According to Kiss and Make Up there are only 1650 available, with any Facebook fan who buys the Devoted To Fans palette receiving "privileges" such as exclusive information, perks and services through their Facebook feed and in store. The initiative launches July 19 on YSL Beauty's Facebook page.

Yves Saint Laurent is just one of many beauty labels to embrace social media as a way of connecting with consumers. Until now, one of the biggest ways of increasing fan growth had been seen via free sampling campaigns, with digital savvy brands such as Clinique, Origins and Bobbi Brown all increasing their Facebook "likes" in this fashion.
