Featuring items for the eyes, cheeks, lips, and face, SUQQU‘s spring 2012 makeup collection is now available in the UK. Today I am highlighting two of the limited-edition items, Nuancing Cheeks in EX-03 Akanemizu and Bright Veil Face Color in EX-01. (In a later post, I will review Blend Color Eyeshadow in 10 Kozuecha and Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist in 01 Haruoto. (Updated: see the review here.))

Among RMK’s Christmas Palettes, the 2011 edition is certainly one of the better ones in terms of mix-and-match possibilities of the eyeshadows and blushers. For me, the highlights of the set are the blushers and the lip gloss. The collaboration with Kate Spade makes this limited-edition set extra special.

As with some of the previous years, SUQQU released two limited-edition Christmas Makeup Kits for the brand’s holiday 2011 collection. Both 2011 Christmas Makeup Kit A and B feature a limited-edition variation of Blend Color Eyeshadow, Eye Makeup Remover R, Eye Cream R, and Original Pouch. Today I am featuring 2011 Christmas Makeup Kit B, and I am focusing on Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-06 Usuchaori.

SUQQU’s fall 2011 makeup collection is a relatively small but perfectly formed collection. Earlier I reviewed Blend Color Eyeshadow in 08 Mizuaoi & Face Color Palette in EX-01, and they are both beautiful items. The eyeshadows are gorgeously creamy and Face Color Palette is a solid multi-purposed product.
When I reviewed SUQQU’s Creamy Glow Lipsticks in April, I mentioned that I thought SUQQU would probably bring out a sheerer range of lipsticks in the next few seasons. It turned out that I was right. I tested the limited-edition Creamy Glow Lipsticks Moist at the SUQQU counter, and they are considerably sheerer than the very intensely pigmented Creamy Glow Lipsticks. (But they are not overly sheer.) They also have a glossy finish that appeals to me. I hope there will be a more permanent range of sheer and glossy lipsticks from SUQQU later on.

Without a doubt, blue is one of the trend colors for fall 2011. Compared with gray from spring 2011, blue can often offer the same depth but with more vibrancy. This season, it is more about an intense smoky look with blue, but there are also softer alternatives.
A bright cobalt blue, NARS‘ Single Eyeshadow in Outremer (below) is one of the most striking blues of fall 2011. Its matte finish and high pigmentation level will surely please those who go for a bolder look.
