A Passionate New Rouge for Velvet Lips

The stage is set for the Yves Saint Laurent woman, expressing herself through instinct. The curtain rises with a passionate lipstick.

From the Rouge Volupté line comes the highly anticipated new "Rouge Volupté Pearl," characterized by its sophisticated pearl shimmer. Two distinct pearl pigments blend exquisitely with the skin, creating lips that are plump and sensually lustrous.

The rich, creamy texture is as expected from a new YSL rouge. It melts upon contact with the lips, spreading with an intoxicating smoothness that glides on effortlessly. The treatment benefits are also exceptional. Carefully selected beauty ingredients soften and smooth the lips, while micro-particles of hyaluronic acid fill in fine lines, achieving glamorous and captivating lips.

A vibrant and alluring color palette ranges from pinks to purples, beiges, and corals. The luxurious packaging is equally appealing; simply holding it is sure to enhance your feminine allure.

Luxurious Limited Edition Items Inspired by YSL Fashion

Essential for the Yves Saint Laurent woman, who enjoys contrast and skillfully combines seemingly mismatched colors, is the "Manicure Duo." This two-color nail polish set perfectly replicates the lustrous sheen of YSL's colorful leather goods series, "Colorama."

The fashionable duo colors, offering a new interpretation of classic French manicures, come in three types. Rive Gauche is symbolized by orange & pink, haute couture by violet & gold, and sophistication by purple & aqua, all presented in vibrant, beautiful arrangements. The brush is also distinctive. Its flat, diagonally cut tip is ideal for French manicures, making both full application and tip detailing easy for anyone to achieve.

Next, the "Pêche Éclat Highlighter" is a highlighter palette inspired by the baroque-style accessories presented in YSL's 2010 Cruise collection. The finely woven passementerie (tassel) motif is truly luxurious. Furthermore, the motif is embossed on the packaging, giving it an accessory-like finish. The colors are a combination of beige, which imparts a deep radiance to the skin, and pink, which adds a subtle flush of color. A single application achieves a satin-like finish and a pearlescent glow.

Appearing in packaging adorned with the Cassandra logo, the "Délire" features the magical pen brush "Radiant Touch Corrector." This concealer, decorated with screen printing, is a multi-purpose base makeup item that can also function as a highlighter. It instantly corrects dullness and uneven skin tone. Through the effect of light, it brings transparency and dimension to the skin.
