Tweet Before Christmas I paid a visit to my local Shu Uemura counter…ah memories. I used to spend many an hour on the counter playing with make up with some amazing artists they used to have. I bought every colour of eyeshadow they made. I picked up these two Shu Uemura Pressed Eye Shadows in their new(ish) glitter formula. There’s 4 choices, gold, silver, bronze and rainbow. I bought two (£14.50 each!)… I chose ‘White Rainbow’ over the silver – {Read More}
Tweet Ever pass on a Limited Edition item only to regret it, then find it impossible to find one later? I had this kind of regret with this pretty Shu Uemura blusher/highlighter called STEAM a while ago. Steam was from the Autumn/Fall 2008 collection. I spotted it and passed up on it…then saw it on eBay for just a little more than the retail price. Hurrah! Steam is a pale light white-peach with micro sparkles. The pretty gold swish won’t {Read More}
Tweet Another pre holiday pick up – I had a little gift voucher so I decided to get a little present for myself before my hols! I ended up choosing this Limited Edition palette from Shu Uemura! It’s a whopping £49 – expensive but it is pretty and has everything I need in one place which is exactly what I wanted. The lid is pretty but not too pretty to make the palette unusable!: Inside you get Four Eyeshadows (Pale {Read More}
Tweet It’s a good job I don’t treat my make up like I treat my men, otherwise the current Mr Candy would’ve been replaced 10 times over by now. Go and grab some Pj’s and ice cream, cos I want to talk brand crushes with you (again)… As long as I’ve liked make up I’ve had brand crushes. On one hand I probably have something from most brands you can name, but I also go through phases of being utterly {Read More}
Tweet I’m going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades. This week is Glitters! Oh how the child in me loves glittery nails. I think they look better when they start to chip too – cos you can’t tell as much! This polish I have had for-ever. One thing about Shu Uemura Nail Polishes – they seem to separate quite quickly after purchase but after a shake, they live on and on and ariston…. This {Read More}
Tweet I actually don’t like train cases much. They smell of plastic. I can’t stand it, I only use them because I need a practical storage solution. There is one case I would die for and its the Shu Uemura medium sized one…it opens up from the middle and has 2 tiers. Its beautiful. Its also in the region of £300 smackers, which means I won’t be buying it any time soon. So instead I bought this cute Limited Edition {Read More}
Tweet I own three Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shines in total, in a pink, a lilac and a glossy red. Cut a long story short: Pros: Gorgeous texture, gorgeous colour, just gorgeous to wear Cons: Not longwearing, expensive and the packaging! I don’t usually have a problem with the plastic casing of Shu Uemura Lipsticks – its quite retro and I don’t feel like I need opulence in every lipstick. However – these Supreme Shine Lipsticks have a design {Read More}
Tweet Something about the crackily texture of a mousse product appeals to me but I don’t have much luck with it. Mousse reminds me of the crunchy haired girls at school, who would cover the school floors with white flakes as they swooshed their hair around. Tentatively, we look at the Shu Uemura UV Base which has recently been reformulated: They say that the benefits are: – Improved make-up staying power – Improved colour vibrancy – Provides SPF protection against {Read More}
