Tweet One excellent thing MAC does is the Back to MAC program, which I am sure most of you know is when you can take 6 empty products back to MAC and you get to choose a free lippie or eyeshadow. Now I plead with Shu Uemura to do the same! I for one always take my Shu Shadows out of their plastic cases and put them into their palettes. I have kept all my empties with the hope that {Read More}
Review: Shu Uemura Painting Gel Liner is for…painting?!
June 1, 2009 by
Tweet Did I ever tell you that Shu Uemura was my first true make up love and obsession? Without them I would be reading a book now and sipping champagne because I’d be £100000 richer. Happy to see Shu Uemura’s new liner – the Paining Gel Liner, a long lasting pigment ‘cream’ for the eyes. The colour is supposed to be waterproof and smudgeproof. Its called a painting liner because it can be used all over for body painting or {Read More}
5 totally weird lip stick colors to try
May 19, 2009 by
Tweet I’m away at the moment but I have left you with 5 completely off the wall lip colours to try – a greeny-yellow, and icy blue, a silver, a black and an apple green. Shu Uemura GR062s lipstick: No idea why I bought this, but I had a thing for green colours lately! This is a beautiful glossy lipstick which looks like a sickly yellow, and leaves a light, greeny gloss on the lips. Green on the lips normally {Read More}
5 Orange Lip Glosses to try
May 18, 2009 by
Tweet There’s nothing I love more than juicy juicy oranges for the lips. It looks great with a tan, especially with a little sparkle. NYX Round Gloss in Apricot – I like these glosses a lot but they packaging is shiteous. Of the 12 NYX glosses I have HALF of them are damaged (the cap in the tube which stops too much product coming out comes loose). The gloss itself is nice though: Majex by Majolica Majorca makes some pretty {Read More}
Shu = Meh
November 14, 2008 by
Tweet Maybe I’m just a cranky cow, but I made my way to the Shu Uemura counter today to lookat the Mika Christmas collection which looks super stunning online. Only 2 palettes were left: This one looks dull but it’s actually quite nice and the third colour across, a rose bronze is utterly stunning. Winter Sakura (I think) is more dramatic: Both are £45. Houston, we have a problem. The palettes are SIMILAR. Not a bit, VERY similar. The blue, {Read More}
Shu Uemura Instinct Collection
September 5, 2008 by
Tweet Recently, though I have liked what Shu has to offer, I haven’t loved it. Infact the last few collections over the last year have been hit and miss; too dull, too hard, too chalky. I was ready to pass on the Instinct Collection too but then….I found out one side was a cream eyeshadow! I love cream eyeshadow! So onwards we go: Tantilizer is very nice – the website says its: Brilliant shades of green and goldish bronze in {Read More}
Cleansing Oils
August 12, 2008 by
Tweet Cleansing is such a pain in the butt – maybe some of you enjoy it. Because I use things like primers, super waterproof mascaras and creamy blushers, I need something that will take it off! take it all off! I was introduced to cleansing oils by Shu Uemura. The first time I ever had it tested on my hand, I remember thinking YUK! I’m not putting oil on my skin! Alas, my friend on the counter gave me some {Read More}
