like the soft spring-like colors of Phantom Eyes in 28.

Aube Couture’s holiday 2012 makeup collection includes four variations of Designing Jewel Compact, with colors for eyes and lips. Each of the four variations comes in two cases, so there are technically eight palettes to choose from. I like 01 Gold Brown Set and I prefer the design of the black case.

Dior’s holiday 2012 Grand Bal makeup collection features chic gold-toned neutrals for the eyes and seductive reds for the lips and nails. The Grand Bal palette, in a sleek gold case, also includes a gold-toned eyeshadow, and I like the look of the Diorific items in the gold packaging as well. The collection has a glamorous and opulent feel.

For me, the highlight of Majolica Majorca’s holiday 2012 makeup collection is the new Cream de Cheek. It features four lovely shades and adorable packaging. It is good that this is not a limited-edition product, and I look forward to testing it later on.

Aube Couture’s fall 2012 makeup collection includes four new variations of Designing Impression Eyes. Both 561 and 563 look appealing to me, and I have bought and tried 561 (above). I have slight issues with a couple of shades in the palette, but it generally works well for me. I also love the gorgeous limited-edition case design.

Lavshuca’s fall 2012 makeup collection marks the start of the line’s image revamp. I have to say I don’t particularly like the new look, but the two new Lav Hearty Eyes palettes are eye-catching. I like the combination of pink and purple in PK-1 (above) as well as the golden brown in BG-1 (below).

Dior’s fall 2012 makeup collection features a variety of neutral and green tones. With most of Dior’s seasonal collections, the limited-edition star items were the ones that grabbed my attention first. However, with this collection, I prefer the 5 Couleurs palette in 774 Golden Savannah (above), the 5 Couleurs Designer palette in 308 Khaki Design (below), and the 3 Couleurs Glow palette in 651 Nude Glow (below) to the Golden Jungle palettes.

Coffret d’Or’s late summer 2012 makeup collection includes the new Beauty Face Shadow series (above), which features a highlighter in each variation for the lower-eye areas to help create a luminous complexion. (I am very interested in trying 02 Cream Brown.) The line’s early summer 2012 makeup collection includes the limited-edition Shine Fit Eyes, whose liquid/cream formula is rare from the line.

Paul & Joe’s summer 2012 Midsummer Nights makeup collection features limited-edition minty-green packaging and some eye-catching items, but I prefer the light-blue packaging from the summer 2011 collection and I also prefer the blue lip gloss from summer 2011 (Lip Gloss B in 001 L’Horizon Bleu) to the green lip gloss this season (Lip Gloss G in 002 Fairie Kisses). I do love the floral print of Blotting Paper 2012, which I will highlight a little later.

Lunasol’s summer 2012 makeup collection is a continuation of soft colors from the line’s spring 2012 collection. Even the rich blues and golden bronzes often seen in Lunasol’s summer makeup collections are replaced by powder blue and cool beige. The powder blue in Petal Pure Eyes in EX02 Fresh Coral (below) is the only non-pink/peach/neutral eyeshadow shade from Lunasol so far this year.
