Tweet I have had many many good experiences with Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipsticks – their Supreme Shines are gorgeous but the packaging is cack (all mine cracked). Fast forward and Shu have released a new range of Rouge Unlimiteds – 44 shades to be exact! I purchase one of these a while back off the internet (so I was buying blind) and went for BG911, a nude beige. The outside packaging of Shu is in plain white, like it {Read More}
Tweet It’s funny how you can love a brand then you sort of forget about them? It’s like that with Shu Uemura. I’m not tempted by any of their new releases at all – why is that? Their Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine lipsticks are though – completely gorgeous but absolutely not faultless. Annoying, eh? Still a week or so ago I treated myself to a new lipstick from the collection (and I forgot what other shades I had so had {Read More}
Tweet I had my beady eye on the Shu Uemura Goat Hair foundation brush for a long, long time. I finally saw it with a decent discount on eBay and went ahead and purchased the No. 18! This brush is unusual for a foundation brush for so many reasons! It’s a short handle, its a small head, it’s stubby and sort of more of a blusher brush, it has goat hair which is quite rough etc. etc. It’s nothing like {Read More}
Tweet On a recent trip to London I went to the Shu Uemura shop (the website selection is poor and so is my local concession) in Covent Garden. It was my intention to pick up some new shades that I don’t already have. Shu Uemura released some new shades in 2009 but since then it’s been quite quiet for new solo pressed shadows (they seem to be focusing on the palettes for new collections instead). I also noticed that a {Read More}
Tweet I was walking, innocently, though Selfridges when the Shu Uemura girl accosted me to show me the Paloma Faith collection. I like this Shu sales girl – she’s dozy but completely sweet and charming so before I knew it she had used their newest palette, Morphorium on my eyes and I have to say she did a great job. Here is the Morphorium look, which uses the Blue Palette, and some of their new Limited Edition pigment pots (I {Read More}
Tweet I had a brief look on the Shu Uemura counter yesterday and got cornered by a SA – a very sweet SA and ended up making some purchases. I also saw the Paloma Faith collection which is an exclusive to Selfridges! I love Paloma Faith! The collection is made up of a Rouge Unlimited Lipstick (£19.50), black gel eyeliner (£19.50) and limited edition lashes (£55) and palette (£57) for a collection with a classic 50’s style statement. I was {Read More}
Tweet I liked the look of the Takano collection from Shu Uemura, especially this Miracle Cherry Blush Tint. Unfortunately it wasn’t released in the UK so I had to scour eBay for it. This took FOREVER to arrive. A month. It was ordered before Christmas and seemed to be sucked into a postal vortex. Tip: If you order an international parcel with a tracking number (it doesn’t have to be an expensive EMS service either) you can call Royal Mail {Read More}
Tweet When Shu Uemura had 20% online before Christmas I pointed Mr C towards the Takano Limited Edition Lip & Tint Pots as I wanted the Apricot and Pink versions for Christmas. Later on, I went to the counter and swatched them all and wasn’t keen on Love Apricot or Harmony Pink, instead I liked Passion Red the most! D’oh! So I bought that for full price there and then. The packaging is so cute! Shu has this habit of {Read More}
