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.

YSL Makeup’s Spring Look 2009 is an artistic look at the visionary contrasts invented by the designer: a shock of colors in vibrating harmonies of yellow and pink, orange and fuchsia, green and violet, ochre and blue. Icons of the collection are two Limited Edition palettes inspired by abstract art, while NEW Gloss Pur makes its stunning debut in six luscious shades:

• Pure Nude
• Pure Rose
