Review: Yves Saint Lauren Poudre Compacte Eclat Et Matite, Natural Light Pressed Powder

Yves Saint Lauren has always made beauty products that I have wanted to try, wanted to but, but unfortunately most of their designer beauty products are a bit too rich for my blood. In a bag filled with designer products given to me by my uncle though, I finally got the chance to try out a beauty product from Yves Saint Lauren! Yves Saint Lauren: Poudre Compacte Eclat Et Matite: Natural Light Pressed Powder!!!

Yeah, say that 3 times fast.

What is it?

Yves Saint Lauren: Poudre Compacte Eclat Et Matite: Natural Light Pressed Powder is just another huge name for pressed powder in a compact. The color that was included inside of the compact was Natural Light. I would of preferred a darker color, but to be honest after opening the compact up, and checking out the color in the palette, I must say that I imagined it would be perfect for oil zone touch ups during the day.

Packaging:

Yves Saint Lauren: Poudre Compacte Eclat Et Matite: Natural Light Pressed Powder comes in a very sophisticated looking compact. The compact itself is actually a gold colored metal, with the YSL logo etched into the front.

Inside of the compact you have of course the pressed powder, a mirror, and umm...where is the application brush? None in this one gals! Sorry!

No fear though, most women already have powder brushed. For those of you who don't, you may consider buying one, before investing in this $44.00 powder.

The Natural Light Pressed Powder which is located in a large palette inside of the compact actually has a really adorable heart shaped design etched into the powder itself. Surrounding the palette the powder is etched into what resembles tree bark.

I like this, because it reminds me of those rare finds I used to come across as a kid in the woods. You know, Johnny Loves Amy, carved out in the bark using a boy scout knife? Like that.

How Well Does It Work Though?

I've used puh-lenty of pressed powders in my time. Some that would promise the world, and offer crud. Others would promise close to nothing, yet would work wonders.
