GUHH LOOKS SO ADORABLE!
Really want that highlighter...I think that's what it is. Bah I don't even care what the product is. It's just so freaking cute!

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I'm totally loving this collection too. I went to my local Neiman Marcus about a week ago to get my hands on the cosmetic bag and they sold out! It's too bad they aren't releasing everything in the US. *sad face*

I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder when I will get the collection at my counters. I want the cosmetic bag too.

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I just checked out Shu's US website and this collection is not included (yet). I wonder how much of this collection will be available here?
I really like the combo palettes and the packaging is indeed super cute.

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
the packaging is so adorable!! especially the holographic palette covers...
i saw the cosmetic bag at my local neiman's but the material felt pretty cheap - even though it was really cute, i decided to pass since it's $30 and not very big either

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
oh! i did pick up the brush set though, which has that supercute case and the handles are gold and say "tsumori chisato for shu uemura"  Unfortunately the case part, although really cute (with the cat on front), is pretty much useless - it's not stiff at all, really flimsy and cheaply made. And the brush slots are way too big for the brushes so they don't stay in place at all.
BUT the brushes are awesome! really high quality and soft, so I'd say it's worth it for the brushes, though I wouldn't store them in that case.

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
So far I really like the planet Ribbon palette the best. The pink eye shadow included in the set is really pretty and has a nice shimmer to it. I have worn both palette's this week and received a lot of complements.
I am bummed that there are two rouge unlimited colors that did not make the US market (Venus Pink and Moon Peach), but I have to say Jupiter Brown is very pretty and in my opinion will complement almost all skin tones.

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I agree with you on the Jupiter Brown. It's definitely a lovely lipstick that will work on just about everyone!
Anyone know about the other rouge unlimited colors that aren't being released in the US? I'm headed off to the Philippines in a few week, hopefully I'll find them there!

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I got the chance to see the collection on Saturday. The packaging is very cute indeed. I like the small makeup pouch but it is not available for purchase. It will be given as a gift if we purchase a palette and a lipstick. I didn't buy anything.
I wasn't completely in love with the palettes and highlighter when I saw them IRL and I didn't want to buy them just for the packaging. The lipsticks are beautiful, all three of them. The lipglosses are pretty too, but the drawstring bag that comes with the lipglosses is poorly made. The big cosmetics bag is cute and well made IMO.
Overall, I think that if you want to get a piece of the collection for the cute packaging, buying a lipstick is a good idea. If you want to indulge and have the money to spend, you can get a palette which feels heavy and well made.

Oh man I am so jealous! I hope you have a good time in the Philippines! If you are going to Makati in Manila I bet the Shu Uemura counter at Rustan's Tower at the Shangri-la mall there will have the two limited shades that did not come to the US! The other two colors are Venus Pink and Moon Peach. Also if you are interested there is a set of false lashes that are an "Asia release only" with the collection. Happy shopping!

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I got the lipstick and it's so cute. Did you know that you can keep the lipstick packaging and use it for other Shu lipsticks? You can pop off the lipstick from the base after you're done and pop on a different one so you don't have to throw away the cute container.

Yes my Shu MA told me that! I think that is so cool since the packaging is so cute and pretty. However, I think a lot of people don't know that so it's cool that you mentioned it. I'm wondering about the Highlighter package too. I bet you can pop out the inner container when you are done and put in 4 eye shadow pans or two blush pans.

Re: Tsumori Chisato for shu uemura - Holiday 2009
I'm so on it! When I first found out the lashes weren't being released in the US,well I wouldn't even begin to explain how upset I was. But now I get a chance to get my hands on them!! woot!
