Trying out Shu Uemura's Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipsticks

 Two weeks ago, I was invited by Shu Uemura to their Rockwell store to try out the new Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte lipsticks. Being a matte lipstick lover and excited for Shu's first- ever matte lipstick line, I went at 11 a.m., the opening time of Powerplant Mall. (Told ya' I was excited!) I was the only customer in the store and it felt so heavenly: I was able to look around, swatch around, and shop around in peace. :D

Btw, sorry for the crappy quality of the pictures. I left my Lumix LX3 at home that day. Brilliant, eh? :p

Anyway, here's great news gals: Every Wednesdays, shop for a minimum of P8,000.00 and get the SHU bag for free! Your purchase should include any of the following: Tsuya Skin products, cleansing oil, or Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte Lipsticks

 And here is Shu Uemura's newest Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte line. Finally, they already have a matte line! I've always wondered how Shu Uemura, a brand who has been making glossy lipsticks since time immemorial, will create a matte variant. I thought it wouldn't be so nice since it's the brand's first time ever (if I'm not mistaken) to create a matte line. But no ma, Shu's matte lippies feel velvety smooth and soft. They've taken the softness of the regular Rouge Unlimited lipsticks and made it matte, solid, and pigmented. The result is a buttery, melt-on-your-lips kind of texture. Good job, Shu! 

It only comes in 6 shades though. I wish they'd add more! :)

These are the two colors that have captured my heart:

 A wonderful true red shade. Must resist once more! I've too many reds! Ack! But it's so pretty. :P

 Boy oh boy, what a lovely true Hot Pink shade! Talk about statement lips! I want this, and the red one too! *Enter music "Torn between two lovers...*

Thank you Karen Crisostomo for this wonderful shopping experience! I'll see you on the arrival of Monshu girl. I'm so excited! :D

I went home with the cute Shu bag and a tube of Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte. So what color did I get? Find out in my review. :)
