COLLECTION: YSL Perfumes

Perfumes aren't something that I know much about. I tend to just stick with my Britney fragrances and be done with it. But since working at Boots, they're something that I find myself falling in love with. I think scent can define a person and it can bring a lot of memories back to you.

A few weeks ago at Boots we had a little incentive. I won't go too much into it but I ended up beating the incentive and for that reason, I got to choose a perfume tester. I chose the YSL Elle Eau de Parfum - £79.50 as YSL fragrances are ones that I think are beautiful. I've mentioned before that I can't describes smells very well but I'd say this one is on the musky side. But not a powerful musky scent. A nice one that can be worn in the day as well as the night. The bottle does look different to the original because it is a tester version but the smell is the exact same. I also love the YSL Parisienne Eau de Parfum - £40.00 and you can see my original post on this fragrance here.

What's your favourite fragrance? Do you like the YSL ones?

REVIEW & COMPARISON PICTURES: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation

Although this foundation isn't released in Boots yet if you stick your Advantage Card into one of the extras machines then you'll be able to print off a voucher that lets you take home a 7-day free sample of this foundation. So of course, I went and did it!

The lady on the counter was lovely and normally, I have bad experiences with those behind the counters as they tend to judge me because I'm young and think that I'm not going to buy anything. But anyway, here are some coverage photos -

As you can probably see the photos are the left are those without foundation and on the right are the photos with foundation on. I'd say the coverage of this foundation is light/medium but it can be built up in areas where you need a bit more coverage without caking on the skin. It's also great at blurring out imperfections. You can see that my scars don't appear as prominent where the light hits the foundation. The coverage was on thing that I was originally worried about as I did have many blemishes on my skin but surprisingly, I'm in love with this. The finish and feel of the foundation is like nothing I've ever felt before. It's very lightweight in texture and literally feels like there is nothing on your skin. Also, the finish is very flawless and luminous. It makes me skin look so glowy and healthy which is something that I'm after right now. If the foundation doesn't cover my scars then I can easily cover those up with a little bit of concealer. But I'm in love with this foundation. I also wore it for work today and it lasted all day with a primer and powder so I can't fault it there. So my final thoughts are that this isn't as full coverage as I'd normally go but I'm so in love with the finish and texture of it that I can't resist it or get enough of it and when it's released, I'll be buying it.

Have you tried this foundation? What are your thoughts on it?
