The adjective is very much
not mine, it's Karl Lagerfeld's. And the only thing to mar my latest, and favouritest, purchase: Shu Uemura Mon Shu Girl
Prestigious Bordeaux Palette.
Proper swatches etc. to come as London smog is being very uncooperative at the moment. I just wanted to share the squee today, in my fading light :)

The texture of the top two shades in particular are simply divine -- intense, molten pigment. The middle two are silkier: one shimmer, one satin. Bottom left pan is a Glitter shade akin to the newer ones released this summer, and bottom right is a satiny-smooth, very pigmented blush [ignore the glitter, that's pollution].
For inquiring minds: this is what Mon Shu Girl looks like after dark
Er... so.... anyone depotted one of these Shu palettes? Any tips?
