Shu Uemura bowwow! magic queen!
Friday November 19, 2010
So the Shu Uemura & Aya Takano holiday collaboration palette I ordered “bowwow! magic queen” arrived! Even the box it comes in is lovely :ashock: ! I don’t think I could throw it away! :kissyheart:
The makeup palette is actually a sturdy piece! It’s thick & solid with a mirror of course. :twinklepink: And the design on the cover is really enchanting. :fleetheart: It’s looks double-layered and is reflective. It’s much prettier in person! :crownkisses:
:mooon: pressed eye shadow
:mooon: cream eye shadow-liner
:mooon: glow on blushA warm-toned color palette for a peaceful holiday season.
feel relaxed, curled up in the magic queen’s cozy home that is redolent with the fresh pine scent of her enormous Christmas tree filled with luxurious décor of silver, gold and bronze.
this limited edition eye & cheek palette is complete with :star:three pressed eyeshadows, :star:one cream eye liner, :star:cream highlighter & :star:glow on blush as well as two applicator brushes.
The makeup itself is really nice! Good pigment on the shadows with high metallic shine. :twinklepink: The gel shadow/liner turns out to be more blue-green when worn. It actually compliments the colors better than black liner does. Gives it more of a holiday feel too. :sqxmastree::star: It seems pretty resilient too because I cried with it on Wednesday & it didn’t smudge at all (lol) ultimate test.
Tried to take some quick snaps of the makeup on before I leave but I kept getting home late so it’s the makeup after it’s been work for 8+ hours at the office! :eep: I followed the suggested look found on the Shu Uemura website just as a jumping off point.
I don’t think these snaps do the makeup justice at ALL. :smallcry: It’s really pretty in person and especially in the sunlight! It’s hard to see the gold-tones in the photos, poo poo poo~~ Even the cheek color has reflective bits in it :kyaaface: :facepalmcry: I need to take the snaps with sunlight but it’s dark by the time I get home from work, gah!
My only complaint is that I wish the gold cream highlighter weren’t so subtle. But that’s because I’m a makeup drama queen when it comes to gold :star2:, FUCKIN’ LOVE GOLD MAKEUP! But… subtle means I can wear it to work without looking so flashy. A place where once glitter liner was referred to as “junk on my eye.” Hahahaa! :snot: :madmark: :lol:
I also got very large free samples. Two of the samples are from their “RED:JUVENUS” line. The RED:JUVENUS VITALIZING RETEXTURIZING CREAM and the INTENSE VITALIZING CONCENTRATE.
Also sent a pretty nice sized lip gloss from their GLOSS UNLIMITED PINK COLLECTION. It has the really pretty shimmer to it, almost glitter but not quite. It’s sheer and has a unique scent like fruity flowers. “Gloss Unlimited is formulated with special shimmer and glitter” oh that explains it, LOL. Then some packets of their cleansing products.
So this weekend/week I’ll be busy with family. Probably won’t be updating unless, for whatever reason, I do. :kissyfaceheart: Thought I’d post some snaps from last weekend FINALLY. I just haven’t had any time to really blog this week. :eep: Not to mention I’ve either been at work or been at home doing HOUSEWORK, TRES INTERESTING LET ME TELL YOU. :facepalmcry: :dizzy:
So last week I got this cardigan I had seen in the Urban Outfitters catalog. Thankfully it was in stores so I could try it on! Though some guy there was being a creeper and using the same mirror on the showroom while I was using it. Yeah, like standing behind me and checking himself out while I was looking at how this cardi fit me… so I turned around and told him there’s another mirror OVER THERE THANK YOU.
I wore it out on Saturday. :rose3: Went to a couple of stores including Saks, COOP – Barneys New York, Anthropologie, Sephora, MAC, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s & so on~~
Anthropologie has some vintage-style Christmas decorations for sale! :ladeeda: Like baubles and tinsel in old fashioned packaging. But it’s crazy overpriced. I’d have better luck convincing my Mom to give me her vintage decor, LOL. :blushingcute:
After that went to have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Got Evelyn’s Favorite Pasta sans pine nuts. :kissyfaceheart: And nope, no cheesecake for me, I was too full~ I actually don’t get cheesecake there very often :X, I’m always too full & I hate bringing food home where I forget to finish it in time & it spoils. If I do want cheesecake I go and order just cheesecake! :iiface:
Then it was off to Victoria’s Secret! I had Mike’s birthday coupon for $10 off any purchase! :laughingheart: So I went in to get some travel-sized lotions. Mine from last year are all empty now. :;_;: I had the little tubes from the last holiday gift set! :sqxmastree: These year’s come in a way cuter box with newer scents (not just the classics!) Ended up with $20 worth of stuff but when the girl rang me up she scanned the coupon, bagged it & gave it to me without my payment! I asked, “Don’t I have to pay??!” She said the coupon covered it 100%!! I’ve never walked out of of store without paying a dime, it was AWESOME! I guess the coupon was doubled or something because it really was for only $10 off but the total came to $20. So confused. :eep: But when I tried to get her to clarify she seemed really annoyed so I left and chalked it up to an awesome day~~ :gigglewakuface: :upheart:
I haven’t gotten a “larger” VS bag in a while, haahaa~ Usually I buy so little I get those tiny bags. I’m easily amused, what can I say~ :iiface:
Outfit Stats:
:bow: Cardigan: Urban Outfitters
:bow: Bow-tie Blouse: Yesstyle
:bow: Jeans: Forever 21
:bow: Boots: Shimamura
:bow: Bag: Coach
Also got around to beating Kirby’s Epic Yarn last weekend!! :grinning: I really liked this one, mostly because of the art design and multiplayer option. It was a bit disappointing to not be able to suck in enemies and transform, but the multiplyer & almost perverse & warped dialogue (LOL seriously, Oh Kirby~) But it’s probably just my own mind in the gutter. :skull:

GOLD MAKEUP FTW \o/ golds and browns are my favorite. and i love the artwork on everything!
