YSL TEINT TOUCHE ECLAT ROSE GOLD FACE PRIMER

Yves Saint Laurent have introduced a new and exclusive make-up collection for Boots, which takes their best selling products and adds rose gold inside and out to make them even better. The collection includes a Teint Touche Elcat Rose Gold Face Primer, Souffle D’eclat Rose Gold Face Powder, Touché Eclat Highlighter, a Blush Volupte Rose Gold in the shade Loulou and a Blush Brush. The rose gold adds an extra radiance to the skin, pink being the new beauty trend, which is feminine, fresh and youthful.

I haven't tried many item from this premium beauty range, but I decided to plump for the Teint Touche Eclat Face Primer which is priced at £30.00 for 30ml of product. The rose gold primer can be used in three ways, underneath foundation, blending with your foundation and after foundation as a highlighter. The sparkling rose-gold pigments create a natural rosy glow and enhances the complexion. The formula feels lovely and silky to touch and not sticky at all. I like to use this mostly mixed with my foundation for the most natural look. The effect gives a pretty light glow with a peachy tint. It removes yellow tones in the skin and makes your skin look the best it can be, flawless! It’s very long lasting on the skin and as a primer it helps my foundation stay put for longer.

As YSL products are so iconic in the beauty industry, it is a risk to change such a classic. But I think YSL have done this well by making it exclusive to one store and having limited stock. And who doesn’t love rose gold?! Once I had swatched this instore I knew I had to purchase it, I am now lusting over the powder in the range which is currently out of stock online. The packaging is gorgeous and the luxury gold lid makes the product appear more premium. I really like that it comes in a pump glass bottle, not so great for travelling but it looks great pride of place on my dressing table.

My skin has never looked so healthy and full of life. If you love the Laura Mercier Radiance Primer, this is for you. Have you tried YSL make-up?

GLOSSYBOX - JUNE 2012 SEXY SUMMER BOX

I have been subscribed to Glossybox since November, after hearing about it on YouTube earlier on in the year. I think it's a great concept to try out new products that I maybe wouldn't pick up in the shops and always find something in the box each month which I fully use up and want to repurchase. This month's box arrived this morning and I think it's one of the best suited to me yet, so I couldn't wait to share.

This month's box is all about products which will help you get beach ready, and will cover every summer beauty need!
Glossybox - Serie Exclusiv Pro Beauty Brush, £15.00 - I think it's great that glossybox include their own products, it seems like a good quality brush that I would probably use for blush. (Also goes with the mirror we received in last month's box.)
Yves Rocher France - Mini Mascara Ultra-Volume sexy pulp, Fullsize £16.90 - This is a fab sized product to just put in your handbag when your in need of a touch up. I really like the shape of the brush, and I think it will add lots of volume to lashes. I can't wait to try that.
BM Beauty - Summer Warmth Bronzer, Fullsize £8.00 - I remember having one of BM beauty's products in a different beauty box - maybe carmine? It was a black shadow, which I have had a lot of use from using it as a shadow eyeliner. Now being quite pale skinned, I find a lot of bronzers can be quite dark on my skin type, but this shade seems quite light so I think it will just add a nice warmth to my cheeks. Something I wouldn't pick up myself, but you never know I might get some use from it this summer.

Clean Start by Dermalogica - Day/Night 3-Step Kit, Fullsize £12.00 - This is probably my favourite product in this box as I have been meaning to try something from Dermalogica for ages now. I am really into my skincare and will always cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning and every night. All three samples are really good sizes and are suited to my skin type as I like a cleanser which can clean deep pores and keep breakouts away.

Vichy - Dermablend Ultra-Corrective Foundation Cream Stick, Fullsize £19.00 -  This is also a really good sized kit and includes 6 sample shades so there is going to be a shade which suits every skin type. I've heard good things about this product, so I'm excited to try this out. Great for camouflaging flaws and good coverage.
Overall, I am really happy with my box this month, especially the Dermalogica products. I have seen other boxes have included HD Brows Tweezers and some with a Caudalie Fragrance, which I would have liked to try also. If you would like me to review any of the products in more detail I am happy to do so. What do you think of June's Glossybox?
