broonylou: YSL Rouge Volupte and Pur Couture swatches

Guys and Gals it is FINALLY HERE!! My YSL lipstick swatch post. This was originally meant to be a video but it's 12am and I'm watching the Superbowl so I decided photographs would be much easier.

So I fell in love with these after watching a Chloe Morelo Youtube video and much like her, the obsession grew.

First of all I should say that yes, these are luxury lipsticks and as such the prices vary from about £24 to £28 but I am very fortunate in that the company I work for gives me 20% off and I collect points to receive further discounts etc so only two of these lipsticks have ever been bought at full price.

If I were to describe these first of all the packaging is blatantly gorgeous, I'm the first to admit that I love how these look in the lipstick holder, I'm a girl and I like pretty things so these lipsticks tick all the right boxes and there are times when I like to go through them all and just open each one up to look at the colour.

The lipstick texture itself is super moist, you need very little on the lips to get a good coverage and for that reason they will last you quite a long time. I use number 1 Nude Beige almost daily and got it in September, I still have over half a tube left.

So onto the swatches, I apologise because obviously it's late and I've literally smacked some foundation around my mouth for the benefit of these photos looking half decent but you get the idea! As the photos go on you can see that half of the foundation ends up wiped off anyway...
