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 […]
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 […]
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 – […]
I was sent this cool kit by Shu Uemura to look at – Shu and me go back a long time, my first high end make up love, yada yada yada. And yet a lot of people still stare at me blankly when I tell them about Shu Uemura. “Who made your lipstick?” “Shu Uemura.” “MAC?” “She Uemura” “MAC?” “Shu Uemura” “M-A-C?” And so on. For those who don’t know, this discovery kit is a […]
I am now the owner of three Shu Uemura Supreme Shine lipsticks – these don’t generally last too well but by god, they are absolutely – gorgeous – instant – sex – bomb. Newest addition is RD 165 which they call a ‘Universal Red’. Glossy, sheer reds are my bag. I am too chicken to wear bright, matte, opaque red lipstick out day to day – there I said it. I’m not Coco Chanel, I […]
UPDATE: Ladies, this shade is called PK 052! I reviewed the Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine Lipstick before – love the texture, love the result but hate that it fades without a trace within a few hours. But I did say – I LOVE the result. Instant kitten with one coat. So I went back and bought this unusual shade: Sorry can’t remember the name of it – its Lilac and is one of […]
I purchased this Lip Vinyl a good few weeks ago – its a natural beige type shade in the Lip Vinyl texture which is quite a wet looking gloss. I previously bought this in the hot pink which is just gorgeous! There aren’t many shades to choose from in the Lip Vinyl texture so I don’t know how long this formula will be around for. At £18 I think its quite expensive but its super […]
I broke my no buy rule (yes, I do actually have one…sort of) to splash out on this Shu Uemura Lip Vinyl Lip Gloss in PK359 (a hot pink) and their lip pencil in PINK 360. I love hot pink lips, I do, but it has to be the right hue and the right texture. I love Nars Schiap Lipstick but the texture is too drying on me. Hence, I was looking for the perfect […]
