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! :)

Review - Mac Kissable lipcolor

So I finally bought something from the peacocky collection that I liked. The texture of these lip colors is amazing. It is exactly like a gloss without the sticky feeling of a gloss. Though its not as shiny as a gloss, the  application is exactly the same and the color payoff is wonderful. Also its stays on longer as compared to mac lipglasses and cremesheen gloss. You do have to reapply after two hours or so (atleast for me coz I tend to bite my lips) but it feels really light on the lips as if you havnt applied anything. The color becomes lighter after sometime so do not worry if it looks bright in the tube. I have bought the color Exx-Hibitionist. It is the prettiest coral lipcolor I own as of now. I even wanted Scan-de-licious which is a hot pink color. But as the collection was launched one week back here in India, half of the colors were already out of stock. 

Below are the 12 Lip colors in this Collection:

• Enchantée: A Pink with blue undertone
• Exxxhibitionist: A coral color
• Temper Tantra: A Brown with Red undertone
• Love Peck: A Dark Red Color
• Peacocky: A Blue color (I wonder why this color) 
• Flaunting It: A dark mauve Color

• So Vain: A light coral color with Pink undertone
• Scandelicious: A Fushia pink with Red undertone
• Super: A Brown Nude color
• Strut Your Stuff: A true Red color
• Vanity Fair: A Pink color with Blue undertone
• Woo Me: A Pink Nude color

Price : 1150/- INR

Pros: 

• Pigmented colors
• Light texture
• More staying power than a gloss
• Does not bleed/feather
• Is not sticky like a gloss

Cons:

• Limited edition.
• Pricy compared to Mac lipglass and Mac Cremesheen
