Maybe the spring collection will change my lack of love for this company. I loved their spring collections more than any others in the years past and I have been all about adding more color to my makeup collection this season. Blossom Dream is the name of the new collection and it is inspired by all shades of spring flowers. If there ever was going to be a collection that I will love from Shu Uemura, this is the one.
"From the moment colors are added to her purified canvas, beauty blooms from her face. A unique personal beauty lies within you and blooms like spring flowers along with your hopes, dreams, and ambitions, just like Mr. Shu Uemura’s colors filled dreams in Hollywood. The atelier’s secret color recipes are now shared with the entire world. Soothing shades in every possible combination abloom with infinite beauty inspiration to fuel the dreams that exists in every woman." The eye makeup look on the model is a bit on the extreme side for me but I would be more likely to purchase the palettes and then only use two or three of the shades at once (instead of five or more).
The Blossom Dream collection!

Hello rainbow colored false eye lashes - of course I will be skipping over this product since there is just no way that I would be able to pull this look off in any situation of my life. Maybe Halloween... That being said, there are a lot of shades in this collection that I will be skipping over this spring season, I might love the shades in the palette or in the tube but I could never wear them so there is no point in me ordering shades that I know already that I will not wear.
I think with this collection it will just be much easier for me to write about the handful of products that I love rather than go into why I will skip over half of the collection. Anyone that has read this blog for the past few months or longer will know that I would never wear coral lipstick or bright blue eye shadow. I like both of the Pink and Green eye shadow palettes, I think that I would be more likely to purchase the Pink. The Pink palette contains a series of matte shades in deep pinks and neutrals and I would get a lot of wear from these shades this spring. The Green palette is another mix of greens and neutrals, I would get use from this one and I like it but I think that if I had to pick a favorite then I would go for the Pink palette. I have been all over pink eye shadows this spring and this palette would be a very solid accent to my collection.
The rest of the products that I am attracted to in this collection are mostly pink shades, I love the bright pink shade of the Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte lipstick, I want to add this shade to my collection very soon. I also really like the pale pink shade of the Gloss Unlimited, this is another shade that I will use a lot over the spring and summer. I also like the silver lip gloss but I don't know how much I would use it, either on its own or applied over lipstick so I will table this decision for a few weeks.
This is a stronger collection from Shu Uemura but I have been finding that ever since this company was pulled from United States distribution, the shades and products are getting harder and harder to wear. The eye lashes in this collection would work best on a Japanese cartoon character and I feel that this will be the way the company continues to trend in the future...
