Review - YSL Rouge pur pure lipsticks

I have ben waiting for a long time to write a review on my favorite makeup brand - YSL. No other brand lipsticks, not even Mac are so long lasting as these ones. Out of my whole lipstick collection YSL -Rouge Pur pure are the only lipsticks which lasts the longest without a need to re apply. 

YSL has different collection of lipsticks. I prefer Rouge Pur Pure over Rouge Pur Couture. Rouge pur Couture is a new collection. Though the formula is similar to Rouge Pur Pure, Rouge Pur Couture is glossier than Rouge Pur Pure.

Rouge Pur Pure
Price - 1630/-


L-R : 52, 50, 143, 120
Top - Bottom : 120, 143, 50, 52

YSL Rouge Pur Pure No. 52 (Rouge Rose) - This is a rosy coral color. I use it slightly as a tint on my lips as this looks like a neon coral color.

YSL Rouge Pur Pure No. 50 (Rose Flamboyant) - This is the perfect bright pink color which I have always been looking for. Its my favorite lip color for a night out. 

YSL Rouge Pur Pure No. 143 (Rouge Enflamme) - This was my first ever red lipstick. Its a blazing red color somewhat similar to tomato red.

YSL Rouge Pur Pure No. 120 (Le Rouge) - My second favorite color after No. 50. Its a deep red color.


Pros:
  1. The gold casing is beautiful.
  2. The lipstick formulations is neither too glossy nor drying. It sits perfectly on your lips like a matte lipstick
  3. It is very long lasting. It stays the longest out of all the lipsticks I have tried till date.
  4. Does not fade out completely. A strong hint of color is always there till the time you remove it with a makeup remover.
Cons:
  1. Its quite expensive. Double the price of Mac. So invest in these intelligently. Only for the colors you would truly love.
  2. The casing gets finger prints very easily. So even though its beautiful, its a pain to maintain the casing.
  3. It is not moisturising but its not drying as well. 



Ratings: ✰✰✰✰(-1 for being so expensive)
Will I buy this again: I have taken watever colors I liked from this collection. Planning on trying Rouge Pur Couture next. The red in that collection is really pretty! :)
