Some of you might already know that Sofina's makeup line, Aube, will be discontinued in December and replaced by Aube Couture on December 6th.

This is a somewhat similar overhaul to the ones that Shiseido and Kanebo had with PN and T'Estomo. But, with Primavista just launched, Aube Couture will probably not be a megabrand like Maquillage or Coffret D'Or. (Both feature base as well as point makeup items.)

For me, this is a very similar packaging update that Aube has done every two or three years. But the new name does suggest that customers will be able to choose shades that really suit and flatter their facial features.

The new packaging looks slightly more grown-up than the look of the current Aube. Again, this is the same case with Maquillage (from PN) and Coffret D'Or (from T'Estimo).

Currently, the Aube Couture page on the Sofina website only has information on the new lipstick range, Designing Rouge. But you can see an image of the five Designing Eyes palettes on the Biteki website. (I am liking the thicker cases.) According to Voce, Aube Couture's launch lineup will also feature blushers, mascaras, eyeliners, eyebrow pencils, and a bi-phase makeup remover.

I am looking forward to seeing more images of the products, and I might think about picking up a few later on.
