I know Suqqu is a brand that is quite difficult to get hold of (it's currently available in Japan, Thailand and Selfridges in the UK.) The colour swatches on the Suqqu website can be quite small and difficult to judge, so I thought it might be helpful to post some product pictures and my descriptions.
If my mother ever comes across this blog; a lot of these were birthday and christmas presents from Mr London. I did not buy them all myself, honest. They were also acquired over a two or so year period. Each quad is £38 for 8g.
From left to right, top row
Souryoku (01): bone, blackened emerald, emerald green with gold sparkle, iridescent pale green.
Gokushi (02): pale pink, deep smoky purple, plum brown with purple sparkle, semi-matte greyed lavender.
Shunboku (04): peach, dark shimmering charcoal, shimmering silver, pale sparkling pink
(All from Moss Monochrome (A/W 07.) The theme/mood of this collection was smokier colourful eyes with soft neutral lips and cheeks in brown/beige/peach/rose shades.)
Touryoku (06): light greyish green, bright grass green with gold sparkle, bamboo green, white sheer sparkle.
Koucha (08): pale beige, deep brown with gold sparkle, shimmery peach, white sheer sparkle
(Both from Kirari (S/S 08.) The theme of this collection was about the sparkle of water over colours - all the colours were designed as if they were being viewed through a layer of clear crystalline water. These are sheerer than the A/W 07 quads, and the cheeks for this collection were a soft bronze with gold iridescent highlighter, and the lips were sheer corals/orange/pink/beige.)
Sakuragi (10) : sheer flesh, dark plum/brown, shimmering heather taupe, iridescent lavender.
(This was from the Sakurakage (S/S 09.) The theme of this collection was the contrast of the sakura blossom against the leaves/bark of the tree, and it introduced the pink contour shadow singles. There was no specific blush released with this collection, but I wear this with the pink toned blend cheeks Shanrimomo (03). The blend lipsticks with this collection were pink toned, echoing the sakura theme.)
Bottom Quad is Hoshikage EX01 - (limited edition from Christmas 08): shimering beige, dark cool brown with lots of iridescent sparkle, mid cool shimmering brown, sparkling sheer gold.

Really great post, my Mum has my blog bookmarked so unfortunately knows about all my purchases :) I get the feeling I may have to try this brand, although I do feel like I am swimming in makeup at the moment !
ReplyDeleteHi Replica
ReplyDeleteI know my mum has googled me, hence the nom de plume! :)
The good news is that all but one of these quads are permanent, so they are not going anywhere. I also empathise with that 'swimming in makeup' feeling!

@Em. Hi :) My mother couldn't point fingers really (although she would!) - she started me off with the Dior counter. They are beautiful eyeshadows, and lovely combinations. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDelete@Michelle. Hello! They are lovely. I will definitely keep Mr L ;) x
Hi Grace London,