the way your ruffle blouse layers with the grey cardigan is so ‘autumn-ish’! why u so gud @ cords, jennyyyyy??
omfg sleeping with a sock…why…i just…my mind……wtfff lololllll
-
Yeah I noticed you abandoned you no-bangs awhile ago too :o
I was going no bangs for a couple months but now I really want bangs, how do you deal with the predicament of switching back and forth? Because I know it’s a time consuming process :(
-
-
Did you know that VS is having a 6 for $30 sale on ALLLL their secret collection sprays, lotions, etc!
Definitely buying myself some early xmas presents!! haha“as long as you have this sock” hahahaha. well, at least it isn’t a tube-sock, haha *is still very immature* XDD
My best friend is obsessed with Kirby! Whenever we play Super Smash Brothers, she ALWAYS is Kirby and basically annihilates everyone. hahaha.
I’m currently playing through Super Paper Mario and it’s sooo much more fun than I thought it’d be!
-
looking good as usual jenny~
i was wondering what lower lashes you’re wearing in this? -
ahefkasfj ahhh! i love the collection~ it’s so soft and pretty :) just like your outfit! :D i love the white blouse paired with the cardigannnn!
-
Oh I love the make up! I was tempted to buy it when I saw your post about it, but I just don’t have the money to buy the palette. You look absolutely gorgeous! ^^
-
I agree! Makeup always looks awful on camera but so much more vibrant in real life :( But the blush is looking pretty good :)
That cardigan is super cute! It looks comfortable but still stylish ;D
Speaking of VS. Recently they just opened 2 here in Toronto so I finally visited one & was quite astonished at how good their makeup line was. I quite liked the two lipsticks that I picked up! Plus I also got this ’secret’ card for a random $10-500 off that I could use in the beginning of December. I highly doubt there are many $500 off cards out there… Cause that would be a fairly awesome VS shopping spree XD -
oooh I came close to buying that cardi at UO….but it was so expensive ; _ ;
It looks really nice on you though :) -
Hmm…I should definitely try wearing a cardigan with a skinny belt like that… I just love your outfit btw.
*runs off with magic sock*
-
I adore the colors on the Shu Uemura and Aya Takano palette.
-
Ahahaha the magic sock!!! I love it!
Ooooh the palette seems wonderful, just wonderful :)
And btw you look great! -
That palette is so pretty! *__* You weren’t able to get the one from last year, right? It actually looks a lot similar to the Tsumori Chisato Ribbon palette I have, but I love how this one has more gold! ♥ & I’m so glad I’m not the only one who keeps cute product packaging, haahaa XD
Anyway~ looking lovely as usual & have a wonderful holiday~! ♥ -
“A place where once glitter liner was referred to as “junk on my eye.” Hahahaa!”
-
of course i’m silly & used the less than character -_-
anyways, i said that i’ve gotten that, too when i’ve used glitter eye liner -_-the makeup palette looks really nice! bonus that it’s work approp because isn’t that where everyone spends most of their time? ;)
i hope you have a lovely & restful time at your parents’ house!
-
-
It looks beautiful! and your hair looks great, I must say :P
Ahh Cheesecake Factory – how I love you
the fact that they throw in good size free samples is a huuuge incentive for me to get one now, haha! I was so crushed to get such a tiiiiiny tiiiiiny sample at my last Sephora point mark :( *weep*
Have a great holiday!
-
Ahhh VS how I miss thee! So jealous, VS is so overpriced in Japan and I miss their lingerie. :( I bought a ton when I went home…so I got the big bag too haha.
These companies need to be paying you for all this advertisement!! So tempted to go out and buy that makeup now. It looks really pretty on you!
-
Hi, I just wanted to ask where u got ur cross necklace (http://sushi-cat.net/pics/11_16_10_4.jpg) :D THANKS!
-
Oh the Shu Uemura palette is gorgeous! Love those full size samples too!
-
You’re always pretty but you look so gorgeous in this shot! http://sushi-cat.net/pics/11_19_10_11.jpg Almost doll-like! haha
That being said, it seems like you’re getting in the holiday mood with the holiday makeup, shopping, etc. :) the gold shimmer palette looks great, by the way! I agree, the green liner is nice!
