Hi guys. How are you? Today I want to review an eyeshadow duo from YSL. I purchased it from Sephora (store only) a few weeks back and I haven't been able to stop wearing it since then. It's in the shade 35 and the 2 colours are simply gorgeous!
Pretty ehh? The shimmery shade is called Caramel Tan and the matte one is Burnt Brown. This duo is from the YSL 2011 Summer Collection and it is absolutely gorgeous. The reason why I picked up this duo from the summer collection is because the colours for me are actually very autumn appropriate especially the shade in Burnt Brown.

Caramel Tan is like it's name, sort of very natural tanned colour with a hint of pink in it. It's shimmery but not glittery, and very pretty but this colour is not as pigmented so you really need to pack it on preferably with a flat eyeshadow brush because fluffier ones will not give you any pigmentation like Mac 217. You can also use your fingers that will do the trick as well. Burnt Brown is my fav colour out of these 2. I love a good red/warm toned brown, very flattering for my skintone. It is matte so perfect for the crease and outer corner. I am obsessed with it. This shade is actually very pigmented so a little goes a long way.
Both eyeshadows have zero fallout which is really nice. They are soft but not Urban Decay soft. They are long lasting with a primer of course as my eyelids are extremely oily but if you have normal eyelids then feel free to use them alone because they are not as soft which means long lasting and non creasing.
The sponge tip applicators that come with are actually not that bad especially the pointed one as it is great for applying shadows on the lower lash line as well as inner corner highlight.
This is such a pretty duo and I can see myself using it a lot this autumn and winter. The only down side is the packaging I guess. Don't get me wrong I love YSL packaging but I get so annoyed when my finger prints are all over the compact. I have to really clean it very time after using it otherwise it just doesn't look as pretty, or maybe I'm just being OCD with it. What can I say I love my makeup!
Simple yet stunning (I mean the eyeshadow. Don't worry I'm not that self obsessed lol), looks even more glamorous paired with a red lip. Don't you think?
That's it guys. These are my thoughts on the YSL Eyeshadow Duo in 35. I love it and I can't recommend it enough. Please follow my blog if you fancy and I'll see you all next time!
