I noticed Addiction, a new brand by make up artist Ayako in my copy of Voce Magazine.
I knew she was very familiar then I realised I had seen her from afar during a demo – she is/was (?) a Nars girl for 14 years.
One word: HAWT.*
I am actually sat here with tingles because after the Illamasqua followed by Rouge Bunny Rouge brand swooning, this is the first new range to hit me BAM between the eyes…it’s utterly utterly fabulous.
But then again, I love Nars. Ayako must have learnt a thing or two from her mentor.
Here’s a selection of the eyeshadow shades:
I love Japanese brands but I do find they tend to go for the sparkly, sheer wash as opposed to super bold, pigmented colours. Addiction then, is more western in its approach, offering various strong shades and textures in good old black, for example.
Even with the lipglosses, I can see three shades of black and lots of bold reds.
This is going to be fun, fun, fun.

I hope this comes to the UK so much – I have high hopes for Selfridges getting hold of it. I *want* that Crow eyeshadow.

Hey Grace
I know! the chances of it coming to London for now might be slim – I don’t know, I think it takes a lot of moula to launch in the UK and I am wondering if it has to do well in Japan first for it to make its way here? Let’s see

Thanks Row! I’d love to try it. It’s a really difficult website to navigate around isn’t it??!!

I have that CROW eyeshadow
i had a ADDICTION haul and wrote a little bit about it on my blog http://nottyevil.blogspot.com/2009/12/addiction-eyeshadow-compact-case-ii.html, actually test run the eyeshadow once, i’d have to say the sparkles in CROW looks much more subtle on the eyelids than in the pan…

the texture is BEAUTIFUL but hmmm i can’t help but be a tad disappointed somehow about the ADDICTION eyeshadow collection, perhaps i expected the sparkles/color pigment to be more intense. got two blush that i have yet to test-run, can’t wait! one of them is their best selling color that looks shockingly bright in the pan, will do a swatch later~
