My addiction to YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks is new, even though these lipsticks have been around forever. There is something very luxurious about them, the gold packing, the way the lid clicks into place, the ultra glam way they make me feel when I'm freshening my lippy in public (yes, I do that).
YSL Rouge Volupte #8 Fetish Pink
This is the brighter of the two, almost a barbie pink but it's very wearable. It's one of those colours that even with little else makeup, this will make you look polished and put together.

YSL Rouge Volupte #19 Frivolous Pink
This is a paler, bubblegum pink colour and I know that if I get a bit of a tan in summer this will probably look horrible on me. But in the meantime I'm happy to wear this colour as much as I can.

If there is one thing I don't like about them, they don't last very long. As they are super creamy they come off at the first sign of food, or 3 hours if no eating/or drinking. But since they are perfect in every other way I don't mind too much.
I bought my YSLs from Cosmo Cosmetics in Wynyard for around $25 each. At the AU department stores they sell for $55each, however places like Strawberry Net and All Cosmetics Wholesale usually have them in stock for the $20 - $25 mark as well.
Have you tried YSL Rouge Voluptes?
Both of these lipsticks look gorgeous on you. I wish for a few YSL lipsticks. :D
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous pink colors. They remind me of breast cancer awareness! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these shades! Unfortunately, it would seem i'm allergic to the formula. I bought Peach Passion and had to return it because my lips got red and swollen. I was also a bit disappointed with how sheer it was on my lips. :( Seeing them on you makes me wish the above wasn't the case!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these! I know I have too many pink lipsticks but this is going on the wish list.
ReplyDeleteThese look AMAZING on you!! I particularly love the first pink. I've never taken the plunge and tried these YSL lipsticks because of the limited wear time, but the colours are so pretty!! :D
ReplyDeleteSteal My Heart Love - thanks hun, they are such great lippies aren't they?
ReplyDeleteDani - yes! Why did I not think of the connection! They are perfect for breast cancer awareness month.
Eden - oh I can't believe you were allergic to them. I'll have to stop talking about them from now on so you don't feel bad.
Peta - I have too many too, but hasn't stopped me! LOL
Sarah - yeah such a bummer that they only last 3 hrs or so, I'd expect longer from something so $$$, but oh well.

I share the same obsession as you with YSL Rouge Voluptes! They are SUPER creamy and glides on like magic. However, the only thing I don't like is it ALWAYS stains my teeth. :(
ReplyDeleteLooking good as always, Lilit! :)
Fetish Pink looks SOOOO good on you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried YSL Rouge Voluptes but after reading your post, I think I will! I really like the Frivolous Pink one on you! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG LILIT! These look amazing! Damn it, my credit card is crying now!! Those pinks look incredible! I love how we have the same taste in lippies :D
ReplyDeleteBoth of these look great on you, esp Fetish pink. Too bad they don't last long but then half the fun is taking em out of the bag and reapplying while the mere mortals around you gawk at the beautiful packaging ;)
ReplyDeleteI have always always wanted a ysl lipstick! I think it's mainly just for what they look like haha :) they are just so classy and gorgeous looking. The two colours you got are absolutely gorgeous too, and look amazing on you xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours, my rouge volupte is also a very barbie pink :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's it! My next lipstick purchase will be a luxe lippie!!!
ReplyDeletelove the first one, defs getting one :)

Wow, these pinks look really striking on you! Unfortunately shades like these tend to bring out the yellow in my teeth... on average I laugh every five minutes so I guess i won't be pulling them off!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours!I Love these lipsticks!I have 4 of them!Lingerie pink in no7, provocative pink no10,peach passion no13 and no27 rose Paris!Looove them all!
ReplyDeleteI just recently got one of these in No 40. Its a gorgeous peach colour. I LOVE the packaging but I am not sold on the formula just yet. I find it is too creamy and doesn't last long on my lips :( But since the packaging is so gorgeous I don't mind so much re-applying more often.

you can never get too many pinkies if I may say so! These were adorable! Me want!
ReplyDeleteBoth look stunning on you! I'd be afraid they would wash me out though.
ReplyDeleteThey're both such gorgeous pinks. I love the packaging of these lipsticks, it'd definitely make me forgive them for not being very long-lasting. x
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your lovely comments. Glad you like these lippies... and yep, it's the packaging that makes it so special. :-)
