YSL Rouge Volupte - Opera Rose

  

YSL Rouge Volupte in Opera Rose

Over the past few months, the blogging world has gone mad for this high end lipstick. The YSL Rouge Volupte is undoubtedly one of the prettiest looking lipsticks I've ever come across! I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to gorgeous, shiny things and this glamorous, gold product definitely draws you in. Its the perfect lipstick to display on your dressing table in all it's YSL glory. I also like how the shade is shown through the middle of the packaging, so you know which colour you're looking at before you open it.

 
I received this little beauty as a Christmas gift and I really chose carefully when it came to which shade I wanted. I was tempted to go for one of the nude shades, something I could use everyday but then I thought screw it! I'm going for a bright pink! So Opera Rose it was :)

I adore this lipstick. It's the perfect, luxurious gift but on the other hand I'm pretty sure I'll be paying £23.50 in the future to add another shade to my collection. It's the creamiest, smoothest lipstick I've ever used and that's no exaggeration! It glides onto your lips beautifully and is really well pigmented. As for staying power, I'd say it lasts for about 2 - 3 hours before needing to be reapplied, but I've only worn it without using a lip liner so I'm sure if I did apply lip liner first it'd last a bit longer.

So is it worth the hype - definitely! £23.50 is a hell of a lot of money to spend on one lipstick, but if you're looking for a gift or you just fancy treating yourself then you won't be disappointed. With the gorgeous packaging, the lovely range shades and the quality, it's worth every penny.
