New! YSL Rouge Volupté Shine: Review, Photos, Swatches

Be still my beating heart! We are total fangirls when it comes to the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick line - check out some of our favourites here. We fell for the Perle variety when it along a summer or two ago and now YSL are playing havoc with our heartbeat yet again.

"Succumb to the unique sensorial experience of Rouge Volupté Shine", invites the brand, and janeymac if that isn't exactly what we've done. Encased in the same drop-dead-gorgeous packaging - seriously, nothing even comes close - is a new line of 19 creamy, dreamy, soft-as-butter, melt-onto-your-lips typa shades.

I've got three to show you - Rose In Tension, Chocolate In Style and Nude In Private. They're not the first colours I would pick out of the line up - my eye's on that stunning violet at the bottom right - but they are all an absolute pleasure to use. With the signature fruity YSL scent (mango, apparently, who knew?) and a uniquely comfortable, smoothing and lightweight texture, these babies are a real class act.

The formula contains twice as many soft waxes as a standard lipstick, and that, along with the silicon oils and hyaluronic acid in the mix, ensure they glide onto the lips and deliver a plumped up, glossy pout. No, they aren't the most longlasting lipsticks in the world, but look at them - is pulling that case out of your handbag ever going to get old? I didn't think so.

The shiny, wet look finish means these aren't for diehard matte lovers, but if comfort, colour and shine are what you're after, with a hefty dollop of luxury on the side, then these will more than fit the bill. They're €31.50 and will be on counter from mid March, so look for 'em from the end of this week.
