Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Reviews

What beautiful packaging this expensive lipstick comes in, ($67 at Farmers). The texture is smooth and luxurious making it easy to apply and making your lips or mine, looking beautiful and soft. Number 3 does not have a fragrance what so ever. Even though it's categorically my most expensive lipstick, it is by far not the best one I own. It doesn't last that long on the lips, infact I had to reapply after three hours. The gloss shine lasted even less. This is a lovely lipstick to look at but I just wouldn't buy it again at that price.

I have the Volupte shine in 8 which is this pretty pink glossy lipstick. It glides on nicely and sheerly. I'm not a huge fan of the scents. They smell plasticky and fake. I also much prefer the original rouge voluptes as they are most opaque. These lipsticks are easy to apply/carry around, the packaging is beautiful but I just wish they were more long lasting!

Such gorgeous packaging and the smell is divine!

I have a few of these now, they are a little pricey ($67 from Farmers or Smith and Caugheys) but they are so worth it.

The lipstick is so creamy and hydrating and comes in a wide range of colours - one downside is that the colour doesn't last very long and needs reapplying a couple of times throughout the day.

Would definitely recommend these to everyone!

Ahhh the packaging was what drew me in to try it in the first place...otherwise I wouldn't be spending $67 on one lipstick! But the lipstick inside is equally as wonderful - smells like mango and applies so smooth! compared to the original rouge volupte it has less of a creamy quality but more of a balmy feel, to me it's a bit easier to apply and looks so fresh and youthful!! ahhh I can go on all day :)

I have one YSL lipstick and it is my absolute favourte thing in the world! I wear my lipstick almost everyday and it never fails me. The colour is just stunning. It last very long on my lips, its not drying its wonderful! The packaging is also amazing, it is just beautiful.

I bought this as a present to myself in Shade 15 (it's a nice peachy/pinky colour). The formula glides on like a dream, feels so moisturizing and it stays in place for hours. The fragrance is also divine and lasts for quite some time. This is the best brand of lippy that I own. If you can, go and buy it! There's so many other gorgeous shades that I want to get!

I recently bought this YSL lippy in Singapore (thank god I didn't have to pay NZ price for it), if you're purchasing it in New Zealand, it's safe to say it's one of the more pricey lipsticks we have here, but it is definitely worth it. I would have to say that it is one of the most beautiful formulas I have ever put on my lips, it is so moisturising and creamy, and the colour comes across really vibrant (I think I have number 34 but I'm not too sure anymore) It does tend to wear down, but re-applying it should mean it lasts you the whole day with minimal smudging.

Let's get this out of the way first... It's expensive. That is the one reason I wouldn't recommend this to a friend. If you want this formula go buy a Revlon Lip Butter. HOWEVER, if you would like a luxury lip product this is great. I wanted a treat for my birthday, and I had some vouchers so this came home with me in the shade 13 Peach Passion

This looks stunning in your purse or collection. The packaging is the most high-end out of any lipsticks I own. The gold packaging is metal so it feels colder in your hand. Around the middle it has the YSL logo with the shade of the lipstick behind it. I love this as I'm a big fan of being able to know the shade of your lipstick before you pick it up. The lid has a really satisfying click to it which means you are never going to have to worry about losing it in your handbag.

In the bullet the lipstick looks almost matte. I bought this in the shade 13 Peach Passion which is a vibrant peach shade. I am actually not a big fan of the shade, I went of YouTube and blog reviews instead of trying it myself. So I would recommend that you look at these in person before picking one up! The lippy itself smells fantastic, almost fruity. This glides onto the lips quite thickly and gives an opaque finish. Once it warms into your lips it creates more of a glossy finish. This doesn't last very long on the lips due to its glossy nature but is quite pretty when it is there. While you are wearing it it feels very moisturising, like wearing a lip balm.

If a friend told me they wanted to buy this I would definitely push them in the direction of the Revlon Lip Butters first. Not as luxurious but still a great lipstick with that glossy sort of finish.

This lipstick may be the most watery and beautifully smooth hydrating type lipsticks I have ever used. I used a sheer cherry tone (don't have the number anymore sorry) and the color is great - very natural and instantly brightens the lips! However I feel like the moisture didn't last very long, though the color stayed pretty well. Also, i didn't feel like it softened my lips at all (as in the description) In the end I apply another lipstick on top to make it stick for longer. In the long run, I think this is a nice lipstick to use as a hydrating balm, but not something I would want to use a bright opaque shade of.

This has to be my ultimate favourite lipstick. I love the beautiful gold packaging! it just looks luxurious and makes you feel glamourous just having this in your bag.

I find the lipstick is very moisturising for my dry lips and the colour really does last. I only have the one of these lipsticks, as they are expensive.

Definitely want to add more to my collection soon!
