YSL LIPSTICKS



I got five Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant lipsticks and one Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine lipstick. I purchased them from different stores: Sephora Online , Sephora Store (Bahrain), Debenhams (Bahrain) and Duty Free Shop (Dubai Airport).  






Prices: 

Sephora Online $35
Sephora Store (Bahrain) BD21 - $55.65
Debenhams (Bahrain)  BD21 - $55.65
Duty Free Shop (Dubai Airport)  DHS151.00 - $41.11 

Packaging:

It comes in an elegant and luxe gold case. The tube is adorned with an intricate carving of YSL logo that cleverly shows the shade of the lipstick. It contains 0.14 oz or 4g of product.





  

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE VOLUPTÉ SILKY SENSUAL RADIANT LIPSTICK SPF15


An extremely smooth and creamy lipstick that provides a radiant color. They are intensely pigmented and has a unique color-shine complex. It nourishes lips and keeping them smooth, soft, comfortable and more radiant. It's made with a long lasting and comfortable formula that contains SPF 15. It has a fruity scent to it.


YSL Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick - #3 Ultimate Beige

This is described as mauve taupe. I took a lot of photos of this lipstick but I just couldn't capture the exact shade. In person, it is a more of like a pinky brown nude shade.

YSL  Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick - #17 Red Muse

YSL  Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick - #31 Fuchsia Storm

This lipstick is a bit sheer compared to the YSL Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant lipstick but it is still pigmented. It will give your lips a dazzling color. It has a very nice and smooth texture. Glides easily on the lips, very moisturizing and provides a luminous shine. It has the same fruity scent that the Silky Sensual Radiant lipstick has.

YSL VOLUPTÈ BLUSH AND DIORBLUSH

I've never own any YSL and Dior blushes before. I only have MAC and Nars blushes. I've heard so much about these blushes from Youtube videos and blogs so, I decided to give them a try. 

These blushes came in a mirrored compacts. I love the sleek packaging. They both came with velvet pouches which will protect the packaging from scratch. I mentioned in my video that they both have black velvet pouches but I was wrong. The Dior one has a dark blue pouch that looks similar to the packaging. I got these blushes from Sephora online.









Heart of Light Powder Blush #6 Passionnee

This blush has two different shades and finishes that will give you a beautiful glow. The square at the center is a peachy shade with golden sparkles to it. Then, around it is a warm-toned pink shade. It has a mild floral scent to it that I really like. It comes with a portable brush which in my opinion is useless. This retails for $47 and it contains 9g of product.

Here are the swatches of the two shades. The top one is the highlighter which is the square at the center and the bottom is the blush around that square.

Here are the swatches of both shades mix together. (Without and with flash)




Vibrant Colour Powder Blush 876 Happy Cherry

This is a vibrant pink shade but flatters olive skin tones or skin with yellow undertone like I have. It applies much more muted as it appears in the pan. It  has a nice texture and blends smoothly onto your skin. It comes with an angled brush applicator which again I'm not going to use. I like bigger brushes to apply my blush. This retails for $44 and contains 7g of product.

You can purchase these blushes at Sephora, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus in-store and online.

COLLECTIVE HAUL

I just uploaded a haul video on my Youtube channel. It's a collective beauty and fashion haul. I don't really have that much fashion related things but I went a little bit crazy with makeup. I think I have an addiction to makeup! Need to stop!

So, I mentioned in my video about my upcoming holiday giveaway. I AM GOING TO DO IT NEXT MONTH. I'm gonna give away 1 Urban Decay Vice 3 palette. I am still thinking of what to add, maybe a YSL lipstick or Urban Decay lipstick. I will see. Whoever wins will get the prizes before or just right in time for Christmas. It will be a Christmas present! Who doesn't love presents?
