I'm really kicking myself for not exploring Shu more when I was at Holt Renfew a while back. I always am like a deer in headlights when actually shopping at a counter LOL
ReplyDeleteI love Shu, and these are gorgeous. I've been wearing Shu eyeshadow and blush for more than a decade and am so glad the brand is still available, even if I can no longer check it out in person in the US. Thanks much for the preview.
ReplyDeleteI looove the packaging on the Prima Palette! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of - wow! I really like the looks - so divine :)
