YSL Discussion Thread

I was so excited to see a new YSL Holiday palette yesterday. It had blush, eyeshadow and lip color in it. I really liked the color scheme but I was disappointed in a few of the shadows. The bronze and gold were those glittery shadows they sell that really don't have much of a base color and is just sparkles. The pink was nice and showed up on me but maybe just a tad too cool for me. I really wanted to like it but I think I'll pass. But you may like it so check it out.

I saw this at NM last week. For some reason I have never gotten excited when they toss blush, lip and eyeshadows together. Although the leopard packaging was cool. It is the Dior Holiday Shock lipsticks I am intrigued by. It is split down the middle with one side matte and one side sparkle. I also hope their eyeshadow 5 pan that looks in pictures in to be black/silver/gray/white gold really does look like that. I have been undecided on the YSL tuxedo palette, and the Dior at least in pictures looks like a amped up version of the tuxedo.

I'm with you on this. I thought it was just my hangup but I have a wee problem w/co-mingled makeup products.
I passed on the TF summer palette for the same reason. I just prefer my products separate.

I saw the collection, too, but was completely underwhelmed by it. I guess I'm never really too excited about YSL holiday releases.

YSL ink is exactly the same thing as Maybelline dream wonder (or something like that)
100% the same texture

so sad to see one HE brand just repackage drugstore product

I would really expect similar formulas but better and improved from luxury brand

I purchased the TF summer palette and returned it. It is just not my thing. I know some people go ga-ga over this type of packaging, but to me, I usually don't even give them a second glance

Wow. I didn't know that. They stayed around longer than I thought they would---some may likely end up in CCOs

Has anyone gotten the Touche Eclat Or Rose (Rose Gold)? It's up on the YSL website and available at Sephora (Rouge preview I think). It looks so pretty but I wonder if it's really only worth getting if you're fair? I'm not sure the color would translate on medium skintone or darker. Thoughts?

I'm curious about the Touche Eclat in Or Rose too, but I'm afraid it might be too dark for me (MAC NC15). The Sephora swatch looks quite dark, but it could be misleading.

I read on some bloggers' sites that it has gold sparkles on it that are more on the obvious side, same with the primer, which we apparently aren't getting here. I was hoping for a light pearly pink type of highlighter with very fine shimmer, but I don't know how I feel about gold glitter under my eyes. It's pricey, so I don't want to make an impulse buy!

I think I read that about the gold sparkles on one or two blogs, but then I've read a couple others that make no mention of sparkles and looking at the photos I see no sparkles at all (http://www.etcllymlrs.com/2014/08/ysl-touche-eclat-rose-edition-review-swatch-photo.html and http://www.reallyree.com/2014/07/ysl-touche-eclat-rose-gold-highlighter-review.html). So I'm not sure what to make of that!

I suspect this will be illuminating but that the pink hue will only be apparent if you're quite fair. I could be wrong. But frankly I don't see a pink hue at all on the first reviewer I linked above. I think I'm skipping this because I'm skeptical it will look any different on than the TE I already have. To satisfy my rose gold fix, I think I'm going to get the Becca rose gold highlighter since it imparts more color and that's really what I'm looking for.

Here's the link that shows the sparkles and how light it is:

It just popped up on Sephora, if you're interested. I agree with you on the color. I can't say it looks rose gold, more like just a pinky highlighter, which MAC also carries. I'm intrigued, though, so maybe I'll pick it up when Sephora has their sale.

I guess this is the spring collection? I'm definitely interested in the highlighter.

I'm also interested in the highlighter. The eyeshadow palette looks versatile and easy to wear too, I can wear just 1 or 2 shades or even all of them.

That highlighter is beautiful. I've been needing wanting one with more of a pink/ peach tone that's not too sparkly.

I can't wait to see swatches of the highlighter!

Hello ladies. I am addicted to the YSL Rouge pur Couture Glossy Stains.

However I am unable to get to a counter, and need some help choosing a good color. I've posted a thread in the Recommendations forum. Here is the URL: http://www.specktra.net/t/190048/recommendations-for-ysl-glossy-stain-colors .

If my fellow YSL addicts could give me some help choosing what should go on my wishlist, I'd really appreciate it. The more opinions I get the better idea I'll have of what to get.

Oh, and any advice on other products from YSL I should try?

Can't wait for the new oil lip tints! I got to preview these as a Sephora Beauty University Event last Saturday. These are supposed to launch online at Sephora in December, and should be in-store later in the month.

This is the first that I've heard of these Yazmin. Should be interesting. I fell hard for the Baby Doll Kiss & Blush line.
