The allure of a limited-edition makeup palette is undeniable. The promise of exclusive shades, exquisite textures, and often, a touch of luxury that transcends mere cosmetics, is a siren song to many beauty enthusiasts. This was precisely the case when I, despite a self-imposed spending ban, succumbed to the siren call of the YSL Palette Lumiere de Jour from their Spring 2015 collection. Accompanied by the lovely Alice (whose impeccable taste I often rely upon!), I found myself captivated by this little jewel of a palette, a testament to YSL's mastery of both colour and packaging. This review delves deep into the experience of owning and using the YSL Lumiere de Jour, exploring its performance, its place within the broader YSL makeup landscape (including other notable offerings like the YSL 100 stora dolls, YSL stora dolls, YSL Couture Palette, and the various YSL eyeshadow palettes), and ultimately, whether it justifies its status as a coveted collectible.
The first thing that strikes you about the YSL Palette Lumiere de Jour is its packaging. It's undeniably YSL. The sleek, sophisticated case, reminiscent of a miniature YSL couture mini clutch or even a YSL mini clutch palette, is a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury. The weighty feel, the smooth, almost buttery texture of the casing, and the subtle click of the closure all contribute to a sense of opulence. It's the kind of packaging that you want to display on your vanity, a miniature work of art that elevates the everyday act of applying makeup. This is a recurring theme throughout the YSL makeup line, a consistent commitment to elevating the mundane into something special. Think of the similarly luxurious packaging of other YSL eyeshadow palettes and makeup palettes, or even the more playful, yet still high-quality packaging of the YSL 100 stora dolls (although admittedly a different product category entirely). The YSL Lumiere de Jour palette fits seamlessly into this lineage of exquisite presentation.
Beyond the stunning exterior, the true test lies within the palette itself. The Lumiere de Jour palette boasted a curated selection of shades designed to capture the essence of spring. The colours were a delicate balance of soft pastels and subtly shimmering neutrals, perfectly suited for creating both natural and more dramatic looks. The texture of the eyeshadows was exceptionally smooth and buttery, blending seamlessly onto the eyelids without any noticeable fallout. This is a hallmark of high-quality eyeshadows, and the YSL Lumiere de Jour certainly delivered in this regard. Many YSL eyeshadow palettes are known for this luxurious texture, and the Lumiere de Jour was no exception. The pigmentation was also impressive, with even the lighter shades providing a noticeable payoff with minimal layering. This is a crucial aspect of eyeshadow performance, especially for lighter shades which can often appear sheer and lack impact.
