Upcomming Collection: Catrice LE Cucuba

Catrice is coming out with another collection called Cucuba. This is the description of the collection on their website :

Caribbean flair in Havana, the pastel Chevrolets and Cadillacs of the 50’s, intoxicating salsa sounds in bars and restaurants – pure joy of life! The new Limited Edition “Cucuba“ by CATRICE presents a Cuban attitude with warm brown and bronze shades, mustard yellow, bright coral and soft mint green this August and September 2012.

 First thing in this collection are Loose Eye Shadows.

Pure color! This highly-pigmented loose powder eye shadow guarantees intense color and gives your eyes a bright shine thanks to its metallic shimmer effects. Warm yellow, two brown-bronze shades and the two eye-catching colors mint green and coral reflect the colorful Cuban scenery. From top to bottom: Salsa Cubana, Take It Mint, Sunny Side, Havana Drum and Reggaeton.

Next, are the Liquid Shimmer Eye Liners.

The liquid Eye Liner is easy to apply accurately thanks to its fine brush and is particularly long-lasting. The bright mint shade alternates into a light blue and the dark brown shimmers with fine golden pigments! The top one is Take It Mint and the bottom one is Reggaeton.

Then we have Soft Lip Colour.

The high pigmentation in the transparent gel-like texture of the Soft Lip Colour lipstick ensures bright, pure and intense color. Thanks to this special texture, it feels pleasantly light and soft on your lips – perfect for summer days at the beach or in the city. Top one is Be All Smiles and the bottom one is Salsa Cubana.

Next product in this collection is Bronzing Powder in the color Brown.

Viva Cuba! This Bronzing Powder is an absolute must-have for the ultimate Cuban summer style! It gives your face a naturally tanned look and is ideal for shading the contours of your face thanks to its matt texture.

Last products are Ultimate Nail Lacquers in five shades.

A zest for life to underline every summer style down to your finger tips: warm brown shades, bright yellow, radiant coral and soft mint green in the long-lasting texture, high coverage and vibrant color expected of CATRICE. The new extra-broad brush guarantees a professional color application with just one stroke of the brush. From top to bottom: Sunny Side, Salsa Cubana, Havana Drum, Reggaeton and Take It Mint.

I actually really like this collection and will try to get some things. I especially like Loose Eyeshadows in shades: Take It Mint, Havana Drum and Reggaeton. I also like both Liquid Shimmer Eye Liners. I like Soft Lip Color in Salsa Cubana. Last product I like is Ultimate Nail Lacquer in Havana Drum. 

How do you like this collection?

Upcoming collection: Catrice Coolibri

For June and July 2012 Catrice is coming out with a collection called Coolibri. This is the description on their website:

Fantastic and full of color – the coolibri with bright, colorful feathers from the depths of the Amazon. Its mysterious home and breathtaking blaze of color offer the inspiration for the contrasting and fashionable colors of the 2012 summer season catwalk looks with intensive, bright color blocking – and is reflected in the Limited Edition “Coolibri” by CATRICE. In June and July 2012, sunny yellow and rich green shades, cool turquoise blue, warm orange-red and fresh pink whisk you away to the iridescent world of Amazon colors. The ideal make-up for summertime – fascinating, light and radiantly beautiful!

 First products are Eye shadow pens:

From top to bottom the colours are: Precious Nectar, Exotica, Virgin Forest and Birds Flying High.

Next  product is the Golden Eye Liner in colour Precious Nectar:

Then, we have Nectar Glosses in colours (from top to bottom): Gorgeous Blossom, Feathery Pink, Exotica and Birds Flying High.

Next we have Colour Refreshing Lip Balm:

The next product is Jelly Cheek Tint in Abloom:

And last but not least are the nail polishes (from top to bottom): Virgin Forest, Abloom, Twist of Lemon, Exotica and Birds Flying High.

I do not really like this collection. I wish the names would be different for each product but they are the same for the same colours. I think the colours are fun but I am not really excited about it. The only thing I might buy are eyeshadows pens and I am also interested how the blue lipgloss will look on lips. Overall I do not like this collection and I am not sure if I am going to buy anything from it.

What do you think about it?

Upcoming collection: Catrice Cruise Couture

In May 2012 Catrice is coming out with a new collection called Cruise Couture. The theme of this collection is nautical and beachy. This is the description of this collection on their website: 

Sunbathing on a yacht, diving into the deep blue ocean to cool off and heading to the most exclusive parties in town in the evening… welcome to St. Tropez! The Limited Edition “Cruise Couture” by CATRICE whips you away on a short trip to the Côte d’Azur in May 2012.
The world of colors combines nautical blue shades with fresh pink and coral nuances. In the fashion industry, this maritime color combination is called the “French New Wave” and this year, the interpretation by high-end fashion designers is even more luxurious and glamorous than ever before! The matching CATRICE look is an absolute must as beach wear and stylish city looks merge into one. Whether you’re heading for the beach or going on a shopping spree, these fresh colors in various blue nuances as well as coral, apricot and pink shades are stylish and elegant!

The products that are coming out are:

 

This palette doesn't have a specific name. On the website it says it's called 01. I'm not a huge fan of this palette and I won't purchase it since I do prefer more neutral colors. It's going to be 4.99€.

This gel eyeliner is called Nautica and it is in blue. I won't buy it since I don't wear gel eyeliners. It's going to be 3.99€.

This is a mascara called Lashes to kill waterproof volume mascara in Black. I might purchase this mascara since I am running out of the one I'm using rught now but I have to see some swatches before I will decide whether or not I will buy it. It's going to be 3.99€.

The top lipgloss is called Welcome to St. Tropez and it's a really nice baby pink color. The bottom lipgloss is called Coralista. I would imagine this would be a coral lipgloss judging by its name but it looks more like a mixture between pink and purple. I do like both lipgloss but I won't buy them since I already have too many lipgloss and I don't need more. It's going to be 3.79€ each.

The top lipstick is called Shy Flamingo and the bottom one is called Mrs Brightside. I already have a lot of lipsticks but I do really like this two. I especially like the top one so I might purchase it. I might even buy both lipsticks, I just have to see some swatches before I buy them. It's going to be 3.99€ each.

This blush is called Apricot Smoothie. I'm not a huge fan of this blush so I don't know if I will buy it. It's going to be 3.49€.

The names of these nailpolishes are (from top to bottom): Hi, Society; Jetsetter, Welcome to Pink Tropez, Feel the Yacht Beat and Nautica. I like Hi, Society the most so I will probably buy it. I don't like the other colors since I already have similar ones. It's going to be 2.49€ each.

The last item from this collection is a beauty bag. I might buy it. I just have to see how big it is first. It's going to be 3.49€.
