YSL Discussion Thread

[ashievic]

I am going for the foundation full face, with the YSL pen to cover up dark circles and stuff. Yesterday I tried the touchup after I had makeup on for about 8 hours. Will report back, as to how much coverage it really has, and how long it lasts. Going back to stupid hot as in it is 113 there today. Then off to the North woods, where it is 70 today. So will see how it works in stupid hot and where is summer climate....

is it hydrating? i would think it should be glowy hydrating kind of a thing since it should go with TE foundation 

It seemed hydrating but not oily. My skin tends to get shiny, which makes "glow" products problematic, but this one didn't give me any issues.

My first thoughts on the primer and weird stuff. The primer is shine, shine, shine. I did let it dry, as in I put it on and put on the bottom potion of my clothes. So it had to set for around 4 minutes. The weird stuff. No coverage at all. It is like putting setting powder over your primer. Which I guess that is what is really is a setting powder.

I ended up having to start over again. So, the weird stuff gives the result of the balls. Subtle shine. I used the Artis 6 oval brush to apply. It feels nice, but I would not purchase again. The primer, it feels sort of greasy, but after it sets, it is OK, not great. But heck, after I use it more, perhaps it will grow on me. Right now, I would say I am not impressed. Except it is still cool the way it turns into powder. How do they do that????

Does anyone have experience with the Matte Radiance Pressed Powder? I'm really interested in ordered it during the sale but can't decide which color to go with and there is very little info about it online. It only comes in 3 shades(2 Pink Sand, 3 beige, 4 Pink Beige). I'm looking to use it as a setting powder over my foundation during the summer.

No I didn't! I looked for a while but there wasn't anything I wanted!! (

) I already got the eye tints from sephora during chic week and few pieces from maharajah collection form NM!!

Same here---tried but came up empty. It shouldn't be that way---I usually have something in mind. If I have to dig
deep like that It's just not happening.

Today I will use the blur primer, and then the weird stuff and let you know how it goes. Yes day when I played with it. It removed my foundation I had on. But it was awesome how it did become powder is a nano second!!! They do have specific instruction on the back of the box for apply several ways. I am going to try the all over application first.

You crack me up Ash!!! I used the primer today and it is beyond silky soft. I allowed it to rest before putting on my foundation and the appearance is flawless. I find the "weird stuff" a tad confusing
and based on those who have used it over their foundation share your experience----it removes the foundation.

Can I just admit that I'm ordering The blur compact aka "weird stuff" just for the pink packaging It has the same balm powder formula as the Saharreine bronzer balm from the summer collection and that stuff isn't that user friendly. It can look really pretty IF done right, otherwise it balls up, settles into pores like nobodies business and comes off on your fingers in this weird powdery balm texture if you touch your face. It's actually sort of gross if you overdo it lol I don't think I'm going to love the blur Perfector, unfortunately, but they lured me in with the packaging! Ugh!

SURE!!! If I can admit that I was also smitten by the pretty pink compact!!!

​I just put the perfecto on and I pressed patted it into my face to avoid disturbing my
makeup. I focused on areas that exhibited some shine & it resulted in a matte look. I used the primer for the first time today and I'm oilier than usual.

Thanks for understanding! Only you and the other ladies on here would understand such a thing I think your approach is key, pressing the balm in! I do look forward to trying it and playing around with it, although I don't see myself really reaching for it after the novelty wears off

Weird stuff, I have found the best way to apply is to use your fingertips and apply like foundation onto your face. It is like a setting powder for the T zone as the directions show it is. As for replacing foundation not for me. I am less then thrilled having to smear the top of the weird stuff with my fingertips, but it seems the only way to get a good application.

I prefer the sponge applicator that came with it, and again, I pressed in onto my face in gentle patting motions. Ash I agree---this stuff is weird but I will use every bit of
it!!! I'm not so sure about the primer---I'm sitting here like a little glow light!!! I will definitely try the primer again tomorrow to see if the old oil slick effect returns. Did you
experience that at all?

Just ordered Majestic Rose perfume and Opium Persan Rouge Volupte gloss. I wanted another mono shadow but couldn't remember which one I liked and online swatches are scarce. I got the primer and lipstick for freebies but I think I have that lipstick already. I have a #340 but it looks like the same color. Maybe it was renumbered.

will be in stupid hot tomorrow, will let you know how it goes in 114 temps.

I hope you love your fragrance ICL. Sounds like a nice haul!!! That lipstick is so adorable. The color is outrageous---in a very good way!! There's a # 34 on the bottom.

Yes, it was an oil slick. I am remembering this was first released in Europe in winter. Which I am thinking a cold winter's night, and just a touch of sparkle perfect for a party look. But for everyday, I am thinking this needs to take a long summer nap and come back in October. Weird stuff is just HTF does it do that??? As turn into such a soft powder??? It worked great for the T zone today. Which did seem worse, I rarely have this. So I am thinking the primer played a role in this. It was not hot here, as in maybe 75 today.

Did you get the taupe/grey one eye shadow??? It reminded me of Gray Fairy from Dior that was never sold here.

No. I decided to hold off on the shadow for now.

I'm going to try the primer again w/a few adjustments to see how it goes. Do you wear any products---like a moisturizer under your primer?

 

[ashievic]

I put on LeBlanc serum, then the 50 spf (lightly), then the primer. Unless it is winter, then I use a moisturizer too. I have found using the sunscreen I do get a more glow look. But I refuse to help the production of age spots on my face. On the weekends I only use the LeWeekend lotion, no serum. Will see how it goes today. The texture of this new primer reminds of something in the food industry, but I can't remember what yet. Or may Vaseline when it sits out in the suns. Wait, that is it, clear KY jelly!!!!! No it doesn't feel like it. Just looks like it.
