YSL Bleu Majorelle

I know this will be an unusual post for me,since I have very few high end polishes. While at the CF Beauty Bloggers event at Neiman Marcus event a few weeks ago, I saw the beauty rep. from Yves Saint Laurent wearing this blue polish from their line. The first thing I said to her after her presentations was that I was coming back to buy that polish, and I did just that. I'm still in my bright blue phase, so I couldn't pass this up.  It's not everyday I'd throw down $25 for a nail polish, but I happily did for this one.

YSL Bleu Majorelle

Bleu Majorelle is a bright cobalt blue creme.

This polish is positively perfect in every way. The color is to die for. This is that bright blue I've been needing in my life. It is very vivid and pigmented. It really has a brightness to it unlike any other blue I've seen. The formula and application of this polish was great. It had a thin flat brush, which I really liked.

I found out this color was inspired by the Majorelle Garden, designed by Jacques Majorelle in Marrakech, Morocco in the 20's and 30's. This shade of blue is used throughout the garden and the color was named after Majorelle himself. I'm a history buff, so to have a tidbit of history with the nail polish is very cool. 


I really love this color despite its hefty price tag. It was very worth it to me. I've found my high end polishes to continue to impress me. That being said, I will still not frequently shop high end brands. I certainly don't have the budget for it, but on the rare occasion for a special polish I'll give in!


Happy Tuesday!
