FRANCE. Yves Saint Laurent Parfums has created four new beauty products for a themed end-of-year event called “In The Spotlight”. The collection will be available in travel retail from 16 October.
The products are said to be ideal for the party season. In addition to the novelties, there are new shades of existing items Mini Touche Blush, Eyeliner Moiré, Golden Gloss, Rouge Pure lipstick and La Laque nail polish.
The first new item, Éclat de Givre eye shadow, delivers a cooling sensation on application, while changing its texture from a loose powder to a creamy shadow, complete with metallic highlights. The result, according to YSL, is a long-lasting, luminous veil of colour.
Éclat de Givre is available in three shades: White Frost, Bronze Frost and Copper Frost. The recommended travel retail price point is €18.90.
Described as an exclusive couture accessory, YSL’s new Fashion Bracelet (above) combines make-up and jewellery. It is a gold/crystal compact with a velvet strap, designed to be worn on the wrist, or hooked around a handbag or belt.
Inside is an integral mirror, plus a circle of make-up, divided into three. The segments contain an eye shadow, a lipstick and a lip gloss. All three products can be applied with a brush or fingertip, making them ideal for on-the-go application and touch-ups.
The Fashion Bracelet is a limited edition and will be priced at €37.60 in travel retail.
Next is Éclat D’Or, a limited edition face and body highlighter. Coloured a Champagne shade of gold, the product is designed to deliver a shimmering, iridescent veil to the décolleté, shoulders, arms, cheekbones and arches beneath the eyebrows. It is fragranced with the scent of Cinéma, YSL’s latest feminine fragrance.
Éclat D’Or is presented in a clear 30ml tube and is priced at €25.80 in travel retail.
Completing the collection is the Star Glow Gold Celebration Palette (right), which offers a new harmony of sophisticated, easy-to-combine shades for glamorous make-up on the go.
The limited edition compact contains two eye shadows, plus a shimmering White Light powder embossed with the signature YSL Cassandra logo.
Flanking these shadows are four shades of lipstick, and four shades of gloss. The palette also features an integral mirror and an applicator brush.
The recommended travel retail price for the Star Glow Gold Celebration Palette is €43.20.
