YSL Spring Look

YSL lip products are pretty magical in their own little way. YSL Rouge Volupte 31 32I think they’re my favourite brand to wear, as they are identical to butter when you swatch them on the back of your hand. So smooth. The signature champagne-like fragrance is incredible and the packaging is even better. YSL Spring 2014As I said over the weekend, YSL and Dior are the epitome of make-up to me — in my books. They simply know what they’re doing when it comes to make-up.

I realize that my reviews for both spring collections went up later than I’d usually like to have them given the fact they are both Limited Edition. I assure you that won’t happen in the future since I do not plan to move to another country again, any time soon. ;)

YSL-Spring-2014I mainly like to stick with ‘easy-to-wear’ make-up for my signature look, as quite honestly I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing with make-up.

YSL-Flower-CrushAlways trial and error, but I have fun playing around with it and seeing what I can come up with. If all else fails, I watch YouTube videos on make-up tips.YSL-Jealous-Coral

YSL-Spring-Lip-ColoursThe two colours I received from the Spring Collection is Jealous Coral (left) and Fuchsia Storm (right). They are light, creamy and smooth — and best of all it’s not drying on my lips. I’m a lip-licker and I cannot stand when products dry them out.

YSL-Spring-Collection-2014If you’re one who likes wearing a bit of colour on the lips, these are a must try! Alfie is not used to seeing me so dressed up.

Can’t forget the nail polishes! A fun way to add some colour and statement.

The epitome of makeup lines

Dior and YSL are pretty much the epitome of make-up to me. I’ve often walked passed the counters at Holt Renfrew, just wishing I could have the entire collections sitting on my own dresser at home. I’ve been lucky enough to work with both companies in the past year a few times so I consider myself incredibly lucky.

I still love playing with make-up, even if I don’t plan to leave the house. I love to experiment at home and I’ve been using make up from both the spring lines of Dior (see my Dior Spring Look) and YSL.

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2014 collection

Today I’m heading out to San Francisco to see my old co-op student we had in the summer of 2012. Remember stylish Patrick, my fro-yo and swing-dancing buddy? He’s on a work term here, and I’m so excited to browse the big city with him! I’ll definitely report back on Monday on the sights of the city.

The spring collections just keep popping up like fresh flowers blooming on an April morning. How’s that for the cheesiest opening line, ever? Totally not me, but I thought it was hilarious when I thought of it — and just had to start my post with it.YSL Spring 2014 Collection

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2014 Collection has a ton of great picks out. Look at the fresh corals and pinks they’ve released back in January when I was busy packing up our lives to move across the continent to beautiful California.
