In honor of YSL’s online Friends and Family sale (which starts today and runs through December 20), I’ve got a few YSL swatches to show you today and tomorrow — in case you were on the fence about these items.
Back in early fall of last year, YSL released 18 shades of a new formula of lipstick: the full coverage, absurdly creamy Rouge Volupte (click here for swatches of the original 18). Well since then, YSL has created 8 additional shades. I actually find the shade names somewhat distracting, since they use color words that I wouldn’t necessarily have applied to these shades. Spicy Pink? Mauve, really.
Rouge Volupte lipsticks are $34 each — what better time to buy than when you can take 20% off? They also have the classic YSL mango scent.
YSL Rouge Volupte: Frivolous Pink, Spicy Pink, Vibrant Brown, Exquisite Plum, Luscious Pink, Praline Delight, Soft Beige, Tender Peach
>I have been waiting forever in beauty blogdom for these swatches. I knew you would be the one to come through for us.
I wish I could take advantage of this sale but alas, YSL doesn't ship to Canada.
>ah was looking for swatches of these the other day, brilliant! have already ordered exquisite plum and love the look of vibrant brown and praline delight too.. thanks!

What is your favorite lipstick for moisture and staying power? I’m loving these YSL but they are rather pricey. Worth it?
Karla, would u be able to do swatches of YSL’s rouge pur (the normal ones, not the shines!) lipsticks?
U always do the best swatches
