I have this in beige 901s and pink 301 s. First of all I absolutely love the crystal shine lipsticks. The texture is amazing, it goes on so smoothly, like a gloss yet it's not sticky at all like a gloss. It's silky smooth and moisturizing.
Beige 901s is a sheer nude beige color with some sparkle. The Pink 301s is a sheer light pink with pearlescence. These meld in to my lips and basically enhance my natural lip color.
I can't wait to repurchase these colors and to try out new ones!

My coloring is pretty fair, lm nude tm is slightly too dark for me.

I love this in 313s. It's so pretty and perfect if you want something between a lipstick and lipgloss. This has the shine without the stickiness of a gloss and none of the heaviness or overly madeup look of a lipstick. It's a perfect, subtly sexy lippy and I found my perfect colour in 313s. Looks amazing with Nars Multiple in Portofino as a blusher.

i love #357....cutest sheer pink ever!...i usually hate glitter in my lipsticks but this doesnt have that disco ball look...the glitter is very mute and gives your lips a slight glimmer. doesnt dry out my lips mid-day and goes on smoothly.it reminds me of barbie** very girly**

When I buy a lip product, I have to make sure that it passes the hair-sticking test. If my hair even remotely feels like it will stick to my lips, it FAILS and I will not look at it again. I know it's really picky, but I can't stand the feeling of having sticky lips. So far, there are only 2 brands that have actually PASSED my test- Shu Uemura and Lancome.

I own the Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine in Rosy Mauve (WN 246 S) It is a very beautiful, natural color yet gives incredible shimmer. Most importantly, it feels incredibly natural and light on my lips. Often, I forget that I have any product on at all until I look at a mirror and I am shocked at how gorgeous my lips are.

Simply elegant.

Got this in the Beige Peach color and cannot wait to try more! Best shiniest lipstick ever, more like a gloss, but longer lasting with no stickyness. They have very fine shimmer(not glitter) so they don't get that dull, dry look of a lot of lipsticks. If your a gloss lover try these lipsticks!

Got this in WN254S about two months ago and find myself reaching for it all the time. In fact, I cannot bear to leave home without it -- I love it that much. The Crystal Shine l/s are a bit sheerer and significantly slicker in texture when compared to the regular Rouge Unlimited l/s. That said, I find that the staying power is still pretty decent despite the more moisturizing formula. WN254S is a plummy-mauve shade with a very fine silvery shimmer and it is delightfully flattering on me in a subdued sort of way (very fair, very cool skintone, dark blonde, green eyes). The base shade is actually very similar to my natural lip color with perhaps just a hint more lilac in the undertones. Very pretty l/s.

I believe that this was newly released for Spring 2008. They are similar to the Rouge Unlimited collection but sheerer and with more shine. Shu Uemura advertises them as giving a more 3-d type of colour.

I currently own 2 colours - OR 563S (golden coral) and PK 313S (pink peach). Both are lovely sheer colours that are like my own lip colour but better. My mother owns RD 174S (shimmery berry) which goes on more opaque but still with some shimmer and gives the most gorgeous sheer red lip.

Compared to the Rouge Unlimited collection, the Crystal Shines are far more moisturising and feel exactly like just wearing a lip balm. They feel so light which is why I love them as I had previously avoided lipsticks as they felt heavy on my lips. They also don't have the tacky stickiness of a lip gloss. These are not terribly long lasting but I don't mind constant reapplying due to how moisturising they are.

These definitely are a repurchase for me in multiple shades probably and I recommend them to all my friends and family!
