Advantages: does the job
Disadvantages: expensive

...Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat has become known as the best highlighter money can buy, and that's not without reason. Yes, the brand name and packaging are appealing, but it's the miracle inside the shiny gold tube that you're paying for. And believe, me it's worth the money. Before Touche Eclat, Yves Saint Laurent was not particularly well-known for its make-up line. Whilst many designer cosmetics are more style than substance, this is not true for Touche Eclat, which is more than a side-project for a major fashion house. This product works as both a concealer, covering dark under-eye circles and as a highlighter, to accent areas such as cheekbones. The reason why it works so well is that it contains light reflecting particles with give your skin a natural, radiant glow, whereas other concealers and cover-ups effectively just... Read review

Advantages: I like the look of the tube
Disadvantages: It didn't exfoliate my skin, expensive

...I bought some Yves Saint Laurent products a while ago and I got this 'YSL Instant Pure Natural Action Exfoliator' for free. The tube I got was a 15ml sample size. It looks exactly like the larger tube, just in a smaller size. The tube is a really simple design. It is made from quite rubbery, see through white plastic which is really easy to squeeze and makes it easy to get the liquid out. At the top of the tube it has 'INSTANT PUR' in black letters and then it has the name of the exfoliator in French, and then in English 'Natural Action Exfoliator Granule Free' and then at the bottom of the tube 'Yves Saint Laurent' The tube has a white plastic screw top, which means that you get it all sticky when you try to close it after you have applied the exfoliator! This particular exfoliator is granule free. For me this kind of ruins... Read review

Advantages: Smells divine! Nice design
Disadvantages: Can be quite overpowering paired with the perfume, a bit oily

...The perfume Cinema from YSL is one of my favourite perfumes so I thought I would buy the body lotion to match it. The smell of this is just absolutely lovely, exactly the same as the perfume. It has a good long shelf like of 15 months so it is ok if you don't use it everyday as it will keep. The design of the bottle is really attractive and simple. It is a pure white plastic rectangular shape with the words 'Cinema' written across the front in gold letters and 'Yves Saint Laurent' written across the bottom of the bottle. The bottle comes in a 200ml size and costs £28 from Debenhams. You can find it in a few of the high street shops such as Boots, Debenhams and John Lewis, and it is widely available on the internet, so it is not hard to get a hold of. This is a good lotion for applying all over your body to make you feel... Read review

Advantages: enhances your persona, sexy, lasts all day
Disadvantages: expensive approx £12

...Yves Saint Lauren has brought out so many wonderful products, yes they are costly but I believe if you invest into an expensive product it will last a great deal longer - and also make you feel a lot more special while wearing it. I cannot go anywhere without my Yves Saint Lauren lipstick, its a lovely rouge colour that highlights my lips perfectly - at least I think so. I've tried many different makes, ranging from the cheap to the more expensive, and without a doubt I'll always buy the Yves Saint Lauren. I was a student when I first started buying it and quickly realised the more you pay the longer it lasts so a friend and I decided to test the theory. Needless to say I won and to this day I still wear the Yves Saint Lauren brand. Its not just a lipstick, it enhances your persona and builds your confidence and lasts all day.... Read review

Advantages: nice packaging and bottle design, nice scent
Disadvantages: poor staying power

...Yves Saint Laurent Elle is a fragrance which was released by YSL in October 2007; as well as the perfume you can also purchase other YSL Elle fragranced bath and beauty products which also help to layer and compliment the scent of the perfume. People who have dry skin and find that the perfume doesn't have particularly good staying power on them would benefit from using the complimentary shower gel and body lotion before applying the perfume as this would gave the scent a base to layer itself upon therefore increasing the longevity of the perfume fragrance. All peoples skin types are different and perfumes, body lotions, shower gels etc act differently on each individual because of the different oils in our skin. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle of YSL Elle is supplied in a tall think bright pink... Read review
