YSL Forever Light Creator CC Cream Colour Corrector in Apricot | Review

Hey everyone! I wanted to do a full review on the YSL Forever Light Creator CC Cream Colour Corrector in Apricot. I featured this in my very first Project 10 Pan blog post and finally purchased the full sized version at the L'Oreal Warehouse Sale with the intention of writing an entire dedicated review on this specific beauty item.

Benefits & Claims

This is the very first CC cream by YSL and they have integrated the GlycanactifWT complex that helps to correct the appearance of skin colour irregularities to help emphasize each person's glow. This is a colour corrector and the apricot helps to correct uneven skin tone. This claims to be a lightweight and refreshing formula that has colour correcting pigments that helps to even the skin for a natural radiant effect. They go on to claim that in just one week, the skin's appearance has visibly improved, the skin's texture looks refined, pores will look minimized and imperfections will have been reduced. It goes on to say that over time, your skin will discover an exceptional radiance with a unified tone. They claim that it is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.

How To Apply & The Packaging

The packaging suggests to apply evenly all over the face as the last step of your skincare routine, but I either mix it in with my primer or my foundation depending on how I'm feeling that day and which products I'm using. You can even mix it in with your moisturizer because a little bit of this product goes a long way. It also says that it can be worn under makeup. I really like the squeeze tube but the two stickers that let you know that the shade is Apricot look rather cheap on the YSL packaging. The tube itself looks to be iridescent and I love squeeze tubes because you can ensure that you are getting all of the product out that is inside the tube.

Where To Buy, Price & Size

For the longest time, you couldn't get this product in Canada. When it finally launched at Sephora, I couldn't justify the hefty price tag at $75 for 40 ml of product. I finally caved in at the sale and picked it up for $45. It also comes in Rose which helps to reduce dullness as well as to help with tired-looking skin and it is made in France.

Is It Worth The Splurge?

I could be wrong but the reason why I think I got mine for such a discounted rate is because that the new YSL CC Cream has an SPF of 35 and they are advertising it as a CC Primer. I don't care either way because I use SPF every single day and it does the same thing that I want it to do anyway. Also, they should really have more options than just two in Rose and Apricot. However, I really enjoy using this product and it is obviously more of a high-end, luxurious face product. You definitely don't need it in your makeup collection but I enjoy using it and it's perfect to use in Spring as well as Summer for more of a luminous, glowy look. My favourite way is to mix some of this in with my BB Cream to get a radiant, glowing look or to mix in some with my foundation to get that glowing from within look. This tube will last me quite some time due to it's size and the packaging makes it easy to travel with.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
