Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Reviews

YSL lipsticks are solely known for their packaging! If you have not seen one, I suggest you run to your closest Farmers to have a look and see for yourself. It comes in a gold tube which feels very expensive and the details are intricate which is simply the brand's signature. I feel like every time I put on any YSL lipstick, I feel like a princess drenched in gold. Formula wise, it is very pigmented and indeed moisturizing on the lips. I also love the fact that it leaves a nice gloss to the lips hence the name shine which works as a 2 in 1 product. (lipstick & lipgloss in 1). It has a pleasant floral perfume scent which is quite nice. However, if you're not into scented lipstick this might not be your thing.

I have No 8 and No 9 which are both nude. I figured if I'm going to treat myself for a luxe product, might as well get something that I can wear for everyday.

The downside is it is very expensive for just a lipstick, but if you're looking for a pick me up or a nice wee treat, then maybe go for it. My only complaint is it does not last longer than 2 hours on the lips especially after drinking/eating. I also find that I have to reapply at least 3x throughout the day for it to look like it was on the first application. The pigmentation can also get a tad creamy which can slip and slide so I suggest a good lipliner before application!

PRETTY, so pretty. I love YSL all there stuff is so beautiful and well made, it all screams buy me! I have a purple shade and one very similar to this. I find them creamy and easy to apply, the shades are very pigmented and long lasting, with minimal bleed. My lips didnt flake, or peel and they didnt dry after use, they felt slightly smoother then before. I am lucky to have got mine off a lady that worked for YSL so cost me next to nothing. The only problem I had was it stained my lips, once the product washed off.

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!

This lipstick may be the most watery and beautifully smooth hydrating type lipsticks I have ever used. I used a sheer cherry tone (don't have the number anymore sorry) and the color is great - very natural and instantly brightens the lips! However I feel like the moisture didn't last very long, though the color stayed pretty well. Also, i didn't feel like it softened my lips at all (as in the description) In the end I apply another lipstick on top to make it stick for longer. In the long run, I think this is a nice lipstick to use as a hydrating balm, but not something I would want to use a bright opaque shade of.

Firstly the packaging looks amazing, it screams money and its a lipstick you have to display for every one to see. I have to admit I brought this lipstick for my wedding day, the orginal rouge volupte (not shine) in #17, a red colour. I wanted it for a photo of me in my wedding dress putting on my lipstick- well it made an amazing photo and an amazing lipstick. it wears well, is creamy and very pigmented. I wear it for a treat but I do want more... but because of the price I will have to wait for a special occasion.

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.

I have one YSL lipstick and it is my absolute favourte thing in the world! I wear my lipstick almost everyday and it never fails me. The colour is just stunning. It last very long on my lips, its not drying its wonderful! The packaging is also amazing, it is just beautiful.

You know when you want something and you wait for ages that it may not live up to your fantasy? You dream about something and then one day you get it.... well this lives up to those dreams. Those magical lipstick day dreaming moments when you should have been doing that pile of washing that isn't going to do itself.

I got this duty free (I said it was a happy birthday present to myself - but my birthday isn't till friday... same week still applies right? I also didn't save it till my birthday because no one was there to say no to me.... just saying)... anyway I got it duty free because farmers was a tad pricey and every time I went to buy it I would hear my wallet saying - Bex do you really need this? Stupid wallet it doesn't know!!!

The packaging alone should sell it to you - especially if you are anything like me. Shiny happy and perfect. I got number 06 which is a gorgeous bright popping pink and I think the airport lights made it seem less pink.... But I adore it!

Wearing this makes me think I can take on the world. Spiders, bad moods, people walking slowly you name it - boom! It glides on and feels great on your lips.

It is a luxury item though. I mean it is pretty pricy to just be buying all the time. But I figure it will last - how long? Well only time will tell. However I found it wore well over the day and easily came off with my normal make up remover. It didn't leave my lips looking dry or flakey just lush and yummy.

I am taking it on a hot date on friday and if I get complimented on mu lipstick then it already paid for itself. Swooooon.

This is my most expensive lipstick and I thought I'd treat myself. I did get this cheaper when someone I know went to the US so I asked her to get this for me.

The packaging is so luxurious. You can tell it's expensive. I was surprised at how heavy it was compared to my other lipsticks. I got the shade 17 which is a bright red shade. I absolutely love it.

It is a creamy lipstick and it doesn't dry my lips. It glides on really well. It is not as long lasting though but I still love it. I knew that before I purchased it.

Every time I have this on, I feel amazing and it smells great. Everything about this lipstick is luxury to me and it makes me feel special.

Yes it is expensive but if you want to treat yourself, this is a pretty good one.
