Suqqu EX-07 Tsukiakari palette and EX-02 Mizumomo duo blush from the fall 2012 collection (part II)

So this post is long overdue but due to my hectic life at the moment I only had the time to do this now.

Not long before I get the Suqqu #14 Kosemusuiro palette, these pretties arrived in my mailbox.


They are the Suqqu EX-07 Tsukiakari palette and the EX-02 Mizumomo duo blusher from the fall 2012 collection.




Looks familiar doesn't it? It's reminds me a lot of the Suqqu Konruri and the Kakitsubata palettes.

Tsukiakari is more simular to the Konruri because of the following: they have both a taupe and a peachy shade in it while Kakitsubata has a bronzy shade in it and no peachy color.

                          


Simular to the #14 Kosumosuiro palette, there is also one cream e/s in this palette that can be used as a base all over the eyelid or as a liner to give a little 'oompf' to your eyelook.

The textures of the powder eyeshadows in this palette have the same texture as the other Suqqu eyeshadows.
Even if you don't find the colors that unique, the texture and finish of Suqqu eyeshadows are unlike all other eyeshadows I have tried so far and worth every penny.

Here are some swatches that I did, one in natural lighting and one indoors to give you an idea of the colors.

 Since I only have the Kakitsubata palette, I will compare each shade of Tsukiakari and Kakitsubata together side by side.

Do I think Tsukiakari is worth it? If you don't have Konruri this quad is definitely worth it. Although it looks simular to Kakitsubata, the shades are different enough to justify getting both.

Next one is the Suqqu EX-02 Mizumomo duo blush.



This duo blush has a cool bright pink shade and very pale milky pink shade.


As you can see the pale pink color is almost white on me so it works better as a highlighter on me or you could also mix it with the brighter pink shade to get a more diffused color on your cheeks.

 To wrap this up, I created a simple eyelook with all these colors in Tsukiakari.

I used the navy blue cream eyeshadow as a base all over the eyelid, the taupe color in the crease, the peachy shade in the inner 1/3 of the eyelid and the matte white color as a highlighter under the brows.




The eyeshadow palette cost £45 and the duo blush cost £38. Both Tsukiakari and Mizumomo are limited edition .

Suqqu is only available at Selfridges in the UK or at the counters in Japan and Thailand.

  2. I finally found a way to comment via Blogger! :D

    Beautiful swatches hun. I think I'd still find justifications to purchase this even though I do have Konruri! I find the peachy shade in Konruri comes up more neutral as opposed to obviously peachy or pink, and the taupe is less purple and more neutral also. The cream base in Tsukiari makes the layered result look so stunning! That's something you can't recreate with Konruri for sure.

    I am still lemming Mizumomo like crazy. Even if you can dupe the shades, I wonder if you can dupe the texture. The closest I can get is probably RMK as they have similar texture duos and are sister companies. Hmmmmmmm.

    1. Oh there you are! Lol! :D I can understand why you would like Konruri more but it seems a bit too neutral for me and the 2 shades of blue are a bit unnecessary to be honest...

      The reason why I would like Kakitsubata more is because of mix with a bronzy color and not another taupe. EX-07 is more simular to Konruri but the cream shade and the unique taupe color. I can not be helped... lol! :D

    2. Hehe, whereas for me the presence of blue shades made it a must-have product! :D I have somewhat temporarily killed my lemming for Mizumomo. :O Instead I am going to acquire the RMK equivalent blush duo!

    1. I agree Suqqu should be more readily available everywhere but then again that's part of their appeal in my opinion. :)

    1. Thank you! I was sceptical at first with the cream eyeshadow in that palette but it really works well with the other colors! I highly recommend it! :-)
