YSL 5 Colour Harmony Eyes in #2: Indian Pink

Today is goldies oldies day...not that it is such an old product, but it has been launched last autumn. In cosmetic time that would be at least 3 years...

This was one of the products I did not dare to swatch for a loooong time. I found it to be too pretty and precious. Thanks to blogging about cosmetics, I overcame my fear of actually using my cosmetics, LOL, so I am glad to show you my swatches.

Anyway, since Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner of the Academy Awards, I would love to dedicate my review on a colour selection named Indian Pink. The colours, indeed, have an Indian feel to it. I have never been to India before, but I have seen some Bollywood films and I would say that the purples and pinks would be so like the female heroines that you would see in the films.

Yves Saint Laurent 5 Colour Harmony palette for eyes in 2, Indian Pink, gives a lovely palette of purple and pink colours. I picked the pink version, because I was mesmerized by the purple shades that were in there. I discovered such a unique purple colour that I HAD to buy it. Fortunately, there was a 20% discount on the palette. It was still expensive though, 40 euros.

LOL, the POW thing in the mirror is the reflection of my sweater I was wearing that day.

The colours are a lovely bend of purples and pinks. I am absolutely in love with the left side of the palette. The shimmer of the purples is so unique.



Mmm, I am not too happy about my camera lately. It zooms in on a certain side of the swatches, and leaves the other side slightly blurry. Anyway, You can see how lovely and unique this set of purples and pinks are.


I have found some reviews of the other colours as well: Yummiebites reviews the 04 Lilac Sky; Beauty Anonymous has done a fab review on the 05 Riviera; and Karlasugar swatched them all!
So, this was your quicky review on the YSL 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes in Indian Pink: short but sweet.

I hope you will all have a fabulous week! March is on the way...and I hope sping will show its head around here very soon....I need lovely weather, like now!
