Yves Saint Laurent – Oh me, Oh my

My first experience of YSL was a Christmas present from my best friend in the form of their renowned Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radient Touch Highlighting Pen.

From the moment I took it out the expensive gold box I was hooked! The heavy, sleek casing ooze YSL chic and I passed the point of no return in the land of concealers. The smooth finish left my dark circles banished to sleepless night town and my skin glowed. Don’t ask me where I had been all this time that I never knew about this gift from the beauty gods but I’d found it now. 4 years later and Touche Éclat is a constant resident in my make up bag. The only draw back is its cost…. at £25 it is a bank breaker when you hear the last click of life but worth every penny.

A recent addition to my beauty regime (and a continuation of my love affair with YSL)  is a product I received as a sample with the latest Touche Éclat purchase. It comes in the form of Flash Radiance Skincare Brush.

I used it after my moisturizer and immediately felt my skin smooth out. The next day my make up looked fresh and light. I suffer from the 3pm make up shift and expected no different so was really surprised when checking my reflection in the lift mirror at 5pm to find my make up in check and my mascara in place. So you could say I found new levels of appreciation for this product. Appreciation that even lasted as I handed over my bank card at the product counter to pay the £35 for a replacement! It lasts for 3 months so in my view a total of 40p a day, bargain!
