Sephora F&F Haul + YSL Fails

Hello again!~
I wanted to quickly show you what I purchased from the Sephora Friends and Family sale. I was surprised that I only purchased two things, but I was very proud that I didn't buy any more stuff. I also wanted to share with you some of my recent YSL regrets. I purchased  two products which I returned because I disliked them.

From the Sephora F&F sale I purchased:

-Tokidoki Pittura Brush Set: 24K Edition ($42)

 

I love Tokidoki brushes because they are good quality and they are also super cute. They are usually reasonably priced as well. This set was more expensive than the original brush set, so I thought taking advantage of the 20% would be the best option. So far I love the brushes and I have made good use of all the brushes already. I will have a review once I have used them more. All I can say for now is that the brushes are really soft! The charms at the end are really cute, but they can be a little annoying since they made noises every time you use a brush. But you can always detach the charms.

-YSL Teint Resist Foundation ($55)

I was in a need for a new foundation, since my Skin79 BB cream is almost out. I have wanted to try this foundation  for some time, but the price was really staggering. With the 20%, it came out to be $11 cheaper. I got it in shade 03, but I think I should have gone with shade 02. The undertone of 03 is a little too pink for my skin tone. Either ways, it isn't a big deal because the foundation is kind of sheer so the color blends in with your natural skin tone really well. I find that I have to use about 3 pumps of the foundation because it is a rather sheer foundation, but also one pump is a really small amount. Although this is a light to medium coverage foundation, it actually covers redness and imperfections really nicely. I love the finish of this foundation and of how simply lightweight it feels on the skin. It is also has a REALLY nice scent of roses. Overall I am happy with the foundation at the moment. And the only thing I have to complain about is their limited selection of shades  :(

YSL FAILS

-YSL Rouge Volupte Pearl #108 Celestial Mauve ($34)

I really wanted to love this. I really did. I own another Rouge Volupte and I thought since I love that one, I should love this one too, right? Especially because it is such a beautiful shimmering mauve-pink color! So I loved the color, but the formula was horrid. Every time I applied it to my lips, it looked gross. It dried out my lips so badly, so my lips looked like a chapped mess. At $34, I was definitely not going to settle for anything that made my lips dry and gross looking. I returned it and I will be wary of any of the Rouge Volupte Pearl lipsticks.

-YSL 'Blush Radiance' Satin Blush in #03 ($45...yikes!)

This product was mostly a fail because of the price. It is was a really nice blush actually. I justified the price because it was a lavender blush (you should all know by now that I am obsessed with anything purple!). Unfortunately, on my cheeks it was just a satin pink color. To me, it looked exactly like MAC Well Dressed Blush on my cheeks. That defeats the purpose of spending so much money for something that should be a little more unique. Once I realized that the color was nothing special, it dawned on me how expensive the blush was! Not only for the color, but the blush is pretty small. I decided to return this as well and save the money for something better.

That will be all for today :D Hope you enjoyed.
