Very pretty! I just got to know that there will be new blushes because my counter is out of stock of most of the old ones. I like the second one from the left, the cool pink. I was looking for the old purple one at the counter but it was gone for good.

Has anyone tried the CC creme? I am thinking of getting the lavender. I got a sample of the rose and applied the whole sachet on my face, which was too much and my face was too pink. But I'm thinking I only need a bit. I also wonder if it will be ok to skip foundation and just apply the CC creme on lazy days.

Here's a short review I found.

Thanks for the suggestion! I heard about Lancome's version a few months back and have been waiting for it to pop up in stores. If this doesn't work, I'm off to try Tom Ford! This is a crazy year for foundation releases!

yes so many amazing new foundations ... chanel PLV is also great and dior is coming out with the new one called diorskin star and I have a feeling it will be the same concept

Not even a whisper. Looks like a beautiful red.

I purchased the Fusion Ink foundation from Neiman Marcus today (my local Sephora, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's aren't carrying this yet) and unfortunately, I ended up purchasing the wrong shade

. Based off online reviews and swatches, it sounded like BD40 (Warm Sand) would be the perfect match for an NC30. It's much too light though and when I compare it to NARS Punjab and Estee Lauder 2W2 Rattan (foundations I own), it's much too fair and pinky-beige vs. the yellow tones of NARS Punjab and EL 2W2.

Does anyone have experience with YSL foundations and can recommend a better color match for an NC30? I was actually debating between BD40 and B30 in store, so maybe B30, or even B40 or BD45 would be a better match. I made the mistake of only swatching it on my hand as I was in a rush (and in the store lighting, I was able to compare it to a swatch of Estee Lauder 2W2 and BD40 actually looked close!).

Thanks in advance for any help!

I wear B30 in TEE (but my skin oxidises all foundations (except Fusion Ink) so I'm somewhere between B30 and B40 in TTE) and B40 in the FUsion Ink. I would put myself at a NC25-27 shade range right now since I'm a little tanned and B40 is a hair too dark but I can use it so sheerly it can be a perfect match. TEE is designed to look lighter because of the highlights in it or something and the Fusion Ink is designed to be true to skin - according to the SA that gave me a sample. I would try BD45 - or you could try getting away with B40? I don't know how strong your yellow tones are if you're going for the BD.

I posted about this earlier in the thread. Looks like it's just a repackaging of an existing color - N9 Rouge Laque. Bloomies has the color listed: http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/yves-saint-laurent-glossy-stain-collectors-edition-couture-event-collection?ID=1085515&CategoryID=2921#fn=spp%3D4%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D1%26rid%3D%26spc%3D8%26cm_kws%3Dysl stain

Thank you so much, pnfpn! That's super helpful!

I will try out both B40 and BD45 .

Which shade did you get? I'm kinda confused which one I would need (because I really do need another setting powder) lol

 

[Monsy]

I got 02 since it leans more yellow. I am curently MAC nc20 but mostly NC15 , ysl bd10 if that helps

 

[whoadangjamie]

I went to the YSL counters today hoping to swatch the new foundation. Unfortunately, my local Nordstrom says they won't have it for sale until the 28th (although one can pre-sale now -- no thanks considering I see it online), Bloomingdale's hasn't yet received it, and Sephora doesn't have it available yet even though their site said that the store had inventory. Sephora did say though that it should be coming "very soon" so hopefully that means in the next few days! So curious about this foundation!

My Nordstroms was passing out sample jars of it - so maybe you can call and see if they're going to do that for you too?

 

[Sugar & Spice]

Yes my Nordstrom didn't have it to purchase but they had testers and was able to give samples from that.

Yup, that confirms why BD10 didn't work for me. I'm more like NC10/15. Frustrating, because I think the formula is nifty!

 

[Monsy]

have you tried B10? might be slightly lighter and less yellow

during winter I am like a ghost , NC 15 in studio fix fluid. That's when I bought BD10 and matches perfectly

 

[USCgirlie]

Thanks very much pnfpn, whoadangjamie, and Purple Popcorn! I ended up exchanging it at NM and found a pretty good color match with B30. Oddly enough, B30 is significantly darker and warmer than BD40 (this is my first time using a YSL foundation so the foundation color system seems a bit confusing). B30 is slightly light on me, but I think it'll look just fine with powder or liquid bronzer, and it'll be good for the winter time. B40 was darker and less warm so I passed on that. BD45 was significantly darker than BD40 as well and wasn't a good match, so B30 is it for me!

Thanks for all your help!

The problem is that I need it to be quite yellow. Most porcelain foundations are on the pinker or peachier side, which doesn't work on my yellow olive undertones. I blame my mixed ethnicity. Lol! But if I had to choose between darker or peachier, I'd probably choose the latter.

I believe that is # 9. Just repackaged. But I'm not positive.

I stopped at Saks yesterday and it is indeed #9. The MA was wearing it and it looked really nice on her. It is front and center in the display of new lipsticks and glossy stains and it says it is #9 so there is no mistake. I think the MA at Nordstrom told me it was one of their classics or most popular or something and that is why it is in the special packaging.

Got my Sephora package today (free 3-day shipping is worth spending enough to be VIB Rouge as far as I'm concerned- my previous orders could take up to two weeks!)

So far I love the new blush. I'm wearing it today to see how it lasts, but so far I can say that it's very well-pigmented, goes on smoothly and blends very well. One thing that I should mention is that I swatched it first to see the shades separately vs blended and the swatches weren't good. I find the same thing with Guerlain blushes- very difficult to get a swatch that looks decent, but with a brush on the cheeks, they're a completely different animal.

The two shades in #6 are a medium-deep warm rose that reminds me a little of a darker, pinker Nars Amour (one of my favourite blushes). The centre square is a light, shimmery peachy gold that adds a bit of warmth and a very subtle glow when blended. It's the sort of shade that looks healthy and alive when worn. I have to be a bit careful, because it's somewhat easy to overdo on my pale face, but luckily for me, blending it out repairs any "oops" pretty easily. I think this would be a good shade for deeper complexions than mine for certain.
