So I own the ysl quint in 05 (the purpley lavender one). It's gorgeous, some of the shades are quite similar, and oyu have to build it up, but it creates a really gorgeous lavender smokey eye, and without primer, I find the wear time to be more than average and minimal creasing. The texture is pretty decent too, not the best, but pretty decent. I love the look of the ysl couture variation nude palette, because for me, I only have the naked 3, and find I use the darker shades less, plus it is way less similar to this ysl one than the other ud nakeds. So I like that it has much lighter shades. So i actually see it as an improvement on ud' palettes in some ways. The issue is this means it will suit less skin tones so not very versatile. The smokey one looks nice too. I'm picking up the nars dual intensity eyeshadow palette on sunday, so unsure of whether I'll be able to get this if it's le, so hoping it's not.
