YSL L’Homme Libre Review
I don’t review many men’s fragrances anymore. Most of the ones that come my way… smell like… engine fuel, citrus, and alcohol. Why even bother? But this one caught my attention. I knew it smelled good on first sniff, but every time I smelled it subsequently, I found myself thinking “mmm! That smells good!” So [...]

Holiday 2011: YSL
Take a look at a couple of products from YSL’s Holiday Collection. I might have been bored, except that the colours are perfection and really work together. The duo shown is No. 41 and has Silver Moire and Flannel Black ($52). The silver is sheer and just glimmers on the eyelid. The black is dense [...]
YSL Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils Long Wear Cream Liner Review
If you’re more of a cream eyeliner kind of gal, then YSL has you covered there too. Their cream eyeliner is just as good as the pen, except that this will give you more control. I personally prefer the finish I can get, but it takes more time, so I usually reach for the pen. [...]
YSL Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils Shocking Review
The first time I tried this eyeliner, I hated it. It smeared all over my lids for some reason. And then I tried it again on top of a primer, and it was a rich matte black that stayed put all day. I’ve loved it ever since. The liner does take some practice because of [...]

YSL Spring 2011 Makeup
YSL’s Spring 2011 makeup collection, called Boheme Libertine, offers a range of bright hues for the lips and cheeks along with a highlighting powder that gives subtle radiance to the face. Personally, my favourite products were the new Golden Glosses because they’re nice and bright but slightly sheer so that I don’t even have to [...]

Review: YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils
I feel like I try tons of mascaras a year, and after trying to many, I know that you can get a great mascara at the drugstore, but department store mascaras are almost always a sure bet. That being said, there’s always mascaras that are so over-hyped and then just don’t perform. YSL’s Mascara Volume [...]
