I have a few different products to review from Sisley for you today. One is the Phyto-Touche Sun Glow Bronzing Gel Powder which I’ve had my eye on for a while and the other is a new product for lips called the Phyto-Lip Delight. To me both are perfect for the upcoming summer season.
The Phyto-Touche Sun Glow Bronzing Gel Powder isn’t new but it is new to me. It’s been on my wishlist for months and I finally caved and bought it. It’s a unique formula that’s a bronzing gel powder, similar in concept to the NARS Dual Intensity Blushes where it’s a powder but not quite like a traditional powder. The one from Sisley is a warm bronze. It’s dense in formula and can be applied sheer for a soft wash of bronze. If you need more color you can use a dense brush for more color. It’s probably the most expensive bronzer I’ve ever splurged on. It was worth it for me but I still think the price point is very very steep.
Swatches, heavy vs. blended:
Swatch comparisons:
- Becca Sunlit Bronzer in Bali Sands (swatches here)
- Sisley Phyto-Touche Trio in Peche Dore
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Radiant Bronze Light and Nude Bronze Light (review here)
- Chanel Les Beiges 2018 Multi Color in Deep (review here)
Quick note that if you need a truly natural looking bronzer I’d still recommend the Becca Sunlit Bronzers. The Sisley Phyto-Touche Trio is also very natural looking, especially on lighter skin tones. The Chanel Les Beiges multi-stripe bronzers this year are also very natural.
Up next are the new Phyto-Lip Delights which are tinted gel-balms that transform into oils upon contact with the lips. They are sheer tinted oils but have enough pigment that you can see the color if you layer them a little. There are three perfect everyday neutrals in #1 Cool which is a nude beige, #2 Pretty which is a perfect pink and #3 Sweet which is a peachy coral. There is no shimmer to them to me they aren’t scented although they do have a subtle makeup scent. The finish is transparent and light for a soft tint. They plump and nourish the lips. You can wear them alone, under a gloss for more moisture or on top of a lipstick for added shine. The Phyto-Lip Delights have a nice comfortable feel that isn’t heavy or sticky. Right now they are available online at Sisley-Paris, they should trickle out to counters later in the summer. Circle straw bag shown from J.Crew. Sandals shown also from J.Crew.

Bottom line my love for Sisley-Paris makeup continues. I’m a huge fan of the Phyto-Lip Twists (Baby is my favorite shade) and the new Phyto-Lip Delights are no exception. They are quite expensive but in my experience their products have been worth the splurge for me. I was fortunate to get an early sneak preview of the Lip Delights but have purchased a number of things from the brand. My top two tips are to 1) sign up for their Beauty Subscription Program to get a monthly sampling. I reviewed 6 months’s worth of boxes here and it is the only subscription program I’ve kept. 2) Make a list and save purchases for GWPs. The Sisley-Paris website often has promos running on a regular basis. I also like the Beauty GWPs you can find at Nordstrom.
The bronzer is a gorgeous addition for me but I do own a wide range of other bronzing powders so I cannot call it a must-have. I do think I will be getting regular wear out of it this summer though.
You can find the Phyto-Lip Delights available now at Sisley-Paris.com. The bronzer can be found at all Sisley counters. I bought mine from Nordstrom.

I really appreciate the cut-outs on the sides of those tubes. That’s great design!
Me too 🙂 xoxo
I love the lip shades in #2 and #3. I think #1 would wash me out a bit. Really considering either asking for #2 for my upcoming birthday or getting it if I can at some point.
I can see how #1 might wash some out. I hope you get your birthday wish though!
Sabrina, you have THE perfect lips! Thank you for the review❤️
You are too sweet, thank you 🙂
I saw that bronzer in person and it’s lovely. I don’t like how bronzer looks on me but I am fan of Sisley’s concealers. All of the items you’ve discussed here look great on you!
Phyto Cernes Éclat in #1 is my holy grail concealer. Although the skin under and around my eyes is in excellent condition for a woman my age (mid-seventies), the skin is thin which makes for darkness in the eye area. Sisley’s botanical infused concealer is the only thing I’ve found that is light and silky and yet does a superlative job of illuminating the eye area and canceling out the shadows. It lasts all day and never settles into any of the fine lines. Love it!
I have #1 and #2 and they are the best I have found. There is nothing like their silky, lightweight coverage and feel. Well worth the price and a little goes a long way.
I also like By Terry Densiless concealer #2 Vanilla Beige. And I just discovered Tatcha The Pearl which I am using a tiny drop of beneath the Sisley.
Thanks for the tips, Suzanna.
Yes thank you Suzanna for the tips! I have the Tatcha on my testing list, will definitely try mixing it with the Sisley one 🙂
There is a huge amount of product in the Tatcha and you only need a tiny amount. Otherwise it can stick in lines. It has wonderful illuminating qualities when used in moderation. Impulse buy for me. Interested to hear your thoughts on this!
Thanks for the tips, Suzanna.
Thank you Suzanna! I can see how the bronzer might not be a universally flattering one. It pulled a lot warmer than I thought it would!
I think the Sisley is gorgeous–I’m a fan of Sisley despite the price and so many of the products have no equal. I’d have bought this, but bronzer just doesn’t work for me (hello, yellow Florida tan).
Yes, Sisley is stupidly expensive in the US, but so many of their products are simply amongst the best. If they’re products that I’m going to reach for consistently, then I’m willing to spend the money and don’t feel like I’m the victim of snob appeal. I love their lip twists, their waterproof eyeliners (you’ve reviewed both) and their eyeshadow singles. And, as I mentioned in my reply to Suzanna, Sisley makes what has become my HG concealer. As always, a great review with great photos by a great blogger 😃
Their eyeshadow singles are THE BEST hands down of any eyeshadow i have ever used ever. Better than TF, better than Pat McGrath, Natasha Denona, Viseart….. you name it. I wish they would come out with more colors because these are seriously amazing.
And the concealer is also my HG. Their Orchidee blusher is STUNNING,
OMG which colors are your favs? I have Amber which is amazing, I keep telling myself to check out the other colors but I always get distracted!
I love Burgundy and Toffee singles.
LOL … this brought such a smile to my face. Thank you so much for your support Eileen – it means the world to me!
Ooo gorgeous products!

These lip oils look fantastic. Both cool and sweet are calling my name. I like the look of their packaging as well.
