In commemoration of their 10th anniversary, Suqqu launched the limited edition "Vintage Pearl" Collection for Spring 2013.
Departing from the brand's traditional glossy, plastic casing, this collection's packaging is an iridescent white.
The Vintage Pearl Collection offers ten limited edition pieces, of which I've picked up seven. So, enough of my babble, let's get to the meat of this post!
Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow Ex-11 Sumiredama.
Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow Ex-11 Sumiredama Swatches.
Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow Ex-12 Hisuidama.
Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadow Ex-12 Hisuidama Swatches.

In addition to the new packaging, these three blend color eyeshadow palettes (¥7,140) feature a new pearlescent formula. Each quad comes with three luminious, transluscent duochromes and one velvety-smooth matte. The duality of the duochrome shades is stellar; offering a beautiful blend of luminosity and depth.
Suqqu Eyeliner Creamy Ex-02 Navy (¥3,990).
The Eyeliner Creamy ( I always want to change it and write/say creamy eyeliner), comes with a nifty portable brush. Normally, I chuck these brushes, but this applicator actually enables me to draw a fine line...a keeper in my book.

I believe (or I've stared at the photo long enough and tricked myself into believing) you can see more of the iridescent color in the casing in the photo...yes???

Suqqu's Eyeliner Creamy in Ex-02 Navy
has tiny micro shimmers that do not migrate onto the face. This creamy eyeliner IS waterproof, budge-proof, the damn thing will not move proof! I would advise against using this as a base (as I discovered), given the product dries very stiff; thus, causing you to want to claw your lids off.
Suqqu's Creamy Glow Lipstick Moist are richly moisturizing, with a balmy texture and creamy color; thus, giving the lips a luscious, glossy finish.
I have to say the biggest (and only) disappointment in the collection was the Face Color Palette in Ex-02 (¥7,350). Number one, I would have liked for there to have been equal amounts of the highlighter and blush. Secondly, the highlighter was a complete fail! The texture was just atrocious! I would have been better off grinding up some pieces of chalk and applying it on my face, than using that highlighter. I didn't even like the way it felt on my fingers as I swatched it at the counter. Finally, although I liked the shade of blush portion, the texture was also a bit chalky and stiff. Also, the sliver of blush offered wasn't enough to warrant purchasing.
I didn't pick up the polishes for no other reason than, I just didn't. The shades are pretty, but they just didn't need to come home with me.
Did you get anything from this collection?
