Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter

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...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Timeless fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent

Advantages: Timeless classic
Disadvantages: Day rather than evening perfume

...Pedigree Perfumes come and go. Many these days in bottles far more interesting than their contents. And manufacturers try and think up more and more marketing gimmicks. But, nearly 40 years on from its invention, Rive Gauche is still going strong. The Name Rive Gauche, which means "Left Bank" in French, was created a few years after the student demonstrations and riots in Paris, and Paris's Left bank has always been associated with artistic types, chic intellectuals, youth with a passion for politics and romance. So- the name was of its time. The Scent What's really nice about Rive Gauche is the fact it is a fresh, uniquely floral fragrance with top notes of bergamot, ylang ylang and freesia. With hints, also, of rose and jasmine. It is not "in you face" hasn't got that horrid chemical scent you get...

Just One Spray

Advantages: very popular, nice smell, great packaging
Disadvantages: none

...Rive Gauche is a very strong perfume and definitely one for the evening. It is by Yves Saint Laurent and is very popular, many people I know wear it. Even after YSL bringing out many new perfumes none seem to beat this one. I have tested out some of the recent ones but still do not like any of them as much as this. Thi perfume could be worn in day but I think it is for night. It comes in different measures but I have the 50ml bottle which is around £26+ I am not too sure. The smell is hard to describe, I would probably describe it as flowery but very strong. You do not need to wear lots of this fragrance so one spritz would be enough. This stays on very well so you do not need a lot on for this reason too. One thing I love about the perfume is the packaging it is very posh and luxurious. This has a very classy look with the blue...

Yves Saint Laurent Exfoliator

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...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Natural Action Exfoliator

An excellent present UPDATED

Advantages: Lovely fragrance, good range of products
Disadvantages: Possibly expensive?

...If you're looking for a perfume to buy as a present for a lady of any age - then look no further than Rive Gauche by Yves St Laurent. There is a wide range of products from which to choose so you can spend as much or as little as your wallet will allow. The fragrance itself is quite light and not too overpowering so it is equally suitable for wearing during the day or during the evening. It also means that it would be an excellent choice of gift for someone whose tastes you weren't quite sure of. The design of the packaging and the containers holding the perfumes and powders are all a distinctive blue, silver and black, which makes them instantly recognisable as Rive Gauche. The 50ml eau de toilette spray currently costs £26 in the Empire Stores catalogue, but I would imagine that it could be bought more cheaply at one...

Yves Saint Laurent Cinema Body Lotion

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...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Cinema Velvety Body Lotion

bad concealer

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: over priced, poor quality

...I have used L'oreals touche magique concealer for many years, but decided to try Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter as a lot of people have said how good it is. When I first applied it, it did not seem to cover up dark circles half as good as the concealer I currently use. The packaging and pen its self does look good, it is very easy to apply and does look better compared to not wearing any concealer or highlighter at all. This product in my opinion is poor value for money, compared to other products on the market, that do a much better job of concealing and highlighting that are half the price. I believe that you are paying for the name rather than the quality of the product....

Let there be light

Advantages: light consistency, actually works!
Disadvantages: expensive

...I thought I'd summarise first: top of the range concealer, expensive but worth it, outstanding product. ******** This excellent product has been recommended to me over and over by friends, colleagues and clients (I'm a beauty therapist). It's very pricey - around £20 - but many beauticians and make up artists rate it as their number one make up item. In a rather elegant gold 'pen' style dispenser, Touche Eclat is a very lightweight concealer which is particularly helpful around the eye area. When it was first introducted, Yves Saint Laurent ran out regularly and it was only obtainable via a waiting list. I had tried loads of products to get rid of dark circles around my eyes which made me look like I needed a good night's sleep. Most are too heavy, drag the skin and wear off quickly...
