beauty: YSL Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick

Last month I turned 20 (no longer a teenager! sob) and decided to treat myself to one special thing with my birthday money. Ever since swatching in a Duty Free, I've wanted a YSL Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick, which are fast becoming a cult beauty favourite - and for good reason! I had a £5 reward with my Debenhams Beautyclub card, so off I popped.

YSL do some amazing vibrant colours in this range, but I wanted an everyday shade that would go with everything. I tend to only wear darker, bolder colours on a night out - and there's no bloody way I'd ever take such an expensive lipstick out in my battered clutch with me like that! After a lot of deliberating I settled on Corail Intuitive (#15). I have yellow toned skin, so corals really suit me more than nudes and baby pinks.

Corail Intuitive is the most lovely peachy, pinky coral and literally the most perfect shade I've managed to come across (which is lucky, because it cost so bloody much).

The formula is unlike any other lipsticks I've tried - I get dry lips easily, so was impressed by the likes of Revlon's lip butters and so on, but this YSL baby is flawless! It covers any dry patches with a decent amount of pigmentation, lasts about 3 hours, and is soooo so so moisturising. I adore the finish, and would happily replace every lipstick in my collection with these beauts.
