YSL Forever Light Creator CC Cream

YSL Forever CC Cream

YSL have dipped their toe into the CC Cream pool.

Now, I don’t have a huge amount of experience with CC Creams but the ones I have tried have done pretty good things to my skin; lots of brightening, correcting skintone action and so on, and happily, this one from YSL is no different.

The formula has colour correcting pigments which aim to reduce the look of pores, even out the skintone, improve texture and through the three different shades, increase radiance.

The three shades available are Apricot, Rose and Lavender. The idea behind the differing shades is that you can select a certain one to achieve a particular look to your skin. So for example, Apricot adds a golden glow to the skin, Rose adds a rosy glow and Lavender adds an overall brightening effect.

I went for Apricot as the pigmentation on my face is quite obvious at the moment so it needs brightening yellow tones to make it look better 🙂

Here it is in action;

YSL Forever CC Cream Apricot

I have no other products on my skin here apart from the CC Cream. Pretty good, eh? It evens out my skintone, reduces redness and adds a nice bit of glow. I love that I can slap this on in the morning and be done immediately. No concealer, no foundation and no powder, hurrah! Other things I like about it; the super sleek packaging, the high level of SPF (35) and the thin liquid formula.

The three shades are available now from YSL counters in the GCC or online here.

Are you using this one at the moment? Or any other CC Creams? Let me know in the comments!

Here are nine books I’m going to read by the end Here are nine books I’m going to read by the end of September 🤞 
If you have any great book recommendations please share them below, and I’ll continue to share on Stories when I’ve finished a good one (I’ve just ordered a few more Ruth Ware books after finishing The Turn of The Key last week - it was excellent 👌🏼). 
I made a deal with myself to read more in the coming months as it’s something I’ve always loved, but haven’t made much time for of late. 
To try and keep track of what I’ve read and what I’d like to read I set up a @goodreads account (and I signed up for their reading challenge, too) so feel free to join me ❤️

This is the new approach I’m taking with my conc This is the new approach I’m taking with my concealer at the moment. I’m tired of creasing and I don’t really like using powder as I prefer a dewy under eye, so here’s what I’m doing 👇🏻 

I focus only the inner corner and side of the nose as this is where many of us have blue-toned shadows and darkness. I use a tiny amount of corrector first to balance the blue tones, and then a tiny amount of concealer on top of this. 

They key is tiny amounts, thin layers and really working it in to the skin. It brightens and smooths just enough, but so little product is used that there’s no issues with creasing. 

Try it yourself and let me know what you think?
