YSL Spring 14′ Volumpte Rouge plus The nail polish mystery.

 

Hi everyone! How’s the week been for you so far? I’ve just been enjoying the weather, I think the rest of the week will entail a lot of duck feeding and park visits. Recently I’ve been in such a summery mood and loving having fresh flowers all over the flat. I have also dug out last years June Vogue (does anyone else do that? #hoarding.) it’s really got me anticipating summer. 

 

I don’t think I really need to go into to much detail in this post, the quality of these is that of all YSL lipsticks creamy, amazing color pay off, beautiful packaging etc etc these are just in the Spring Collection and as soon as the testers hit the back of my hand I was kicking my self for even looking. The first one pictured is “32 Jealous Coral” and the slightly more vibrant on the right is “33 Pink Neillia”  GORGEOUS!

 

I haven’t bothered to fake tan this week and they look really nice on how ever I know as soon as I darken up they will pop out even more, don’t you just love a bit of fake bake? urgh I do I do, so very much. So any way I won’t ramble on to much but if you think money can’t buy love/happiness you obviously haven’t seen these yet. 

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note I have a new favourite nail polish. It’s Loreals Color Riche in “French Riviera”. You can’t really see in the picture that it has a slight iridescent shine to it but it does and its beautiful *admires nails* sigh. 

 

 

 

 

Who else has broken down and bought any of YSL’s spring collection?,

Glitter or Litter L’Oreal Lumi Magique and Les Blancs Lemon Meringue

Oh L’Oreal what is it about your packaging that pulls me in every time… your nail polishes are so adored by my makeup drawers it only seemed fair to add another into the ranks and the primer? Hows a girl supposed to refuse something that shines on the back of her hand like crushed pearls? Well, she doesn’t. She buys it and blogs about it. So now it’s been tried and tested  do i still feel the same?

I tried this primer on the back on my hand the other day and was fixated, it’s pearlescent glow had me around the L’Oreal stand like a magpie. I have worn this a couple of different ways now – as a primer and as a highlighter it’s got to be said it works well as both although i found that the pearlescent effect did fade and turn into more of a “dew” when used as a highlighter but still just as pretty. When used as a base it just gave my whole face this well rested beam like a “lit from within” glow without even a hint of glitter or sparkle.

Lemon meringue is a color from the new “Les Blancs” collection. I can’t figure out if it is the most delicate white yellow ever, or if i just look like I have smokers nail. With fake tan admittedly everything is well and as usual the color riche formula does not disappoint, i really like the peachy shade so i might give it a go next. Definitely a summer time polish!

How do you guys feel about these?
