MAKEUP | Shu Uemura x Maison Kitsune Camo Lip Swatches

Shu Uemura and Maison Kitsune are back with this year's summer Camo Collection! Unlike the previous Maison Kitsune Christmas collection that was characteristic of Shu's bright and fun esthetic, this collection is smoky and cool and makes me feel like I should be vaping while wearing one of these lipsticks. Though there is also an eyeshadow palette as well as an Ultime8 Cleansing Oil, I am all over these incredible lipsticks!

MAKEUP LOOK | Shu Uemura Maison Kitsune ft. The Beauty Remix Smokey Eye & Cheek Palette #Plum Review & Swatches

The holiday season had SO MANY amazing and wonderful limited edition releases that it was hard to keep up. My day job had me working some very long hours and as much as I love my corner of the internet, I do have my priorities. Though I'm sure we could chat at length about work-life balance, today's conversation is all about yet another droolworthy collection from Shu Uemura! Thankfully, there is still quite a selection of the Maison Kitsune collection available online so if there is anything here that catches your eye, you can still grab it!

NAILS | Shu Uemura Maison Kitsune Nail Enamel in Indigo Glitz #ManiMonday

Sorry guys and gals, but I received the Shu Uemura Maison Kitsune Holiday Collection fairly close to Christmas and just did not have the chance to dive into it until Christmas Day. Luckily, most of the collection is still available online so it is definitely not too late! This is the first Shu nail polish that has appeared on Cosmetic Proof and of course it is sooo purdy! I have a penchant for green, blue and purple so if I didn't pay attention, all of my nail swatches would probably be JUST those colours. I'm fairly conservative everywhere else so my nails are probably the only place where I feel I can "party hard".

Indigo Glitz* ($25.00 CDN) is a glittery dark blue/purple duochrome with tiny purple and blue glitter. It is fully opaque in 2 coats and has a dreamy formula making application very easy with its self-leveling properties.
