YSL Pure Chromatics 4 Wet & Dry Eyeshadows in 11 Review and Swatches


(5,1g/0,18oz. - 55USD) These two pictures were taken only 1 month apart and look how messy the YSL packaging turns out. They have always had this problem and they never intend to correct it. Guerlain also has this shiny gold packaging but they never get messy like this.




Other than the packaging I'm loving this quad. I already have a dent in the 3rd shade. I never use them wet though, never need to because I'm satisfied with this moderate pigmentation, less is more to me when it comes to pigmentation on eyeshadows.
The first shade is a dirty muddy blue, the second one is a nude, the third one is a brown and the last shade is a denim shade. All 4 shades look slightly shimmery on the palette but those shimmers are quite invisible on the eyes.

YSL La Laque Couture Nail Polish in 32 Rouge Expressioniste Review and Swatches


(0,34floz./10ml - 25USD) I haven't been using reds on my nails for ages, this is actually deeper, almost maroon red which is very trendy this season. Unfortunately this varnish chips easily and the color also loses it's shine very easily.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in #1 Nude Beige



(4g/0,14oz. - 34USD) I fancy this luxurious packaging and the pigmentation of this lipstick yet the formula is not good at all, it's very light weight and not long lasting. And my lips feel dry after wearing it a couple hours. Rouge Voluptes has around 30 different shades which are all creamy finished with subtle glossiness.
Nude Beige is basically a nude pink, a lot more pink than 2 Sensual Silk, you can find my review about it by clicking here. And you can also find #8 Fetish Pink and #26 Tender Peach's review by clicking here.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in #6 Rose Bergamasque Review and Swatches



(0.13oz./3.8g - 32USD) YSL always has an amazing choice of shades when it comes to lipsticks. Rouge pur couture collection has almost 30 different shades. All of them have creamy finish and semi-opaque coverage. For #6 Rose Bergamasque even though it's a nude color it's still hard to get an even coverage and it slips, moves towards to the edges of my lips throughout the day, so I'm not a fan of the formula. I love the design of the case but it gets messy easily.

YSL Touche Blush 4 Apricot Review and Swatches




(4,5g/0,15oz. - 45USD) I must admit that the packaging looks so cool but I'm not sure if it's convenient. Because when you dab the sponge on your cheeks it just puts the color in the middle and then the shimmer/glitter all over. You can pretty much see what I mean in the picture above, I just dabbed 3 times and didn't blend. It has extreme amount of micro glitter which is not what I go for in a blush but I know that other shades in this range doesn't have this much shimmer. The color pay off is quite poor and it's unusual in high end brands, I don't think is a bad thing either, I don't want to bother and use a very light hand and blend, blend, blend.

YSL Rouge Pur Lipstick in #32 Vivid Pink Review and Swatches



(3,5g/0,12oz. - 30USD) I actually got this lipstick years ago. And I've never used it that much because it just moves too quickly and shows the black spot on my lips, it dries out my lips too. I feel like some lipsticks adhere to your skin and be a part of it, but this one rather sits on top of my skin. But the color is gorgeous, purplish vivid pink, with some pearlescent effect. It looks nice with a soft brown smokey eye.

YSL Touche Brilliance Lipgloss in 3 Pink Quartz and 6 Misty Pink



(2,3g/0,08oz. - 30USD) Yves Saint Laurent always has amazing lip products, you can find anything and everything depending on your needs. I never need a sheer lip product, I always want to see the full color on my lips because I have a dark purple mark on my bottom lip :( So that's why these click-pen lipsticks are not necessarily my favorites. They have teeny bit of color unless you put a really thick layer, but at the same time they have the most beautiful sparkles, shimmers.
3 Pink Quartz is a sheer magenta pink almost purple under some lights and have purple-blue shimmers.
6 Misty Pink is more baby pink and again has tons of shimmers.

Outfit Of The Day vol. 3 featuring Nasty Gal Fuzzy Stripe Knit - Mocha


Fuzzy Stripe Knit Sweather : Nasty Gal
Zigzag Tights : Forever New
Shoes : Bebe
Bag : YSL

I received my first order from Nasty Gal, they are amazing although shipment took more than I expected, I still love them. They are so much like Urban Outfitters. This fuzzy stripe knit sweather is SO soft that I feel like I'm cuddling with it. I paired it with a stretch skirt and tucked my sweather in it. My shoes are an old ones from Bebe but I'm sure that you can find so many similar ones.

Outfit Of The Day vol. 2 featuring Betsey Johnson Carrin-P Leopard Wedge Bootie



Faux Fur Cardigan : Forever New
White Top : Zara
Black Tights : Forever 21
Leopard Wedge Booties : Betsey Johnson
Black Bag : YSL

I don't know if you are familiar with the brand Forever New but they are my newest obsession, they are the prettiest store ever, almost everything is colored dusty rose pink and pinkish nude and beige! My cardigan has a removable faux fur and it's belted, mine is size 6 for referance. They are an Australian brand and they use British sizing. Such a pity that their shoes start from 37 which is a size big for me, and I couldn't purchase a shoe from them even though I loved a pair of flat booties there.

But I got Betsey Johnson's Carrin-P Leopard Wedge Bootie, they have 5" inch heel with 1 1/2" platform and they are so comfy.

My bag is from Yves Saint Laurent, I got mine last year but you can find many similar ones at Bluefly.

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #8 Fetish Pink and #26 Tender Peach Review and Swatches





(4g/0,14oz. - 34USD) I swiped only once in the swatches on my hand, can you believe how pigmented are these lipsticks? They are the most pigmented and the creamiest lipstick that I have ever seen in my entire life. They have SPF 15 which is always a good thing. The bad thing is they won't even stay 2 hours on your lips, they are also very drying.
Fetish pink is a creamy blue based mid tone pink.
Tender peach looks just like an apricot, looks nearly nude if you have yellow undertones.

YSL Golden Gloss in #1 Simply Gold and #11 Golden Whisper Review and Swatches




(6ml/o,2floz. - 30USD) These beauties have real gold in them, 0,2% 24 carat gold flecks as YSL website says. They are very shimmery and dazzling. Unluckily they are very sticky, as sticky as MAC Dazzle Glasses. They are all very sheer, only the golden shimmer shows on the lips with a hint of color, so they all look the same on the lips, slightly different that's all. So I think you'll only need one shade of the Golden Glosses.

YSL Rouge Volupte in Sensual Silk #2 Review and Swatches



(0,12oz./3,6g - 34USD) I love how YSL makes these unique, precious looking packagings. Also the product inside is very good, the only downside is that it moves too quickly. Other than that what you see in the tube is what you get. They are extremely creamy and good looking at the same time, I would recommend Rouge Volupte's to anyone who wants to splurge on a lipstick.

Beige Caress is brownish nude with golden pearls. Perle's come in 5 different shades, none of them are bright, 34USD each.

YSL Ever Long Lengthening Mascara #3 Ever Blue Review and Swatches





This mascara comes in 7 lovely shades and they are supposed to double lengthen and help grow your lashes. I haven’t used this mascara long enough to tell if it really helped my lashes to grow but I can definitely say that it does lengthen and seperate your lashes very well. It is 30 USD (9ml/0,30oz.) it has such a lovely packaging like all YSL products.
