YSL Yves Saint Laurent 7 Lingerie Pink Rouge Volupte Swatch & Review

Recently I've gone back to using one of my old favourites- YSL Lingerie Pink Rouge Volupte which is a coolish milky pink with a creme finish. This is one of those cult status lipsticks, in a way I find that a bit strange as it can be quite hard to pull off, I find the best way is to blot it with your finger afterwards to take away some of the harshness or to top it with gloss (I've been using Mac Frankly Fresh of late). It looks particularly lovely when paired with a smokey eye.

Like most Rouge Voluptes it is creamy soft and quite moisturising. It is also scented with a sweet mango perfume that I love. Due to its amount of slip, wear time isn't as good as some others on the market- about 3 hours, although this doesn't bother me at all. The coverage is basically opaque in one swipe so you need to be careful you don't over apply as it is so soft and you will run out very quickly!

YSL La Laque Couture 4 Corail Colisee Swatch & Review

I came across this the other day from Yves Saint Laurent, I think they might have launched a new nail polish collection recently as I've never noticed it before. Anyway I picked up number 4 Corail Colisee which is a very bright coral red. It dries a little bit darker than you see in the bottle but it's still very pretty. It is on the sheer side, almost like a jelly, I used 2 coats but it needed 3 looking back at the photos as you can see a fair amount of VNL.

They've included a wide brush, a bit like the ones from OPI, which makes painting nails super fast. It dries nice and glossy (I didn't use a top coat here). This manicure lasted me about 3 days before I saw any tip wear which is about average for me as I'm quite heavy handed.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain 15 Rose Vinyl Swatch and Review

YSL Rose Vinyl Glossy Stain

This was my second purchase from the new YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stains. It's a lovely medium pink  which on my lips looks cooler (more blue toned) on my lips, so I'm guessing it will vary quite a bit on different skintones. It's not as opaque as Rouge Laque and somewhat less glossy but I can detect a slight shimmer. 

Swatch!

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain 9 Rouge Laque Review + Swatch

Yves Saint Laurent recently introduced their new line of lipstick/stain/gloss hybrids. I picked up two, number 9 Rouge Laque and 15 Rose Vinyl. Rouge Laque is a vibrant orange based red( which looks like the colour on the model in the ad), it's very glossy and leaves a lovely stain behind once the gloss had worn away. I really like these as they don't seem to dry out my lips as a lot of traditional stains do.
