YSl Rouge Volupte – #17 Red Muse

Packaging (5/5)

What can I say?  It’s YSL.  No-one – and I mean no-one – does packaging like YSL.  This came in a fantastic, heavy gold case which is just…. breathtakingly beautiful.

Quality of Product (5/5)

This is a beautiful lipstick.  It is a classic and luscious YSL lipstick.

One hint when using this lipstick is to layer the colour.  Don’t just smear on one layer and leave it at that.  I find this lipstick works best when you have a few coats on.

In the picture above (excuse my lip furriness, I’m seeing my beautician tomorrow), I’m wearing three coats.  And this was taken about 12 hours after I first applied it, without a single touchup.  So wonderfully vibrant, even after a full day in the office.

Unfortunately, this picture does not do the colour justice.  This is a beautifully bright ‘look at me’ shade.  But it also has a wonderful warmth which I need for my skin.

Price (3/5)

This was pretty expensive ($AUD50).  But oh so worth it!

Would I buy again

Absolutely I would buy this again.  If you love strong colours – or if you are inspired by the looks of Dita Von Teese or Katy Perry, you will love these lipsticks.
