The YSL Summer 2012 makeup collection introduces three new Pure Chromatics quads #7 Shell, #8 Sand and #9 Stone, plus a Terre Saharienne Collector Edition bronzer embossed with a snakeskin print.

The pic below shows swatches of Pure Chromatics #9 in the top row, #8 in the middle row and #7 in the bottom row. These were done dry without any primer underneath. The Pure Chromatics can be applied either dry or wet for a more intense finish.

The Pure Chromatics eyeshadows have a dreamy velvety texture and a shimmery finish. However, the three new quads did not appeal to me enough to justify the whopping €49 price tag as several of the shades looked like they could be easily duped.

I think this collection is going to be the death of me! I don't usually pay a whole lot of attention to YSL but I can't stop thinking about this collection. Thanks for the swatches!
