YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain | Review

I posted about this product in a haul a little white back. It's the second YSL beauty product I've ever bought, and the beauty range from this brand continues to impress me with each new purchase I make.

I own a Volupte Shine already, but I was attracted to the formula of this particular product. The packaging is very sleek and lovely, and the cap clicks into place so it is never askew or comes loose (a personal peeve of mine). The formula itself is creamy and silky right out of the tube, and applies like a dream. The angled, wide applicator makes it very easy to apply to the lips, at least for me. Once applied, the formula quickly begins to dry into a semi-matte finish, and pretty much becomes the "stain" part of its name. Once dried, this stuff sticks to the lips and takes quite a bit to come off. Re-applying is a breeze, and doesn't over-dry the lips.

I'm so in love with this product, and I'm dying to buy more, as well as more products from YSL in general. It isn't cheap, but the quality and feel of the formula feels worth the $35 in my opinion. I'm not at all disappointed with this product. Even the color is so flattering and smooth, and I'm dying to try out a few other colors (looking at you #2).

For reference, I own the #9 Rouge Laque.

Too Faced Lips

Yet another little Too Faced feature (told you I loved them)! I recently ordered two lipsticks from their website, and I also got two free samples along with it. I ordered colors Cinnamon Kiss and Loganberry, and got a little tube of their Shadow Insurance as well as their Lip Injection lip gloss. I decided to wear the Cinnamon Kiss along with the lip gloss to see how they both looked and worked.

Cinnamon Kiss is a gorgeous brown-red color (the color of the year is also Marsala, which I think this fits under - barely, but it fits) that glides on very smoothly. The color is a little buildable, as a creamy formula, and it smells rather good. I love the color and the formula, which I usually do with their lipsticks.

The lip gloss is clear and is supposed to plump up your lips. You'll feel a slight tingling and burning when you apply it (I didn't apply a lot so it wasn't overbearing). I personally don't think lip plumpers really work, but it's nice to have a clear gloss to use for any of my lip colors, should I want to. I also secretly kind of like the tingling sensation of lip plumpers. 

Overall, quite a pretty lipstick color! And the lip gloss is quite fun. If I hadn't gotten the Lip Injection for free I would probably never buy it on my own, but it's a neat little addition to have in my collection.

Thanks for reading!
