I blame the YSL newsletter. It had a photo of their four nude colors for the wonderful Rouge Volupte lipstick that actually acknowledge that "nude" can be various shades and giving us options, instead of one generic beige that rarely looks good. Since their Exquisite Plum is among my favorite high drama evening colors, I was very happy to find an everyday, easy to wear neutral color that goes with almost any eye makeup and outfit.
Rouge Volupte in Luscious Pink is now my constant companion, together with my wallet, phone, sunglasses and car keys. I need it with me. The color is a warmer pink version of my natural lip color, and it lights up the face. It's not too pink, not too warm, just perfect for a happy, healthy, effortless look. This lipstick has all the great qualities of the Rouge Volupte line: creaminess, rich pigment, great coverage, superb lasting power and the feel of a lip balm.
Bottom line: Big, big love.
YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick ($34) is available from most decent department stores, Sephora and yslbeautyus.com (or the matching company site for your country).
All photos by me except the top one, which came from the YSL newsletter.
Wow that shade looks beautiful! I'll be adding it to my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteI adore this lipstick, for its high pigment and luxurious texture.
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff.
Makes you feel like a queen ;-)
[And I'm NO queen, baby !]
Ohmygosh, I bought this *exact* lipstick two weeks ago and now cannot imagine life without it. It is, hands-down, the most perfect your-lips-but-better color I've ever found. And we have very different coloring, I believe, so that's pretty impressive (I'm dark blonde with blue eyes and very pale).
ReplyDeleteAmazing feel and beautiful color. Thanks for reviewing it. Would have missed it otherwise!
