Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture #7 Le Fuchsia

After picking up quite a few neutral lipsticks I decided to add some color to my life.  I love bright pink and purple lipsticks so I thought YSL's Le Fuchsia would be right up my alley.  I now love the Rouge Pur Couture formula.  I actually prefer it to the Rouge Volupte's and find that this formula last longer on me.

Although the packaging isn't as fancy as the Rouge Voluptes, it is still luxurious and pretty and I still like it a lot.  I will definitely purchase more shades in this formula as I have really been enjoying this shade.

 
This shade is so nice and I will definitely use this often.  Have you tried the Pur Couture formula?  Do you prefer it to the Rouge Volupte?

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick - #28 Beaubourd Brown

Sitting here watching Tia and Tamera and I swear I want every outfit Tamera wears which means I need a wardrobe upgrade.  The problem with that is it's so gloomy here in Germany sometimes that I don't even want to dress cute.  But hey that isn't what we are here for.  We're here for lipstick!  Another YSL lipstick and another neutral color.

This is an easy nude color for me.  It isn't chalky or too pale and since it's creamy, there is no need to wear a gloss.  This is one of my new favorite nude lippies.

Thanks for stopping by!  Up next we will have some color...enough with the nudes!

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick - #3 Ultimate Beige

I added a couple more YSL Rouge Voluptes to my collection!  I fell in love after hauling the last two and I thought that I definitely needed more YSL in my life.  One thing that I have to say about these lipsticks though is although they are pigmented and creamy, they just don't last very long on the lips.  This is probably because they are so creamy and might be solved by wearing a lip liner, which I hate wearing usually.  Also, I don't know about you, but my lips are extremely dry and these do not wear off well on me.  They look horrendous after about an hour and a half if I don't reapply or refresh them with a bit of lip rubbing.  Okay, so why did I buy these again?  Oh yeah, for the pigmentation, the pretty colors and the gorgeous packaging of course...and because I'm a makeup addict!

It's not really Beige to me as it leans more pink and is darker than I expected it to be but this is a gorgeous color and very wearable for my complexion.  I like that this is a no manipulation needed lipstick, meaning I don't have to add a bunch of other products in order to make it work.  

See what I mean, it looks a little pinky nude on me. Well the baby is waking up so I gotta go!

Yves Saint Laurent Blush Radiance #5

I'm currently sitting on the floor trying to type with one hand while my baby, who sweats like crazy when she sleeps, is propped on my shoulder!  This is why I have a hard time keeping up with my blog sometimes.  Most of the time I just like to sit and watch her sleep which is not the most productive thing in the world but she's so stinking cute.  I really don't know how some moms find the time to blog regularly while raising their kids and some have jobs too.  Do you guys sleep?  I remember when I had my son and I worked crazy hours, I really don't know how I did it.


I am trying to do a better job at time management though because I really enjoy blogging and vlogging and I don't want to be a slacker at it.  I'm going to come up with some sort of schedule that works hopefully because all my attempts seem to fail miserably! 


Now with that all being said, I do somehow find time to shop!  I recently hauled some YSL goodies and the first one that I want to show you all is the blush of course.  I've become somewhat of a blush whore lover lately and I fell in love with this one when I saw swatches online. 


The packaging is shiny gold as per all of the YSL makeup items that I own and they are a pain to photograph!  Glare for days but it is gorgeous to look at in person.

Now I can't do even a mini review on this one as I have only swatched it but my first impression is that it's a gorgeous color but it looks so tiny in the pan.  Also, I think this color is very dupeable and while I won't send it back, I definitely wouldn't purchase another one of these unless I really LOVE the color. 


Do you indulge in high end blushes or do you find them to be overpriced and dupeable?

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick featuring Spicy Pink & Soft Beige

Why oh why did I ever start reading beauty blogs?  They have totally creating a bigger makeup monster than I was already.  I never in a million years thought I would become a lipstick addict but here I am and I love it!  I was recently reading Rai's blog and she did a post on the Rouge Volupte lipstick in the color #25 Soft Beige.  I immediately went online and ordered that color and I decided to get one more color after seeing some swatches online.  I have to say that I am so mad because they are awesome which means I want more!!!

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE VOLUPTE SILKY SENSUAL RADIANT LIPSTICK SPF 15
Shades:  #20 Spicy Pink, #25 Soft Beige 
Available at Neiman Marcus
$34.00 USD

Loves:  Love the shades that I picked.  They are so smooth and creamy.  Great pigmentation.  Packaging is awesomely luxurious and the tubes have a mirror on the top!  How awesome is that?  Very awesome!

Hates:  Freakin slippery little suckers!  They glide on so smoothly which means they glide off of the lips pretty easily.  I only get a couple of hours of wear out of these but they are awesome during those two or three hours.

Aren't they lovely!  I already ordered two more.
