YSL Spring 2010 Collection

It's hard to believe that we're already looking at the Spring makeup collections but they're here! While you sip the winter blue's away in this morning's cup of hot chocolate, take a moment to look at Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2010 makeup collection.

This season the YSL woman represents allure and passion. She is Faubourg St Honoré chic, an enigma of contrasts: intimate, sensual and decadent. She is forever... PARIS.

Limited Edition Y-Mail Complexion Palette

The star of this collection, in my opinion, is the new and totally limited edition face palette. A collector's item for sure, it was inspired by the YSL Y-MAIL Handbag Collection and comes in its very own YSL “handbag”. Très chic!

Available in two shades: #1 highlights the face with three light pearly shades and #2 highlights the complexion with three luminous silky shades. I'm personally lemming after #2.

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my face...

Ombres 5 Lumières (5 Colour Eyeshadow)

A new interpretation of the Yves Saint Laurent palette, this baby contains four matte, satiny or iridescent eyeshadow shades, all coordinated around a single colour theme.

Ombres Duolumières (Eyeshadow Duo)

A reflection of Yves Saint Laurent’s spirit, the colours are both luminous and radiant. The duos contain soft powders that are vibrant in color and elegant in spirit. There are two new shades for spring, #25 Turquoise Blue - Hazy Violet, and #27 Golden Pink - Precious Bronze (both pictured in the insets)

Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Lipstick

I purchased my first YSL Rouge Volupté lipstick during their first ever Family and Friends event last month. I foresee at least two more purchases from their Spring 2010 as well ;). The luxurious and lush outer packaging reveals a creamy lipstick that leaves your lips feeling soft yet glossy and irresistible. The gold metallic case contains a mirror on top for quick and easy touch ups throughout the day and an intricate carving of the Yves Saint Laurent logo to reveal the shade. There are four new shades in the spring collection: #27 Rose Paris, #28 Beaubourb Brown, #29 Opera Rose (my fave), #30 Faubourg Peach (another fave)

Gloss Volupté Sheer Gloss Stick

YSL's first gloss stick combines the femininity and sensuality of a lipstick with the comfort and shine of a gloss. I really want to test out this gloss stick because I'm a product of the 90s and gloss is my middle name! YSL's colorshine complex and Candellila resin result in a transparent, non sticky shine and fluid silicones and melting microcrystalline waxes, leaves lips feeling silky. Pomegranate extract and a delicate Mango fragrance provide a delicious touch of freshness. Available in 4 new transparent, mouth-watering shades for spring.

Golden Gloss Shimmering Lip Gloss

The gloss forms a mirror-effect on the lips which sparkles with mother-of-pearl. A complex of nourishing oils (Nigelle and Cameline Oils) protects the lips while providing total comfort. Luxurious is the game as this gloss contains 0,2‰ of 24 carats gold!

La Laque Long Lasting Nail Lacquer

A nail lacquer that is both elegant and practical in its elongated glass bottle. Available in two soft new limited edition shades.

Mascara Singulier Exaggerated Lashes Dramatic Styling

A unique innovation by Yves Saint Laurent, the mascara brush combines the technology of a traditional brush with the structure of a moulded brush, to increase the performance of the formula. Volumizing micro-spheres thicken the lashes, with Pro-vitamin B5 to protect, nourish, and reinforce of the lashes’ structure. Like hair extensions, nylon micro-fibres extend the lashes. A high performance “curling wax” helps style the lashes for an ideal curve.

Teint Resist Long Wear Transfer Resistant Foundation

The latest foundation to join the YSL family, Teint Resist guarantees unfailing wear and radiance for up to 14 hours. I haven't tried it out yet but I'm curious to see if it really holds its promise to 14 hour wear. If they have a shade dark enough for me that is...

Skin is promised to feel supple and silky-smooth from the morning through to night. Teint Resist gives the guarantee of an even, smooth and comfortable complexion hour after hour, giving you the confidence to put your best face forward in every circumstance.
