Suqqu Spring 2008 Kirari FOTD

Pictured are: Blend Eyeshadow Quad 08 Koucha, Blend Cheeks 04 Yanwaricha and Blend Lipstick 11 Shunkou. These are all from the Spring 2008 Kirari collection, which was themed around the play of water on colour. The colours of this collection all had a sheer, crystalline quality, but still managed to be completely OL ("Office Lady") appropriate. This is a combination I wore a lot during the summer of 2008, and I still love it. None of these products were/are limited edition. 

Close up of the eyes. I used the beige as a base, the dark brown to line my upper lid, the peach with sparkle on the lid itself and under the lower lashes, and the white sparkle on the very inner corner near my tear duct. I quite often wear with the dark brown in the outer half of my mobile lid and crease, blended into the peach on the inner half, for a slightly more made-up look. 

Here's a picture of the whole face. I love this lipstick for a subtle but very pretty look. It's not easy to see in the picture, but it has small shimmer particles in a sheer base.

Here's a picture of the promotional leaflet from the collection. The Suqqu collection images are always stunning. The green Blend Eyeshadow quad from this collection, 06 Touryoku, is gorgeous.

  4. I love how you've put together this look. It's so natural and yet you look absolutely radiant. There must be an art to it!

    I keep reading about Suqqu on your blog. I doubt I can find it here in the Netherlands. :(

  5. This look is exquisite. Unbelievably pretty. Wish this line were available in the US.
    We have the way overrated Edward Bess but no Suqqu.

  7. Hmm by the time I find Suqqu here in the US, I will be an old hag. Oh well, I guess I will just look like Bette Davis in her later days!

  9. Hi Dempss - It's sold in Japan, Thailand and in the UK in Selfridges. Bits and pieces sometimes come up on ebay.co.uk, so it's worth keeping an eye out for.

    Hi Mag - this is still one of my favourite Suqqu collections.

    Hi Cocamia - thank you for visiting and reading :)

    Hi Witoxicity - Suqqu is very good for that kind of look. As I said above, it does sometimes come up on ebay, and I think Selfridges do ship abroad too. Thanks for your comment. x

    Hi Anonymous - Suqqu is lovely, it is a shame it isn't in the US because I think it would do very well.

    Hi Lucia - thank you!

    Hey Olivia - ebay is your friend, it is worth watching for. x

    Hi Sizbelle - thank you :)
