La Vie en Rose - YSL Rose Glow Collection

I am going to be perfectly honest here and admit that when I first saw the three items I'm reviewing here from Yves Saint Laurent's Rose Glow Collection I just squealed with such girlish excitement and put all of them on together immediately... It wasn't my finest moment! I can safely say it's the most beautiful makeup collection I have ever come across. It's just so wonderfully feminine before you even start using it but the best bit is that when you put it on it's a million times better. Prepare to glow!

Let me just say from the outset that the traditional Touche Éclat is a classic and is on every single beauty must have list for so many years for a very good reason. It livens up the dullest parts of the dullest complexion and just works wonders on its own or with other makeup. I absolutely love it and haven't always been able to afford it once I get through another tube of it so when this collection came with a rose gold version of the traditional Touche Éclat I was intrigued and excited. And for good cause! It might even be better than the original and just leaves you with this lovely, subtly rosy illuminated glow.

Blush Up!

Cream blush adds the perfect pop of colour to the palest of faces on the drabbest of days and is such a great tool to create a rosy glow in seconds leaving an appealing flush however your feel underneath.

There is a certain stigma attached to blusher. Since there are so many products on the market to counteract skin redness why would you buy a product that creates it? But the flush of colour you can create and control with blusher is very different from unwanted skin redness. But the best thing about blusher, especially cream blush, is that when using it with a good foundation you can control the pinky glow leaving the healthy looking colour where it works best.
