Well, the flagship Sephora store in Hollywood had a few of the items. As suspected, the quint is a repromote (Indian Pink/#2).
Initially I'd decided to pass on the cream blushes, because I have oily skin and creams never do well for me. But I got to play in them recently, and I have to say, YSL has changed my mind. It's a 'dry' cream... more like a gel pigment. It sets as pure color and does not move, even on my oily skin.
I ended up with the Cream Blush in Praline...
It looks like a peachy brown... but it swatches more of a brownish pink, which is perfect for my skintone:
This is the only thing that I really liked from the collection. All of the glosses looked pretty pedestrian to me. There is a fuchsia version of this blush, as well as a cool pink. I have enough fuchsia EVERYTHING, and the cool pink went a little ashy on me. I imagine it would look stunning on fairer skintones.
If you're going to get anything from this collection, take a good look at the cream blushes. I think they're worth taking home.
The packaging is cute lol. The color is nice though. Nice review.
ReplyDeleteThanks. lol All that drama looking for this collection and I only liked ONE thing.
ReplyDeleteI had initially skipped on this collection too, but you made me want to go and take a second look at the blushes! I love YSL cosmetics, but seeing as these were all repromotes, I passed.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the cool pink one! And the Praline one looks beautiful!
