YSL Rue de Babylone Blush Collector Palette

What better way to start my first post than to write about one of my favourite makeup items, blusher! I'm a total sucker for blush: from innocent pinks to vivid corals, blusher adds the final touch to any makeup ensemble, and although I probably don't need any more to add to my stash, I couldn't resist this piece from YSL.

This limited edition blush is inspired by the pulse of the Paris Rive Gauche streets and contains a heart shape center embossed with the YSL logo. The cutesy pink shade is a perfect match to pale skin tones like mine and the product glides on so nicely when applied. One tip though... don't go too heavy handed on the blush as it is very pigmented! Just a light hand will do (as I found out the hard way), and if you want more colour then gradually build up the intensity. I'm not sure if shops in the UK still sell these as they are limited edition, but I got mine at boots around a month ago after the sales lady completely sold me on how cute the packaging was... and the product itself of course, but it might be worth asking around anyway! Otherwise, you can buy it internationally here.
