YSL Discussion Thread

[MissTania]

I can see there is a thread for YSL Spring 2015 "Désir de Jour"- but not much action there, so I will post here.

Review and pics of that elusive pink powder Collector Palette Lumière de Jour, from a Canadian blogger:

Picked up the new matte primer yesterday. Went with that based on since I am so fair, it would be better. Used it this morning, and liked much better then TF primer. Also for those who long for Dior Grey Fairy in the States, YSL color Modelle or something like that is a pretty close match. Went with the Dior neutral 5 pan over the YSL nude group. Love the Tuxedo group thought.

Neiman's might be getting the exclusive based on they had the exclusive for the first releases for the eyeshadow from this collection. Now you can pretty much get it where ever YSL is sold.

I've been falling in love with YSL lately. I HATE foundation or anything of the sort but Touch Eclat just might change my life.

I'm lusting after the Forever Light Creator serum but homegirl doesn't have $180 to blow on lotion. Le sigh.

I also have some lippies on my wish list, right at the top is Rouge Volupte Shine in #7 Rose Infinite.

I use Touche Eclat foundation too! I think it's a great foundation for someone who hates foundation LOL. One of the few I've tried that feels light and doesn't dry out my skin.

I picked up the other primer (medium) and have been testing that one out. I just tried it today with one of my Shiseido Shimmering Eye Color cream shadows when tend to fade dramatically on me and sometimes get patchy. Seven hours in, I have no patchiness and minimal fading (which is great for me). So, so far I'm pleased with the primer as well!

As someone who needs a more mattifying foundation, TE wasn't perfect for me, but I still bought it because it is just such a nice formula that I figured I'd find a way to deal with the shiny patches that developed. Despite those issues, I actually found that it lasted well and stayed even on me throughout the day. Weird thing: as much as I hate scent in foundation, I really like the light, fresh smell of TE. It's like cucumber water or something.

I use the Touche Eclat too. Love it, with a light dusting of the loose powder that came out about a year ago.

Has anyone seen the YSL Collector Palette Lumber de Jour for sale anywhere in the States? I know it is being sold in Canada, but they won't ship to the States. It reminds me of the souffle loose powder in pink that was released about a year ago. I just want because of the sparkles on the compact!!!! I am hoping Neiman's might get it, since they had the exclusive on the pink sparkle compact for the eyeshadow when it first arrived. Now it is sold everywhere. Which is good for us!!!! I am also dying to the Nuit Noir #59 nail polish. But it is only sold in Europe and they won't ship nail polish to the States, Gee, how does it get here for all the other polishes???

I just ordered the liquid liner in #1 Steel and the bright blue liquid liner too. The blue one looks more teal/aqua to me.

Unfortunately, the couture eyeshadow primer doesn't work for me. I tried it a few times - on Sunday I stayed at home the whole day and I put the TF Ripe Plum Duo on one eye and Dior Myriade on the other. In 2-3 hours the TF es were almost completely gone and the Myriade was incredibly creased. Yesterday I wore Myriade again with a taupe shade from the Chocolate bar I use all the time in the crease. I applied it at 10 and when I came back home at 5 I didn't have any eyeshadows left. Not even a hint.
I wore Myriade with Ripe Plum today over UDPP. I applied them at 8 am and now, at almost 8 pm, I still have them on. I even took a nap for 2 hours. They obviously don't look perfect but you can still see both shades. I'll try layering the YSL primer with something else or I'll use it just as a neutral cream eyeshadow.
Everything creases on me very quickly though, and I can never wear eyeshadows without a primer, so it might work for someone with less oily and less hooded eyelids.

Oh no! I still need to do more testing with the satin version of the primer. I found it did a nice job reducing fading and patchiness of some of my fade/crease-prone cream shadows, but it didn't work any miracles with the Hourglass Modernist shadows unfortunately which are just so powdery they don't stick to my eye very well. But I blame the shadows and not the primer in this instance.

Have you tried dusting a little translucent powder on your bare lid before primer, then a little again after primer and before shadow, then again over your finished eye? I've heard some people mention that helps to minimize oil production on the lids. Another thing I've done is to use my Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer as a base on my lids before primer. I got a small container of it to use on my face but found I preferred the look of my foundation without it, so to use it up I started trying it on my lids. Couldn't hurt to try if you have it or can get a sample!

I don't really want to use face primers in my eye area but I will try using some powder. I usually clean my eyelids with some Bioderma before applying the primer. I'll try it again, when I don't have to go out. I really wanted to like it but so far I'm getting the same "effect" as I did from the paint pots. I'm glad you like yours!

I did a swatch compare of the #5 singles against the Dior Grey Fairy yesterday. Grey Fairy is more sheer and lavender/grey. The #5 was more taupe.

So, I was walking past the YSL Counter and finally the Spring Collection had arrived. We got the Collector Palette Lumière de Jour

It is quite pretty, but I wasn't amazed. The packaging was really beautiful.

Then of course I saw the new Chanel Rouge Cocos, and a gorgeous Bobbi Brown Matte lipstick from the Monday to Sunday range in Watermelon which was so opaque and striking.

When will it ever end?!

Australia- if you are interested in a CP, let me know!

 

[ashievic]

Was this is in the US? I have been in contact with YSL reps in the US and they all said we won't be getting this.
