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