It never seems to does it?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?!

Oh no---you cannot point me in the direction of yet another makeup brand. That said, those swatches are so beautiful, they brought tears to my eyesOh Meddy..now I am interested in Bobbi Brown, particularly those creamy matte lippies and the blush trios from the Hot Nudes Spring Collection.

Meddy - I was so taken aback by the creamy matte lippie I tried on my hand- soft, opaque, matte yet creamy. I think I may have only bought 2 Bobbi Brown lip products more than 10 years ago, then a BB Cream around last year which is very good. These matte lippies are going to change that very quickly, it seems to be a brand with a big range of products to explore.Oh no---you cannot point me in the direction of yet another makeup brand.

I will be going to swatch them in the next few days....Glad you liked the swatches

I'm not meaning to hijack the YSL thread with more BB talk, but I found these swatches with older colors, not the newly released colors: http://hyundori.blogspot.com/2012/10/bobbi-brown-creamy-matte-lip-color.html Thanks ladies, now I want to try one of these too!:shock:

I wanted to try Bobbi Brown last year but it was just too many products and too little lipstick swatches (IBB aside).

There are a lot of products! I love the creamy matte lippie I bought in the shade Hot 14.
I think I should keep my distance lol.

Is this http://chicprofile.com/2015/03/ysl-couture-palette-and-touche-eclat-limited-edition-for-spring-2015.html#more-96003 really a uk exclusive? I need that palette.

You might want to check out if this is a palette in the regular line just re-packaged. I had this issue last year with an exclusive at Selfridges. The pictures are not actual photos. The Chinese New Year palette was in fact a regular palette with new packaging. I think when this is done, it should be disclosed.

Yes, they've done this a couple of times. That palette does look suspiciously like one of the ones from the regular line, although I can't say for certain. and yes, they should absolutely disclose and make it clear when they do this.

I agree. That palette looks like No.3 Afrique. It's worth checking into it first.

I think it sucks they use drawings vs. actual photos of the product. Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. Again, if you want the fancy compact for a product already sold, super. But as a consumer we should know exactly what it is we are purchasing. Think of the Coke that is sold at the Holiday season. Same product but in the can with Santa or the Polar Bear on it. We know it is the same Coke. Marketing gurus need to be honest. As well as the stores who promote as an "exclusive". Think of the YSL pen, we know it is same product, just a super color container.
