Catrice is coming out with a new limited edition, called Upper WILDside!
This collection leads you to the world of prairies with a city-esque flair. A sophisticated lifestyle is being connected to the desire of freedom and a hunt for adventure. This contrast is being reflected by the colors of this collection: warm, natural hues such as brown, beige, refreshing warm red and orange opposed to daring blue and green. Indian look vs. urban style: wild, but still sophisticated.
Woohoo, I have very exciting news for you today 
MAC is going to bring out a collection with previously discontinued items, such as Bait Lipglass, Candy Yum-Yum Lipstick and Cool Heat Eye Shadow. Isn’t this exciting?! But wait..

Cherry, apricot, kiwi – fruit, smoothies & co. are all the rage this spring and put us in the mood for a colorful summer. The new Essence Trend Edition “Fruity” is fruity-fresh and creamy-seductive as it presents itself with a powerful cocktail of colors containing strawberries, bananas, kiwis, oranges and berries of the forest in april 2012. Wonderful sorbet colors and gentle textures for your eyes, lips and face guarantee high spirits in springtime!
The products
Eyeshadow Sorbet
What Essence says:
Sorbet for your eyelids! The Eyeshadow Sorbet has a delicate mousse texture in fabulous, fresh spring colors. It is easy to apply and ensures beautiful moments…
Available in 01 Peach Beauty, 02 Banana Joe & 03 One Kiwi A Day…

Vanillaa’s thoughts:
These look incredibly cool! I can’t wait to try these out, the colors look so spring-y & nice! I especially like the green one.

What Essence says:
Hmmmm, yummy! This lipbalm is available in two fruity flavours and colors to pamper your lips with the delicious taste of spring.
Available in 01 Peach Beauty & 02 Very Cherry.
Suggested retail price: €1.99
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
Hmm, another lip balm? Really?! I wonder if these are tinted..? I bet they’ll smell nice!
Blush Sorbet
What Essence says:
A boost of freshness for a gorgeous finish: the blush with a sorbet texture perfectly complements your early summer fruity look with an intense pink-red shade. Simply dab the airy and light formula on your cheeks with your fingertips and your natural look is done!
Available in 01 Smoothie Operator.
Suggested retail price: €2.79
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
I wonder if this is the same formula as the new, standard collection, blush soufflés. I think the pink/red tone might be a little overdone for my fair complexion, but we’ll see.
Nail Polish
What Essence says:
Wanted: fruity colors! as colorful and shimmering as springtime – these five good mood colors bring the loveliest season of the year to your nails! An absolute must-have for the fruity spring look.
Available in 01 Banana Joe, 02 Peach Beauty, 03 Very Cherry, 04 One Kiwi A Day… & 05 Mashed Berries.
Suggested retail price: €1.79
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
Wow, those creamy nail polish with glitter in them look super-duper-mega awesome!! *drools* So original, too! Must get these, as a nail polish fanatic I like the happy, spring-y, fresh colors!
Scented Top Coat
What Essence says:
Strawberry fantastic! The scented top coat is super fruity and gives your nails a seductive fresh strawberry scent.
Available in – what else- 01 Smells Like Strawberry…

Nail Art Sealing Top Coat
What Essence says:
The crowning glory for fruity nail design! Simply apply the nail art sealing top coat after styling your nails for long-lasting results.
Available in 01 Stay Fruity.

Vanillaa’s thoughts:
Hmmm scented top coat? No thanks. By then, I’ll be intoxicated by the fumes of the other 3 layers of nail polish, anyway 
I don’t really like the original Nail Art Sealing Top Coat, it doesn’t really dry on me. I guess this product is the same thing.
Nail Fruits
What Essence says:
Cheeky little fruits on your nails – the absolute eye-catcher of the season! You can decorate your nails in a matter of seconds with these trendy designs. Super-easy to apply thanks to the included nail glue. The ultimate must-have for all nail fashionistas this spring.

Sliced fruit fimo canes! Awesome, so spring- and summer-y

This collection makes me sooo happy and sooo ready for spring/summer. Bring it on! Awesome collection, Essence!

