The inspiration for Yves Saint Laurent's Holiday 2014 Collection is the "invincible spirit of the Yves Saint Laurent woman". Lid in gold with splashes of simple black, smokey brown, and daring red, this holiday range is named "Wildly Gold" collection. Today I have the star of the collection to swatch and review for you, so read more about the Wildly Gold Complete Makeup Palette ($100 CAD), click.......
YSL Wildly Gold Palette |
Packaging:
Hands down the classiest palette I've laid eyes upon, the YSL Wildly Gold Palette comes in a cheque-book sized black leather case embossed with gorgeous gold leopard prints. The palette is kept shut with an elastic tie, attached with a black satin tassel.
On the inside, you will find a large mirror on one flap and four shadows, one blush, and two lip colors on the other. The palette also includes three travel-sized brushes: one sponge-tip shadow applicator, one lip brush, and one blush brush.

Formulation:
Couture Eyeshadows: The palette comes with four shimmery/sparkly shadows. There is a shimmery white, a cool tone shimmery gold, a metallic bronze, and a metallic dark grey with silver sparkles. Pigmentation for all four is great and the texture is nice and smooth despite the sparkles.
Blush: The blush in this kit is a lovely pale baby pink with subtle shimmers. It's a classic and easy-to-wear baby doll color, flattering for every skin tone.
Lip Colors: The two lip colors are a light pink Rouge Volupté Sheer Candy and a warm pinkish red Rouge Pur Couture lipstick. Both colors are semi-sheer but very buildable.
