YSL Rouge Volupté Shine No.4

I am well aware that it wasn't very long ago that I last blogged about a lipstick.. but as I mentioned in that post - I've been on a total lipstick binge this month. Every girl has a soft spot for something, whether its shoes or handbags.. mine just so happens to be lipstick! 

 

The latest lippie to grace my collection comes in the form of YSL's Rouge Volupté Shine in the shade '4'. YSL are the top dawg when it comes to packaging. It's almost too pretty to use (way too expensive not to though!) and it had both me and all of my colleagues ogling over it.

 

 

Formula wise, it glides on easily and stays put a surprisingly long time. It doesn't feel drying at all and lives up to its claims of high shine. I originally planned on picking up a more 'wearable and everyday' sorta shade but as soon as I swatched this I had to get my mitts on it. I've recently been enjoying wearing a red lip (which was something I used to avoid due to my ginger locks). 'Rouge in Danger' is a gorgeous blue toned red that has a slight hint of pink so it doesn't look too much. I absolutely love it. It isn't completely opaque after one coat (which I quite like) but it is buildable if bold is more your thaang. 

£24 is a lot for a single lipstick but this was a once-in-a-blue-moon special treat and it's something I'll definitely get use out of! Have you tried any of the YSL lippies?
