YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick

Image
Packaging: Short reflective gold square tube with an engraved black YSL logo on the cap. The cap takes up ¾ of the height of the tube but does snap on securely. The bullet is standard with a slanted tip. The shiny and smooth finish does catch fingerprints. Smell/Taste: Mango. Colour: #01 Le Rouge - Blood red. Full pigmentation with a satin finish. Available in 41 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth and creamy consistency. It glides so effortlessly on the lips with no tugging or skipping at all. It feels lightweight and so so comfortable on the lips. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. This is very comfortable and moisturising on the lips. I didn't experience any bleeding or feathering but with a red colours, I do always use a lip liner. This did transfer a bit onto food and drink. Overall it lasted 6-8 hours on my lips. This lipstick is luxury. It feels amazing on the lips, smells divine and lasts a fairly decent amount...

YSL Touche Eclat Concealer

Image
Packaging It comes in a gold, shiny box with the shade number on the top and the tube is circular  palm length shiny gold . This has a soft flexible brush tip and a click activator pen end. The lid secures tightly with a click. There is very minimal text on the tube itself but with the shine, it's unmistakable.  Smell: None. Colour: 1-light beige. Medium to full coverage with a satin finish. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth liquid/ cream consistency. It's easy to apply just by clicking the end, wait for the product to appear at the tip and brush this onto the areas on your face you want to highlight. The first use does require a lot of clips before product starts to come out. A little product does go a long way. It is easy removed with a basic makeup wipe. There is no reflection in flash photography. This is a highlighting type of concealer not a concealer. It has reflective pigments in it from what I can gather that bounce light off t...

YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick

Image
Packaging: Luxxe gold shiny box that matches the round tube with flat ends. Very detailed "YSL' around the middle of the tube. Behind this is the colour of the lipstick so you can correlate the middle colour to the bullet inside the tube. The shade info is at the bottom of the tube. This does feel quite heavy which adds to the expensive look of the lipstick. Smell: Like managos! So yummy! Colour: #1 Nude Beige - light pink with neutral undertones. Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish. #7 Lingerie Pink - light creamy baby doll pink. Opaque pigmentation with a satin finish. It swatches almost a light rose but on the lips can be patchy due to the creamy formula. This colour reminds me of NARS lips gloss in Turkish Delight. Available in 15 shades. #1 Nude Beige #7 Lingerie Pink Formula/ Texture: This is a very creamy, smooth and lightweight lipstick. It has great pigmentation and like the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks, a ver...

YSL Singulier Exaggerated Lashes Mascara

Image
Packaging: Gold box that reflects the circular mascara mirror tube itself. The handle has a black contrast YSL logo. The wand is a wire/plastic. Thickness of wand is normal with wire bristles. The bristles actually wrap around the wand in a double helix pattern that all vary in length. I did find the stopper to be quite small and it was relatively hard and slow to remove the wand from the tube. I am finding a lot of product clumping on the tip of the wand. Upon opening and closing the tube, the packaging felt poorly made as it didn't feel sturdy and easily breakable. Smell: None. Colour/Taste: #1 Black. Very intense pigment. Available in 3 shades and a waterproof version. Formula/ Texture: It's a dry and thick formula. Even with the multi dimensional bristles, I still found the wand easy to apply with no adjusting to the size or poking in the eye. The majority is removed with a basic makeup wipe but it does take a little extra power to remove any remai...

YSL Teint Resist Foundation

Image
Packaging: Luze gold shiny mirror box. Frosted square glass foundation bottle with the same mirror shiny gold cap, engraved with the YSL logo. This foundation has a pump that works well, it's easy to use, no clogging, dispenses a small amount of product and doesn't squirt hard or in a stream like way. I find that I use 3-4 pumps as compared to the max 2 with other pump foundations. Smell: None. Colour: 04 Sand - light beige with warm/yellow undertones for light shades. Light-medium coverage with satin finish. Available in 8 shades. At the moment this shade is more of a summer colour for when I am tanner but it does work well mixed with my Revlon Colorstay foundation for the season transition periods. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth runny consistency. It is very easy to apply and blend to the face with no issues with it 'sitting' on top of the skin. I've tried with fingers, Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush and a Beauty Blender a...

YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara

Image
Packaging: Two toned gold box that reflects the circular mascara mirror tube itself. Bottom half is more rose gold. The top where the handle is is seperated by a black YSL logo. The wand is wire with thickness . Smell: None. Colour: Very black. Opaque pigmentation. Available in 3 shades. Formula/ Texture: This is a dry formula. Lightweight on the lashes. Easy to remove with a basic makeup wipe. I've had no irritations, transferring and slight smudging on the lower lash line only (which is my only complaint). It has intense pigmentation and a unique formula that doesn't clump! I'm surprised about this compared to another YSL mascara I've tried. There is a triple film complex in the formula; one film for intensify, conditioning film for curve and finally a fixing film for long lasting hold. There are nylon fibres in the formula that add varying lengths to re-create a more natural voluminous look. I couldn't see these on ...

YSL Golden Gloss #20 Golden Macadamia

Image
Packaging: The gloss comes in this awesome, shiny, reflective gold box. The gloss is in a square tube with the same shiny, reflective, gold lid with the YSL emblem engraved on it which could be used as a mirror if needed. The bottom portion of the tube is clear showing the colour of the gloss perfectly. The brush applicator is medium length but adds more control over the placement of the gloss. Everything about this packaging is so luxurious. Smell: Like mangoes!! So yummy and irresistible and might I add very unique. Colour: #20 Golden Macadamia - light brown/ nude with gold flecks and cool undertones. Medium pigmentation with a gloss finish. To me this is the perfect nude colour that still looks natural. There is quite a few colours in this range. Texture/Formula: The gloss is fine, smooth and not sticky at all! It's very comfortable and lightweight on the lips. It has gold flecks that are actually 24 carat gold which makes up 0.2% of the gloss. ...
