If you read my blog regularly, I’m sure you’re all aware by
now that I’m partial to a lipstick or two (or fifty – but who’s counting) and
the latest lippe to make its way into my collection is one renowned for being
the most beautifully packaged lipstick ever
- YSL Rouge Volupte. I received this along with the YSL Touché
Eclat as a belated birthday present from my dad so as you can imagine, I was
overjoyed when I opened the package. I do own one other Rouge Volupte lipstick which I've reviewed here
but they’re far too expensive to buy on a regular basis so it was nice to
receive some luxurious makeup treats.
As I said, YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks have to be one of, it
not thee most beautifully packaged products I’ve ever seen. The gold tube and
YSL engraving take it from a basic lipstick to a high-end, luxurious and
special product. A lipstick like this reminds me of something a bride would
wear on her wedding day – it screams class and elegance. Other than the amazing
packaging which I could quite possibly stare at all day long, the product
inside is just as beautiful.
The shade my dad picked for me (although I have an inkling
my step-mum might of lent a helping hand) is number one ‘Nude Beige’, a
beautiful pale pink. I have to admit when I first saw the name included ‘beige’ I
was concerned it would be a super pale ‘corpse lips’ nude shade and I
definitely don’t suit that look. Some people can pull an extremely pale lip off but me, no no no. They just make me look ill. However, much to my
relief, the shade isn’t too pale at all and instead is the perfect everyday
baby pink. Its the kind of shade I’ll be able to wear on an everyday basis for
work or in the evening paired with a smoky eye. Its very Kim Kardashian!
My favourite thing about these lipsticks (other than the
packaging) has got to be the formula. My favourite kind of lipsticks are
creamy, moisturising and pigmented and the Rouge Volupte lipsticks are the best
combination of those three qualities I’ve ever come across. They glide onto my
lips like butter, hide a multitude of dry-lip sins, feel incredibly
moisturising and have an opaque pigmentation with a high-shine finish. Perfect!
Other than the high £24.50 price tag, I cannot fault the YSL
Rouge Volupte lipsticks. I love everything about them and even though they
aren’t very long-lasting due to the creamy formula, I can’t say I mind pulling something this glamorous
out of my handbag to re-apply. You can find Nude Beige here along with all the other pretty colour choices. I want them all!
Do you like the YSL
Rouge Volupte lipsticks? Can you recommend any shades?
Lots of Love,

DeleteYsl lipsticks are so beautiful!!! I really want to try one! This color is really pretty and looks great on you! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I must be the only person on this planet who didn't like these lipsticks. They came off really chalky on me and, over time, developed that dreaded white line on my bottom lip. Gross. To each their own though -- not every product works the same way on every person ;) I'm happy you like it!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! x

Love the YSL lipsticks! I agree, the packaging is awesome. Have you tried their Sheer Candy lipsticks? They are a bit more like a balm, but I love the Lush Coconut Sheer Candy. It's a nude but not deathly either. :)
