Hey everyone! So I got quite a few things recently from Chanel & YSL. Most of the products purchased was from the Spring 2013 collection but there are some items that were not & I will mention it when I discuss a particular product! Lets get started!
The three photos above are of the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stains.
I got the color 18 Rose Pastelle
Packaging: YSL is known for the stunning and luxurious packaging so yes I loved it. Very simple & elegant.
Pigmentation: The product applies as a lipgloss but it does give your lips a light tint which is nice. I got a very natural shade from the collection and have seen more of the darker colors worn and yes they are very pigmented.
How it lasts: I had to reapply this product maybe every two hours or so depending if I was eating or drinking. The great thing about this product is that the gloss my be gone but the color of the stain still stays!
How it feels: This lipstain feels very smooth and soft on my lips. It doesn't move around on my lips and I love reapplying it.
Overall Grade: A

The Chanel Spring 2013 Illuminating Powder
I have talked about this product before in a post and I wasn't sure whether to pick it up or not..but trying in on in store made me cave to splurge on this cause it really is amazing.
Packaging: Hats off to Chanel for making such a beautiful highlighter and making a beautiful embossed powder with the little flowers and lipsticks. The packaging is hands down gorgeous and I sometimes catch myself just staring at the powder looking at all the little details!
Pigmentation: This light shimmery powder has just enough shimmer to give you that "candlelit" glow. I also love applying this under my brow on the bridge of my nose and my cupids bow!
How it Lasts: I have worn this many of times and I usually apply it in the morning and whenever I am out later in the day I can still catch that shimmer on the tops of my cheeks so I would say I would reapply this probably every 6 hours or so depending on your activity.
How it feels: I can't feel a thing because it is such a light powder!
Overall Grade: A
I would say if you guys are thinking about purchasing from the Spring Collection, this is it!
Chanel Powder Blush in No. 72 Rose Initale
Packaging: You the basic Chanel..nothing but classy :)
Coverage: I have never tried a Chanel blush before & I am hooked! In the packaging it looked so bright that just one sweep from my brush will make me look like a clown. The color of the blush is so soft and natural looking and you can easily build it to whatever color you want.
How it lasts: The color lasted all day giving me a bright healthy glow!
How it feels: When I swatched this blush I was surprised on how soft and silky it felt! When I wear it on my cheeks it feels nice and soft!

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in No. 12 Beige Rose
This foundation has been such a popular item on Youtube in the beauty community that I have been dying to try it!
Packaging: I like the packaging because it is compact and would be great to travel with!
Coverage: I like how this foundation has a light to medium coverage and is really easy to build!
How it lasts: I have worn this foundation all day and only had to blot once on my t zone around 5 or 6 which is fine. It doesn't turn cakey and it looks like my skin is healthy and glowing.
How it feels: I love this foundation because it feels so light and soft! I like the liquid-y consistency and it feels like I have nothing on my skin!

Chanel Long Lasting Eyeliner in 102 Beryl
This Spring 2013 eyeliner is beautiful to wear on the waterline to give your eyes nice glow and is a nice switch from wearing white or nude liners.
Packaging: Nothing to complain about with the packaging.
Pigmentation: I do wish though that the pigmentation on this eyeliner was a little more. Because I think that when on the waterline it will give my eyes a nice subtle pop. There is a slight pigment but it is difficult to tell.
How it lasts: I would have to reapply this maybe every few hours or so but I had a difficult telling if it was still there or not from the color.
How it feels: The eyeliner itself though swatched and applied is very soft and creamy. I don't have to tug my skin and just glides onto the skin.
Overall Grade: B
Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lipcolor in 43 La Favorite
This bright coral color immediately caught my eye and I was so excited to get it on my lips!
Packaging: Chanel recently changed their packaging and I love the new design! It is so simple and innovative!
Pigmentation: I applied this lipstick with a lip brush to control how bright I wanted my lips to be. The color is nice subtle pop of coral that brightens my face. I haven't tried it straight out of the bullet but I don't think it will be too intense against my skintone.
How it lasts: I had to reapply this lipstick more when I ate or drank but other than that it lasts for a long time!
How it feels: I love Chanel lipsticks on how they just go onto the lips like silk. It makes my lips feels nice and soft!
Overall Grade: A-
(This product is apart of the Spring 2013 collection)
Chanel Powder Blush in 76 Frivole
When I first saw this blush I was a little nervous because it is such a bright color in the packaging but Chanel blushes always fool me and are always a perfect amount of color in one stroke.
Packaging: Simple blush packaging from Chanel.
Pigmentation: This blush if applied just once has a nice subtle color but can be easily build able.
How it lasts: I didn't have to reapply this blush until much later in the day. No complaints. :)
How it feels: Very soft and silky and feels like I have nothing on my cheeks.
Overall Grade: A
YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in 12 Tasty Raspberry
I was so excited to try this because sometimes I like to wear a subtle balm with very little color and when I found out YSL released a new collection of all balms I immediately wanted to pick up one!
Packaging: Your typical YSL packaging....beautiful!
Pigmentation: This balm a a very subtle light pink that looks beautiful on the lips.
How it lasts: I would have to reapply this every hour or so depending again what I was doing. But I don't have a problem reapplying it because it feels like butter on the lips!
How it feels: Like silk :)
Overall Grade: A+
I don't have a ton of cream blushes and I do like the look of them more than powder because it looks more natural and effortless.
Packaging: Beautiful!
Pigmentation: This bright candy pink color is beautiful and has a nice pop of color that can be buildable!
How it lasts: Since this blush is a cream, I didn't have to reapply it like a powder which I enjoy when I don't have time.
How it feels: It blends beautifully into the skin and feels so soft!
Overall Grade: A
Well I hope you guys enjoyed this HUGE haul and review! You guys can get these products at any high end department store! I got mine at Nordstrom!
