Happy Sunday everyone!! Lets dive in straight for another YSL reviews.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres, is not a exactly a lipstick, not exactly a gloss, but it is a liquid glossy lipstick stain. A lip product that combines the texture and shine of a gloss with the long wear of a stain. It is formulated without 
                                                                        - Parabens
  - Phthalates 
The applicator has a slanted tip with soft short bristles. There is a slight fragrance but not over powering, during application the consistency feels very pleasant, watery, cooling, and after the application the finish looks very glossy.

What do you look for in lip products? 

The most important factor for a lip product to me is not drying out my lips, I have very sensitive lips and have a tenancy to peel and flake. With that said, well done YSL! My lips stayed well hydrated and wears off after 5 - 6 hours to beautiful natural stain on my lips.

YSL Glossy Stains: Rouge Gouache (#11) (SGD $45) is a bright vibrant red with a slight blue undertone. It glides on smoothly like a dream and is very opaque with just one swipe. The consistency starts out watery but develops into a slight tacky gel-like formula after 5 minutes. It leaves a beautiful stain by the end of the day.
YSL Glossy Stains: Rose Pastelle (#18) (SGD $45) is a pastel light pink quite similar to their Rouge Volupte Lipstick: Lingerie Pink. I might not be so lucky with this shade, on my lip it looks patchy, sticky and uneven. Just could not get it to apply evenly! It seemed to stick, settle patchy and doesn't leave any stain (seems that all light colors doesn't leave any stains), I was quite disappointed and was not impress with this color at all. It just didn't work out as well as Rouge Gouache (#11).

Overall, YSL Glossy Stain is an incredible product, the light comfortable wear, the glossy finish, the amazing wear time,etc but just avoid the light pastel shades.
