Packaging
The box is done in the classy YSL style. Here we have a paper box with black lettering, description and the list of ingredients.
The palette is a piece of art. Honestly, it was the palette design that hooked me at first. It was impossible to walk by the eyeshadows placed in such casing. 😂
The top lid is made of rubber iridescent material. It has the YSL logo in the middle.
Inside the palette houses a big mirror all sized to the palette top lid. It’s all covered with gold, so luxurious. :)
In fact, the palette isn’t so big, you know. I’d seen the pictures of it before and used to think it would be bigger. But in life, it’s compact. I appreciate it because I love when my vanity table isn’t cluttered. :)
Inside there is also a dual-sided brush with a flat and thin brush at one end and a more furry one at another. In my book, this brush will be a helper while traveling, however, I haven’t tested it out myself yet.
Eyeshadow
The palette offers 6 shades. In fact, they are all barely pigmented but they still sparkle like there’s no tomorrow.
1. The lightest shade has a sheer light base and fair chunky glitter. :)
2. Golden base and the same glitter.
3. Bronze shade with glitter.
4. Lilac, my favorite shade. It isn’t the best shade in the palette but I just love it, so now you know why I actually bought this palette. This one is also shimmering.
5. Pink- It looks like MAC Apricot shade. I guess that the last two shades are for cheeks and lips. They offer a semi-sheer sparkle.
6. Salmon-pink hue- I don’t rave about it because it’s shimmer-less and I hardly ever use it to refresh the inner corners of my eyes.
Use
The shimmer here is top notch! I use it for all my makeups, daytime and evening. I just pat it with my finger. It all depends on the shades you use for your makeup. But for my daytime looks, I prefer the lightest shade.
It falls out throughout the day, so I always prime beforehand.
For my evening makeup, I use a setting spray to ensure the best hold.

Defocus for the better understanding of the sparkling finish
In general, I love this palette but I don’t use it every day.
It’s useless as a basic palette. It’s more for a variety and accenting. And yeah, using a high-end palette is always enjoyable. :)
Thanks for your attention! 😊
