Majolica Majorca Fall 2017 featuring Milky Skin Remaker

Majolica Majorca is finally releasing a new foundation this fall on 21 October in Japan. The Milky Skin Remaker SPF28 PA+++ (1700yen, 10g) is a gel-type foundation that melds onto the skin to help create the look of a soft, fresh, milky complexion. Refills will retail at 1300yen. Sadly, it is available in only 2 shades, Light Beige and Natural Beige, because clearly, even in Japan, only these two light skin tones are worth catering to (*shaking my head*). It performs the following five functions: foundation, primer, sunscreen, finishing powder and moisture veil. There will also be a limited edition Sugar Moment Body & Hair Cream (800yen, 100g).

Lunasol Isetan Shinjuku Exclusive Shine Fall Eyes EX01

Kuri Nakagome posted this stunning picture of the upcoming Lunasol Shine Fall Eyes EX01 and Full Glamour Lips EX09 which will be sold exclusively at Isetan Shinjuku in Tokyo and Umeda Hankyu in Osaka starting 11 August. It's bewildering when companies push such attractive palettes as ultra-exclusives that are a pain to hunt down (unless you're willing to pay for a personal shopper service) instead of making it easily available as part of their permanent range and creating a win-win for both the company and consumers. Details on the rest of the Komorebi Jyouka collection can be found here.

Lancome Teint Miracle Liquid Foundation (3rd Generation)

Lancome will launch its third generation version of its popular Teint Miracle Liquid foundation SPF25 PA+++ (6000yen, 30ml, 7 shades) on 15 September in Japan. Boosted with moisture capture technology for improved hydration capability, it is formulated with an 'aura inside technology' with three types of pearl particles for creating a natural lustrous glow. The paraben-free and oil-free formula is also gentle on skin. This is the first time that I've seen a Lancome product being marketed as being paraben-free, although I could be wrong. Pic from Maquia.

Lancome is also teaming up with Olympia Le Tan for its Autumn '17 colour makeup collection launching on 18 August but it looks too kitschy and unappealing to me, especially the freaky lip-shaped lipsticks. You can see pics of it here. Pic below by At Cosme.

Paul & Joe Fall 2017 Base Makeup and Isetan Shinjuku Exclusive

Paul & Joe will release its new Liquid Foundation (4500yen) and Pressed Face Powder (4000yen for refill, 1500yen for case) on 1 September in Japan. The bird print case is limited edition.
