Fall 2009 Collection Thoughts – The Japanese Edition

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Summer isn’t over yet but the fall collections are coming out in droves! I’ll start with est from Kao. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest and priciest brands around. Releases on July 25th.

I would love to own an eyeshadow palette from their Emotional Multiple Eyes range but ¥ 5775 for a palette is just ridiculous!

The following subsidiaries from Kanebo have got my salivary glands working overtime! First up are the Star Shower Eyes palettes from Lunasol. Releases on August 21st.

I simply can’t choose one, I think all five are amazingly beautiful!

Another brand that got my attention would be Lavshuca with its aptly titled Light Mix Eyes. Releases on August 1st.

The petal like pans makes these palettes very vanity worthy. I adore BU-1!

Kate is also releasing its fall collection on August 1st.

Kate never fails to dazzle with their eyeshadow palettes! I can’t decide on a favourite on these Reflect Mirror Eyes palettes!

Ayura is the only brand from Shiseido that caught my attention seeing as Majolica Majorca is not releasing an impressive fall collection.

Ayura is adding PK02 at ¥ 3990 to their existing Feel Shadow collection. Releases on July 23rd.


Which item from the fall collections caught your attention? =D

Shopn'Chomp said...

omg, lemming alert! (they all look good :)

Hana aka acutelife said...

I always lemming for lunasol palettes :p but kinda pricey so I'm still waiting the right time (read:birthday haha) to buy. Kate and luvshuca are my two alltime faves :D kate are readily available here in bangkok but not luvshuca :T

♡ Nic Nic ♡ said...

but KATE looks tempting..

BTW, i am wearing falsies. they are halfies :)

Jess said...

Drool... all the palettes are so tempting. But most of all, the Lunasol palettes, since I'm so in love with this brand currently, hehe!

02, 03,04 are sooooo pretty! <3

DarlingSummer said...

ooooOOo so tempting! Thanks for the heads-up, I can't wait! =P

Ahleessa said...

Wow so many collections are coming out! Then all I could do is just look and admire since it's hard to find those here... lol~ Are you planning on getting anything? I wondered what... hehe~

I'm so curious what Korean brand you're using as a makeup base. Oh well, I guess I'll never find out... hehe~ :P

Yeah, there are a lot of products with spf but there are a lot without still thankfully! :) The first question I ask the salesperson is does it have spf?... lol~ They usually think I want products with spf, but it's the other way around. :X

The accident with the Maltese is funnier if you saw it... hehe~ :P The funny thing is Tobey walked off like he never noticed the Maltese. :X

Edna said...

Wow, look at all the pretty eyeshadows and their packages :)

Iyah said...

OMG I want some Lunasol!! but they are just too expensive :X

Luna said...

Great photos!! I was drooling from top to bottom! I love the Lunasol, Lavshuca and Kate!! Lunasol especially is just stunning and I'm lemming for all 5 of them!! Oh why are they so expensive.. At least Lavshuca and Kate are reasonably priced! I wish I could haul them in TW where its even cheaper.. =X

Luna said...

haha I've already got 2 of the Castledew palettes and love them very dearly =)

Yes I did see the JS fall collection and am currently lemming for Little Bouquet!! It looks very lovely and sound cute! haha what more can you ask for...

Moral of the story is that I've got wayyyy to many lemmings O_o

Luna said...

hahaha no way I'm the haul queen.. so many others who are more "powerful" than me =P

The Castledew Diacut Cheek is frostier and more shimmer while JS Mix Blush is matte but the Diacut has 9 shades which imo provides more varieties in the looks you can get, from more pinkish to more peachy.

The color payoff for the pressed Diacut Eyes is better than the baked one, but I kinda prefer the Color Shot Eyes as I find that as a palette the colors match better. However I find the texture of the baked Diacut Eyes smoother and less fallout compared to the rest.

Ooh... I am such a softie when it comes to eye palettes and its even harder when they look as good as those you posted. Damn, I can imagine testing each and every shade and wanting to buy them all... :)

Ahleessa said...

Lol~ Your sentence didn't tempt me even though it sounds good. The best place to buy Japanese products is Adam Beauty... hehe~ It's much better than the ones you mentioned or at least I think so. ;)

I'm into greenish khaki color too... hehe~ I have way too many of those colors *sigh*. :X

I'm always tempted to buy things, but I try to avoid. I try to reason why I don't need it. Sometimes it fails... lol~ For example, I bought 3 eyeshadows I don't need this week *sigh*. Thankfully, their drugstore brands... hehe~

Luna said...

hehe i love sharing the lemmings.. No problem about the questions, I love talking about makeup anyway.. =)

I have such a hard time choosing between the Lunasol palettes as they are all sooooo beautiful!! But if I absolutely had to choose, it would be a toss up between 02 Medium Night and 03 Dazzling Night... What bout you?

Ahleessa said...

Your comment went through... hehe~ ;)

Thanks for telling me about Adam Beauty. I didn't know he doesn't stock everything. Now I know!... ho ho ho~

Is that why we all like khaki color? It's kind of funny because none of my Asian friends like that eyeshadow color. I thought it was only us... hehe~

I wish I was a careful shopper, but I have to say I'm not unfortunately. I like to buy way too much that's why I have a huge collection *sigh*. :X

mszcheysser said...

Daaaang! Look at all those pretty palettes, but I never seen any like those here on Guam. (We suck, yes I know) Where will I be able to find them? Japan =O

Luna said...

Wow you've been scrutinizing all the Lunasols so closely! great analyses! I agree that 02,03 & 04 are the most unique and I would love to get my hands on any (all) of them!! =P

I need to see the KATEs up close, but generally Kate and Lavshuca are auto-buy brands. Cheap and good stuff!

Will you be ordering them online? or getting a CP?

Crystal said...

i know what you mean about lunasol! they're so pretty but so expensive! only kate and lunasol are available here among the brands you mentioned so i get my fill from kate only.

mayaari said...

aww - Fall collections are already coming out and I've barely used a spring palette! lol...darn those Lunasol palettes for looking so pretty!
