Whenever I received these goodies in the post from a Dave Lackie giveaway, I honestly felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I had been eyeing up the YSL lipsticks for so long (let's admit, the packaging is swoon worthy) and I felt so grateful for what had landed on my doorstep. Thanks, Dave! These two products are also part of the YSL 2014 Spring Collection which also really intrigued me into looking further into them.
This lipstick is in shade 34 in 'Rose Asarine' which is a silky pink-red combination with cool undertones and fine micro-glitter for extra shine. The pigmentation is incredibly intense and the formula is incredibly glossy. It might be difficult to apply it straight from tube so I'd advise using a lip brush or just dabbing it lightly with your fingers. As usual with my lipsticks, I did the 'tea test' (aka drank a cup of tea whilst wearing this lipstick, haha) and it stayed on very well. It also feels very light and hydrating on the lips.
I also received a Rouge Put Couture Vernis a Levres Glossy Stain, which is a slight mouthful to say! This stain is in the shade rouge avant gardiste. This really adds the finishing touches to any bold lip and can be applied lightly to create a subtle wash of colour or built to create an amazing red lip. The stain is also non sticking and has a very different texture to a normal lip gloss. I'm not too sure how to describe it, but basically it feels like there isn't any product on your lips. The only thing that puts me off this product is the smell, which reminds me of wine for some reason? I thought I was crazy but I ran to my mum to ask and even she agreed. Their isn't much of a taste though once applied so don't worry. Personally I wouldn't buy this due to the hefty price point, but if you're willing to splurge on lip gloss/stains then I would go for it.
You can purchase both of these items on the YSL UK website here: Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain / YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick
