YSL Le Teint Touché Éclat Foundation


As my hunt for the perfect foundation continues, I thought I would try Le Teint Touché Éclat by YSL ($55).  

For a girl like me, who likes her foundation to look natural and radiant this seemed like the perfect match.  It claims to be an illuminating foundation that evens out your complexion and conceals imperfections while enhancing your skins natural beauty.  


I'm in love with the finish this gives my skin, it looks so radiant without being shiny.  The weightless formula of this foundation blends into your skin like a dream.  It definitely evened out my complexion, however I don't see this totally concealing all imperfections.  The coverage kind of reminds me of a tinted moisturizer, but better.  The shade range is great, which I totally didn't expect since most luxury makeup brands don't have many colors suited for darker skin.  I wear the shade B40 and it's almost a perfect match for my skin.  I can totally see this becoming a new favorite of mine for an every day foundation because of how natural it looks on me. 

Definitely check out this foundation if you are in the market for a new foundation to give your skin a beautiful natural radiance.  

Love yours truly,
Lahini

Review: Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Mouisturizer


Say hello to my new morning moisturizer!  The Origins Ginzing Energy-boosting moisturizer ($26.50) is like a cup of coffee in the morning but for your skin.  Although I don't drink coffee (gasp! I know I know what is wrong with me? Maybe one day...), I imagine it does the same thing after watching my friends who can't function without their morning coffee.  It really makes your skin look awake and radiant!


What it claims to do:
"This lightweight, oil free, skin energy drink, fortified with legendary skin-boosters like Panax Ginseng and Coffee Bean, jumpstarts hydration levels.  Lackluster-looking skin is rapidly refreshed and revitalized to create a healthy, vibrant glow."

Does it live up to the claims?  Yes!  This moisturizer has a gel formula that is definitely lightweight and gives your skin a healthy glow.  Oh, and did I mention it smells like oranges?  That citrus scent definitely wakes me up in the morning!  My skin just looks so healthy after applying this I'm totally in love.  It has replaced my Clinique gel moisturizer (sorry Clinique!) that I had been using for the past couple years.  

This is my very first Origins product and I have to say I'm more than pleased with it.  If you aren't familiar with Origins, they are a line of natural skincare products that are formulated without parabens or phthalates, and are cruelty free!  I'll definitely be trying more products from them.  

Love,
Lahini
