Shu Uemura Gloss Lacquer Review

Count the Muse confused. When she originally discovered Shu's Gloss Lacquer she could have sworn it was a limited edition product but low and behold it's still quite up and available at Shu's website as well as Sephora so I guess I somehow went wrong somewhere!



The good news is that this stuff is like crack for my lips and I adore it. The bad news is it's bloody expensive at $26usd per a pot thus making me feel like I'm on crack when buying a pot of this stuff! Who in their right frame of mind purchases $26 lipgloss? Don't answer that.

Three colors are available of this fabulous gloss two of which your Muse owns and keeps in her beauty vault the third would be a color called Invincible Pink.

Gloss Lacquer is exactly what you'd expect after seeing/reading the name. It's so glossy your lips have the lacquered effect. Surprisingly this stuff is a snap to apply. Normally any lip product in a pot always causes me heart failure, drama, and general stress during application but this warms on contact with my fingertip and smooths on easily.

My lips thank Mister Shu Uemura after using this brilliant stuff! I especially love that I don't have to stain my lips or use a lipstick beneath. The actual gloss isn't all that pigmented but for some reason or another upon application my lips just pop with really nice color! Slick, glossy, and perfect this is well worth the $26 bucks!

Now..if they'd only make some more colors I'd be quite happy hmmm......
