Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Reviews

I think these lipsticks are overhyped and it could be due to the packaging. It screams luxury and the filigree detailing is absolutely beautiful but the product itself is nothing amazing. No doubt these are the best looking lipstick bullets I own but I would rather have a lipstick that ticks all the boxes; look luxurious and be an amazing product; after all you pay BIG to have one of these. I brought these a few years back based on reviews (and good quality pictures) that they’re the best thing since slice bread. I think not.

The colour pay off is average so if you’re after opacity then I don’t think this is the next lipstick to look at however it’s great for that natural pop of colour. It applies on smoothly and has a lighter texture than a lip balm so it just melts into my lips. It has a watermelon fragrance that is not overpowering and like most fragrant lip products fades within a few minutes. The lasting power is kind of a joke; it’s not too far behind the lasting power of a lipgloss. I find that I have to reapply after 2-3 hours and that’s if I don’t eat or drink – it comes off quite easily. Having said that; YSL doesn’t claim that this has any lasting power just that your lips will have hours of hydration and I can vouch for that.

Would I repurchase? As beautiful as they are I can’t justify the price tag for such an average product.

After I have seen the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in a peachy colour on a you tube channel, I knew that I wanted to have it. The lipstick is just so creamy and shiny. I went and bought No 13 - a very pinkish pink and I love it. Because of the creamy consistency it is easy to apply. It smells wonderful and stays on for almost a day and does not even come off while drinking and eating. I was surprised how good it even worked in hot temperatures as I started using it on a beach vacation. The package is pure luxury. The only downside to this product is the price but for a special treat I will probably buy another one of those lipsticks.

YSL never fails to disappoint. Just love the colors and the formula which feels good on.scented but in the nicest way .beautiful color options.very moisturizing.this is by far the best and most luxurious lipstick from packaging to the rich formula it is all just sooo glamorous.

After a whole bunch of hype I caved and bought one of these lippies - everyone promised me it would change my life haha but really I was left feeling a little disappointed.

First off the colour pay off on a few of the colours I have is pretty average (I bought a few different shades just in case the colour I got was some dud anomaly) the only one I really liked was 17 - red muse now that is a seductive red. I feel I should point out that I do have dark lips and really seek out opacity in lippies - you won't find it here!

Where it did shine was in the shine department, these are glossy and beautiful, they feel like luxurious butter on the lips and smell divine.

The price point is a little high but considering it's YSL it makes sense if buttery creamy lippies are your thing and you are a luxe kinda girl these will fulfill all your hopes and dreams. Which is why I would recommend to friends, and highly too - depending on what they want from a lipstick.

To be quite frank these feel like the grown up super luxe and less pigmented version of the NYX Black Label lippies to me. If the YSL Rouge Volupte is not in your budget I suggest giving one of the Black Labels a spin I have an orange that's almost a perfect dupe for a YSL one I have - right down to texture.

I on the other hand want colour first - everything else being secondary and it just didn't deliver on that front.

i was always hesitant about buying one of these lipsticks because they are quite costly but i finally caved in and I'm so happy i did i love love love these lipsticks there so moisturising and literally just glide on so there so easy to apply they give a nice glossy finish, feel amazing on your lips and the colours are so pretty ! and on the plus side the packaging is super cute!!

These are pretty pricey, but if you like luxury then I would give them a whirl. I have three shades, a peach, a nude and a pink. The packaging is gorgeous and feels quality. The lipsticks are super creamy, have a lovely smell and are opaque. The only let down for me is that the staying power isn't what I would like it to be for the price - but I will definitely be getting more regardless!

I absolutely love this lipstick. I own number 8 which is a very pretty basic nude color, that goes well with my light skin. It smells like citrus and is so moisturizing on the lips - defiantly will repurchase! The only problem is that it doesn't last very long on my lips.

One of the most creamy, luxurious, lipsticks I own! Not only is the packaging beautiful, but the product goes on clean, smooth and silky.

Comparable with the Revlon lip butters in texture although silkier, goes on clean and doesn't sink into any lines. I like wearing this on days my lips are feeling a bit dry as it is super moisturising. They almost feel like gloss on your lips, without being sticky at all.

As for lasting power, they don't stay on too long, be prepared for a few touch ups on a night out, but is easy to apply without a mirror.

I personally own the colour #108 which is a purple-based pink and looks great with a neutral eye look.

These lipsticks are a little on the expensive side, but they are a quality, high end product. Definitely worth the cash!

I absolutely adore these lipsticks. For one the packaging is beautiful, its luxurious and something worth showing off. I also like the fact that the lid has a little mirror at the end! The formula of these lipsticks is absolutely to die for, so creamy, opaque, fab in colour pay off and wears beautifully.. There are no dry lips with these lipsticks and the colour selection is fantastic. I highly recommend these beautiful lipsticks!

I have #22 ( a plum sort of colour) and #1 nude beige.

The colours are absolutely gorgeous, and the lipstick itself has such a nice smooth creamy texture.

It has such a nice smell too, my #1 smells sort of like watermelon!

The only downfall is it is not that moisturising. After about 30 minutes my lips start to feel a bit dry, but if I put more on they feel fine again. The colour in #22 also lasts on your lips for ages!

It comes in such a pretty case too!
