Ever since I heard murmurings that the Kevyn Aucoin line was coming out with a lighter version of its famed Sensual Skin Enhancer (all shades swatched HERE), the foundation addict in me has been on the hunt for this elusive Sensual Skin Tinted Balm. In light of the fact that the Kevyn Aucoin line hasn’t released a new foundation formula in years and this product is STILL not available on online, I have been diligently tracking its release.
When my gallant brother was in NYC last week, he stopped by Barneys and picked up #3 for me as well as samples of the other three shades (there are four shades total in this formula). Although my formal review (as well as a myriad of swatches) of the product is a work in progress (it’s been a busy work week!), I thought I would share this little collage…more to come on this amazing new formula in the very near future!

Been stalking the space nk website ever since I found out it will be launched exclusively on there in the uk, can't wait, how much is it? Can't wait for your full review, hope there'll be a colour match for deeper skin tones
Hi Aallexxy,
I am glad to know that I am not the only one that has been stalking this product ; ) The product is $48.00 and shade #4 (labeled swatches in various lighting to come soon!) seems to be the best match for deeper skin tones. Do please check back soon!!!

Yay, I love the original, but it can look too heavy and accentuate my dry patches. I can't wait to get my hands on this one. How do you like #3, is it a good match to original's SX06? Thanks.
Hello Rola,
I agree…the original formula can look too thick and pronounced if I am not careful! I can attest to the fact that this formula is much sheerer, but buildable and long lasting…so pleased with this release!
#3 is definitely a good match for anyone in the #6-#8 range in the original SSE…the whole line runs quite light (which surprised me in light the vast offerings for darker skin in the SSE formula).
Have a wonderful weekend and talk soon!
