Shu Uemura's Gem Glams Summer 2010 Collection
Shu has released a summer collection online. I found G White Rainbow Pressed eye shadow at my local Nordstrom counter. Of course, it was just a tester and there were no pans to be found in the drawers. White Rainbow is a shimmer extraordinaire. Fire power is "off the hook". I wanted it instantly even though I had two glimmery Addiction shadows in my bag. I am a shimmer glutton. It is a glistening sheer snow white shade. It has all the sparks of fresh snow on a bright sunny day. It retails for $20. The other summer shades are G Gold and G Silver.
Another product that caught my eye was the Gem Glam Glowing Powder. The palette has a shattered design inspired by gemstones. Shu Palettes are always so damn cool. Inside are handy skin correctors and what appears to be a set of "kiss of sun" bronzers. It retails for $55.00.
The collection also has 3 cream eye shadows in Light Pink, Light Purple, and Ivory. They retail for $30.

You might want to visit your local Shu counter to pick up the remaining stock. The are no discounts but the SA's at Nordstroms were throwing in samples and a lipstick with a purchase. I have not heard of a final pull out date in the stores. Shu will be available only online in the US.
I will miss my Shu counter.

I was wondering, is the White Rainbow eyeshadow a duochrome or is it just a shimmery white shade? Does it flash different colors? I wonder why they named this shade 'Rainbow'...
ReplyDeleteIt shimmered and sparked. The sparks are on high. Very impressive. It is a sheer shimmery white.
ReplyDeleteI thought it scewed more gold flash than multi-colored. Nordstrom's lighting is notoriously awful though.
I know that is not an answer. LOL
My favorites would be the eyelash curler and the eyeshadow palettes because of the designs. I'm lucky I live in Asia so I can buy Shu anytime I want. Sucks about them pulling out in the US.
ReplyDeleteCC: I am jealous of your location.
ReplyDeleteYou have the best lines and skincare.
Do you have access to Jill Stuart and Addiction?
I just flipped over those.
****love*****
I heard by August the line will be out of the US stores.
ReplyDeleteAny news about whether it'll still be in Canada?
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteShu Uemura is my favorite. Its foam base always my choice.
ReplyDeleteI am a asian so i feel this brand is fit me good.
I love the balancing cleansing oil- it leaves my skin so soft and removes all of my eyeliner and mascara easily- without burning my eyes the way most eye-makeup remover pads do. It's my HG cleanser.