Oh snap, Catrice is coming out with one amazingly pretty new collection: Revoltaire! I’m so excited!
What Catrice says (in German):
Catrice macht Lust, alte Traditionen abzuschaffen und revolutioniert von April bis Mai 2012 mit der Limited Edition „Revoltaire“ konventionelle Frühlings-Farbwelten. Gegensätze? Ja, bitte! Natürliches Braun, dezentes Grün, puristisches Grau und zartes Nude werden zur neuen Leinwand für grelle Acid-Colours und enthüllen so erst ihre wahre Style-Kompetenz. Koralliges Pink, toxisches Grün. „Revoltaire“ by CATRICE – auf zu neuartigen Farb-Kombinationen!
And this is the collection
Smokey Eyes Palettes
What Catrice says (in German):
Be edgy! Die Catwalks präsentieren starke Revoluzzerinnen, die vor allem eines sind: Authentisch. Einfach sie selbst. Und so kommt der Style nach Hause: Mit drei farbintensiven Puder-Lidschatten und einem Cake Eyeliner sowie integriertem Applikator mit einer Schwämmchen- und einer Eye Liner-Pinsel-Seite. Die Basis-Farben: Dezente und edle Töne wie Grau, Braun Khaki und Gold. Der Knaller: Die Highlight-Nuancen Coral-Pink oder Acid-Green. Smokey-Eyes, einmal ganz lässig anders! Das coole Revoltaire-Wappen ziert ein hochwertiges Gunmetall-Etui mit integriertem Spiegel.
Available in C01 Toxic Combination en C02 Explosive Combination.
Suggested retail price: €4.49
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
They look amazing, especially the green one. They have to convince me with their pigmentation, though!
Lip Brush
What Catrice says (in German):
Besonders bei mattem Lippenfinish ist Präzision gefragt! Für die Lip Brush kein Problem: Mit dem professionellen Pinsel lasst sich die Lippenkontur sauber nachziehen, aber auch die gesamte Lippe gleichmäßig ausmalen. Nach dem Gebrauch schiebt man den Pinsel einfach wieder zusammen so verschwindet er sauber, hygienisch und praktisch zum Mitnehmen in der Handtasche. Revolution und Perfektion – Hand in Hand!
Suggested retail price: €2.99
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
I’m SO excited to see a nice lip brush in a drugstore/budget brand collection. I love me some neat applied lipstick and good lip brushes are hard to come around.
Velvet Matt Lip Colour
What Catrice says (in German):
Matte, samtige Lippen? Oh wow! Dieser Trend revolutioniert den Frühling: Kontrastreich, unerwartet, spannend, neu. Die matten Lippenstifte in außergewöhnlicher Gunmetall-Verpackung trocknen dank ihrer samtigen und reichhaltigen Textur die Lippen nicht aus, geben ihnen satte Farbe mit Tiefe und lassen sie so im Vergleich zu anderen matten Lippenstiften voll und verführerisch erscheinen. Ein Finish, das jedem Look einen lässigen Touch Coolness verleiht – von Nude über Coral-Pink bis Intensiv-Rot.
Available in C01 Colour Bomb, C02 Nude Alarm & C03 Bloody Red.
Suggested retail price: €3.99
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
Yes, matte lipstick is the way to go Colour Bomb looks so pretty & spring-y! I think the Bloody Red is an surprising choice for a spring collection, but I like blood red lips nontheless!
Powder Blush
What Catrice says (in German):
Konturierte Wangen, ausdrucksstark wie nie! Das Revoltaire Puderrouge mit seinem faszinierend graduierten Farbverlauf von Nude bis Coral-Pink hat eine seidenweiche Textur und sorgt mit einer wahren Farbexplosion für strahlend schöne, perfekt modellierte Gesichtskonturen. Mut zur Farbe! Mut zu Revoltaire!
Available in C01 Colour Bomb.
Suggested retail price: €3.99
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
Ahhhh, blushgasm MAC Ripe Peach anyone? This is one amazing blush, I need it in my life, for sure
Ultimate Nail Lacquer
What Catrice says (in German):
Eine echte Revoltaire liebt ultimativ langanhaltende Textur, ultimative Deckkraft, ultimative Farbbrillanz – und damit den Ultimate Nail Lacquer von CATRICE! Revolutionär daran sind nicht nur die stylischen Kontraste von gedeckten Tönen und knalligen Neon-Farben, sondern auch der verbesserte, extra breite Profi-Pinsel für ein revolutionäres Farbfinish mit nur einem Auftrag!
Available in C01 Innocent Toxin, C02 Attracting Camouflage, C03 Colour Bomb, C04 Colour of Honor & C05 Mission Lilac.
Suggested retail price: €2.49
Vanillaa’s thoughts:
The green & pink-purple look amazing! As always with nail polish, I can’t wait to see swatches. 
Overall thoughts
I really like the packaging of this collection! As Suzanne already said, the eye shadow palettes remind me of the MAC Royal Assets collection. The blush reminds me of MAC’s Ripe Peach though, I just have to get it! This is such a nice spring collection. I think Catrice is doing such a good job with their collections since last year. It gets me excited every time!
Catrice Revoltaire will appear in Kruidvat & Trekpleister stores (The Netherlands) from April to May 2012.
What do you think about it? Any items that must end up in your collection?
