New Product!

I went to Sephora this week to return my Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation. I talked about that foundation in my previous posts, but after using it for a few more weeks...it just did not work out for my skin. The coverage was too sheer and the staying power did not last long enough for my super oily skin. My skin is oily all over, my T-zone and U-zone.

I walked in Sephora and this foundation was displayed directly at the entrance on a display box. It immediately caught my eye, but for $55, I didn't think I was going to splurge that much. A Sephora girl named Kristen assisted me in finding a new foundation. She sat me down and we tested out the new Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation. The pigmentation of the product was great, but it was too cakey for me. Kristen told me that the product is slightly more cakey than other foundations because they are formulated with 39% of pigments...which is a much higher concentration of pigments compared to other brands. That did not work out, so she let me try the YSL foundation that caught my eye on the display.

After she did a complete full face makeup for me, I was sold and decided $55 for a foundation is worth the investment. After all, I am applying the product on my face, so why not spend a little extra? The color I got matched me perfectly and had a yellow undertone which is what I love! The color is BD 50 (Beige Dore). Oh, I forgot to mention...this foundation is the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat (such a long name)!

The foundation claims to be have an illuminating effect with SPF 19. It is free of any opaque powders and reverses dullness and imperfections. So far, I have used this product twice and so far so good. The coverage is medium, with a demi-matte finish. I do find that my skin becomes oily after approximately 3 hours.

I will do a more in depth review after I test out the product a little more. I want to make sure it does not break me out. You can purchase this product at Sephora and other department stores that sell YSL products. I got mine at Sephora for $55.
