YSL Ombre 5 Lumieres Palette #13

While checking out YSL's spring look I swatched the new Ombre 5 Lumieres.  I am glad I did not order this sight unseen.  It felt chalky and the pigmentation was not so great.  The colors were kinda loud, but I have been seeing some of that for Spring 2012.  I felt bad as I totally messed up the display.  Normally you can swatch things and they still look in place.  This literally crumbled and flaked away as I swatched!   I also checked out the new Rouge Volupte perle's.  They were pretty, but too bright.  Also in the pic was one of the new golden glosses.  It was the peach looking one. It was bright, but not as bright as it photographed. Here are a few pics.

I swatched YSL's new green.  I initially thought it was very similar to Juleps leah, but I was so wrong.  It is actually closer to Dior's waterlily!  Here are some bad pics.  The YSL is darker than Dior and more grass green like.  It also has very fine green shimmer when you look closely. The YSL is such a cool color, but I must resist.  PLEASE excuse my poorly taken care of nails.  This was a quick swatch.  Waterlily on pointer finger, YSL middle, leah on ring finger.  These do look a bit different IRL , but close.
