Kanebo Sensai Cosmetics

Basically, this is just my dream press sample. It’s a tiny try-me size palette of Sensai (Kanebo) lipsticks, a teeny-weeny pot of Lip Base and a dolly sized brush to give an idea of formulas and shades of Sensai colours. It comes housed in a light cardboard box and it’s absolutely my idea of swatching heaven. 

Rather boringly, the shades aren’t named, so from the orange shade at the top, VC01 through to the brightest of reds IL110, in my view it’s a selection of amazing shades that need amazing names. So, let me hear your suggestions for the top row only (VC01 thru VC11) and I’ll select my favourite choice and send out a random box of beauty goodies. 

Similar to this

I’ll close the giveaway on Friday 6th July 10am. Kanebo Sensai cosmetics are only sold at Harrods and Selfridges HERE , where a lipstick is…. £40! The full line-up shown in the press box isn’t available online yet.

    Oh wow! They are nice. I’m afraid I’m not very imaginative, but have chosen some yummy food names for them.

    Left to right: Peach Blossom, Blackberry Crumble, Strawberry Bon Bon and Cherry Pie.

    I would call the palette Summer Festival, and the names from left to right would be:
    Only if you kiss me gentle
    I’m here for the music
    Meet me behind the stage in 5 minutes
    Out in the open, maybe we’ll get caught

    I’d buy this on it’s own. I’m keen to start using a refillable palette for my favourite lip and eye colours.

    I adore Kanebo skincare but have never tried the cosmetics – these colours are beautiful & the texture looks lovely in your swatches – pigmented but with a lovely sheen.

    I’m not sure if my first attempt at commenting went through or not (stupid phone!!). I’ve gone for sexy names because I associate luxury with sexy – brands like Agent Proocatuer and Victoria’s Secret and Coco De Mer…

    I didn’t want pervy though!

    Here goes:

    VC01: Close Carresses
    VC08: Lingering Longing
    VC09: Sweet Surrender
    VC11: Retro Revealing

    I just drooled over those lip colours like they were sweets. They remind me of the Sleek Pout Polishes but obviously one hundred times nicer!

    I’ve christened the colours after the Japanese names of four delicate flowers;

    Miss VC01 – Amaririsu (aka Amaryllis, meaning ‘shy’)

    Lady VC08 – Tsutsuji (aka Azalea, meaning ‘patient’)

    Lovely VC09 – Sakura (aka Cherry Blossom, meaning ‘kind/gentle’)

    Adorable VC11 – Oniyuri (aka Tiger Lily, meaning ‘wealth’)

    Hope you like!

    Au revoir,
    Sophie x
