Fuchsia for the Futuree!

Product Review: YSL FARD À LÈVRES ROUGE PUR SPF 8


I honestly much prefer the ysl fard a lèvres over their infamous rouge volupté lipstick. Fact being that the rouge volupté is more of a creamy texture which when applied, feels more sticky and easily smudgable. As for the fard a lèvres, the stay power seems to last longer, which means i don't have to constantly check myself in the mirror for smudges and mess ups. I mean c'mon who wants a lipstick that bleeds all over your mouth like you just made out with somebody.


One thing about this lipstick that i wish they had done better in is the packaging. Not like the rouge volupté, where it's heavy duty and very well constructed, the packaging of this lipstick is made of plastic, painted gold. It's super lightweight and just doesn't give that luxurious feeling as what the rouge volupté gives when you hold it. But that's just my opinion.


These retail for $30.00 at Sephora. A bit pricey for a lipstick though, especially since the packaging suck. But overall, worth the price for the texture and stay power, plus the fact that it stays true to color when applied.
