To soothe my wounds from buying a few L/E items from another line that were total misses I went out last night & purchased a second YSL Pure Chromatics Eye palette in #9 and a MAC lippie in "syrup". I tried it out today and the palette did not disappoint at all. I never gave YSL any attention in the past till as of lately. I'm hooked and look forward to adding more. What makeup line exceeded your expectations and became an unexpected hit?

Naomi...the lipsticks are next on my agenda. First I have to research which colors I like and narrow it down from there. I can't stand nothing more than to buy a $30+ lipstick for it produce horrible results.

Thank you so much for the heads up Erica. Drying is no go for me...especially at that price point. Which formulas from the line do you have?

I have the lingerie rose and pink petal lip stain...the liptstick on its own or topped with the gloss is still drying for me..the stain on its own is nice but not crazy pigmented...I dunno, the colors are just so nice but I don't grab it often just because my lips don't feel good wearing it.

Lingerie rose is the lipstick...maybe it all depends but I have dry lips anyway...it doesn't seem to help matters lol.

Oh and the mascara...I cannot even begin to describe my disappointment..I have the effet faux cils and it smudges!! for like almost forty Friggin dollars and it smudges all under your lower lashes and on top, with or without a primer.

I love YSL perfume. I know it's not makeup but it smells amazing. People always ask what I'm wearing. I picked up Syrup two months ago and love it. It's probably my favorite MAC shade. I wear it all the time!

Erica...I feel ya about the mascara. You couldn't pay me to go high-end on mascara. I love my Loreal Luminous too much to switch. From reading reviews about the lippies...the lighter shades seem to be super drying. I only have my eyes on two lippie shades so hopefully one of them will be a hit.

Vanessa...I never had syrup before and I love it. I can't believe I slept on this surprise hit. :)

@Shumi...its worth checking out. They perform best when used wet though. I don't even have to use eye primer...if used dry you have to use a semi-sticky primer.

Honestly I think Syrup is my HG color lipstick. I am that in love with the color. My perfect lipstick would be the color of syrup but in Too Faced's La Creme lipstick formula.
