YSL Rouge Volupté Lipstick in 27 Rose Paris - £23.50 (*)
After months of lusting after a Yves Saint Laurent lipstick, I purchased one a few months ago with a voucher I had from the Debenhams Press Day. These lipsticks are rather expensive so it took me some time to choose a shade, but I decided on Rose Paris as it's a beautiful pink rouge which appealed to me at the time. You can see me wearing this shade here.
I love the way the creamy formula applies so well to the lips, it really does glide on while leaving the most amazing colour which lasts for hours. These have a beautiful finish and the colour pay off is amazing, so although they're much more expensive than the likes of MAC and NARS, I would say they're also of much higher quality. I don't wear mine every day like I would a MAC lipstick though (although that may be because the colour really isn't something I would wear to the office) but keep it for special occasions, nights out or when it goes with my outfit.
I wish I had chosen a shade which is more wearable for day, but at the time I was after something bright and bold, and I'd recommend this shade if you're looking for something that stands out.
These lipsticks really are something every girl must own, the packaging is like nothing else - so luxurious and elegant! The shade range is great too, you are bound to find a few shades which are perfect for you.
The price is, of course, off-putting but I do believe you must try at least one YSL lipstick in your lifetime and I would pay full price for another.
What do you think of the Rouge Volupté lipsticks?

I love these lipsticks! In the january sales house of fraser were selling them for £14.50 which is CRRRAZY. I got the shade Sweet Honey and it's the perfect nude for me! They're such amazing quality! x
ReplyDeletei've had two and was a bit "meh" about them as I picked colours that required a bit of maintenance. they're getting more and more expensive eesh, but who wouldn't be in love with that packaging?! xx
ReplyDeletebrilliant post, ysl lipsticks really are high quality and this is a gorgeous colour!

I've always wanted a YSL lipstick but the price really put me off and I've heard some people say that the staying power isn't so good. But may just have to bite the bullet and buy one :) thanks for the review

There's nothing nicer than an expensive YSL lipstick in your bag! This looks stunning, but I get the point about getting something more wearable when they are so expensive! Have a lovely evening! x
ReplyDeleteoh yes the packaging is in a totally different league, i love the color you chose!

I love Rouge Voluptes, they're expensive but the packaging and texture are so gorge, they last quite well for such a glossy lipstick too I think!
ReplyDeleteI have two which are fairly wearable for the day, (7 Lingerie Pink and 13 Peach Passion) I love them, 7 is just such a go to lipstick but I have to say that neither last very long, I find myself reapplying a lot. Perhaps it is just because they are paler. However, I would still get another because the colours are beautiful, 11 is amazing.

Really want to try one of these and the packaging makes them look even lovelier! Good choice!

i'm so jealous!! It's b-ee-a-utiful! xx
ReplyDeleteA little bit pricey but beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteArgh the packaging alone makes me want this lipstick. You're right though, to spend this much you'd want to be sure about the colour!
