Beauty: Yves Saint Laurent Blusher

I bought this blusher at Loreal Group Outlet at Livingston Designer Outlet (next to Ted Baker outlet). I was looking for natural shade and the closest shade that I could find is this one by Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). Powder Blush in Radiant Blush (number 7). I forgot how much this blusher cost but I reckon it was around 15-18 pound (outlet price not the RRP). At the outlet, because of the nature of the product, you cannot return the purchased item. So, make sure that you really, really, really sure with your choice of color :)

As the brand suggested, the product itself is full of luxury. I came in small golden case with mirror along with velvet pouch and a small brush. I did try using the brush but I prefer using my blusher brush as the brush is bigger and more accurately blending the color. But I guess if you're going out and need touch-ups, I guess the wee brush might come handy.


This blusher only came with 2 colors; white and pink. But YSL arranged it as four quarter with diagonal setting. So you can get a good mixture of colors. Color-wise, it is not that natural although the color seemed to be a little bit pale - white+light pink! It is because blusher has glitter. I didn't realize it during the swatch test but when I opened it at home, I just noticed the shimmering effects. What?! But after carefully applying it on my face, the shimmering effect was not that loud... And instantly I fall in love with this blusher. I did try taking pictures just checking the how strong the color was, and the color excelled in flying colors! Yeay!!! So, I can wear this blusher during day time... The pearly white shade is also great for highlighting your nose and eyes. But don't apply to much as your face will shine as if you're having an oily face...

I'm not really recommended this product. Just so and so. You guys can get the same effects from another brand with cheaper option. I bough this simply because of the price slashed. Nevertheless, it is a fairly good blusher. 

My verdict:
Price : 3/5
Colour: 4/5
Application: 4/5
Reliability: 4.5/5
Overall experience: 3.5/5
*this verdict was based on the price of the outlet, not the RRP.
