Jill Stuart Fall '09

Jill Stuart will release its fall collection on 1 August in Taiwan and 7 August in Japan.


While the ad visual is gorgeous, nothing much interests me from this collection except for the blue/grey palette which is an unusual color combination for Jill Stuart. There is the usual pink and beige combo which Jill Stuart does very well (but seriously how many pinks and beiges does one need?!). The Mix Compact Blushes look too similar to other existing shades in the line-up. Based on my experience of owning 5 MCBs, the differences in the colors is actually quite subtle once applied. It would have been more interesting if Jill Stuart experimented with different textures such as more shimmery blushes along the lines of Nars for example. The lipglosses also look run-of-the-mill and plain boring to me. The good news is that all the items appear to be permanent so there's no need to rush to get these just for fear of them selling out.
