That sucks....I hope that you will receive it soon kimibos!

I just got the ysl foundation brush yesterday from Bloomingdales. It's gorgeous. I don't know why I have such a thing for brushes sometimes. I had started to pull away from flat foundation brushes, but when I use a cream foundation, it's perfect to just blend it out on my face.

Question! Did you place that order with the 15% off "EXCLUSIVE" discount? I placed an order on the 27th and haven't heard anything either.

       yes. ohh that sucks i better get it monday or even till wednesday. or ill cancel it. i order some mascaras from nordstroms already. money saved

I want to say that White Gold Amethyst is not permanent. I think it came out with YSL's holiday collection last year and it's still hanging around. I don't know for certain, though.

I got the sample of their new Touch eclat foundation, can't wait to try it.

I got my shipping notice for the order I placed Friday. That was only two days ago.

      lucky. im still waiting

I'd give them a call to check on it.

Thank you so much CartoonChic!

It might be hard to get here then...but I will check the online shops.Maybe I can still get it!

 

Curious to know what you think. I'm wearing it again today. There are a lot of things that I like about it, but I ultimately think it's just a little too "eclat" for my skin. Too bad, because the lightest shade is a decent match for my skin and is quite neutral, which I appreciate.

Katred i will be wearing it next couple of days and will let you know.

my mascaras finally shipped!! 

I can do a CP for you if you really want it and can't find it.

I'm really curious to know how you like them. I haven't tried a color mascara yet. I'm worried that you want see the color on my lashes. I've been tempted to try a drug store brand just to see how I like it, but then I think they may not be pigmented enough to see the color.

      i was tempted to get the maybelline ones too. but i figured the expensive ones where a better shot at getting colored lashes. ill be reviewing these and the dior ones. and if i have to return any of those, i will try the guerlain ones. 

I just left the Guerlain thread. It's too many great things coming out. I'm getting overwhelmed!

     hahaha i just went there, some guerlain palettes are hunting me!! 

Thank you very much

 

Douglas has it in stock and I will order it 

I got my YSL order earlier today. White Gold Amethyst gloss is gorgeous in the tube. I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to MAC and will compare it to Boyz Go Crazy. Belle De Rose RPC is also stunning. It wears like a MAC Satin in texture. I was afraid the color would be similar to MAC Rebel when I opened the tube, but it's not. Rebel has magenta tones. Belle De Rose is more red. I would describe the color as a maroon-mahogany shade.

 

I seem to have duped myself with the nail polish. I got Violet Baroque and it's nearly identical to Chanel Provocation. I knew I should've went with a completely different color like blue or gray. I wouldn't have a dupe for those shades. I was just drawn to that purple shade. At least I'm consistent in what I like. The new applicator brush for the YSL polish is huge! I'm not sure if I like it. I was going to exchange the polish for a different color, but I may end up exchanging for a different product if I can't deal with the brush.

 

I like the day planner GWP, but it's not what I expected. I thought it would be more like a daily planner/organizer. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Glad you're able to get it!

I tried a sample of the Touche Eclat foundation for a week and I'm kinda meh about it. I find it a little bit more watery that I care for though for once the colour match was perfect (I got Beige Rose 30). BAck to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Lancome Teint Miracle I go!

lancome teint miracle is my all time fav

but i do like YSL too and i bought it in shade beige dore 10 - perfect match for my light skin 

I take back what I said about the YSL nail polish brush. I actually like the larger applicator. It makes it easier to get a cleaner edge near the cuticle. I still need to exchange for a different color, though. I'm going to swatch in person first so I don't get any more dupes. I don't mind dupes of less expensive polish, but I like to have unique colors at higher price points.

i got the mascaras ill post pics in a second. i love the blue one but the purple one is mehh. its kind of better than wearing black mascara. and youll see why i say that. i have crazy lashes. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 <--- crazy eye!!

 

 

 sorry i haven't clean my eyebrows in a long time, and my eyeliner is gone. you can see the blue one is really blue and the purple is not bright as the blue its kind of dark purple. i think that im going to keep them both . i dont like black mascara because my lashes are too long and black mascara makes them look exaggerated. as you can see in the third picture they end where my eyebrows start. thats why i dont usually wear mascara. i know people like long lashes. but i not that happy with mine.i guess you always want what you dont have and vice versa. im going to take some pics during the day tomorrow. so you can see them with natural lighting.  

The colors are definitely visible. That's a great purchase. I'm adding those mascaras to my wishlist.

     and im not using a primer. im going to order one to see if they pop a little bit more.

Hi monsy, this is yellow toned, yes? What is your mac shade?

Ladycrhis yes it is, all dore shades are yellow toned. Beige dore 10 matches MAC's nc15/nc20

 

and katred I think it is too glowy for you. If i am not mistaken you do have some shine during the day? I do not, especially during the winter I am pretty dry that's why this works really good for me
