YVES SAINT LAURENT- COUTURE PALETTE COLLECTION

Eyeshadows are one of the items that I always tend to avoid when applying my make-up. However, lately I've been trying to be more creative when it comes to my make-up looks. I recently came across the new YSL couture palettes, which is a collection featuring 8 different palettes, each composed of 5 colours inspired by YSL couture .

Of course, Yves Saint Laurent is far from cheap when it comes to price, so the palette that I chose to purchase was 05 - Surrealiste. It features a range of purple and lilac shades, with a pale pink to highlight. It's a purple lovers dream! All of the colours are shimmery so if you are not a fan of glitter then I wouldn't recommend it! It is slightly annoying that there is not even one matte shade, however I feel that the colours work well with a shimmer to them, and they are intended to be worn together. 

The formula of these shadows is rather impressive. The recently released palettes feature highly pigmented colour with a smooth and soft buttery texture. When applied, there is virtually no fall-out which is amazing as it is one of the reasons I tend to steer away from eye shadows. The colour is really long lasting too, allowing you to wear it from day to night. 

I love that you can wear all of the shades together or alone, my personal favourite is the shade on the bottom right of the palette. I wear this along with my MAC pencil eyeliner in 'smolder' along my waterline and 'They're Real' mascara from Benefit Cosmetics for an effortlessly glam look.

If you are looking to invest in some really good quality eyeshadows, then I would recommend taking a look at this collection. They have a range of colours available online for £39.50 from Debenhams . Although this is quite pricey, if you are a fan of eyeshadow then you will love them.
