Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
Kosé Visée had a major renewal in fall 2013. The line used to have an edgy vibe but it did start to release items with a more feminine look before the revamp. The new look, with dark cases and intricate details, appears to be quite popular. One of the three eyeshadow palette series launched in fall 2013 is Glossy Rich Eyes, and I decided to go for BR-5 Gold Brown.

Est was launched by Kao in 2000. Excluding brands from companies acquired by Kao Corporation (such as Kanebo Cosmetics Inc.), Est is currently Kao’s only department-store beauty brand in Japan. It was launched as a high-end range under Kao Sofina and it used to be sold at Sofina counters in department stores. (“Est” used to stand for “Essence of Sofina Technology”.) Since it became independent from Sofina a few years ago, it has been having its own department-store counters. (Sofina is now mainly available in drugstores and pharmacies in Japan.)

With natural-looking colors in a glamorous and substantial-looking case, Dramatic Mood Veil from Shiseido Maquillage was love at first sight. For me, it is the centerpiece of the newly renewed Maquillage, and I was really looking forward to trying it.

With vibrant colors and deep burgundy-brown packaging, Paul & Joe‘s summer 2015 Midnight Sangria makeup collection has a striking look. I decided to pick up Lip Gloss M in 002 Strawberry Kiwi, which is my favorite item of the collection.

Jill Stuart, in its 10th year, seems to be going through a renewal. So far in 2015, there has been at least one new product for every season (Ribbon Couture Eyes for spring, Forever Juicy Oil Rouge and Stay True Gel Eyeliner for summer and Rouge My Dress for fall). There are also new foundations (Everlasting Silk Powder Foundation Flawless Perfection for spring/summer and Rich Moisture Silk Powder Foundation for fall/winter). Moreover, from mid-August, Jill Stuart counters in Japan will have a new look.
Earlier this year, I decided to go for Ribbon Couture Eyes in 04 Gemmy Cashmere, which is the second eyeshadow palette I got from the brand (after Brilliance Eyes in 04 Gem Amethyst back in 2007).

Stella McCartney‘s Stella Eau de Parfum was relaunched in fall 2014, and I was wondering how the brand would re-develop the range. This spring, it (relatively quietly) launched Stella Eau de Toilette, and of course I decided to add it to my collection.

A couple of things stood out for me when I was looking at the initial images of NARS Christopher Kane Neoneutral Collection for summer 2015. Firstly, I liked the neon pink NARS logo with Christopher Kane’s name across it. Secondly, the bold color of Blush in 4056 Starscape looked appealing to me. I stopped by NARS a while ago and thought I would probably only get Starscape, but I gave in and picked up Duo Eyeshadow in 3903 Parallel Universe and Shimmer Eyeshadow in 2095 Outer Limits as well.
