The visuals for this don't excite me as much as the previous few collections have - it all looks very brown with no other notes to the colours. However, it is Suqqu, so I will go along and have a look. The contouring shadow duos do look interesting.
The last couple of collections have disappointed me - Francois needs to step away from the glitter if he wants to woo me back. I am somewhat interested in the Brumes eyeshadow duo (matte dark grey and shimmering charcoal blue, although I'll have to see if this is different enough from the Underworld duo I already own) and the Mekong single (chocolate with rose and gold iridescence, although again, I'll need to compare this to the dark side of the Cordura duo I own.) I'm not looking at the lipstick, Fast Ride (sheer mulberry); although it is a pretty shade, NARS lipsticks suck all the moisture from my lips. The nailpolish in Tokaido Express looks gorgeous, but NARS nailpolishes have been an utter pain to apply in my experience, so I'll be buying the Chanel Gondola instead.
The Venise collection is definitely speaking to me. I'll be buying the Gondola nailpolish instead of the NARS Tokaido express. The Murano eyeshadow quad is a definite possibility too, because I love Murano glass, and I like the translation of the idea of it in the quad. As ever, Chanel does some gorgeous red lipsticks, and I will definitely be looking at Clandestine and Captive. These both look like warmer reds from the pictures I've seen, which will be interesting against the cool eyeshadow tones.
Illamasqua
I have no idea what the Autumn collection is going to bring, but I am sure the visuals will be stunning! I am eager to see whether there are any new products coming out, or if the collection will be existing products in new shades. I'd like more shades of the liquid metal (like a verdigris green, and a pewter.)
MAC
I'm not usually a MAC collection person, but I'm quite interested in Style Black - the mineralise eyeshadow with purple streaks, and possibly the Black CCB. I love the look of the sheer black lipgloss with gold shimmer, but I have to remind myself that I hate MAC glosses. I have no idea when this collection is coming out, either here or in the US though (we've only just gotten the new Starflashes, and who can keep up with all the MAC collections?) Makeupstash.com and Toomuchblush both have some good pictures of this collection.
The links are to the Japanese and US websites, respectively (where these collections have already been released.)
Which collections are you most looking forward to for autumn?

Wow! Those coming collections look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment, XOX
Hello Catanya
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting - it's really lovely to 'see' you again.

For me probably Chanel and Illamasqua, although I am slightly tempted by those Givenchy eyeshadow quads, not really a Givenchy fan but think they maybe worth a look.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen Guerlain and Clinique out here, nothing from them I'd buy.
I've not tried Suqqu, looks really nice though, hopefully it will have store online for UK customers at some point.
Hi Replica
ReplyDeleteThe Chanel collection looks lovely; it's probably the one I'm most excited about. I've never really gotten into Givenchy, not sure why but it doesn't appeal.
If you ever wanted any Suqqu, do give me a shout. I'm often by the counter and I'd be happy to help you get hold of some.
PS: Got my latest Rouge Bunny Rouge Order. Hummingbird is pretty, a little darker than I expected, but v pretty. I picked up a few other bits and pieces, will post about them soon. Zuneta has started sending confirmation and delivery emails now, which is much better.
Thanks for stopping by

Obviously I am bursting with anticipation about the illamasqua contest... I know a bit about it, but I'm not allowed to say yet lol! NARS is always worth a look too - I've not been interested in Chanels stuff for a long time as I feel the collections went off the boil for a while, so I'll have to see about that one!
ReplyDeleteHi Mizzworthy
ReplyDeleteWell, do put in a word for a Pewter liquid metal, won't you? :D
NARS has been off-form in the last couple of collections for me - I hope I like this one. This Chanel collection seems to have a much stronger and more attractive theme to me than some of the more recent ones - I have high hopes for it!
Thanks for visiting

Hi Grace,
ReplyDeleteDon't encourage me to try another brand ;) still if I get the urge I will contact you about Suqqu, thanks for the offer.
I know what you mean about Givenchy but I saw a picture of one of the palettes on that autumnmasquerade blog and it does look pretty...
Regarding RBR I hope it wasn't my picture that made it look lighter than it really was, I really like it but am using it more as a crease shade. Can't wait to hear about the rest of the stuff you ordered x
Hi Replica
ReplyDeleteYour picture is very accurate - on the RBR I think it was the word Delicate in the title that threw me, but when I look at the swatch and the description (plum) they're both spot on, so it was me, not the description! I do really like it.
