March 12, 2013 By Christa 3 Comments

shu uemura Cleansing Oils are the best of the best. Well in my modest opinion anyways! The new Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Oil formula is one of the most decadent experiences in my beauty routine. The OB for shu uemura Spring 2013 Sakura collection brings us there limited edition packaged cleansing oils. The Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil ($79 CAD) washes away pore concerns for refined, smooth, visibly pore-less skin and is adorned with the Cherry Blossom Princess. The High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Advanced Formula ($79 CAD) leaves skin feeling comfortable with a fresh and sensuous rosemary aroma and brings us the Moon Princess. The Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O Advanced Formula ($89 CAD) revitalizes the appearance of fatigued skin and refines skin texture with the fresh inspiration of the Forest Princess.

The shu uemura Rouge Unlimited formula is very creamy. It has great pigmentation and a beautiful glossy finish. I don’t tend to care for really creamy lipsticks as they have too much slip and also tend to feel heavy. While the Rouge Unlimited does have quite a bit of slip I don’t find it to feel heavy. It feels very nice on my lips.

It isn’t overly long lasting but the gorgeous finish makes up for it. They creamy consistency means it will do a little bit of settling in lines and around dry patches but the lovely sheen ends up doing a beautiful job of camouflaging it.

OB for shu uemura Spring 2013 Sakura Collection Eyeshadows in M Medium Brown 852 and M Light Blue 630 ~ Photos, Swatches, and Review

The ob for shu uemura Spring 2013 Sakura collection is an absolute treat for all the “girly” girls out there. A whimsical world between the beauty of dreams and the woes of reality is where the inspiration for the artist OB’s pink sakura world of princesses for Spring came to light. The Pastel Fantasy collection includes 8 princess worthy matte shades of pressed eye shadows ($19 CAD). They come in refill form and there is the loveliest Custom Case duo ($11CAD) showcasing the Cherry Blossom Princess that can house 2 eye shadows or one glow on blush.

The Custom Case Duo has a white refillable base with a clear plastic lid embellished with ob’s artwork.

The two shades I have are:

M Soft Blue 630
M Medium Brown 852

M Medium Brown 852 is a very warm chocolate brown. It has great pigmentation. I found M Light Blue 630 to be a bit sheer worn alone but over a base, especially a white one like the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, and it really comes to life.

Oh and pick me up off the floor! I just discovered shu uemura has a CANADIAN online shopping site! Where the heck did that come from? You can get the ob collection now at www.shuuemura.ca. The collection will also be available at Holt Renfrew and select Sephora boutiques as of April 2013.