Also…can’t stand Anthropologie. Everything in there is soo $$$ and most of it is not even worth it! x-x -
hahaahahaha kirby looks like a creeper hugging that sock.
whoa, complete makeup change from this palette!? or rather, i just think you look different in these pictures lol. A GOOD DIFFERENT! :D
-
I LOVE YOUR HAIR OMG!!!!!
i really want to have that style of hair :P
i try to do ’style’ mine by tying it up in a bun before i sleep and then let it out .. (i dont really like using hairspray etc) so by the end of the day its all straight again :(
is that your natural hair type? wavy hair?also i looove your outfit you have on! the shoes especially haha
-
This makeup looks so awesome :) You’re so pretty!
-
I love the pallet, it’s so pretty. Shiny and warm, very Christmassy. It brings out the colour of your eyes. You look so pretty. Years of experience in the makeup department? Do you have any tutorials? I’ll browse for reviews though.
The cardi is really pretty on you. I love grey so I guess I’m biased. The creeper sounds fun. I love your outfit. It’s awesome ^_^
-
The palette colours are perfect – they’re the colours I wear most. Like you: I love gold eyeshadow it’s just so cute, isn’t it? The packaging was adorable too. I love adorable packing :)
That meal looks yummy too :) I really like pasta at the moment.
-
Hi! First time commenting here ☆!
First of all, your hair style is gorgeous!
Love the Shu Uemura palette ♥!!! Even the packaging is adorable!!! Gold eyeshadow is always a must!! Photos are fine, gives you a lovely doll like look
Love wearing cardigans on winter; they are chic for me =3! ☆!
WoW, you’d got free Victoria’s Secret creams! Lucky you n_~!xoxo
-
Wow, you look so great in the picture with the Victoria Secret bag. We don’t have that store here haha.
Anyway you look super stylish!That palet looks super cool! I never wear make up at all haha. Most make up here doesn’t work well with my very very mixed skintone XD yellow undertones fml! I’ve put something on my wishlist to make my own colours with though so I might get some more experimenting done this year woot. Gold is on my list hahhaa it’s the only colour that works perfectly with my skintone so far XD.
-
I don’t know why but you seem like you would be one of those girls that smells REALLY good XD
-
it looks great! i hope mine arrives soon!!! :D
-
I want it all!
I love your shopping hauls ^^ you have such good taste in ’stuff” :p -
I really like how Japanese make up palettes include a liner. It’s not very common here and I hate digging out my liners when I’m late >.
-
Oh dear. My comment got chopped off.
I really like how Japanese make up palettes include a liner. It’s not very common here and I hate digging out my liners when I’m late :( The shadows look gorgeous on you. And that cardigan looks so warm and cozy.
I can never finish anything @ the Cheesecake Factory. Their portion is huge so I always have to split with my friends.
And don’t you just love free stuff?! lol
-
Nice eyemake up, you look pretty. :)
What is lower lashes brand you used?? -
Ahhhhhhhh! That cardigan is AMAZING!!!!! i love love love it! and you wore it with the yesstyle blouse I was a fan of!!! Hmmmmmm I used to work at VS so I am trying to think of how you got it covered….not sure, but everytime you post about VS, it makes me miss my discount tremendously.
-
OMG i love that make up.. but it’s so expensive .. i’m too broke now =( from buying betsey johnson earrings.
anyways, it’s been a long time since i as blogging. i checked ur previous posts and ur still fashionable like usual.
-
That’s awesome how you got that lotion for free. :D
Victoria’s Secret always has nice coupons and things. I always get the free bra or panty coupons in the mail but always forget to use them. Haha.That makeup look really nice!I love gold eyeshadows. I need to get more Japanese makeup, it’s my favorite.
And you look very pretty, as usual~ :)
-
I love aya takano!! :)
-
AHH~ The eyeshadow palette looks so pretty~ lol I’ve never really worn eyeshadow (Haha, no skills to apply it… -o-;;;), but I like the golden hues~! Reminds me both of summer and christmas~ =O Oh – almost forgot – I love your eyes!~ I’m sure it’s cause your natural color mixes with the contacts but it looks awesome~
-
Stumble upon your blog. I’m so getting that palette and the lip gloss in the collection and maybe the oil and brush set. I can’t pick they’re all cute.
But fyi Shu will have their black friday sale. So it may be nice to stock up on your favs. Hair and outfit so pretty. -
Ohhh…
-
Ohhh… the shu uemura makeup pallette is REALLY nice. I might end up getting one for myself. XD Sigh. I find it a bit disturbing when I’m trying out something on the mirror and a random guy just pops up and poses in the mirror. AWKWARD TURTLE. :0 I read that you’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving with your family this year, and I just wanted to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING! J Hope you stuff yourself with loads of yummy turkey and STUFFING. Yumm yumm. XD
*I forgot about the little warning on the bottom. xD
