YSL Ombres 5 Lumieres No 11 Swatches and Review

This palette is from YSL's AW11 collection that has been out since August, but I only discovered it recently, and let me tell you, IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. I've not come across a palette with such gorgeous colours- Emerald Green, Aubergine, Light Teal, Lilac and Vibrant Purple.

The palette is called is meant to be reminiscent of a "Midnight Garden" full of Orchids and Lillies shimmering in the light of a full moon...

The colours swatched. They are very true to pan and glide on easily. Over a primer, they last all day without fading or smudging. The Emerald Green and Aubergine have a slight shimmer and the others are quite matte.



One thing that's incredible about this palette is the packaging:

It's gold, gaudy and OTT- just how I like it! Can you see the reflection of a power point? IT'S THAT SHINY!!



A FOTD post is on the way once I get this lipstick:

Itty Bitty MAC Haul

On my way home from work the other day (after an impromptu meeting up with Shopping Intervention), I sneakily snuck into MAC and picked up two products I’ve been lemming for!


The first item is the eyeshadow “Woodwinked”. I put the question out on Twitter “What are your top 5 favourite MAC eyeshadows” and most, if not all, included Woodwinked. Naturally I had to get it!

Woodwinked is a gorgeous antique goldish-brown veluxe pearl shadow that looks amazing on it’s own as a colour wash or blended with other neutrals. I’ve been wearing this shadow daily with brown eyeliner and mascara. It also provides the perfect amount of shimmer without looking too “glitzy”.

The second product I purchased is a lipstick in “Angel”. Apparently this is what Kim Kardashian wears and if it’s good enough for Kim… it’s damn good enough for me!

Angel is a stunning neutral light pink frost lippie that works fantastically with bold eyes. It’s a dream to apply with a creamy, smooth texture jam packed with moisturisers. And it’s oh so pretty!

Angel Lipstick and Woodwinked Eyeshadow

Angel Left, Woodwinked Right

I highly recommend both of the products as a staple in everyone’s kit. They are fantastic neutral colours that will fit quite snuggly amongst a rainbow of hues.

Woodwinked Eyeshadow RRP $33

Angel Lipstick $36

Available at MAC Online and selected department stores.
