.

For spring 2013, among many fairly colorful makeup collections from various brands, pink and green seem to be two of the trend colors. There is a range of pink hues, from soft peachy pinks to dramatic fuchsia pinks. On the other hand, green has been a key shade for some time (spring 2012 and fall 2012). The palettes from Mary Quant (above) and YSL (below) include both shades.

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.

Kao Sofina Aube Couture Designing Impression Eyes 555 Brown Spring 2012 Makeup 1

.

In my own little world of makeup discovery, 2012 is probably the year of Sofina Aube Couture. Designing Impression Eyes in 553 Purple is the first item I purchased from the line since its revamp from the original Aube. I have then picked up three more variations, one of which is the limited-edition 561 Purple from fall 2012, and today I am sharing my thoughts on my second purchase, 555 Brown (released in spring 2012).

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.

.

For fall 2012, Sofina Aube Couture released four new (limited-edition) variations of Designing Impression Eyes in limited-edition cases. I was instantly attracted to the combination of lilac and dark blue in 561 Purple as well as the design of the case. With good experiences with Designing Impression Eyes in 553 Purple, I decided to go for this palette.
