See, YSL’s got this whole vibe of, like, effortless chic meeting cutting-edge science. They’re throwing around words like “high-care formula” and “80% smoothing lip care base concentrated in ceramides, tuberose & prickly pear extracts,” which, let’s be real, sounds fancy AF. It’s like, “Girl, your lips aren’t just getting color, they’re getting a spa day!” Then they just have this “Proteção.” Like, what are you protecting? Your pout from evil? Is it sunscreen for your lips? I’m confused.
But then you see the “Effortless glide for a high precision foolproof application in one swipe.” And *that’s* where the high precision part comes in, I think. It’s the promise that even if you’re a total klutz (like me, most days), you can still achieve a flawless, runway-ready look. It’s that magic wand effect, right? Like, suddenly *I* can draw a perfect winged liner with that “ultra-thin tip eyeliner with an intense and deep black vinyl finish for a boldly flawless look.” (Yeah, I just copied that straight from the text. Sue me. It’s good copy!)
And then, out of nowhere, we get “YSL Machining LLC” in the mix. What? Is YSL making precision parts now, too? What’s going on? I mean, maybe they’re diversifying. Maybe they’re secretly building robots that apply lipstick perfectly. (Okay, I’d actually buy that.) Or maybe it’s just some random thing that somehow got lumped into the same pile of YSL stuff online. Who knows? The internet is a strange and wonderful place.
Then there’s the Touche Éclat High Cover. They’re saying it’s an illuminating concealer that’ll get rid of your uneven skin tone in *seconds*. That’s a big claim! I’m skeptical, but also, a little hopeful. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just erase all imperfections with one swipe of a magical pen? I’d be all over that.
