I don't tend to buy from YSL as the few things I have bought in the past have been disappointing (eyeshadows, lipgloss) and I really dislike their packaging. That said I have heard a lot of raves for the Rouge Volupte lipsticks so knew I'd end up trying one at some point.I had a look at the fall collection a few days ago and the Gloss volupte caught my eye. They have released four shades and three on them look REALLY bright in the tube (except shade #1, this is almost clear once applied so I'd give that a miss) .Straight away I wanted the frosted plum shade (#4) but they had not received shipment of this shade at any of the counters I went to so I settled for #2, chilled raspberry.
What we get is a sheer cool toned wet look pink,very wearable but not the most unique shade. Texture wise they have a lot of slip, are not sticky in the least, colour though very sheer is buildable ( but your not going to get the colour as it appears in the tube).
As they had some new Rouge Volupte lipsticks I got shade #20; spicy pink. This is a pinky brown (who would have guessed !) but it does have a noticeable mauve tone so if you are warm toned I'd avoid this one. Pigmentation is really good and the texture is creamy and the shade wears well. Both are £20 each and are heavily scented (fruity) I prefer unscented stuff ideally.
For me both shades are really wearable but not must haves, I think that #4 frosted plum maybe a bit more unique and as the YSL SA's said no where has stock of it I have taken that to be a challenge.... it will be mine :) I've updated my swatches as the light was poor the first time. On the left is Spicy pink, on the right is chilled Raspberry
The packaging for these lippies looks lovely, I should really check them out.
ReplyDeleteYSL do a lipgloss which is my HG, it's from the YSunL range and it's great. I have to agree with you on the dodgy packaging though, I don't like the way they have the "clicker" which produces more product right at the end of the tube. My Touche Eclat does that and everytime I finish using it I click the bottom and more comes out. Thanks for the frosted plum swatch, looks like my kinda colour

I haven't seen these in person yet. will have to look. The colour will have to be really unique for me to justify the splurge. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I got RV #22 (the one from the ad-campaign) and it is oh so gorgeous, blackberry-ish shade. I want #20 too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting swatches!
Hi Rhamnousia, thanks for your comment. Sorry I should have labelled them the pink swatch is of #2 chilled Raspberry. I think I may re-do the swatches though as the light wasn't good. I will get #4 Frosted plum at some point so will post that on here as soon as I do.
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle, yes, I think they are worth testing before buying, as I am sure a lot of people will not like the pigmentation of the volupte glosses. Thanks for visiting.
Hello peachgirl, I did really like #22 but thought it maybe a bit too intense for my pale self :) thanks for your comment.
amazing swatches thank u! Was curious about these!
ReplyDeleteI love the YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks my absolute favourite is #7 Lingerie Pink but I also really love #19 Frivolous Pink and #2 Sensual Silk.
