Bubblegum Pinks: Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick in PK 344 Review, Swatches, Photos

Repurchase: Yes
Price: $23.00 (0.13 oz)
Product: 23/25
Packaging: 4.3/5
Value: 8.5/10
Overall Grade: A-
Today's focus is on the Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick in PK 344. I believe this is a limited edition shade.
The Packaging: The clear, plastic tube is unique and playful and while I love its different look, I am afraid that it could break if I'm not careful with it. (The plastic doesn't feel cheap like many drugstore lipstick tubes -it's does have a heavier feel.)
Ingredients!

The Product: The lipstick is very hydrating unlike so many of my other lipsticks. It actually keeps my lips feeling moisturized throughout the day -even if my lips are feeling dry. PK 344 applies smoothly and evenly without sinking into my lip lines. The color is sheer but buildable -2 or 3 layers will give you great color payoff.
There is a slight floral scent to the lipstick but it disappears once it's applied. The lipstick wears for about 3-4 hours.

The Color: PK 344 is a light-medium bubblegum pink with a lilac edge.

Overall: PK 344 was right at the borderline of A-/B+ and I felt it deserved to be pushed to an A-. The lipstick wears extremely comfortably and is so moisturizing. The only thing I could really ask for is some longer lasting color! I don't like reapplying my lipstick throughout the day. But other then that, this is a great lipstick -Shu Uemura lippies are my second favorite in my collection.

Where To Buy: Nordstrom (This is no longer available on the Shu Uemura site)
