I swatched the 'red', 'wine' and top row of the 'pink' categories on the Japanese Shu site, slightly out of order as the lovely SA had to go dig some out of storage. HK$135 for a refill.
First impressions: these seem to be softer and more pigmented than the old Shu blushes, but I'm not sure if it's due to the testers being newish and some of my old blushes pushing double digits. If you have blushes from both generations, please chime in!
Pigment and finish varies between shades (225 and 325-327 are softer and more muted -- but I believe this is intentional). All swatches are 1 swipe onto bare arm. Click to enlarge as always.

ReplyDeleteSo so gorgeous! I Canadian counters stocked all blush colours. :-(
ReplyDeleteThis is very helpful and am grateful for them!
OMG *iz dead now* thank you for the swatches! I will order some more and this is what I need ;D. I have both old and new (but not the same colour though), I find that the new ones are a bit creamier and last longer and more pigmented. But I can't compare 1 colour (old vs new).
ReplyDeleteOoooooh. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhen the SA said I could swatch (and knew what that was) and pulled up a chair I was like a kid at Christmas! :D
ReplyDeleteClaire: tysm for confirming! I will definitely be picking up one of these now.
Absy and everybody: if you need a CP or whatevs, just give me a shout. The singles are HK$135 each here.
I could totally lick your arm right now. Wow... those are GOOOORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI want them all despite the fact that they all probably will not work for me XD
ReplyDeleteLJ: you know I'd enjoy that :D
ReplyDeleteGingi: most would be v pretty on you IMO! There's some bright warmth in all the shades from 335 onwards
