YSL Holiday 2009 Collection

Ok we are winding down the Holiday coverage, this is the last collection that I have to look at. I am getting a bit overwhelmed with all the Holiday products that have been released and while I have had a great time looking at all the pretty new colors and palettes, I am really looking forward to Spring since that is my favorite time of the year. However, I am not done yet and am still in Holiday mode. Today, we are looing at the newest products from YSL. Their Holiday beauty look calls for both intense eye makeup and red lipstick. This is another collection that will not be among the most wearable of looks. "YSL invites you to experience extreme elegance with our Holiday Look Collection. The collection is a tribute to ultimate sophistication, featuring sensual textures and beautiful effects".

Here it is...

Teint Resist Long Wear Transfer Resistant Foundation - Yves Saint Laurent's new foundation, Tenit Resist, guarentees unfailing wear and radiance for up to 14 hours.

The small size, the mirror on top of the cap, and the ultra-soft powder puff allow for a precise application and easy touch-ups all day long. The ultra-fine powder provides a luminous and natural makeup result, and the shimmering soft pink shade, #11 Sparkling Beige, enlivens the cheekbones and creates a sensuous and subtle shimmer on the collarbones for the Holiday season.

I like both the eye and lip makeup featured in the promo pic but I don't know that I would do them both at the same time. So the two major items that I want from this collection are the Fard a Levres Lipstick in #150 Sublime Red and the Eye Shadow duo in #1 Heavenly Beige - Astral Brown.

Wow...I am done with my Holiday posts...time for Spring!
