One of the items that I received was the YSL Touche Blush in #5 Black Current. I have never owned anything YSL, which is indeed a very elegant line of products.
This blush is a powder blush that is so luxurious and ultra-fine. The unique packaging of it combines the powder with a puff which is supposed to allow you to apply the powder with a "luminous and natural glow".
The net weight of it is 0.15 oz./4.5g. #5 Black Current is a beautiful dark berry color. Berry is a color that I used to use a long time ago but haven't used dark colors in recent years. It is very much pigmented and I think this would be lovely to wear when going out at night. The powder is indeed ultra-fine and glides on beautifully. I did have some problems applying it with the puff since I've used only brushes to apply any type of powders in years and years. I also think that my problem with using the puff is that it was the first time using it so it hasn't even spread throughout the puff. Personally I think that it's a huge waste of this luxurious powder blush to squeeze it into the puff as the puff is quite thick. I will open it up and use the powder sparingly. There is a lot of product in the container and since it's a dark color and highly pigmented, I will be using only a little at a time. This will probably last me for the rest of my life!
Thank you again Lisa for such a wonderful surprise!

Black Current looks fabulous on you!!! I can't imagine how such a dark colour will look on my cheeks, my blushes are all cutesy colours
Wow! I love it! I'm a sucker for cute packaging. And the color looks nice. Makes me wanna buy me some YSL blush =/
i wanted to buy this for my sister before. my elder sis is lazy when it comes to makeup so i thought this will help her get her blush without the fuss (lol it rhymed) but i agree, the sponge thingy is so thick it wastes a lot of precious powder pigments! long story short, i bought her the cream de blush instead and she finished it! :D
Lisa is super generous...like you! ;)
Indeed a lovely surprise to take your mind of things for a while. Please let us know how the situation is with your son and Nana-san. Praying that everything can only get better from now.
The blush is a beautiful colour on the cheek! I only have one YSL touche blush too, it's orange and sparkly! So I haven't used it much. When I do use it, I use it with the puff and I still have tonnes left!!!
Really like this rich colour on you! The sheen is pretty! Sorry I havent responded your email yet >_< Hopefully wil get back to you by today - you me and my gazillion email accounts >_< have a lovely weekend Kathy!
I think this colour looks beautiful on you! I'd hardly ever tried to use YSL and now I'm wondering why!
Lovely gift and look!

Thank you everyone! It really is a luxurious blush and so highly pigmented!
I had a dinner to go to tonight and I used this blush. I thought that I had applied only a little to my brush but it was still way too much so I ended up with clown cheeks!!! I used a cotton ball to try to pick up any extra color and then used Guerlain Meteorites Pearls to try to tone down the color. I haven't used the Meteorite Pearls at all since I got it except to swatch it once. I'm so glad that I thought about using it because it did help.

berry colored blushes brings sophistication to a makeup look <3 I'm interested in the blush product design here, but i imagine the puff cannot be cleaned?
@Jennifer--I don't think that the puff can be cleaned, which is another thing that bothers me.

that looks amazing on you~~~
the puff does seem like a difficult applicator
lol "it'll last you a life time"
@Steph--Thank you! It really is a lovely blush but so difficult to apply properly, whether with the sponge applicator pouff or with a brush because it is so highly pigmented.
