Created by Sophia Grojsman and Sophie Labbé, Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne, is “a grand floral with woody structure, luminous even in its mystery.”

With top notes of cranberry and blackberry, a floral heart and base notes of patchouli, musk and sandalwood, Parisienne is a scent that hints of youth and freshness while still being sensual.

On my skin, this scent is just the right mix of fruit and flower. I love how it lasts all day and into the night, even lingering still as I woke this morning. The mid-notes of Damas rose and powdery violet are my favorite aspects of this fragrance.

Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne Eau de Parfum Spray is currently available YSL counters nationwide and online at YSLBeautyUS.com.

Another summer collection that has me dreaming of the beach today (did I mention it snowed last night?) is the new Yves Saint Laurent Summer Look 2009.

With warm, contrasting colors and a standout peacock-blue mascara, this collection is bold and glamorous at the same time:

YSL Summer Look 2009 is composed of 5 products, including 3 limited editions:

Eye palette “Trésor d’Afrique” collector , offers 5 shades: ivory, to be used as a base; turquoise, plum, and navy blue for definition, and toffee to brighten the arch area and bring warmth and contrast to the eyes.

Everlong Waterproof Lengthening Mascara in ‘Ever Peacock Blue’ (limited edition): A double innovation for a double lengthening effect, due to the association of a new generation brush with an exclusive complex – the LASH GROWTH BOOSTER – which favors lash growth.

Limited Edition Trésor d’Afrique Collector Sun Powder houses a large pressed bronzer with golden shimmer, to give you a healthy glow. The Poudre de Soleil N° 2 Golden Sun shade offers an even and luminous tan with only a few brush strokes.

Rouge Pur Shine, sheer lipstick SPF15 : this shiny lipstick with exceptional gliding properties, hydrates and illuminates the lips with sparkling, transparent colours.  It is now available in 2 of summer’s hottest shades: #32 Frozen Mango and #33 Wild Blackberry.

Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in ‘light peach’ : The famous take-anywhere pen-brush for adding a touch of light or banishing shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area, the hollow of the chin, the contour of the lips and the sides of the nose.

YSL Summer Look 2009 is available online at YSLBeautyUS.com.
