Review: YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Rose Paris.

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?
