Brand Focus: YSL Beauty

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my favourite High End brand Yves Saint Laurent. I’m a sucker for gold luxurious packaging and YSL are up there with the best packaging I think. So today I thought I would do a brand focus on a few of products I just love using from their collection.

So I guess I best start with my favourite product from YSL. My readers will know my favourite go-to foundation has to be their Le Teint Touche Eclat. Its got the perfect mix of foundation with a subtle hint of highlighter. With medium coverage, it leaves a gorgeous dewy finish that doesn’t feel heavy but you still feel covered. Since buying my first bottle in june, I’m almost onto my third… Opps.

My first ever YSL purchase was actually the Touche Eclat. Its been a product for me where some days I’ll wear it then I’ll kind of forget about it. However since using this foundation, it sets so nice as a little glow under my eyes. People still get a little confused what it actually does but just imagine it as a product to highlight your features on your face. But personally it works well for hiding spots too. Win win.

YSL offer a wide range of shades in different packaging. So for me it takes even longer to pick a shade and what packaging. Below the two I mostly use is Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick ’55’ and Rouge Volupté Shine ’05’.

The  Pur Couture Lipstick was my first ever lipstick from YSL. Its got the perfect mix of shine but with a matte finish so it’s so long-lasting. For £25 its one of my most expensive lipsticks but for quality its worth the price tag. Similar with Volupté Shine, this perfectly packaged lippy adds moisture and shine to lips. It smells amazing too. I love the packaging on this especially with the shade band. Oh how I want more of these!

I can’t forget their lip stains either. I’ve got three of these now and they are the perfect mix of gloss and lipstick. It looks like a gloss but sets and stains your lips – a unique formula. Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres needs to be in your makeup bag. I have shades 106 (pink) and 30 (purple). Sometimes I use these over a lipstick for added shine or they are perfect on their own.

And finally their mascara’s. Every mascara I have had from YSL has showed off amazing false lash effect results. My fave? It has to be their Shocking Mascara. The only downfall for their mascara’s is they dry up pretty quick compared to others but they are improving the formula’s all the time.

Luxurious Waterproof Mascara, is my go-to waterproof. Its got a unique bristle brush that adds definition where it needs to. No need to worry at all if it’ll smudge in water so its my favourite summer holiday mascara. 

False Lash Effect mascara, according to YSL experts say it’s the same formula as their Shocking mascara. I use both and cannot tear them apart. Seriously it does exactly as it says. The length and thickness of my lashes with this is actually incredible. Once you’ve used these you’d never go anywhere else. I do use other brands but I will forever buy this product. 

Baby Doll Mascara is my newest purchase. As I love their mascara’s so much I thought I’d see what this is like. I haven’t used it yet but I expect to see amazing things like the other. This is meant to separate the lashes more than the others. 

YSL is the perfect mix of class and elegance. Let me know what products you love from YSL and if you have any recommendations what to try next, send them this way!
