For those who don't know, Thing of Beauty is dedicated to those sumptuous beauty bits that simply got me head over heels in an instant. I don't care for the price and I don't care for the availability – these beauty items surpass even the HG status for me. Last time, I've dedicated this special place to the L'Occitane Almond Concentrate and some other nice products from that Almond range. This time, it's my utmost pleasure to write about one of the most beautiful make-up bits from my favorite high-end brand. Yves Saint Laurent got to me during my high-school years. Secretly, I lusted after their perfumes and clothes. After that, make-up came and what make-up it was! YSL always had the most gorgeous packaging of all. Very, very glamorous but never kitsch. I have no idea how they do it but they flaunt so much glamour in your face and it never feels like it's over the top. YSL Lip Twins was my first make-up purchase from YSL and I still cherish it as if it was bought just yesterday. However, a new launch has got me seriously in a swoon mode. YSL Kiss & Blush is such a stunning piece of make-up, not only packaging-wise because it definitely is seriously badass. I'll be posting a review soon so you'll get all the deets, swatches and a glimpse of how it looks on me. I'll just take this opportunity to state how incredibly posh and lovely it is. The bottle is beautiful and reminds me a bit of perfume bottles . The crystal clear glass, the straight cut, the gold handle with the YSL logo – it's just too much for me to bare! The punchy color invites me as it's lush. Every single shade of Kiss & Blush is stunning and they all look to me like flower syrup all tucked in these pretty bottles. I have the shade Rouge Effrontte which is a juicy, plumpy cherry color and it's just amazing. I'm restraining myself from purchasing more hues but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to resist. This beaut is residing on my lips and cheeks for weeks now and I simply cannot get enough. This is pure luxury. It's a high-quality beauty product that oozes glamour. It's even scented like a luxe perfume. What can possibly be left to write in a review? Oh, don't mind me – I'm sure I'll find a way to write a new ode to this gem.
Ukoliko mozda niste vidjele ovu novu kategoriju postova, Utjelovljenje ljepote su rijeci namijenjene najljepsim beauty slasticama u koje sam se beznadezno zaljubila. Ovdje romanticiziram svojim nevidljivim perom o stvarcicama koje su ocaravajuce do te mjere da ne obracam paznju niti na cijenu, niti na dostupnost. Za mene doticni proizvodi prevazilaze cak i HG status. Prosli put sam paznju posvetila L'Occitane mlijecnom koncentratu, kao sto sam spomenula i par dodatnih proizvoda iz te linije. Ovog puta mi je zadovoljstvo posvetiti par rijeci jednoj od najljepsih kozmetickih stvarcica koja dolazi od meni najdrazeg high-end brenda. Yves Saint Laurent mi je zaokupljao misli jos tokom srednje skole kada sam mastala o njihovim krasnim parfemima i fantasticnoj odjeci. Nakon toga je dosla na red njihova kozmetika – ohoho, kakva je tek ovo kozmetika drage zene! YSL je oduvijek imao najljepsi dizajn. Izuzetno glamurozan no nikada ne prelazeci granicu dobrog ukusa. Ne znam kako im polazi za rukom no – svaki put istupe sa gotovo nepodnosljivo glamuroznim izdanjima i nikada ne dosade. YSL Lip Twins ruz i sjajilo je bio moj prvi izlet u YSL kozmeticke vode. Jos uvijek ga cuvam kao da sam ga nabavila tek jucer. Ipak, svjezi novitet ove kuce me nedavno u potpunosti bacio na koljena i nisam ga mogla propustiti. YSL Kiss & Blush je fascinantan komad kozmetike i moje divljenje nije usmjereno samo na pakovanje – unutar njega se nalazi ozbiljan igrac na beauty frontu. Uskoro cu napisati detaljnu recenziju ovog ruza i rumenila u jednoj krasnoj bocici. Tada cete vidjeti i swatcheve te kako djeluje na meni. Sada samo zelim iskoristiti priliku da uputim par komplimenata u njegovom smjeru. Pakovanje je fenomenalno i pomalo me podsjeca na parfemsku bocicu. Kristalno cisto staklo, ostre ivice, cep obojen u zlatnu boju uz YSL logo – ne znam na cemu bih prije odmorila oci! Jarka boja njezno ususkana u luksuzno pakovanje me opasno sarmira. Sve nijanse iz linije Kiss & Blush me podsjecaju na njezne cvijetne sirupe, glatko klateci se u svojim sjajnim ambalazama. Nijansa koju sam nabavila je Rouge Effrontée – socna boja tresnje koja djeluje fantasticno na usnama ali i obrazima. Jos uvijek se ustrucavam nabaviti jos nijansi ali ne znam do kada cu se uspjeti kontrolisati. Kiss & Blush je cisti luksuz te je visokovalitetan komad kozmetike iz kojeg naprosto isijava glamur. Cak ga krasi miris ‘skupog’ parfema. Sigurno se pitate sto li cu uopste moci napisati jos o njemu u recenziji koju sam najavila? Ah, bez brige – sigurno cu bez problema pronaci inspiraciju da napisem jos jednu odu ovom prefinjenom dragulju.
