My Shu Uemura loot from Hong Kong did not stop with the eyelash curler, which I shared in my previous post. Since Shu Uemura is way cheaper in Hong Kong, I should make the most out of my possible”savings,” right? Hehehe! 🙂
Anyway, just before I left for Hong Kong, a friend of mine told me about this Shu Uemura 2-Way Fundation. I heard that Shu Uemura is great for asian skin, so it definetely is worth a try. 🙂 I purchased my Powder Foundation (the case and the refill) for HKD 310, which is around Php 1,860. If I’m not mistaken, the case together with the refill is sold here for Php 2,500- quite a huge difference. Don’t you think?
So far, I’m liking this PowderFoundation of Shu Uemura. It has full coverage and it takes a while before my skin gets oily. I do not need to retouch every now and then, unlike when I use Bare Escentuals. I don’t know if it’s just me and my friend, but whenever we use Bare Escentuals, our skin becomes extremely oily after a few hours. Bare Escentuals is definitely nice when applied initially, but it is not something we could really wear all day. Maybe it’s also because of the humid weather here in the Philippines, but Bare Escentuals easily melts after a few hours. On the other hand, the Shu Uemura 2-Way Foundation is longer lasting, which is probably a better choice for asian skin. So for those going to Hong Kong any time soon, don’t forget to grab this one beauty must-have! 🙂
That’s a great buy! I was supposed to buy bare escentuals din diba but I was waiting na maubos yung shiseido ko. but I’ve been using yung mga bare escentual samples i get as well as the rareminerals. and now, I don’t feel like buying bare anymore. It’s not very practical for me. katamad kasi magapply ng bare in the car or when you’re out. so I’m actually thinking of getting a mac foundation and other stuff. i saw a video kasi in youtube. i was impressed. I’ll probably blog about it too. but yeah that shu full coverage is another great option! likey! 🙂
Bare escentual is really nice, especially when newly applied, but I have to be in a really cold place for my face not to produce too much oil. Hehehe! 🙂 Actually, even in an airconditioned room, my face would look very oily after a few hours when I use Bare, and by the end of the day, I wouldn’t look I wore a make-up. It just melts on my face! Hahaha! As for MAC foundation, my skin doesn’t love it so much. Again, oil invasion after a few hours! Hehehe! It really has full coverage, but I just can’t wear it for everyday. Also, when I wear MAC’s foundation, there’s this “heavy” feeling. 🙁 But since the effect of MAC make-up is very nice when in front of lights and cameras, I make sure to use MAC for occasions. LOL! 🙂 But for this Shu foundation, I think I’m liking it so far (especially for everyday use). 🙂 Hehehe! 🙂 If you want, I can buy for you this Aug pala. 🙂
Yah when i use bare wala na by the end of the day. as for the mac, the one i watched kasi she uses a foundation at home with the mac fix to spread the foundation. then mac blot powder pa after. then she carries the powder lang for retouch. but nway, sige let me know if ok ang results ng shu 🙂 meron naman dito but definitely it’s cheaper in HK. 🙂 thanks nway! 🙂
Yah, nice talaga ung mac. For a time, I used their foundation and powder, but di ko na rin naubos kasi di sya okay sa skin for everyday use. Nagrereact skin ko! 🙁 Pero pag may occasion talaga, I use mac pa rin kasi sa pics, nicer ung effect nya. Hehehe! 🙂 Cge, will let you know kung super okay talaga shu. 🙂
