Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté

The YSL Rouge Volupté lipsticks are probably my favorite lipsticks of all time. Their only downside is the price. At $34, they are definitely some of the pricier lipsticks that I  own, however I think that they are well worth it. The majority of nude lipsticks that I have tried wear off everywhere except right where your upper and lower lip meet, leaving a really gross white-ish line. YSL Rouge Volupte  in 2- Sensual Silk is the only nude colored lipstick that does not do this. This is a beautiful peachy nude color that is great for those of us who are extremely  pale. If you have a more tan-medium skin I would recommend 1-Nude Beige, which is more of a light dusty rose, or 3-Ultimate Beige which is a brighter peachier pink (but still in the nude category). All of their bright colors wear amazingly as well. Some of my favorites are 11-Rose Culte which is just a VERY bright hot pink, as well as 7- Lingerie Pink which is just a really pretty baby pink color.
  Because this lipstick is so creamy, it doesn't seem to cling to every dry patch on your lips or dry them out further, which is a major plus. They go on super creamy and then within about 30 min to an hour, they dry to a more satin finish. Because of this they are super long lasting and wear great throughout the day. As I discussed earlier, when they do wear off they wear off more evenly, not leaving funky patches or lines on your lips. I would highly recommend this product, however because of the price point, I would recommend going into the store first and trying it on to make sure that you like the color as well as the feel on the lips. Sephora recently started selling YSL, and I know that you can get them at Nordstrom as well. 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! If you have any suggestions or questions for me please let me know! I would love to hear from you :)

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

YSL's Touche Eclat has been something that I have been wanting to try for years, but I could never justify spending 40$ on an under eye concealer/brightener. I finally broke down and bought it due to huge dark circles under my eyes that nothing would cover up. This is the only product that will cover my dark circles while still looking natural. This is a fantastic product that I would highly recommend, and I will definitely be repurchasing. It  flawlessly covers up and brightens dark circles under the eye, making you look refreshed and awake (even if you pulled an all nighter the night before writing a paper). The other great thing about this concealer, is that it doesn't settle into fine lines, which makes it great for more mature skin. It also doesn't do that "grainy" thing over time as I discussed in my  Mac Studio Finish Concealer review.  I think that this product is great for all skin types and both my mother and I use this concealer even though we have very different skin types. Another great thing about this product is the shade range, I use the rose (shade 1) shade for my extraordinarily pale skin and it looks fantastic, and they have many other shades as well.  They also have some very dark shades such as shade 4, for darker skintones. My only wish is that they would have some darker more red based shades for very dark skin tones to help counteract ashy-ness (if you go to gossmakeupartist's youtube channel, he has some reviews on amazing products for women of color). I also wish that this was a little less expensive, however it is right around the same price pint as the Dior and Guerlain concealer /correctors. One last thing to point out is that for people with sensitive skin, this concealer is great because it doesn't give me that itchy heavy feeling as it wears as some other concealers do. 

Cost: 40$

Finish: Natural, it blend beautifully into the skin and you can't even tell it is there. 

Coverage: Light to Medium

Best Suited For: all skin types, I would highly recommend for those with more mature skin. 

Comparable to: Guerlain Issima Precious Light Smoothing Illuminator or Dior Skinflash  Concealer

Would You Recommend This Product?: YES!!!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5
