Yves Saint Laurent Top Secrets Flash Radiance Skincare Brush Review

I was a very lucky girl this Christmas, and received a lovely YSL gift set from my Nan. The set consists of three different YSL ‘cult’ products, and I have to admit, I have so far been extremely impressed. Out of the three products that are in the beautifully decorated box, it was the radiance primer that shocked me most with its impeccable quality and results. I am aware that if you buy the primer as an individual purchase, it comes with a brush, simultaneous to the one attached to the end of their radiance foundation. However, I feel that a lot of product would be wasted this way, and that the product would be difficult to apply. You only need a pea sized amount to cover the entire amount of your face.

I love how the formula is not hideously thick, and feels like a virtual film of air caressing your face as you apply the product. I simply use my fingers and blend outwards, concentrating on the inside of my face, where it is more common for oil to appear. I have to be honest, and say that when the make-up artist applied the primer to my hand in Boots, I noticed a much greater significant difference in the way that the lines on the back of my hand appeared, compared to how the product fills in the pores on my face. I do not notice much of a ‘smoothing’ effect like the product promises, but the wonder product does make my make up last all day. If it wasn't for the ridiculous price tag, I would buy it again and again! You can purchase the primer here.
