5 Color Couture Palette ($60.00) (New, Permanent)

Offering 5 eye shadows in a single case. COUTURE PALETTE is presented in a signature gold case stamped with the iconic Cassandre logo which opens to reveal bold black Couture lines, perfectly proportioned graphic design features and high-impact color associations – all nods to the legendary “Mondrian” dresses created by Mr. Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized fashion by imposing color as an element of affirmation and sophistication. We have developed a concept building on this heritage: Eyes like a work of art: Art of colors, Art of combinations, A design as a piece of art.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I just bought palette #9. I had the makeup artist from YSL at Neiman Marcus do my eyes with it. The colors are absolutely beautiful! The only drawback for me is that the color in the upper left and the color in the lower right are a bit too similar. I’m very fair skinned so on my eye, I can’t see a difference between the two. Very long wearing, very pigmented high quality, as you’d expect from YSL.

9, 10 & 11 look nice. i’ve only tried the four pan palette from YSL and ended up returning both of them that i tried. the pigmentation and lasting power were dismal. i wonder if this formula is better?

I have #1, #6, and #8, and they are just gorgeous! I was wary at first because I didn’t care for the YSL Pure Chromatics palettes, but these new Couture Palettes are absolutely wonderful! One thing I will caution people about: try to get to a counter for swatching or research swatches online if you aren’t nearby a counter, because there are a few palettes that differ quite a bit from the press photos (i.e. are much warmer, cooler, are predominately matte). I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these Christine!

Aww maaann! wished i hadn’t seen any of this; I am such a sucker for golds and bronzes and browns that my eyeshadow collection is reaching epic proportions. That said I’m looking forward to your reviews Christine. Sigh….. Might have to suck it in and bow to the inevitable…..

No idea! Honestly, I don’t typically get official info from YSL for upcoming launches, and I don’t know if any brand I’ve worked with actually sends out information about products getting discontinued–except when they replace old formula X with new formula Y. Half the time they won’t say then just because they’re trying to sell out remaining stock at full price, LOL.

So many goodies! Though after I swatched the last YSL LE I saw and found the pigmentation lousy, I like pigmentation loaded eyeshadows, I look forward to reviews of these. I guess I must also swatch the ones I like myself as well. I really like the look of 2, 5, 7, 9 and 11.
