Shu Uemura Lipgloss in RD165N Review

Since I haven't got the Shu uemura Rouge unlimited lipstick in RD 165N I decided to give this I try. I really love red lippies. I love how it brightens the face and sporting a classic look. This shade is true classic red lip color with less shimmers but still look shiny. A beautiful wash of color on my pigmented lips. This is a good alternative for those who want a classic red look, but don't like the feel of lipstick. I love using this alone. Daytime or nightime. I have no rules in wearing "red", as long as I can pull it off.

The formula is light, not sticky , and non-drying. The shine is fabulous and I find this long lasting. This has a a faintly sweet, fruity scent, but not over powering.

The cons for this product is in terms of packaging and price. As for the applicator, it has an extra-long, very slender doe foot applicator which is hard for precise application. As for the price, this retails at $22 USD Shu uemura website. Shu uemura products are more cheaper in Asean countries.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited RD170 Lipstick Review

RD 170 "My HG Lipstick". This is by far the best lipstick, I have ever had. The formula is to die for. Its so rich,creamy & highly pigmented. It feels so soft and light and feels great on. I love the shade, its bright crimson red with bluish undertones. I always get compliment wearing this.

This retails at $23 USD at Sephora but sells a bit cheaper here in Asia. I got mine in Hongkong, I specifically ask my friend to buy this beauty for me. And I paid around P800+ for this item a bit cheaper than Rustan's which retails this around P1400+ up.

This product is worth checking out...

For cheaper alternatives:

Check out Revlon Lipstick their Renewist or Super Lustrous line. I read somewhere that they are at par with Shu uemura lippies. I haven't tried Revlon yet so I can't attest to this claim.

KATE Designing Eyebrow by Kanebo Review

For a soft, natural eyebrows look you can try brow powder. This one is birthday gift from a friend. Although I would be ecstatic is she got me the ANASTASIA ones. ;-) (wishful thinking…)

You can find this one at SM Department Store, it retails around P700.00+ up (peso). As for the shade, mine is in EX-5, which is the darkest among all the brown shade range. The compact consist of 3 graduation shades of brown . The kit comes with a dual brush - one for eyebrow and for blending. It also comes with a mirror and the size is very handy.

For my application I’m using my own eyebrow brush. All in all this product is long wearing and really delivers its promise.

As for repurchasing, I don’t think I’ll spend that kind of money for an eyebrow powder. There are plenty of alternatives out there.

Cheap alternatives:
Find a matte eyeshadow powder which will mimic the natural color of your eyebrow hair. Just find a pigmented one so that it will work.

Or check out the Wet ‘n’ Wild ones kit, NYC Kit, Maybelline, Ever Bilena, Fanny Serrano, Fashion 21, and Aido
