I've see a lot of you asking the differences between these 2 #eyeshadow palettes, so I thought I'd show you!😻 When I first clocked the 2017 palette - also known as Mon Paris 2.0 - I fell in love! I was shocked to find this pretty little number in the UK, at #Debenhams & was worried it was going to sell out before I got paid. However, it isn't getting the push the original one did. This is a shame cause it is one of the nicest palettes #YSL have ever released. The 2016 edition seemed to take the internet by storm, when it was released last Spring/Summer. However, I was never really impressed with it. In fact, I had to call on a friend to send me the photos she took of her palette, as I never brought it & couldn't get picture in store. I felt 2016 colours were a bit 'blah.' That's really the main word that comes to mind because I am a pastel & pale shade lover, both of which are included in 2016's, as well as a #shimmery, #smokeyeye lover. However, the colours didn't really 'pop' or grab my attention. 2017's, on the other hand, was a different story. The astounding colours caught my attention right away - how can your eyes not be drawn to such vivid, yet charming & sophisticated hues? The shimmer was also much stronger on the 2017 edition, as you can probably see in the photos. The 2016 palette did have a slight shimmer, which showed up when applied, but it still wasn't that noticeable. I think the colours weren't strong enough to carry the shimmer & ended up being whited out by it, whereas 2017's has similar, but stronger colours, so the shimmer is very bold. YSL replaced the taupe-grey from 2016, with a peachy-pink for 2017 & whilst the centre black was slightly lighter for 2017, it still came out stronger. The ivory white was almost identical, but slightly pinker for 2017. The purple was a much darker plum & the grey was a cleaner, purer tone. Overall, the 2017 palette definitely has a higher pigmentation & the shades are more varied, as well as creamier & smoother.
