I always get excited when December rolls around because aside from seeing the city all lit up every night, I also love checking out what collections all the makeup counters have. Holiday Collections are usually decadent, luxurious and so much fun! This year Shu Uemura does not disappoint with its Moondrops collection.
The color palettes are sure winners with four eyeshadows in the same color family with four different effects. The iridescent finish can be used for either a soft wash of color on the eyelids or to highlight the brow bone, the metallic or pearl finish shadows can be paired with the matte finish to create intense eyes. You can choose from two palettes, the Aurora Pearl, which is comprised of four different shades of purple, and Aqua Pearl with its hues of blue.
If there is one thing I love to wear, it is false lashes. I have various kinds in my kit, some used and others just waiting to be opened. I am really loving the limited edition lashes Shu Uemura has this Christmas. Picture yourself at your annual Christmas party with white fur lashes. Yes, wonderful white feather-like eyelashes. It may be a bit much for some, but if you think you’ve got what it takes, then girl, I suggest you make a beeline for the Shu counter and buy a pair!
The Rouge 4 and Rouge Crème lipsticks both come in two different varieties. The Rouge 4 gives a sheer wash of color to the lips with loads of moisture and shine, while the Rouge Crème gives the illusion of fuller lips. This year’s Sweet Lip Gloss gift pack includes three shades of pearl perfect colors and its signature fruity flavor. They look great over Rouge 4 lipsticks and, worn alone, they give an instant pearly sparkle to your lips.
The limited edition makeup case is a must have for Shu fanatics, because if you don’t get one before they run out, you won’t be able to get it again. You can also get a set of four brushes for eyes, lips, face and cheeks and eyebrows. Also available is the Botan Brush, made of goat hair attached to a cherry tree wood handle.
