Today and the next two days will be all holiday collections, I want to finish up all of my personal holiday beauty shopping within the next week and I want to finalize my Most Wanted List within the next few days. At this point in the season, I will be doing all of my shopping online as I refuse to go near a mall after Thanksgiving unless I am forced to. I am sure that I will be forced to a few more times but I will try to stay away as much as possible...
Today we are looking at the new YSL holiday collection, Parisian Night is another Paris-inspired collection for the holidays and I am as excited about this one as I was to read about the Guerlain color collection. I have always loved Paris and I am dying to visit that city again, I have to live a bit through French beauty lines right now until I finish graduate school. My last night of class before the Thanksgiving vacation is tonight and I am ready for a mental trip to Paris to relax before I get my load of homework to do over the short break.
YSL has chosen French model Lindsey Wixon as the new face of this collection and she fits the brand's vision for this glittering holiday season. "Her eyes sparkle with a romantic glow, her complexion simmers with passionate pink. Her lips smile with the colour of a French kiss.", states the YSL website to describe the Parisian Nights collection.
YSL's Paris-inspired holiday collection!

I love this collection! YSL is not a brand that I typically purchase most of my makeup items from but I love these products and shades and now I think that I need to try more color products from this company. My favorite piece of the collection is the limited edition blush duo, this product contains two great pink shades and I must add this to my pink blush collection. I can use either of these shades alones or mix them together to create a third shade, I need to order this product from Sephora and I will use it all throughout the year.
There are so many pretty lip shades in the Parisian Night collection, I haven't tried any of these lipsticks or glosses and I think they could become some of my new favorites. I want all three pinks in the Vernis a Levres products, the deeper pinks I can wear in the winter months and then the pale shade will take me right into the spring and summer months. I love two shades of the Rouge Volupte Shine, both of the pinks shades will be part of spring lip rotation. The neutral pink hue will be able to be worn all year long and I would consider purchasing a back up if this shade is limited edition, I find it very hard to find the perfect neutral pink cream lipstick or gloss and I am always on the hunt for new shades. The Rouge Pur Couture lipstick shades will round out my lipstick obsession with this collection, I love the red and rose shades and both of these will become new additions to my collection. I always love a new red shade and the rose has the potential to be a cool weather neutral shade for me. I have a nice amount of lip shades to investigate from this collection and I always need to grow my lipstick collection...
The last pieces that I want from the Parisian Night collection is all three of the three new nail polish shades. I would wear these shades during the holidays but I also think they will look great as pedicures during the summer too.
This collection from YSL is one of my top five of this season and I have a nice amount of shopping to do from it. All of these pink hues will work now and then many of them will appear in my makeup looks as we head toward the spring and summer months.
