I think it is very similar to last year's highlighter.  I swatched last year's and only didn't buy it because I couldn't justify the cost.  This year's feels the same and gives the same effect on the back of my hand, the only difference being that this is all one colour, whereas last year's was 3 very slightly different tones

This is what I've just found. Very pretty collection indeed, cold shades very different from the other ones ( Dior, Guerlain, Chanel etc.. )

Thank you very much rockin!

I have the Blanc Terriblement Highlighter and might skip this one now.

 

BT is really pretty but I think that I don`t need another one.

I got a sample of the Teint Eclat. It feels wonderful, but I'm worried it might be a little too "glowy" for me. My skin had a lot of shine to it by lunchtime, even in spots where it's normally dry... I got enough for a few applications, so I might play around using it with different primers.

The coverage was good and it seemed to last fairly well. I want to test it outside my office, which seems to have atmospheric conditions that kill all makeup. It's definitely on the glowy side, but it feels lovely and did a nice job of evening out my complexion without being very heavy. 

 

Today, I'm trying out Becca's new "Luminous Skin Colour", which works a little better for me. Loving this one!!

The holiday collection has been available here since last week and I caved and ordered the Polar Light Highlighter Palette.

I just could not resist....this kind of highlighters is soooo right up my alley  blush-anim-cl.gif

 

And,yes,it is similar to Blanc Terriblement but are not the same (trying to justify my purchase LOL)!

 

I really love both palettes bigheart.gif

I applied it just as a highlight on my cheeks.It is quite sheer.Just a beautiful shimmer/glow heart.gif

I have not tried to apply it all over my face yet.But I will definitely do!

 

It has a white base color with shimmer particles that sparkle slightly pink,blue and silver....it remembers me of very white snow

in the sun.

 

HTH!

I am very sorry for the poor quality but my cam can not catch the beautiful shimmer blush-anim-cl.gif

 

I swatched both...Polar Light and Lightscapade (Danse Collection):

 

 

 

 

Polar Light is more white-pink and has more sparkles than Lightscapade.

Thank you, Macina! Don't worry, I find highlighters especially hard to photograph! Your pic shows the effect nicely. pretty.gif

Thanks Macina- highlighters are subtle, but I can definitely see the difference. I'm not sure it's enough to warrant me purchasing the YSL one, when I still have so much Lightscapade left, but it's sooooo pretty.

I ordered some items from YSL.com today. I wanted the free day planner GWP. I got White Gold Amethyst Golden Gloss to substitute for MAC Boys Go Crazy Dazzleglass in the Guilty Passions Lavish Rose set. I prefer YSL's non-sticky formula and I feel like I get more for my money. I'm trying out my first YSL polish in Violet Baroque. I also got RPC Belle De Rose. I don't know how I missed this shade before. I searched for swatches and it's beautiful. I think maybe because it was never available for me to swatch at counters. I was going to get The Mats Rouge Rock at first, but changed my mind at the last minute. I still plan to get Rouge Rock and the other Mats, but later.

 

I wonder why it's taking so long for the holiday collection to launch in the US. I'm interested in the blue lipgloss and I think I want to try the nail polish.

That's a long time. Maybe Sandy has something to do with the delay. I just checked my account and the status says Open and Shipped. I haven't received a shipping email yet.
