How do you like the YSL Touche Eclat? I'm thinking about picking it up this weekend and would love to know how you feel about it? I need an eye brightener. Not so much of a concealer, but just something to hide dark circles and make me look awake and fresh.

I've been using YSL Touche Eclat or a year, and I love it. I usually use it on top of concealer, but it's great on its own as well. I find it works best when I apply the product, let it sit for 30 seconds and then blend it in-- it provides better and more even coverage for me that way. I hope it works for you

You're welcome! I love it, and it's got good reviews on Makeupalley.

To the ladies trying the MAC Fafi line: I was looking at it online last night, and I'm intrigued. Any feedback?

Went to sephora and bought Too faced eyeshadow pots in blue and maroon. I am not loving it right now as it is going on very chalky despite having used Urban Decay primer

[bellabird]

Oh and OPI nail polish in Russian Navy. I really like the color.

Really?!

Are you talking about these:


or these:

???

I ask, because I love Too Faced shadows and I've never had a problem with the texture. Between all my palettes etc, I probably have ~12 different colors and all of them are silky. I never use a primer, though so maybe that's why

Thank you. I'm going to try it out this weekend. I really want something I can use by itself. I don't like to wear makeup everyday and I'm hoping this is going to be the product that works.

I really like the YSL Touche Eclat Highlighter! Just as everyone had claimed, it really does glide on smoothly; absolutely no caking and blends right onto the skin. I really only use a few tiny dots under the eyes so even though it is quite pricey (approx. $50) I definitely think it's worth it! With such little usage it will last a good several months!

The Primer seems OK so far - I haven't noticed a considerable difference yet since I've only just used it a couple of times. However, since I've never used a Primer before, all of a sudden I feel I am putting a lot of stuff on my face. Usually it's just: 1) Moisturizer 2) my usual thin layer of Shiseido Hydro-Liquid foundation powder (which I love) 3) Finishing Pressed Powder. Now I have to add another "layer of lotion" (Primer) after the moisturizer so it seems like a lot of stuff on my face. Plus, I need to give it a bit time for the Primer to dry. Anyhow, I'll re-evaluate it after another week or so - to see if it is really good.
