Laura Loves Touche Eclat
“Is it a stroke of genius…or a stroke of magic? A little of both, Yves Saint Laurent ‘Touche Éclat’ Radiant Touch is the best highlighter/concealer I have ever used. For this fair-skinned, contact-wearing woman with dark undereye circles, it is a MUST. I actually look forward to getting ready for work now, knowing I will soon be applying my shade, #1 Luminous Radiance. Most highlighters go on smoothly, but don’t cover. Most concealers cover dark circles, but go on thick and settle in tiny creases I didn’t even know I had. This creamy luminous formula is the perfect hue, and it glides on and melts into my skin. I look younger. And rested. And fabulous. Any product that can take on and win this beauty triple crown is something I never want to be without.”

Good Lord, this lipstick is almost too unbelievably gorgeous.

What that lovely description means is that Strawbaby is a beautifully rosy lipstick, with the MAC lustre texture giving it a wonderfully moist (but not sticky or shiny!) look. The lipstick is versatile enough to be worn during both the day and the night, and it has very good staying power too.
