Lids Strike It Rich With Yves Saint Laurent Creme D’Eyeliner in No. 7 Gold Star

November 21st, 2012 by Karen 10 Comments

The new Yves Saint Laurent Creme D'Eyeliner in No 7 Gold Star,

Ever been cruising a beauty department and suddenly start daydreaming about leopard-print carpeting and YSL?

Really?! Me, too! 🙂

It happened the other day while I was playing with the new Yves Saint Laurent Northern Lights holiday collection.

The quads? Mmm-kay. The blushes? I thought they also were pretty cute, but the new $25 Creme D’Eyeliner in No. 07 Gold Star?

Love it!

Note to self: if I ever inherit a mansion from a mysterious billionaire benefactor (BTW, WHERE ARE YOU?!), I’m painting one of the rooms from floor to ceiling in this warm, bronzy gold (and installing leopard-print carpeting and red velvet curtains).

Can you picture Tabs in a room like that wearing his Hugh Hefner robe?

LOL! Here’s my point: this cream liner is opulent and rich.

At first I was drawn to it because it reminded me of one of my favorite colors of all time, MAC Powersurge, but after getting to know it better, now I think it’s a star in its own right.

Flush with pigment, the soft and fluffy cream formula glides smoothly across my skin, and once it locks on lash and water lines, it doesn’t budge. As a matter of fact, I have to bring out the big guns to remove it, so you might want to have a waterproof eye makeup remover close by.

If your holiday party itinerary is completely booked, and you’re the kind of guy/gal who doesn’t like to bust out five different colors and eight brushes to do an eye look, grab a pot of Gold Star, and then just line your lash and water lines with it, pat some on your lids, and blend out the edges.

Tada! Maybe also curl your lashes, give ’em a couple coats of your most dramatic black mascara (right now I’m in a thing with Chanel Le Volume… SO AWESOME!), fill in your brows, and slick your lips with your favorite red lipstick and/or gloss. 🙂

PRICE: $25
AVAILABILITY: Available now at YSL counters and yslbeautyus.com
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A+ (I’m tempted to get a backup…or two; I love it that much)

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Gobble gobble! Hope you’re having a great night. I’m just watching 30 Rock now and getting ready for bed. I had a Tabs scare earlier. I was on the way out of the house, and El Hub asked if I’d seen Tabs lately, and I realized I hadn’t in hours. A few freaked out minutes later, I found him hiding in a closet upstairs.

I guess he hates the vacuum about as much as I do, haha.

    Wow that IS an opulent and rich gold. It looks like it could double up as a lovely lid base too!

    Looks rich indeed! I guess it would go quite well on a Christmas inspired makeup.

    Whoaaa I have to check this out! I can see this one has a lot of depth and dimension! Great to hear it doesn’t budge either!

    Poor Tabs! Mine are A OK with the vacuum. They’d stay out of its way, but nobody hides in a closet when I bust it out. Maybe I do it way too often and they got used to it early 🙂

    Hmmm, I dunno how I feel about gold eyeliner, but that does look pretty. I’m thinking it might be a little too warm for me, and anyway, I fail at eyes…

    My husband freaked out about our cats missing yesterday, too! They were hiding under the bed. Fans of the vacuum they are not.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Ugh that gold liner is GORGEOUS. I’ve heard a lot of good things about YSL’s gel liner formula but I haven’t tried it myself. On the list now!! 😀

    I love the part about mysterious billionaire benefactors. One of my finance prof’s favorite examples is having a rich uncle who wants to give you either (X) money now for graduation or (Y) money in (Z) years. I’m like, where’s my rich uncle giving me money for graduation?

    I’ve never bought any YSL (grad student budget!) but maybe some YSL will go on my Valentine’s list…

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
