YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks

These days I choose my lipstick very carefully. I need a moisturizing formula that keeps my lips nourished under a mask, stylish during virtual meetings and protected from winter’s wrath. 

The YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks ($50.00) are exactly what I was looking for. They were released late in the holiday season as a collector’s edition - inspired by wild parties and festive trends. The gorgeous packaging features the brand’s elegant logo surrounded by animal print and glitter.

Each vibrant shade is enriched with 6 sensorial oils which give the formula a supple, melted texture that feels amazing on dry, sensitive skin. The smooth pigment glides on effortlessly and drenches lips in supple, long-lasting hydration.

I love the brilliant shine - it creates a healthy, voluminous effect with light to medium coverage and exceptional comfort .

The YSL 3D All Over Glow ($63.00) is a universal, multi-use highlighter and finishing powder designed to compliment all skin tones. This radiant champagne hue has a natural finish that looks beautiful in indoor and outdoor lighting and the silky finish applies seamlessly on all skin textures.

The Fusion Ink Cushion Foundation ($80.00) in Wild Shimmer is classified as a highlighter and there is only one shade available. It has a similar ivory-champagne tone but the color payoff is sheer and subtle. It also has visible glitter particles and provides less coverage. I’m not really a fan of the wet cushion and the sponge applicator doesn’t blend evenly.

YSL has also decked out their classic Touche Eclat Radiant Touch Highlighter Pen ($52.00) in the same fashionable print but Ivory is only shade available. I usually love this product – the texture, glow and effortless application, but this color is too light for me.

If you’d like to try this limited-edition collection most products are still available online at yslbeauty.ca and you might find them at department store counters and Sephora.
