I forgot that I didn't give my review of YSL's new Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation. I've had it for several weeks, but only earlier this week did I decide to give it a whirl. My opinion? I'm not impressed. Here's why:
I thought that this new foundation would be similar to YSL's blush. No mess. It was rather messy. Also, I was under the impression that you just, "rolled" it over your face in the same fashion as a roll-on deodorant or used soft brush strokes to apply, never having to get the makeup on any other part of your body than your face. That wasn't the case. You have to squeeze the bottle then apply the foundation on to your hand and then apply it to your face as you normally would your regular foundation. So, you're still getting messy. I hate messy. I'm constantly in a hurry. I don't have time for messes. Additionaly, contrary to what the SA tried to tell me, it does feel heavy, not too too heavy but HEAVY, all-day-long. I don't like that feeling, like I'm walking around with clown's makeup on my face. Perhaps it would have felt even heavier if I would have applied a normal-sized amount. I applied it very conservatively, and yet I could literally feel it weighing on my skin all day . What an uncomfortable feeling indeed. I think I'll stick with my Erno Laszlo, thank you very much. Your blush and Touche Eclat can stay too YSL, just not your
UNperfect Touch.
That's basically what I bought today. A black BCBG sweater set, Bobbi Brown tweazers, (they were for Mom as I somehow lost hers)2 Bobbi Brown eyeliners in the little jar, ( I can't remember it's proper name) and 2 eyeliner brushes. I also bought some jewelry. I bought a hammered gold bracelet, a DKNY wide rhinestone studded watch, (for nights out), and a pair of Argento Vivo earrings. All in all a pretty good day. I wish that I could have shopped more, but I had to go home to get ready for my date with Hubby. The salesgirl at the Bobbi Brown counter said that the eyeliner that she recommended and that I subsequently purchased was smudge-proof and won't rub off during the day. I'll let you know what I think of this new eyeliner in the coming week. In her words, "You could swim with this and it won't come off." We'll see. I have decided to switch from using the Estee Lauder liquid eyleliner in the nailpolish-like bottle. I love Estee Lauder, but I hate the way that their liquid eyeliner completely disappears after only a few short hours and having to reapply the eyeliner 3 times a day. Hopefully the BB stuff will turn out to be just what I'm looking for.
