Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Lipstick #29 Opera Rose

Lovin This YSL Pink Lipstick!


I just picked up this lipstick from the mall a few days ago.  I had no plans to spend money on cosmetics but  I have this debilitating weakness for the gold YSL lipstick packaging.  Its shiny and catches my eye...ADD for you:(

Nevertheless, I gotta say I'm super glad I emptied my wallet and picked this lil pink baby up.  Its such a beautiful medium pink, perfect for summer! Bonus: It has SPF 15 and it adds volume to your lips, woo-hoo. 


This shade comes from the YSL Rouge Volupte series and is densely pigmented with a satin like finish and a soft shine.  Its very creamy and practically glides onto the lips.  I gotta admit its a very luxurious lipstick and I love pulling out the elegant gold case (maybe a little too much lol).  You definitely want to exfoliate your lips before wearing any of the YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks because they are so creamy that they literally slide right into your lip lines.  Very little goes a long way so don't windshield wipe on your lips ladies!!!

What I love about this color is its versatility. Its a vibrant rose pink which is bright enough to wear on a night out but also soft enough to wear during the day.  Meaning if you wear this to work, people won't be staring at your lips all day.  I think it will flatter a wide variety of skin tones as well.  When I applied it, it gave my complexion a healthy glow.

Because of the creaminess of this lipstick I would not describe this particular item as a long wearing product.  It does look lovely on the lips but if you have anything to drink or eat you will find yourself reaching for that classy little gold case to reapply.  I would try wearing a lip pencil underneath to try to extend the wear time.  I woud not recommend this for a special event (ex: wedding) because it definetly won't last the whole day.
