YSL Facebook Palette (Swatches, Review & Face of the Day)

31 July 2012

A little while ago I blogged about the imminent launch of the YSL Devoted to Fans Facebook Palette (click here to read my post); the palette has now been launched so let’s have a closer look at it!

This is an exclusive edition of the YSL Pure Chromatics palette, available only to YSL’s Facebook fans. I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of the palette at the Facebook Head Office in London, but unfortunately I got very ill with tonsillitis a couple of days before the launch and couldn’t make it to London. Despite all that, the lovely Liz at YSL was kind enough to send me one of the palettes to try; needless to say I was over the moon with excitement and couldn’t wait to share my thoughts with you guys.

My firsts words when I saw the palette were: ‘Ysis Likes this’ :) The palette looks striking and it’s definitely one of a kind. They are not the most pigmented eyeshadows I’ve ever tried, but you can build up the colour. The cool thing about them is you can wear them dry or wet, which will give you a pearl finish and a long-lasting lustrous glaze finish respectively.

The next challenge was to try and create a wearable makeup look using all 4 shades on the palette; at first I wanted a blue base to go with a slightly smokey eye, but I finally settled for a purple base with a defined smokey blue bottom lash-line. Here’s what I came up with:

Overall, I think the colours worked really well together. I used the lighter shade as a highlighter on the brow bone, the darker shade on the crease, the blue shade to line my lower lash-line and the purple shade as a base.

What do you think? If you would like to see a Step-by-Step tutorial on how to create this look leave a comment below or tweet me at @lebeautygirl :)

    I wasn’t initially convinced with this palette but seeing them on you I love them, They seem like a mash of colours on the pallette but look really good on you!

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
