The Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Couture Palette

June 3, 2014Beauty, Sponsored

This post is produced in partnership with YSL Beauté, who I am partnering with for Summer 2014. All views and opinions are my own.

Yves Saint Laurent Beauté Couture Palette, £42.

Beauty, to me, has always been usurped by a fascination into the sartorial unknown. Where my friends were fastidiously experimenting with makeup and dipping fingers into palette samples at Boots, I sketched wedding dresses, picked apart nomenclature of clothing and plotted my future handbag collection.

However over time, that has completely changed and my curiosity into the world of beauty has truly blossomed. I was thrilled to be invited to the YSL Beauté office in London – seriously, someone pinch me that I get to do this! – to discover their summer campaign and preview some new launches.

This summer sees YSL Beauté adopt a style-forward approach to their new releases and overall campaign and I was kindly invited to be involved in an exciting digital-led campaign that launches soon. Last week I previewed their upcoming Couture Collection and got to play around with the products first-hand.

The Couture Palette is a ready-to-wear five-colour palette. At the deft hand of leading European make-up artist Fred Letailleur, I watched in awe as my face was totally transformed. Letailleur believes the palette ‘captures the very essence of Yves Saint Laurent’. Housed in a high-shine palette, it is expectedly beautiful, breathtakingly so. And like I touched upon earlier, the entire collection is geared to take a style-forward approach. Eyes are styled by blending the timeless design renowned of the fashion house together with chic, graphic lines, perfect proportions and a new-gen formula.

The idea is that there is a palette for everyone – there are 13 palettes in total – that take you from day to night and seamlessly complement any outfit.

Fred matched me to Palette 3, a gold and pink laden neutrals palette that I honestly can’t stop using. I’m an avid Touche Éclat, Rouge Volupte and Baby Doll Mascara girl already, but this is honestly next-level good for the eyes.

The new formula is ultra-lightweight, blends effortlessly and lasts all day, unlike my previous shadow choices. The palettes all contain a specified base shade, highlighter, centre shade and extra two shades that can be used to deepen, define and smoke out your look (y’know, for night). Fred also finally taught me how to use my Baby Doll Kiss & Blush on my cheeks — hallelujah!

I’m really impressed by this palette and the Couture Collection, and I honestly can’t wait to chat more about the digital campaign with you all. Stay tuned… Oh, and the palettes are out now, available at Selfridges in a limited edition casing or at any large YSL Beauté counter!

Instagram post 2195328500792311413_30616375 We had SO much fun at FriendsFest on Thursday. As I've been asked 19385739 times, it wasn't a press event, it's a public thing and we paid for tickets! I think FriendsFestive is in Shoreditch until 21st December and I totally recommend going! PS. Definitely want to paint at least one of my doors purple... 😏 Swipe to see our makeshift Christmas décor, the last in this house before we move... #DaisybutterAtHome
Instagram post 2194268191654680261_30616375 [ A D ☕ ] Hello Sundaze ✨ When the house is emptying but you still gotta get that décor right 😏 Thrilled with my new print additions from @juniqeartshop, they're adding so much warmth to a chilly December, and, to a basically empty bedroom. You can get 30% off orders over £29 until next Sunday using my code MICHELLE30 ☺️ #juniqe #juniqehome

Instagram post 2193084553068073079_30616375 Central Perk vibes 😏✨ Had the best time with my brother and sister at FriendsFest yesterday! We spend all of our time watching the episodes on repeat (like any self-respecting millennial) and it was incredible to see the sets and goof around together for a few hours, dressed like Rachel Green with my Gucci bag (“it's spelled like Gucky, which can be confusing”). Except from when a seven-year-old PUSHED ME OVER by Joey's Barcalounger. Fun fact: I used that copy of Vogue in my dissertation! #FriendsFestive
Instagram post 2192254609316598078_30616375 I finished reading this over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The Flat Share is a chick lit with a twist; I really enjoyed the sub-plots and clever character building throughout, but for some reason didn't adore the book. Beady-eyed readers who also follow me on Goodreads will know I rated it three stars which seems harsh, but simply means I enjoyed the book but wouldn't recommend it to a general audience and I wouldn't reread it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you read this book yet? #DaisybutterReads
Instagram post 2191316238771439516_30616375 “We can go drivin' in, on my scooter... Uh, you know, just riding in London...” 🎶. L O N D O N · G I R L :: Absolutely thrilled to share this masterpiece shot by @sianshoots. The moment I heard @taylorswift 'London Boy', I knew I wanted to capture it all, dressed in my @stellamccartney × Taylor look. I'm not from London and nor do I live there; but some of the best chapters of my life began here. My first writing job, falling in love, spontaneously buying designer bags on Bond Street, cab rides with friends in a drunken mess, food tours with my girls, hours-long walks, all amidst a grey drizzly haze. It all happened, and happens, here. London, you're so special. P.S. I have categorically never watched rugby in a pub with his mates 😂 ph. @sianshoots
