Ism, Sakuraism...THREE Sakuraism Collection

This spring, I was thrilled to see several brands showcasing the splendor of the cherry blossoms; I just wish they would continue with this theme every spring. Don't you?

I must say, I was patting myself on the back for showing restraint and only purchasing four (of the fourteen) items released in THREE's Sakuraism Collection. 

The "squee worthy" sakura emblem, decorating the product's packaging, completes the Japanese-centric theme.

When I saw the beautiful sakura emblem, embossed on the pretty, pale sakura-pink colored exterior packaging, I heard myself let out the awkward chortle.

Cheeky Chic Blushes in S01 Sakuraism Rising and S02 Sakuraism Awakening.

Just when you thought you couldn't take anymore sakura amazingness, the blushes also have the emblems on them. THREE's refined, silky smooth, pigmented blushes are my favorite among all the Japanese beauty brands. And, I'd like you to know, both the Cheeky Chic Blushes in S01 Sakuraism Rising and S02 Sakuraism Awakening, are getting along well with their other siblings. 

Shimmering Lip Jams in S02 Sakuraism Spirit and S03 Sakuraism.

The Shimmering Lip Jams give the lips a comfortable, juicy, pigmented pout, without any stickiness; one of my favorite lip glosses in the market! S02 Sakuraism Spirit and S03 Sakuraism Scent are absolutely gorgeous shades. I love both of them equally <3
