Yves St laurent Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation

When this foundation first came it was surrounded my much anticipation and hype in the beauty world, so naturally I went out I went and got a sample from my local YSL counter. Quite honestly the sample lasted me about a month (it was a very generous sample, which I thought was brilliant). It meant I had time to really see how my skin reacted and check the colour (B40) was right. I fell in love with this foundation after the first wear!! Here is why:

Le Teint Touche Eclat in shade B40

1: Its coverage can be what ever you want it to be! If you apply a tiny amount it can be fairly light, but if you add a little more it is definitely medium to full buildable coverage (I use 2 pumps).

2: It lasts  a good 10 hours on my skin, which to me is amazing!!! My makeup always ends up half way down my face, but not with this!

3: There is a really wide range of shades to choose from, which for someone as pale as me, is brilliant!

4: The packaging is sleek and feels very expensive. 

As you can see once I finished my sample, I went and brought a full sized bottle. I have been using this for about 2 months now, so I can honestly say its brilliant (and I have hardly used any). I find it covers my acne scarring really well but doesn't look cakey in the slightest. The finish is slightly dewey but still slightly matt (does that even make sense)! 

On buying this I also rediscovered my old trusty favourite YSL Touche Eclat. I used to use this all the time from the age of about 17 till I was 23 ( I dread to think how much I spent on them)! I don't actually know why I stopped using it, although I'm guessing it was the cost. Anyway, together these 2 are amazing and compliment each other beautifully. I can honestly say no matter how tired and dull my complexion looks before hand, this stops it in its tracks!! 

Le Teint Touche Eclat in shade B40 and the original Touche Eclat highlighting pen in shade 2 .

So have you tried either of these? If so what do you think, has it caused your skin any problems? How long do they last on your skin?! I would love to know.

Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation costs around £28.00 and the original Touche Eclat pen costs around £22.
