Ta-da!
It’s not often I delve in to the realm of beauty here – silly really considering it’s something that the majority of us consider and spend time on each day..I often spend longer painting my nails than picking an outfit. I’m also one to spend a little more if I know I’m getting a quality product, which is why I’ve been a devout ‘YSLer’ since I bought their liquid eyeliner many years ago. Since then, there has always been a bit of YSL in my make-up bag. The beautiful packaging does it for me every time!
I couldn’t have been happier to be invited to discover their latest product, Le Teint Touche Éclat, a foundation based on the famous Touche Éclat. This involved being filmed marching across the Champs Élysées at 7am, bleary-eyed and bare faced before a makeover with some of their most celebrated products, including the very-much anticipated new addition, a foundation with the same light-reflecting qualities as it’s 20 year old sister!
Now I’m not used to opening my mouth in front of a camera, but my reaction when first feeling the product was very much genuine! The foundation is one of the lightest and silkiest I’ve used – which worried me a little as I like a very full coverage, but this manages to cover blemishes despite it’s light texture, all thanks to it’s lack of opaque fillers (a powdery substance that can make foundation appear more ‘caked on’) and the addition of a newly developed blurring-gel instead. I’ve become quite the expert on foundation, haven’t I?! I personally prefer to use a little powder to set it, as I find I can get a bit shiny whilst wearing it. Other than that, no complaints – it’s been on my face every day since I got hold of the bottle.
Also, great news for pale girls! The foundation comes in 22 differing shades, and mine (BD20) wasn’t event the lightest. Hurrah!!
It’s already for sale in the UK, and will roll out across the world over the next few months. (p.s if you haven’t tried their Vernis a Levres before, give one a go – they smell good enough to eat!!) x
you look amazing. so cool to see you in a video.
Beautiful video!
I Love YSL make up, I’m going to buy it right now!!!

I went to my local Debenhams today to be told they launch the new foundation on Monday. They helped me to pick the right shade for me (BR20) and gave a free sample. They have reserved a bottle for me and I collect it on Monday! Very excited!
The make up looks awesome and the nail polish too. Unbelievable color

LOVE seeing you on video, you speak really well, more please!! Also, you’ve got me very intrigued about this foundation, I don’t wear much but when I do my skin always get so dry, I might have a look into this! x
You should really do more speaking videos!
And I must check out this foundation. I don’t really wear them, but this seems like it would be perfect for the days when I do, so thanks for sharing.

I may have to try to get hold of a bottle of this when it’s released in the U.S. I’ve got generally very pale skin as well (although this summer in TN has been so blazing hot that I’m getting a tan despite my best efforts – sad!) and it’s so hard to find a foundation that matches my paleness. This sounds excellent!
I loved hearing you speak, too – it’s fun to put a voice to faces online!
Congratulations!!!

It looks wonderful, I’m still in search for a perfect foundation to match my skin tone!

How wonderfully strange and lovely, to hear your voice after so long reading your posts!

What a pretty lady. Might have to get some of this! I have the same skin tone as you
So disappointing when you get an orangey hue to a foundation or concealer!
der nagellack ist richtig schön!
hast du interesse daran das ich dich zu meinem blogroll hinzufüge?
dann klick hier♥
würde mich sehr freuen!
i used to love your blog precisely because, unlike the majority of (successful) blogs out there, you rarely did promo posts. now every other post is about promoting a certain product or clothes brand, which is quite boring to read. it’s really good for you to have attained such a big level of popularity recognized by big and small brands alike, it’s just that…with it came a loss of the simpleness and sweetness that made me follow your blog in the first place.
That sounds amazing! I love their under eye concealer and have used it for years. I always struggle to find a foundation to suit my skin tone as I am mixed race. I’ll definitely have to check this out.
This video is amazing! <3
