YSL Touche Éclat Foundation

Some of you may have read my little post about claiming a free tester of the upcoming YSL foundation from YSL counters across the country using a printable voucher provided on the Facebook page.

Naturally, I too claimed this tester and despite it being a 7 day tester, this has lasted me 3 weeks and is still going. This is me using a generous amount as well, I haven't been using it sparingly. The first day I used the foundation I remember being extremely impressed, it really is a good match for my skin (I was colour matched as BR30 (Beige Rosé), and is surprisingly light, I didn't have a heavy foundation feeling on my face - one of the reasons I never used to wear foundation. I was even impressed with the scent. 

When applying this foundation, I have used my hands to blend, rather than a foundation brush or any other brush just for speed really. It blends really well, and has good coverage, I still need to use concealer, but nowhere near as much as before as this covers up minor imperfections quite well.

After a days wear, it still seems to be going strong, it lasted me well over an entire day at a festival. It lasts well at work despite my face usually looking quite shiny by the end (which I still think is from the air con). It doesn't highlight any of my dry patches either which is one of my frustrations when wearing products.

I will be honest, when I first got the tester, I had hoped it would just be all hype and it wouldn't live up to expectations (because I didn't want to like it so much to want to pay the £28 price tag) but unfortunately, it has lived up to expectation, and the 7 day sample has lasted me quite some time, I think near enough 4 weeks. It hasn't clogged up my pores, or caused me to have any more break outs than I usually do, so I can see myself investing in this foundation in the future.

There are a couple of other foundations I would still like to try, but this may well be my next foundation purchase!

Even the bottle looks incredibly classy!

This can be bought online, or at YSL counters across the country for £28/30 ml which is the typical bottle size for a foundation I think.

Did you claim the sample? Or indeed buy the full size? How have you got on with it?
