Today I went to the mall during my break and I misbehaved. I should be saving money but my addiction got the better of me. I ended up buying 4 ....yes 4 YSL lipsticks. I got three Rouge Volupte and one Rouge Pure Shine.I just couldn't resist! I was drawn to them like a moth to a flame.
The packaging is very chic. It's so pretty that I find my self going into a vegetative state and drooling while I stare at them. No joke...I think I just drooled on my keyboard. Anyways, I liked the consistency they have. The Rouge Voluptes are very opaque and extremely creamy. They go on very smoothly and you can work with them and decide how much you want to build up. The Rouge Pure Shine is not as creamy but it does have glitter particles and it has a nice watermelon like scent. I'm not sure if the scent is for everyone. Especially people who are very particular about smell. I didn't mind the smell as long as it's not that cheap waxy lipstick smell.
* ROUGE VOLUPTE *
The three colors in this type of lipstick are: # 8, #29 and # 30.
#8 : Is a light blue/cool tone pink. I liked this color because it kind of reminds me of Pink Nouveau by MAC but then again this is solely based on my jacked up memory and since I haven't swatched them together I may completely and utterly off. I recommend this color if you like light but bright creamy pinks.
# 29: This is a much brighter and warmer pink compared to #8. This is more along the lines of MAC cosmetics Lovelorn, Chatterbox and Speak Louder. Of course as I mentioned above I have not done a side by side comparison but this is just the first impression I get from the lipstick. This is a lovely color and it is much easier for me to wear than #8 seeing that it is warmer and is definitely something I would constantly reach for.
# 30: Probably my favorite color that I bought. This is a light peach color. The Rouge Volupte line has two peachy tones (#13 and # 30) when I compared the two at the counter and swatched on my hand I thought that #13 was too bright and too neon/orange. I went with #30 a lighter peach color that reminds me of MAC's Cut-a-Caper. YSL is definitely a lot more opaque. It is a shiny finish which is something I really enjoy.
* ROUGE PURE SHINE *
I bought one pure shine lipsticks in the shade #10. Compared to the Rouge Volupte this has a frostier finish. It has noticeable glitter and did not have as smooth of an application as the previously mentioned lipsticks. I really enjoyed the packaging because you had to press the top to be able to slide the lipstick out.
I highly recommend these lipsticks. Even though they are pricey they go a long way and they are better than MAC's creamsheen lipsticks. I would splurge on one and then see if you personally believe that it is worth it for future shopping trips. Some people have said it smells weird but I don't really smell anything unusual. Maybe my sense of smell isn't as highly developed...as long as my nose doesn't melt when I smell it, it gets a gold star!!!
