Finally, 6 months after my last two posts about my other Voluptee lipsticks, my last one has arrived. Purchased at the same time as the others, this is probably my favourite one of them all. As you can see, it’s a soft orange colour, with the same formula as the others. Very smooth, moisturizing and comfortable to wear, and during my hating-wearing-heavy-makeup phase I’m in, this is everything I want.
I’m sure we’re all aware of my redness which ruins my life. Therefore, using orange and peachy tones on my skin and in my make up really helped to lighten up my complexion and freshens my face a bit, while avoiding a red overload. This fresh colour makes it perfect for spring and summer, although I did get this back in December and have been wearing it regularly since.
Another hit by YSL – but that’s all my Voluptees, blogged about. Perhaps time to get another few in duty free to write about?

Todays purchases. Hehehe. Some retail therapy is always needed. Expect a little post popping up on these beauties soon!

Like I said in my last post about Volupte Sheer Candys, I love the formula. Like a soft balm, but with nice pigmentation and gives a gorgeous look to the lips. This is the second lipstick out of three I’ll be posting about, and potentially my favourite. It’s a hot watermelon pink, but it’s surprisingly wearable for everyday. You can build it up but just a hint of colour looks great in my opinion. It smells like watermelon, and I can’t get enough of it! Like I said in my last post, if you do get a chance to get a hold of these, I would definitely recommend them.

YSL volutpe sheer candy no6–luscious cherry

YSL are famed for having beautiful lipsticks. Their Rouge Volupte lipsticks are loved by bloggers to editors, and there was a rather excited buzz around when they launched the Volupte Sheer Candy’s. Supposed to be an almost balm like texture with light pigmentation and fun colours, these seemed right up my street.

The packaging is beautiful – heavy, sturdy and something you’d be proud to pull out on the train. The Rouge Volupte lipsticks are gold, rather than silver, which is the only difference on the outside. The band round the middle is the colour of the product inside which I adore – it makes storage a million times easier while still being chic.

The colour of no 6, is a stunner. In the tube it looks like a watermelon, bright cherry red pink, with no obvious shimmers. It reminds me of being somewhere warm, and summer, but once the colour is on my mid-toned lips, it translates as something you could wear in both summer and winter. Pared with paler skin and darker eyes, it looks beautiful – almost a berry, darker shade, the perfect daytime winter lip colour. Add heaps of mascara and a bit of bronzer and it comes off slightly brighter, something you wouldn’t look out of place at a festival with. It’s an absolutely beautiful lipstick and I have well and truly fell in love with the lipstick itself, and the whole line.

It’s certainly a splurge-y item, at £23.50 a pop, but if you had the cash to spend, I would definitely recommend them. Something to spend your Christmas money on, perhaps?!
