I currently have 4 tinted moisturizers and about 10 foundations in my drawer. For summer, I keep coming back to this one for lightweight, skin smoothing. I sometimes dust a bit of laura Mercier mineral powder for more coverage. This is a kepper !

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat All-Over Brightening Pen
Not for Major Concealment But Light and Illuminating
I've been using this product for 10 years and believe me, I have tried all of the drugstore dupes and many high-end similar. There's is nothing like the YSL. It is not intended to be a serious concealer, but rather a highlighter or a eye brightener under the eyes when you don't want to cake on the makeup. Being older, I now use only Mercier Sheer Foundation with SPF and a light dose of the YSL under my eyes where I do have dark circles, because of thin ski and heredity. And it took 59 clicks to get my new tube started.

I've been testing a lot of what i call - pink - perfumes lately. Have found some nice ones in Shalimar Initial and Flowerbomb. Chanel Chance blows those away. It smells fresh, flowery yet more sophisticated. I don,t know perfume words but it has light floral with a soft spice, with a bit of pepper to my nose. LOVE it. Not an old lady smell.

I had high hopes of using this as a quicky face fix. The color is perfect for me but I think the formulation is too dry and makes it more difficult to blend. I've used my fingers and a brush and think the brush technique works better. I'm glad I bought a mini size.

This smells good on me. I love it's slightly floral yet spicy and vanilla smell. It dries down to a soft, powdery scent. Not for everyday or office wear. i dont think anyone should wear perfume on a bus or at the office. But this is nice for evening dates.

Okay, I didn't get this treatment done at a salon. I bought the treatments vials (s) on ebay and followed it up with the appropriate Awapuhi intensive cream. And my hair turned out fantastic. Seriously, it was dry and dull before and after was shiny, soft, had body and the color looked revived. I'm sold on this product !

Being older, my skin is leaning towards the dryer side of life. I thought this would be gentle. Instead, it doesn't feel as if it rinses off very well and my skin stings for 20 minutes after using it. I gently pay dry, then it begins to sting. Even after my night cream it still burns. This a 10 thumbs down for me. Got it as a sample so not out any money.

I have it in Raspberry Glace and the color is softer on the the lips than it looks in the tube. It goes on creamy and has a soft sheen. I was worried it would be too dark but it is absolutely lovely. I love the creamy feel. It's a winner. I think it's a good buy.

I bought this because my hair became fried after a few bad highlighting jobs, then two corrective treatments. It was the dullest and driest of it's 60 yrs. I have tried every highly rated shampoo and conditioner/mask out there to no avail. I forked out too much money for this stuff and wanted to hate it so I could return it. But my hair looks better with every use. I followed directions exactly, leaving the cleanser/conditioner on for 5 minutes (directions do say the longer the better). After applying the leave-in conditioner to wet hair, wrapping in a towel and waiting another 30 minutes or so before drying, I now have soft, shiny hair and my hair color looks better, brighter and fab. Really. It's the price that is ridiculous.

Bought this with a $2 coupon after reading it's comparison to Giorgio Armani's silk foundation. Well Ugh to Giorgio's (I forgot I had bought that last year and given it away). And Ugh to CoverGirl natureluxe. 1) sunscreen should be minimum 15 SPS, this is 10. 2) Too thick and dries fast. So I ended up using a sponges with some moisturiser on it to blend. 3) I swear it looked much lighter after it dried. IF you must have this product, go two shades darker than you think is correct. This might work better on oily skin but I'm just guessing here. This will be going to a friend to try.
