Shu Uemura - Pink Collection

I am a daily reader of Annie's blog, Blogdorf Goodman. I read this blog religiously when I will skip all others. She is currently doing her 40 days of all things lippie related and I eat it up with a spoon!

A few days ago she posted about Shu Uemura's Pink collection that features 9 new lipsticks and 5 new shades of gloss in various shades of, you guessed it, PINK.

Now I love pink lippies and there is hardly a pink I won't consider. I like bright fuchsia pink, soft brown pinks that are about my lip color, sparkly baby pinks, and everything in between. I will even try warm pinks and I generally avoid warm lip colors most of the time.

The Pink Collection is all about a new pink hybrid pigment that is supposed to bring unprecedented pink pureness to these lippies. Well I don't know about you but the looks of the gloss pictured here is darn magnificent to me and if it is achieved through some new fangled pigment science I say yipee! Bring on the pink!

The gloss can be had for $22 and the lipstick for $23. If you are a pink lover this collection should not be missed.

Shu Uemura 25th Birthday Palette


This palette was created by Shu Uemura to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the line and I am here to tell you he did a dang fine job!

The birthday palette comes in 3 color combos for $65 each:

  • Fleur de Rose (pictured) is inspired by the beauty of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang flowers with rosy tones and a gold highlighter shade that is worth the palette alone
  • Fleur de Source are colors of spring meant to express purity and serenity with beautiful blues
  • Fleur de Terre is vibrant and luminous with summery sunburst shades of orange apricots and pink

The palettes are currently only available to purchase at Neiman Marcus with other stores including the free standing Shu Uemura stores getting them towards the end of June.

My choice is Fleur de Rose. This palette is a home run for me....it features nearly all of my favorite families of eye color and that gold on the right is beyond words!
