Does the kiss and blush last as long as the glossy stains? Thinking of trying one out.

Returned my palette today. I'm not sure if mine was a dud or what but two of the blues were way too dry for the money. This was my first YSL purchase and I just expected more. Maybe my hopes were too high? Thank goodness for Nordstrom's great return policy!

I picked up a few things at the YSL counter today.

-Summer palette - I hadn't even considered this but liked it in person.
-Glossy Stains in Guitly Coral #111 and Dangerous Pink #112
-Kiss & Blush #10 Nude Insolent

I picked these up at Bloomies so I guess Nordstrom exclusive on the Kiss & Blush is over. The SA tried #10 on me and it looked much nicer than in the bottle. I will get the orange one next time. I guess this might just be the thing I get a little at a time just like I did the Rebel Nudes Glossy Stains. I loved all of them and told myself I would get one a month. It didn't quite work out that way as I didn't get one for months at a time and then picked up 3 at the Sephora sale. Anyway, I asked the SA if this was like the Rebel Nudes or the old formula and she said no it is the old formula. Well, I see on the box that it does say Rebel Nudes so she is wrong. Maybe this is why I went for it. I seem to like Rebel Nudes better than the regular ones. I like the color selection better and the color change effect. These didn't seem to do the color change effect that the Rebel Nudes did but I didn't really test them out so we'll see.


So my Kiss & Blush purchase plans in order:
-orange
-coral
-nude
-may be a pink or red


I've been buying quite a lot from YSL lately. I bought 2 of the Volupte glosses and plan to buy a few more.

Great haul!!!! The red & fuchsia K & Bs are really pretty. I would love to have a nude in this formula too. Yes the Nordies exclusive is over. Sephora even has them now.

Medgal! Did you ever get the Prune Kiss & Blush? How do you like it? That one was not on my radar until I googled Kiss and Blush and this blog post popped up. Looks really nice on the blogger.

Yes & Yes...it's darker than it appears just looking at the bottle & that's what I had hoped for---love it!

Can u please post a swatch of the glossy stain 112 dangerous pink in comparison with maybe 194 fuchsia tomboy or 109 fuchsia fugitive. I have both and I don't whether to get it or not.i have to decide fast as I am in Australia buying from Neiman Marcus online and getting it shipped with a inch of other items using a ail forwarding service. Can't find the swatch else where.

Anyone remember I posted a few days ago about Saks exclusive glossy stains. Some spicy collection? Well, I saw them in store. They were paired with those spicy collection nail polishes from a while back. The mustard color and orangey and gold flakes ones. The #s are 35, 37 and 39. I swatched all 3 on my hand and liked all 3. I let the MA put 35 on me. It looked coral on my hand and my lips. I leave the store and its pink! Also it's called Pink Radiance. The color is nice but what happened? I think the lighting may be warped in that store. Anyway, #37 -looked like an orangey red and 39 looked purple. I don't have the names of those but I will probably end up getting them. I wish I could find swatches though.

The SA also recommended the Kiss & Blush. I told her I had one and she didn't believe me until another SA said they were available elsewhere. Why doesn't anyone ever believe me? Anyway, I told her what color I had and she said I needed a brighter color on my lips. She said 10 was ok for the cheeks. I don't get why they are pushing the different colors. I thought that was the selling point. You can use one color for both. But the promos show different colors on cheeks and lips. Anyway, she recommended 2 a pink and another pink color whose # I can't recall. I was surprised at this rec so I will check it out next time.

Edit - Oh I also bought Touche Eclat. I found an old note in my phone telling me I was a 5 but when I went to Sephora 5.5 seemed better. I asked the MA to pick one for me and she picked 5 too. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Also picked up another Volupte gloss in #2 (forgot the name) It's a light brown color. Really pretty. The MA recommended the gold gloss top coat which I liked but I have gobs of gold glosses and needed to cool it for the day. But I did like the texture of the gloss. It would work better for layering than my other gold glosses.

The new couture eye shadow palettes are on the Saks website. Not enough reviews and swatches for me bite just yet...

That's what I just came here to check. I picked up #2 - which just got here today, but I was just debating about another one and haven't seen any reviews or swatches yet.

The Spicy Collection (at least the nail polishes) consists of six or seven nail polishes (depending on which reviews you read). Of course, the three I was interested in, weren't released here, sigh. The mustard one, Safran Sultan, is like an exact match to RBL's Footpath. Sara did a review of most of them a while ago:

I saw the NPs in the Spicy collex previously, but they don't seem to be online any longer. I hope they resurface because I was interested in a few.

Cause they're sales reps?

Let us know how you like Touche Eclat in #5. Why did you prefer the 5.5 over it?

# 2 is Saharienne---very pretty. I'm considering the gold one to hopefully compliment a nice bronzed look.

 

[Medgal07]

# 2 is beautiful----hope you love it. I was eyeing #s 7 & 9, but I need eyeshadow like I need a hole in the head.

So hard to resist!

They had the polishes on display with the Glossy Stains so I guess you can find them in store. I know purchasing online is much more convenient. The #2 gloss is great. I've worn it 2 days in a row already. It is a go with everything color for me.

Touche #5 I just got it because 2 different Makeup Artist recommended it for me. I probably should have questioned them about it but I just went with it.

Oh that's good to hear because I keep thinking about the gold, #1---time to just bite the bullet

 

[Medgal07]

I put on the YSL Kiss and Blush in orange today but this time I actually put it on my cheeks and omg

. So easy to blend and pigmented. The texture is amazing. Maybe next week I'll get my hands on that red. Loving it so much.

I totally missed this post Shontay! That's awesome & I'm sure it looked so pretty on you. Have you gotten the red one yet?

 

[Sugar & Spice]
