YSL Summer 2014

YSL's summer collection is available now and with a typical colour palette you would expect for the summer months.

The pieces from the launch we are most excited about are the Baby doll kiss and blush. A dual purpose cheek and lip cream.
Containing an air whipped formula this gives a matte finish rather than a gloss finish with an almost gel like texture as you apply it.
 We found it sat better on the cheeks than it did the lips. On the cheeks it gives a matte stain finish that has a transparency to it and on the lips it gives a sheer matte wash. The colours are beautiful however if you have a dry lip this does cling in all the wrong places. Giver your lips a good exfoliation before application.

The bottle is a nail polish style and the wand is leaf shaped applicator with a flexible bead in the centre. We are not sure the flexible bead makes application any easier but the wand allows a small amount of colour to be added without over loading the cheek/lip. These smell phenomenal also.
There are 12 colours in total which are £27.00 each.

The eyeshadow palette in the collection is not for the natural colour lovers. It holds a selection of 5 shades each with a high shimmer finish. A mix of coral and blues housed in a mirrored compact with two application tools.

You can create many different looks with these shades. A soft coral eye which will make blue eyes pop or a smoky sultry midnight blue eye. Alternatively use the vibrant blues as a liner colour along the lower or upper lash line as a liner. Let us know how you would wear it.

This palette is £39.00

There are 2 shades of nail polish in the collection. One in a turquoise and one in a deep metallic blue. We tested the blue which was stunning. Gorgeous deep blue with a high shine. The nail polishes are £18.50 each. As always, two coats are needed for full impact.
