Mischo Beauty Loves Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pure Shine No. 34 - Metallic Gold Lipstick & Golden Gloss No. 36 - Golden Chocolate Lip Gloss

I've been wearing this lipstick (Rouge Pure Shine No. 34 - Metallic Gold) for a few weeks now and yes it's metallic gold (second photo below), but it wears very sheer. It looks amazing with my haircolor, and I love that it's buildable. But my favorite look (third photo below) is layering the lipstick above with Yves Saint Laurent's Golden Gloss No. 36 - Golden Chocolate. The gloss layers nicely, isn't sticky and is full of shimmer, shine and sparkles. So, what do you think?

Mischo Beauty Loves Yves Saint Laurent 2010 Holiday Makeup Collection

You all know how much I love Yves Saint Laurent beauty, so it's only natural that I share my favorites from the Holiday 2010 collection. Available in stores now, the collection is full of golds, shimmer and lots of shine - all of which are exactly what you need for the holidays. My personal favorites from this collection include the Touche D'or, which is a face highlighter I've been using just above the apples of my cheeks for a subtle glow. And because I've always been a lipstick girl (my preference is lipstick over lip gloss), I'm loving Rouge Pure Shine No. 34 - Metallic Gold lipstick which looks amazing with my haircolor! I've been layering it with Golden Gloss No. 36 - Golden Chocolate lip gloss, and the look is sexy!

Mischo Beauty Loves YSL Beauty's "#142 Ultra Orange" Nail Polish

While I can't say that YSL Beauty's La Laque #142 Ultra Orange is the "color of the summer", I will tell you all that I am in love with it! So much so, that it was my nail color of choice at my Dove sponsored spa dayI tweeted about a few weeks ago (more on that later today!). The color is creamy and bright, and reminds me of a fruity popsicle. It's definitely a must-have shade for the summer!

What's on your nails this week?

Mischo Beauty Loves Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect & YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer

Last week one of my followers on Twitter asked me what my favorite hair products were and why. Well I love answering any/all beauty related questions- you all know it's my passion, so don't ever hesitate to send them! Anyway, I was going through my makeup bag this morning and wanted to share with you two of my favorite products- at the moment- that I first blogged about last year.

The first is Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect Linen Beige #317, which I posted here and here. The second is YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer Tulipe Noire #34, which is down to the last drop! I'd love to know what products you're loving at the moment- for hair, skin or nails!

Mischo Beauty Pick: PARISIENNE By Yves Saint Laurent Beauty

I welcomed the opportunity to try Yves Saint Laurent Beauty's newest fragrance, Parisienne, and I will tell you that I was not disappointed. It's described as "a grand floral with a woody structure, luminous even in its mystery". The fragrance's top notes are Blackberry, Damask Rose and Sandalwood.

Now I'm not an expert when it comes to fragrances, but I could barely smell the Sandalwood which contributes to the "woody structure" of the fragrance and I think that's why I liked it so much. I'm more partial to citrus/floral scents, and I could smell the richness of the Blackberry and Damask Rose immediately after testing it out. It's more of a "day" scent for me and it's definitely a keeper! Have you tried it?

Yves Saint Laurent has launched two new shades to add to their collection of Gloss Pur Pure Lip Glosses - #47 Pure Peach & #48 Pure Petal, both perfect for summer. All of the glosses in this collection are sparkle-free and you can view them here.

Mischo Beauty Loves: Claudia Schiffer for Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2009 Ad Campaign

I'm loving Claudia's hair in the current YSL ad campaign, just as much as I loved Naomi's in last fall's ad campaign.

I'm partial to soft and flowing roller-set, pin-curled hairstyles. They're simple, classic and glamorous. Here, her hair is reminiscent of 1940's Lena Horne and Veronica Lake. I've been searching all over the web to find the hairstylist who created this look, but no such luck yet...

At any rate, the clothes, shoes and accessories - I LOVE! View more at YSL.com

Mischo Beauty Alert: Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Pur Black

I can't wait to try this! It screams "runway!"... I'm envisioning it layered on top of a rich red or plum colored lipstick. This limited edition lip gloss is available for pre-order only online:

"A cosmetic jewel that turns lips into a spectacular fashion statement.

Mysterious, sensual, luminous… .

For fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, black is THE color. And as a make-up artist, lips are THE focus. YSL GLOSS PUR Black unites these two facets of his art in a superb Limited Edition.

From plum to ebony, it dresses lips in an infinite range of shades, depending on how it is applied – feather light or rich and bold. Transparent yet intense, it plays on the depths of black and the pure shine of a sparkle-free formula."

Are you planning to order it?

Mischo Beauty Extra: #34 Tulipe Noire by Yves Saint Laurent

I stopped by the YSL counter this weekend to check out the new Tuxedo collection and instantly fell in love with the #35 Tuxedo Grey nail polish (which was already sold out!) and the #9 Emerald liquid eyeliner - oh and the #14 Golden Purple & #15 Golden Berry lip glosses are so pretty! But for this week's post I chose the #34 Tulipe Noire nail polish. It's a deep, dark purple (looks almost black depending on the lighting) and I LOVE it! I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it on at the counter. I had planned to finish the month of August with the bright nail colors I'd purchased, but oh well- I guess you can't stop love! One coat is all you need to achieve the color in the bottle, but darker colors are harder for me to apply neatly, so I applied two. What do you think?
