Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick

Firstly, I have very dark, pigmented lips that tend to cause most lipsticks to apply much darker than they look in the tube. For this reason I have to look for thick, creamy, full coverage lipsticks and these usually dehydrate my lips. It was a lose-lose situation for me until one day I was at the Yves Saint Laurent counter in my local Debenhams store and I came across the "Rouge Voluptes". The "Rouge Voluptes" are marketed as 'sensual, silky' lipsticks. The soft, creamy texture claims to transform into fluid on contact with the lips for a 'delightful' feeling and 'exceptional' gliding effect. The 'nutri-protective complex' nourishes the ...  Read the complete review

I had been wanting to get this lipstick for quite some time now, at £20 it is not cheap! Finally decided to buy it last week, and let me tell you it is love :) First of all the texture is best part about this lipstick for me (yes putting aside the beautiful packaging and unique colour for now).

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick (£20.00) comes in a variety of shades, ranging from pale nudes to the brightest pinks and berries. The packaging is super luxurious with its heavy gold tube and ornately designed ring which discreetly displays the lipstick colour. There is also a little mirror on the end of the tube, which is small but also usable when you need a touch up. The lipstick is described as "light and covering, the cream texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips, for a delightful feeling and an exceptional gliding effect." And to be honest this is the creamiest, loveliest lipstick I have ever worn. I have #10 ...  Read the complete review
