2009 shu uemura Tokyo Lash Bar

2009 shu uemura Tokyo Lash Bar. Shu Uemura is known for their lashes and if you're a lash girl then you'll crave all of the lashes from this year's last bar collection. They create styles in lashes like you've never seen before. Look below to see the incredible styles for 2009.


Goldglam Leaf (Premium Edition) ($79.00)

Created by Kakuyasu Uchiide, International Artistic Director

Emotionally stirred by how the forest nurtures and provides shelter for its inhabitants, Kakuyasu Uchiide designed a pair of lashes that recreate the beauty and delicacy of leaves. These glimmering lashes made from real skeleton leaves are drenched in glimmering gold. Transparent crystals sit atop this hand-crafted piece of art for a glistening, captivating look. ($79)

Marine Tide (Premium Edition) ($79.00)

Created by Yuji Asano, International Chief Make-Up Artist

Spending much of his time at the beach, Yuji Asano looked to the sea for inspiration when creating his lashes. One of nature’s most profound marvels, the ocean with its vastness and crashing waves can calm and rejuvenate the spirit. The unique curl design of this lash echoes the undulating roll of the ocean’s tidal cycle. This striking lash also references Mr. Uemura’s iconic “umbrella” eyelash. It is weaved with multiple shades of blue, from sea and sky blue to deep turquoise, accented with a sprinkling of white foam.

Snow Twist (Premium Edition) ($79.00)

Created by Mina Matsumura, Artistic Director, Europe

Looking to the sky and the many ways light emanates from it, Mina Matsumura captured nature’s celestial miracles in her pair of lashes. Each lash is made from thin, milky white wires. Frosted pink teardrop crystals enhance the lower lash.

Fleur-Ever (Premium Edition) ($79.00)

Created by Gina Brooke, Artistic Director, United States

Inspired by a flower’s ability to lift spirits and engender energy, Gina Brooke created a pair of false eyelashes as a way to share her sensibilities with the world. This lash’s design emulates the tail of a bird whose exotic purple plumage is accented with white flecking. Petal-like forms hide inside the lashes, bringing to mind a bouquet of sweet peonies. Perfect for any extravagant or fanciful look.

Lavender Bloom False Eyelashes ($29.00)

Deep purple tone eyelash with soft, fur-like materials creating a gentle and subtle appearance. When eyes blink or head moves from left to right so does the gentle, fine fur for a feminine and delicate atmosphere.

Farfallina False Eyelashes ($29.00)

Triple layers of brown and black tones with different levels of curls and longer lashes toward outer edge enable a natural, delicate look and ideal volume on the lash.

Lucent Rainbow False Eyelashes ($27.00)

Multiple loops of translucent rainbow colored wires are lined next to each other, which looks like a rainbow in the sky.

Rainbow Flare False Eyelashes ($18.00)

Renovation of color flare eyelashes in warm and cool colors. Blue and green with more yellowish tones to match eye makeup and add accent on the lash.

Mini Star Glitz False Eyelashes ($22.00)

Small sized, night sky colored eyelash with star motifs to express a pretty twinkle on the edge of the eyes.

Mac Colour Craft Swatches and Review

Mac Colour Craft Swatches and Review. The Colour Craft collection was all about Msfs and so many colors from the collection were breathtakingly gorgeous. If you're a big fan of Msfs make sure you pick up some goodies. Many worry that the Msfs are really glittery but I think Mac really turned it down this time around and made sure that nothing was too over the top glittery. The eyeshadows were also alot creamier and easier to apply then with other collections. One of my favorite Msf's was Sunny By Nature because it was so close to my skin tone and it was so soft and more matte then some of the others from the collection. The lip glosses were also alot easier to apply then with the sugarsweet collection. and they are also more pigmented. Look below to see swatches from the collection.

Mac Graphic Gardens Swatches Fresh Cut Palette

Mac Graphic Gardens Swatches Fresh Cut Palette. The Fresh Cut palette from the Mac Graphic Gardens collection is for those of us girls who love soft pinks and reddish brown hues. The palette contains 6 shades which you can see swatched below. I'm not sure what the name of the shades are since Mac doesn't say but all of the shades are gorgeous. I also adore the packaging. It changes when you move it going from flowers to a black and white mac logo.
