YSL Friends & Family Haul + Swatches & Comparison Swatches

YSL had there Friends & Family sale last week and I decided to take advantage of the 20% off of any order $75 or more and order some things I had been wanting to try out.

I ended up ordering Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara in shade #1 High Density Black, Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in shade #4, and Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #27 Rose Paris 

 Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara in High Density Black

Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in shade #4 (brush without product)

 Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in shade #4 (brush with product)

Rouge Volupte Lipstick in shade #27 Rose Paris

Touche Eclat #4, Rouge Volupte #27 Rose Paris

I immediately realized that this lipstick seemed pretty similar to some shades that I already own. 

See comparison swatches below...

 MAC Force of Love, MAC Watch Me Simmer, YSL #27, MAC Party Parrot

As you can see the shades above are pretty similar at a fraction of the cost. MAC lipsticks at $14.50 vs YSL lipstick at $34.00. I will try the YSL Rouge Volupte out and do a follow up review/update for you all. Want to see if the lipstick lives up to the hype. Hope you all enjoyed this post :)

Hautelook... French Connection Edition

 Frech Connection Stretch Cap sleeve Tops in Black/Cream & Cobalt/Black

FC Jag Stripe Dress in Multi-Utility Blue & Stretch Stripe Cap sleeve Dress in Navy/Love Red

Just a few pieces that I ordered from a recent Hautelook sale. I own a few French Connection dresses and I love them all. So whenever they have any sort of sale for this brand I always manage to order a couple. Majority of the time they sell out super quick, but I got lucky being able to get both shirts and dresses in my size.

Betsey Johnson Sandals & Clutch

On a recent visit to Tanger Outlets Deer Park, I decided to stop in Betsey Johnson to check out a few things. I love the gladiator look of the shoes, and was looking for a pair such as these, so I had to have them! And of course I couldn't resist this beautiful clutch... It's purple, which is my favorite color, and I just love that its shaped into a bow. Super funky! Came with a detachable strap as well, so it's able to be worn a couple of ways. I was happy I snagged these two at Outlet prices :)

Do you own any of Betsey Johnson pieces?
