Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
I'm in Ontario, Canada and have no idea where to buy Shu Uemura products here. Is this line even available to Canada?

The Basic Mascara in black and the eyelash curler are available at Sephora (Yorkdale or Eaton Centre).

I totally agree with you, I want the fibre xtension mascara and ME silver 945 e/s, but must wait until a trip to the states.
I dont really get why most companies dont sell products or even ship to canada. Its rather annoying.

I was rather surprised that Sephora only carries 2 items of Shu Uemura. I was truly dissapointed.
I ordered directly from the site, you may want to see if theyll ship to Canada cause I know they do ship to a lot of places..

Australians do too! And British-born residents
We have perhaps 2 or 3 products available and they can be ordered online, posting internationally:
www.meccacosmetica.com.au
I have a love-hate relationship with this place in that it stocks fantastic stuff at 3-4 times the price it sells for in its country of origin. Ugh. Yes, I have been dumb/desperate enough to purchase from there!

I know the feeling. Ever since they left Holt Renfrew close to 2 years ago, I've been dying to see Shu again. Supposedly there is a few Shu items at a little boutique in downtown Toronto called Pir Cosmetics.
www.pircosmetics.com
Supposedly they're coming back next year but HR said that last year as well.

PIR used to carry the whole line  The website charges something like $45 to ship to Canada. I think your best bet is to have an american order from the site and ship to you or have someone who lives near a boutique CP for you.
If you can't find anyone, lmk because I will be visiting the boutique in MAY

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
i think sears might have it, but they are prob in a counter with other brands, unlike Sheshido, EA or Estee Laude which have their own bigger counters.

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
Shu Uemura is available at Holt Renfrew in downtown vancouver. Holt is a high end department store selling everything from Versace to DG along with a variety of makeup lines. I know they have more locations in canada....check out their website and see if they've got one where you live. Good luck hun.

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
Yes Holt's in vancouver has Shu Uemura - they first had it maybe 5-6 years ago, then got rid of it, now it's back! If you have a Holt's in your city & know exactly what products you want I bet you could have them charged to your credit card & sent to your local store. It's worth a try.
That's amazing Sears has this line!!!

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
LOL god i bought my shu curler off ebay.
i hate sephora with a passion. they over charge their products for canadian orders, so I don't bother with them until they become more canadian friendly. there are soo many things i would love to buy from sephora but their prices are ridiculous.
doesn't it just piss you off how so many companies don't ship to canada? i really really want to buy tarte products!

I agree!
I wanted to buy the Stila Mini Lip Glaze Set, and it was $28 US on their website, but when I went to the actual store it was $41 CDN and this was when $CDN was worth more.. I was so upset..
But still, I love going into Sephora and just looking at their stuff 
Everyone there knows me by now lol. xD

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
Wow I checked out Sephora and it flipped the prices over to Canadian and I'm PISSED. I had wanted to try a Stila Cherry Crush Lipstain US price 24, Cdn 31! And Nars Blushes are not as high of a discrepancy--US price 25, Cdn 29. That stinks.
Tried adding a Shu e/s to see the difference, but then an error came up saying they couldn't ship that item to Canada. (I think its like Clinique--the Sephora online can't ship stuff we'd get in some department stores) Grrrr
I don't know though, shipping from the US to Canada (with insurance) for a CP may eliminate a lot of the better prices. Oh well.

Re: Canadians want Shu Uemura too :(
I don't know what part of Canada you are from but here in Toronto, we have Shu Uemura at Holt Renfrew and Sephora in Yorkdale Mall. I think Holt Renfrew expanded their Shu Uemura line and they carry lots of products. Right when you walk into HR, it's the first thing you see. HTH! =)

Check Holt Renfrew's website. They have Shu counters at several locations around the country.
