| Pics and swatches of Voile de Blush in Voile Rose and Golden Gloss in Golden Violet |
A collection inspired by crystallised violet, sugared rose, lemon drops, sorbets and peppermints? Yes, please! Yves Saint Laurent's Candy Face collection is as mouthwatering as it sounds, with juicy glazes for cheeks and lips and intensely bold, bright eyeshadow colours.
I was sent a couple of pieces from this delectable collection to play about with: the Voile de Blush or jelly blush in No. 3, Voile Rose, and the golden gloss in No. 49, Golden Violet. (No. 50, Golden Peach, is also new for spring.)
The blush shade I have is the palest and sadly it doesn't show up on my face, but would be perfect for those with pale or fair skintones. It also comes in red, lilac and coral shades and I'll certainly be purchasing one of these, as the texture is blimmin' gorgeous: a light, sheer, water-based gel that melts into cheeks for a touch of barely-there colour.

As a big fan of YSL's golden glosses, Golden Violet didn't let me down. It's a vivid, blue-based fuchsia shade with shimmery golden particles, and that gorgeous signature YSL scent that's carried across all the brand's cosmetics.
The collection also includes two brightly-hued eyeshadow palettes (that's them pictured above), two new shades of Rouge Volupte Perle lipstick and four juicy shades of Volupte Sheer Candy baume gloss in red, purple, pink and tangerine. New nail polish duos in orange/pink and chocolate/mint round out the collection.
Candy Face is on counter now; prices range from €30 -€32 for the lip products, €38 for the blush and the nail polish duo, €55 for the Vinyl Candy palette and €57 for the 5-piece shadow palette.
What do you think, do you like what you see, or are you sweet enough?

I love gel blushers! They are the best. Haven't tried YSL before.
Same goes for their nail polish! Is it good? I'm really fussy over consistency (you know, not too runny, but yet doesn't go gloopy too fast either...) The orange shade is gorgeous!
Oh my god I love love these colours!
The colours really are stunning, I'm not sure I could pull them off though.
What a shame the blush didn't ring through for you :(
@little t, I haven't actually tried any of the YSL polishes but the quality of all the products I *have* tried has always been exceptional so I've every faith the nail polish would follow suit.
@DawnieP, aren't they fab?! xo
@CherrySue, I'm sure you could, just have a wee play with them on counter and see what you think! xo
Such a pretty collection, that gloss is gorge!
Lovely collection - would love to get my hands on that lip gloss !

I kinda want everything in the collection too, it all looks so pretty! xo
I'm dribbling a little...... love it all!!

Oh I love this! The colors are so pretty and vibrant. That shadow palette looks like it would be so much fun to experiment with..I'm on the hunt:)
Ooh I love YSL makeup, I've got a few things over the last few months - they've been bringing out some great colours. Found you through the blog hop and now following :) x
I can't deny how much I love YSL packaging but I think I'll be steering clear of this collection. It's too bright for my liking. haha :) xo
I LOVE ALL THOSE COLORS!!! I want it all :)

@Sarirah, it's probably not for you if you're a neutrals only girl ... though the blushers aren't too in your face at all, maybe check them out?
Great to see so much love for it out there! xo
I haven't ever tried and of YSL's cosmetics line,but the pictures make me want to buy a bunch of it and leave it on my counter for decoration:)

If you've never tried YSL you're in for such a treat Erin, the products are gorgeous and the packaging is seriously luxe! xo
I love the bright pink lipgloss, so lush !
I do love the palette with the 5 couleurs only the packing could be better for such a top brand no velvet pouch to store in it. As chanel and dior always do.
I have the two shadow palettes, and adore them! I've used them quite a lot on shoots this summer...sweet as...!
