Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items. I hope you're all well this week? Today I have a selection of items from 2009. I had already photographed the blushes for this post, then later discovered I owned the eyeshadow quad from the same range. I decided to retake all the photos so you could see all the items together. Last week, I shared the Summer 2007 YSL palettes if you missed that.

I just realised why this post has taken me so long to put together. Over 100 final photos (so in reality, hundreds more that were disregarded)!! That's a lot of work just resizing, tagging and adding the frame, never mind taking the photos, swatching and writing the post, plus inserting all these images one at a time (thanks for that Blogger)! The haul isn't even particularly big, but as my favourite art teacher once said "if something is worth doing once, it's worth doing properly" and for the past 20 years I've adhered to that. I could take a couple of blurry, unlabelled shots and expect 50 people to comment, but I'm not sure I see the point in blogging that way. Actually, I tend to not get many comments on posts like these (although a lot of views), but for me it's about making sure I've shown you every angle, every detail and that I've gone into some accuracy about the item.  Writing beauty posts like these (minus the tedious editing...
