Hii ♥
I thought I would get right into reviewing the stuff from my last haul. This is the third YSL Rouge Volupte I have purchased, and the second one I own. The last one I had purchased was #108 Celestial Mauve, and although I had loved the color, it just did not work for me. It was patchy and gross on my lips. This one, though, has proved to be better.

Price and Availabilty
$34. I purchased this at my local Nordstrom, but you can find it where ever YSL in sold.
Spellbinding Violet is a dark plum with gold and violet shimmer. It is very creamy and glossy. It can be applied sheer or built up for an intense violet color. Overall I have not found this color to be drying on my lips, although if I have some dry areas this will emphasize them a little. I like that this can be worn without a lip liner, but at the same time I feel that this can slide around a bit on my lips so perhaps wearing a lip liner would be a good idea.

Review
YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks are expensive. Since I have already had a bad experience with one, I was a little weary of buying another one. But I love this color so very much! It is definitely more of a fall/winter color, but it doesn't matter to me. I adore purple lipsticks and this is simply a beautiful color.
The formula is alright, it could be a little bit better. It slides nicely on too my lips, but I have to be careful that it won't move around too much. The longevity of the color isn't ha I would like; maybe 2-3 hours at most.
The smell of the lipstick is typical of YSL; a rose, watermelon scent. I personally love the scent!

What a bold lipstick shade! I don't think I have a lavender shade lipstick in my collection yet! You suit purple shades so well Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Gorgeous! The swatch looks like grape candy <3 Wanttt
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteI've been tempted by these, but so far resisted... you might have sold me just hearing about the scent! That sounds right up my alley! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThis looks quite different when applied, but lovely nonetheless! Oh Nancy you are making me want all these purple lipsticks! lol
ReplyDeleteSUCH a beautiful color. Definitely applies differently than the color you see in the tube, but I still love it! Fantastic shade!
