Rouge Pur Couture

I absolutely love these lipsticks, they are super creamy in texture and pigmented. I love the feeling they leave on my lips, they feel hydrated and not to mention they last on all day.

I have been a Fusion Ink foundation user for several years and absolutely loved it...went to purchase a refill last week and find out it had been discontinued. :( So I carefully read the description of this new 'All Hours' foundation, and decided it surely must be the new & improved version of my old favorite. When I tried it, I honestly thought this must be some kind of joke. It is COMPLETELY different in every way, but the worst part of it is that it feels like actual clay that you're trying to 'painfully' rub onto your face. It's literally the most dry and cakey consistency that you have to drag onto your face and completely pull your skin in order to try to get it off of your finger and onto your face. The texture is appalling, when compared to the beautiful silky fusion ink one. :( I still am in disbelief that this is really a product that any company let alone YSL would ever put out. Have been a faithful and enthusiastic YSL customer for years, but have to go to the mall tonight to return it and start searching for a new foundation from a different company. « less

Rose Stiletto is one of my favorite lipsticks it is a warm toned rich berry rose shade with a neutral mauve tint and a light shimmer to top it off. I love this color because I was able to pair it with my favorite lip liner. Although it has a rose tint it complimented my olive undertones of my skin. Every time I wear it I get a lot of compliments. I love that it has a smooth texture and its light weight. It is long lasting and it carries a really good pigmentation. It keeps my lips well moisturized which is hard to find in a lipstick a lot of the times lipsticks will make my lips dry but this one really held up all night! I recommend this shade to anyone who wants a pretty lip that's not too dramatic but the perfect amount of fun & naturally beautiful.

I love the super-thin square shape of YSL’s new luxury lipstick. It allows for easy application with a tip that achieves that precise shape of the lips. It gives full coverage and is richly pigmented, providing a longwearing matte colour. The formula glides over the lips without drying them out. It feels extremely light and comfortable on the lips. Overall, a great lipstick that gives great results. 

I’m not sure what the issue is with this product. I have no problem with the applicator. It’s easy enough. I actually like it because it’s small, thin, and travels well. It’s easy to apply for me. I don’t find it harder than any other lip product.As for color and pigment I can’t find better. I’m incredibly picky when it comes to my makeup especially matte lip products. I have semi oily skin that nothing stays on. Even bandages won’t stick for long. I have found this to be creamy with a matte but not dry finish. Because of it being creamy the texture is a bit tacky but it is very minimal. I would say less tacky than almost any other long wear lip products. For me I only have to reapply maybe 2-3 times a day which is the holy grail for me. I host 4-5 meetings a day, talking almost non stop, handle phone calls, and of course eat. It stays even with some transfer. 4 hours later I still have good color with wear out in the middle. Best of all it is non drying. Plus I have no clue what the sent is people are complaining about. What ever is there doesn’t bother me.The price is high but you get what you pay for. There is a reason this brand is the price it is. Not all expensive products are worth it but this is. I tried other colors at the store and will be going back for more. I’m hoping they bring out more colors as I’m still on the lookout for the perfect nude for my skin tone.I’m not in love with YSL brand as I recently came across it. I am typically a Lancôme lover. But their matte lip options need improvement. Every drug store brand I’ve tried is horrible and sits in the closet. I’ve tried products from almost all brands at Sephora and department stores and so far the two different matte lip products from YSL are my constant go too. Less
