I don’t have a good opening paragraph. Let’s just get right to the review!
YSL Couture Mini Clutch in 830 Unexplored Garden
Just like the previous four quads I’ve reviewed, and the holiday one, I haven’t had issues with fading, creasing, fallout, nor any problems picking up product with my natural hair brushes. I don’t need to spray my brush to get the sparkly shadow to stick to my eyes or be intensified. The shadows adhere on the first go. They blend well and quickly.
I still consider this eyeshadow quality to be among the top three that I own. I can’t decide for certain which one is number one.
When it comes to this color story, I haven’t found it to be that versatile, but I just need to create one pretty eye look in order to be happy.
Shade 1 is in the designated topper eyeshadow area of this quad (the top left corner). It looks white in the pan, but the shimmer is actually a light green color that is beautiful!
Shade 2 is the typical one that’s usually too light to show up much on my skin. I use this shade between my brow and crease to keep that space open and looking clean, plus blurring and blending out edges of the crease shade.
I consider Shade 4 to be a soft matte army green color. It’s desaturated and adds depth to the look. It’s not too deep for me to use in the crease, but I wish it had a little more vibrancy.
Shade 3 looks warmer on my lids than I expected, especially considering I can see silver sparkles in it.
Overall, this color story is pretty, but it doesn’t excite me. These aren’t the tones of green that drive me wild. I knew I had these feelings, but because I love the YSL formula and have been impatiently waiting for a green palette by them, I still wanted to own this anyway.
For anyone curious, YSL’s Over Brun is still my favorite quad of the bunch, followed by Golden Lace in second place.
That’s all for today! It’s a quick review since my opinions aren’t different from what I’ve said about the previous quads. I hope the brand will continue to explore colorful options in the future.

This is a pretty color story indeed. But they always have to put that one color in there that is not very universal. Anyway, I like your look. The off color is undetectable.

Yes, they love putting some variant of beige, camel, beige-grey, beige-tan, light taupe, etc. I hope they will stop doing that honestly. As much as I like the particular topper in this quad too, I don’t usually like toppers enough to want one in every quad.

Yes, the random extraterrestrial colors are not necessary. LOL A lot of them could use more human skin tone friendly transition shades.
