There's one makeup product that I will consistently splurge on, and that's a lippie. You really can get a much better lip product if you're willing to spend more money. One of my favorite formulas has always been the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Tinted Balms. They're super hydrating, wear for a few hours, and have just the right amount of tint. The colors have always been amazing, they seem to last forever (I've haven't come close to finishing one yet despite a ton of use), and there's obviously something very luxe and satisfying about clicking one of these heavy, metallic YSL lippie tubes closed.
Recently I lost one of my favorite shades (only for about a day, I found it later), and in the middle of my freak out (which was also related to going on vacation a few days later, I needed that lippie to go with me on vacation), I looked on the Nordstrom website to order a replacement. Where I discovered that YSL had released a bunch of new lip colors that are exclusive to Nordstrom, and I needed some. Yes.

I bought 3 of the new Nordstrom Exclusive YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lippies, and when they arrived I wish I had bought more. They are all kinds of amazing. The pinks are fun and bright and just enough color for my face.
YSL made a total of 12 (!) Rouge Voluptes for Nordstrom. I think I need a few more.

These are actually the Oil-in-stick lippies and are a brand new formula! They are a lipstick version of the YSL tint-in-oil which is one of my favorite formulas. I'm thrilled that you liked the ones you tried since they are definitely on my wish list right now!
ReplyDeleteWell, my understanding is that this is the same Rouge Volupte Shine formula that's been out for a few years (I've had a few of this formula from Saks and Sephora for about 2-3 years now), just the shades are exclusive. I think of them as a tinted balm, but you're right, they do keep calling it this oil in stick formula... not sure how that work exactly, but they feel just like tinted balm to me!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Lip Sticks,that looks stunning,you are so beautiful,really perfect suit for you..
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty, girly shades :-) I think I like Rose Saharienne best.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love YSL lipsticks! Rose Saharienne is calling my name :)

I just stumbled upon your blog looking for reviews of the YSL lipsticks (I just bought my first one today - nude beige - and LOVE it!) I'm wondering if they will melt badly in the hot sun - it seems like they would. I'm a medical student in the midwest just wanted to say hi!
