Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Reviews

Beautiful packaging!! I think that's what draws most people in, although the product itself is wonderful too. Feels super luxurious. I purchased shade #14, which is a pretty coral/red shade. It applies like butter and is not too opaque, although one layer will be plenty. It feels light and moisturizing like a lipgloss more than lipstick. And the smell is AMAZING...very fruity, kind of like mangoes! That said it is a bit pricey but I think we are paying for the brand name and packaging as much as the product.

This is my most expensive lipstick and I thought I'd treat myself. I did get this cheaper when someone I know went to the US so I asked her to get this for me.

The packaging is so luxurious. You can tell it's expensive. I was surprised at how heavy it was compared to my other lipsticks. I got the shade 17 which is a bright red shade. I absolutely love it.

It is a creamy lipstick and it doesn't dry my lips. It glides on really well. It is not as long lasting though but I still love it. I knew that before I purchased it.

Every time I have this on, I feel amazing and it smells great. Everything about this lipstick is luxury to me and it makes me feel special.

Yes it is expensive but if you want to treat yourself, this is a pretty good one.

After I have seen the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in a peachy colour on a you tube channel, I knew that I wanted to have it. The lipstick is just so creamy and shiny. I went and bought No 13 - a very pinkish pink and I love it. Because of the creamy consistency it is easy to apply. It smells wonderful and stays on for almost a day and does not even come off while drinking and eating. I was surprised how good it even worked in hot temperatures as I started using it on a beach vacation. The package is pure luxury. The only downside to this product is the price but for a special treat I will probably buy another one of those lipsticks.

I think these lipsticks are overhyped and it could be due to the packaging. It screams luxury and the filigree detailing is absolutely beautiful but the product itself is nothing amazing. No doubt these are the best looking lipstick bullets I own but I would rather have a lipstick that ticks all the boxes; look luxurious and be an amazing product; after all you pay BIG to have one of these. I brought these a few years back based on reviews (and good quality pictures) that they’re the best thing since slice bread. I think not.

The colour pay off is average so if you’re after opacity then I don’t think this is the next lipstick to look at however it’s great for that natural pop of colour. It applies on smoothly and has a lighter texture than a lip balm so it just melts into my lips. It has a watermelon fragrance that is not overpowering and like most fragrant lip products fades within a few minutes. The lasting power is kind of a joke; it’s not too far behind the lasting power of a lipgloss. I find that I have to reapply after 2-3 hours and that’s if I don’t eat or drink – it comes off quite easily. Having said that; YSL doesn’t claim that this has any lasting power just that your lips will have hours of hydration and I can vouch for that.

Would I repurchase? As beautiful as they are I can’t justify the price tag for such an average product.

PRETTY, so pretty. I love YSL all there stuff is so beautiful and well made, it all screams buy me! I have a purple shade and one very similar to this. I find them creamy and easy to apply, the shades are very pigmented and long lasting, with minimal bleed. My lips didnt flake, or peel and they didnt dry after use, they felt slightly smoother then before. I am lucky to have got mine off a lady that worked for YSL so cost me next to nothing. The only problem I had was it stained my lips, once the product washed off.

You know when you want something and you wait for ages that it may not live up to your fantasy? You dream about something and then one day you get it.... well this lives up to those dreams. Those magical lipstick day dreaming moments when you should have been doing that pile of washing that isn't going to do itself.

I got this duty free (I said it was a happy birthday present to myself - but my birthday isn't till friday... same week still applies right? I also didn't save it till my birthday because no one was there to say no to me.... just saying)... anyway I got it duty free because farmers was a tad pricey and every time I went to buy it I would hear my wallet saying - Bex do you really need this? Stupid wallet it doesn't know!!!

The packaging alone should sell it to you - especially if you are anything like me. Shiny happy and perfect. I got number 06 which is a gorgeous bright popping pink and I think the airport lights made it seem less pink.... But I adore it!

Wearing this makes me think I can take on the world. Spiders, bad moods, people walking slowly you name it - boom! It glides on and feels great on your lips.

It is a luxury item though. I mean it is pretty pricy to just be buying all the time. But I figure it will last - how long? Well only time will tell. However I found it wore well over the day and easily came off with my normal make up remover. It didn't leave my lips looking dry or flakey just lush and yummy.

I am taking it on a hot date on friday and if I get complimented on mu lipstick then it already paid for itself. Swooooon.

YSL lipsticks are solely known for their packaging! If you have not seen one, I suggest you run to your closest Farmers to have a look and see for yourself. It comes in a gold tube which feels very expensive and the details are intricate which is simply the brand's signature. I feel like every time I put on any YSL lipstick, I feel like a princess drenched in gold. Formula wise, it is very pigmented and indeed moisturizing on the lips. I also love the fact that it leaves a nice gloss to the lips hence the name shine which works as a 2 in 1 product. (lipstick & lipgloss in 1). It has a pleasant floral perfume scent which is quite nice. However, if you're not into scented lipstick this might not be your thing.

I have No 8 and No 9 which are both nude. I figured if I'm going to treat myself for a luxe product, might as well get something that I can wear for everyday.

The downside is it is very expensive for just a lipstick, but if you're looking for a pick me up or a nice wee treat, then maybe go for it. My only complaint is it does not last longer than 2 hours on the lips especially after drinking/eating. I also find that I have to reapply at least 3x throughout the day for it to look like it was on the first application. The pigmentation can also get a tad creamy which can slip and slide so I suggest a good lipliner before application!

Firstly the packaging looks amazing, it screams money and its a lipstick you have to display for every one to see. I have to admit I brought this lipstick for my wedding day, the orginal rouge volupte (not shine) in #17, a red colour. I wanted it for a photo of me in my wedding dress putting on my lipstick- well it made an amazing photo and an amazing lipstick. it wears well, is creamy and very pigmented. I wear it for a treat but I do want more... but because of the price I will have to wait for a special occasion.

This is my holy grail lipstick. Amazing colours (I have #13 and #15) and they are incredibly moisturising - much more than I realised a lipstick could be. I get quite dry lips often and have used this lipstick instead of Lip Balm on occasions when it's all I've had on me!

The packing is beautiful and feels very luxurious. These are expensive, and are a 'treat' product, but if you have the money then it's worth it 100%. I would rather buy one of these than a couple of cheaper ones, they're that good.

These lippies are famous on the net, so I went and bought one on my way home from Europe duty free! I chose number 13 a peachy colour which turned out a lot brighter than I remembered in the bright airport lights!

I love the colour now, the texture is so moisturising and beautiful. The scent is peachy just like the colour! Not sure what the others smell like but I'm sure they're just as delicious!

The only complaint I have is a minor one, and that is that the colour gets a bit patchy on my lips because of the formula if my lips are even slightly rough.

But overall I can't wait to wear this shade this summer!
