NARS Spring 2013 and more from Voce

The February issue of Voce comes with a extensive catalogue of the Spring 2013 collections from 58 brands. Biteki and Maquia also produce similar catalogues but Voce usually has the most comprehesive version. It's a very useful guide for planning one's purchases and also keeping track of all the different releases.

Supermodel Stella Tennant is the face of NARS' spring collection, which will land in Japan on 15 February. NARS Japan uses numbers for shades, instead of the English names. The collection includes two Duo Eyeshadows (Mad Mad World and Bouthan), a Single Eyeshadow in Persia, a Dressed to Kill Lipstick, a Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in gold, a Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in Cythère, a Blush in Seduction and a Nail Polish N in Disco Inferno.

The Laduree spring collection turns out to be more extensive than I earlier reported. Not only are there three Mini Face Color Trios and two Cream Cheek Bases, there will also be a new Lip Lacquer (3360yen, 5 shades), Creamy Eye Color (4200yen, 6 shades) and Pencil Eyeliner (2625yen; 4 shades of which 2 are LE).

The Face Color Rose Laduree Mini Case is limited edition and will retail for 1575yen.




For Suqqu (out on 1 Feb), I think I can safely skip the three new Blend Color Eyeshadow palettes although they are limited edition.

The Face Color Palette and Eyeliner Creamy EX02 in deep navy with blue pearl look very promising though. Everything in this collection is limited edition.


I'm looking forward to the minty blue tones of the YSL collection, set for release on 18 January. It also includes four new shades of Glossy Stains (Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres).


Love this swatch collage of the new Jill Stuart Nail Lacquer R (out on 11 Jan).

Addiction lands in stores on 11 Jan. There's no sign of the compact case with the dinosaur print listed, so I'm not sure if that will be released for sale.

Three (out on 16 Jan)

Lavshuca, due out on 1 Feb.


Brigitte's spring collection, which is already in shops, includes Nudy Contrast Powder (1470yen, 2 variations), Marble Creamy Cheeks (1050yen, 3 shades) and Creamy Shimmering Eyes (1260yen, 3 shades).

Kate (1 Feb) will release four Goldish Eyes palettes (1680yen), Jewelry Mode Eyes GN-2, Slim Gel Liner Pencil (1260yen, 2 shades) and Teary Drop Liner (1260yen, 2 shades).
