Hi beauties,
Today I will be reviewing the lipstick from Shu Uemura. It is the ROUGE UNLIMITED SHEER SHINE lipstick. Shu Uemura is a Japanese brand which is popular for the CLEANSING OIL. I am going to review this soon but I can tell you that I used the purple, blanc chroma and the pink one which is the sine-free version, both are really awesome but I love the purple one a little bit better. Now, back to the lipstick.

In CR350

The claims on Shu Uemura website :

The new rouge unlimited sheer shine is a lightly melting lipstick enhanced with hybrid pigments to create a beautiful sheer finish. The formula blends easily with your own lip color and lets you create a one-and-only style all of your own with magnified shine and vibrant color. A fusion of natural emollients provides superb moisture to the lips that is ultra comfortable to wear. Your lips will love the smooth and lightweight sensation and bright sheer coverage. The soft melting texture of the new lipstick formula contains macadamia nut paste mix and candelila extract wax to give a glossy finish and easy spread ability. 
This lipstick is created with an incredible new technology: shu uemura’s 2nd generation hybrid pigments produces a more vivid, wider range of color while retaining the pureness and transparency.

Basically, breaking it down to :
-It has pigments which creates a beautiful shine finish with shine and a vibrant colour.
-Moisturising
-Lightweight and sheer coverage

My review on this lipstick will be rated a 8/10.

Advantages:

• It does live up to the claim that it is moisturizing. It does not dry up my lips even though I wore it for more than 8 hours on my lips, It is like a tinted lip balm but of course not as moisturising as a lip balm as well as not as healing.
• It is not highly pigmented but it is not a lipstick that has a poor pigmentation as well. With this lipstick, you won't get a full pigmentation on a single swipe. It is not that sheer that when you put it on, it gets streaky and hard to build and layer up. It layers beautifully and it is a lipstick that you can reapply without a mirror.
• It is definitely lightweight. If you know how a lip balm feels like, it is just like putting on a lip balm. It has that emollient texture which most shiny lipstick do have which is good as it is not as drying as a matte lipstick.
• It does not cling to dry patches on the lips. Because it is quite emollient, it is really easy to glide across the lips. I have no problem using this even though I have dry patches on my lips. It is quite forgiving on my lips.
• I love the colour CR350. To me, it is a corally-red colour which suits all skin-tone. The colour is really unique to this lipstick. I never seen other lipstick with this colour. It is pink, with a little red and orange at the same time. On my pigmented lips, it came out more to a dark pink but the color differs with how pigmented is your lips.

Disadvantages:

• It is not a long-wearing lipstick. If you are looking for something that you can wear for 2 to 3 hours without fading, this will not be the lipstick for you. After eating, i will have to reapply and even without eating, it does not last on me. ( I tend to smack my lips a lot ). A long-lasting lipstick are mostly drying, so this will not be ideal if you need a lipstick that will last whole day without touching up.
• It can bleed on my lip line. I have no idea why lipstick tends to bleed on me, but this do bleed but just a tiny bit. It is fine for me, because it look fine as it is not that obvious but you can fill in your lips with a MAC PROLONGWEAR lip liner to solve this problem.
• It is quite expensive for a lipstick. Retailing at $30 in the US and RM88 in Malaysia.

Price point: 

• $30/RM124 (Conversion of USD to MYR)
• RM88 in Malaysia

My recommendation for those who wants this lipstick:

Definitely purchase the colour CR350 as this is the most unique colour in the bunch. For those that are travelling to Malaysia, you should drop by to Shu Uemura counter to purchase this as it is cheaper. Basically, most HIGH-END makeup are cheaper in Malaysia compared to the US. Ie, Chanel, Burberry and Dior are definitely few of the high-end brands that you should shop if you are form the US/UK to Malaysia.

Thanks for reading. Till next time. Have a nice day!!
