Spring '09 Collections

Picked up Voce magazine at Kino this morning and its spring collections booklet did not disappoint! After poring over it on and off throughout the day, I've got so many items on my shopping list that I don't even know where to start...

Here's a look at some of the brands:

Cle de Peau (21 Jan): Nude/beige-themed makeup collection "Natural Absolute". Includes 3 new Liner Cremes which are super pricey at 6300yen.


Est (10 Jan): I'm very tempted by the look of the new Emotional Multiple Eyes palettes (5775yen) which are much more interesting and colorful than the usual gradational palettes by Japanese brands.


Fasio (16 Jan): Includes 8 Gradation Deep Eyes palettes (1365yen) and 4 Gradation Mix Face Colors (1470yen).


Kesalan Patharan (20 Feb): Includes 3 limited edition Eye Color Palettes (3990yen) and two Reflect Eyes (mousse eyeshadows) (2415yen).


Kate (1 Feb): Includes 5 Diamond Cut Eyes palettes (1680yen), Gradical Eyes BG1 and Deep Trap Eyes GN1.



Lavshuca (1 Feb): Includes 5 Grade Color Eyes (1680yen), new Separate Keep Mascaras and Finish Powders (1680yen) which comes in a much more simple tub packaging than the current loose face powders. Lavshuca doesn't usually release green palettes so it's nice to see one in the new line-up.


Majolica Majorca (21 Jan): The frumpy promo visual for this is quite disappointing by MM's usual standards. The theme of the collection is "Girly Erotica" but the promo visual looks anything but erotic.


Maquillage (21 Jan): Includes 5 Eyes Creator 3D palettes (3990yen_), 10 Eye Color N (Powder) (840yen), 10 Eye Color N (Cream) (840yen), 4 Face Creator 3D palettes (2940yen for refill, 1260yen for case).



This is a good month to shop for magazines at Kino as they are having a storewide 20% discount for cardholders so Voce cost me only $11.30. Kino also offers exclusive freebies with various local magazines each month. Currently, it's giving away a Nivea cream with Cleo, a clutch bag with Her World and a set of 5 Laneige skincare samples with a local Chinese magazine (can't recall the title exactly but Zoe Tay is on the cover).

Thanks for the preview! I can't wait for my issue to arrive. The Cle de Peau and Maquillage liners look similar with the blue print.

Oh I'm excited! Fasio looks interesting! Can't wait for them! Thanks for the updates!

Hi,

Merry Xmas to you too! Some of these Japanese brands are available in Singapore, like RMK, Lunasol, Anna Sui, Majolica Majorca and Shu Uemura so for those, I usually get them in Singapore. But for some like Jill Stuart, I would still have to ask my friend in Tokyo to help me buy them.

Have a great holiday season!

I prefer those Taiwanese versions of Jap magazines as they come in Chinese & cheaper. One of my favourite is 'With'

I have been waiting for Kate Deep Trap GN-1 that was shown on that Voce magazine. But when I checked Kate website today, the color looked different. I wonder if they cancelled releasing this color.

Haru said...

Hi Pei,

I don't think that Kate cancelled releasing the GN1 palette but rather the swatch on the Kate website may be a bit different from what was printed in the Voce magazine.

I found the GN1 palette is listed on the Kate website catalog.

Hi Haru,

Yes, that is the same number as listed in the magazine. Too bad the color is a little different. I was waiting for that pink-blue-purple combination since I saw it in Voce. I am not sure though how the current GN-1 will look like, since the color in the pic is usually different than when you wear it :)
