Review- Influenster YSL Voxbox

I received these products free from Influenster, to try and review! Enjoy... If you reviewed it as well, leave me a comment on how you felt about the two products!

 

TOUCHE ÉCLAT BLUR PERFECTOR
This multi-action powder-in-balm perfector, acts like an invisible foundation: visible pores appear minimized, skin feels smoother and complexion looks more uniform. The invisible, weightless new generation balm texture leaves skin feeling silky-soft. 

In actuality, it plays pretty nice with my skin. It doesn't appear to cling to dry patches and it doesn't have a dry feeling on the skin. The balm is mostly colorless, so it would work with any skin tone, but it does have a slightly pink-y hue that helps to brighten the skin just a tad.

In terms of softening imperfections, it does a really nice job of filling in pores and softening fine lines. It's not a miracle worker, of course, but it does give the skin a smoother appearance for sure.

YSL suggests three ways to use it -- all alone instead of foundation, over makeup to set it, and throughout the day as to help mattify and blur imperfections.

Personally, my favorite way is to wear it all alone on days when I'm not really wearing much makeup beyond mascara and tinted lip balm. It helps make my skin look smooth and even, without adding unnecessary coverage, which is all I really want on days like those.

Touche Eclat Blur Primer

The idea of spreading big chunky glitter all over my face definitely isn't appealing.

And I didn't see how it would help blur anything because chunky glitter would only accentuate imperfections, wouldn't it?

The good news is, the glitter doesn't really translate to the face.

You can see subtle flecks of it after you apply the primer, but once you apply your foundation, they are practically invisible.

So while they're supposed to provide a illuminating effect, I don't really feel like the primer does much in that regard.

The primer has the traditional silicone-y feel of most primers, but it does have a slightly hydrating feel as well -- it contains various oils to help smooth and soften the skin.

Personally,  Love it but not enough to by a bottle at $52

Combining both products together was pretty great. But overall, the blur perfector won my heart!
