The packaging on these palettes and single products are so lovely that they barely even need to be wrapped up in order to give as gifts. Karl Lagerfeld was very active in designing the packaging and I know that many ladies will want these products just for packaging. I am just hoping that the formulas and shades inside are just as good as the outside. From Shu Uemura, "Once upon a time, while the town was being decorated for Christmas with ornaments a small miracle took place in the atelier of Karl Lagerfeld’s castle.“mon shu girl” escaped from his sketchbook - a “dessin” come to life! Spreading colorful times and holiday sparkle to girls around the world. mon shu girl dons Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic look and awakens the sleeping beauty that lies deep within. this holiday season, shu uemura and Karl Lagerfeld send a miracle of color and beauty that is a gift for every girl." I am so excited right now and it is time to start looking at all the products in this magical collection!

Is is bad that the first thing that I am attracted to is the red lipstick from this collection?! It continues to amaze me sometimes that I can look at all kinds of palettes and limited edition sets and I still want the red lipstick. I haven't been wearing red lipstick as much as I would like to lately so perhaps that is why I am so attracted to new shades of it. I just hesitate to order this shade, it appears pretty wamr based on the photo on the website and I hate to have to return this to Japan if I don't like the shade. I think that I will hold off on this lipstick this time around...
The product that I am the most likely to order is the Prestigious Bordeaux Eye and Cheek Palette, this contains a great series of bronzes for the eyes and I will use all of the shades inside of it. I love the packaging and I have to say that I can't be sure that I would be as in love with this palette if the packaging wasn't as pretty. But I just really want this set and I will try to order it before it sells out.
The last two products that I really want in this collection is the Nail Colors in Karl Black and Shu Shu Red. I love both of these shades and I would wear them for the rest of the holiday season and then all through the winter.
I love the packaging on this collection but I just find many Shu shades and products to be choices that won't really work for my skin. Shu is made for Asian skin, tones that are totally opposite of mine and I can't pull off any of the fake eyelashes. This company has been very hit or miss for me lately, the hits are huge but the misses are just as huge...
