YSL Rouge Volupte: Number 1, Nude Beige

I finally caved!

I purchased my first YSL lipstick. Of course I wanted to start with the famous Rouge Volupte range. After toying for months about the idea of buying Lingerie Pink as it seemed like the "it" colour to have, I went and looked at it in Debenhams, and wasn't too sure it suited my skin tone.

After more research online, my mind was set on number two "Sensual Silk", but then randomly when it came to ordering, I changed my mind at the last minute and put number one "Nude Beige" into my basket. And I am so glad I did.

Nude Beige is a lot pinker than I expected (this is a good thing) and I fear Sensual Silk would have been too nude.

I believe I have found the happy medium between the two afore mentioned lippies, and I am happy, happy, happy!

The lipstick is just beautiful, inside and out.

After resisting this range for so long, due to their high price range, I am glad I finally decided to treat myself. After all whats the halm in wanting the beautiful things in life?!

What are your favourite YSL shades?

Loves,

Poppy King for Boots No. 7

Last week I was sent a brand new lipgloss to review. The lipgloss in question is an exciting new collaboration between lip stick Queen Poppy King and Boots Number 7. The new range features 7 shades especially developed by Poppy King to celebrate the magic of lipstick: History, Power, Glamour, Seduction, Intrigue, Confidence and Allure.

Poppy King is an Australian entrepreneur. She is best known for her company Poppy Industries and the range of cosmetics available at Poppy Stores in Australia, during the 1990s. Poppy is renowned for creating a daring range of lip products born from her love affair with lipstick and designed to make every woman feel special.

"It was in danger of going the way of the Sony Walkman," Poppy King says of the fate of lipstick, the once essential cosmetic that's spent the last decade in the shadows of sparkly gloss. But with opaque shades of orange and fuchsia all the rage on the Fall runways, a bolder approach is back in favor, and who better to lead the charge than this Aussie native and former Estée Lauder executive? Now she's collaborated with No7 to create a gorgeous range of must-have lipsticks and glosses.

I received one of the lipglosses in number 5 "Intrigue" which is described as a "pinkish nude".

On Intrigue, Poppy says; "For over a century now women have been intrigued by the ritual art of dressing up their lips. For this look I designed a subtle pinkish nude that is incredibly flattering without being fussy. The right lip colour will light up your skin and hair giving you a stunning glow - Intrigue is the colour of natural lips, but bolder and brighter".

And here's what I say;;;

Although I feel this colour isn't best suited for my skin tone, there is no denying that the formula is highly pigmented, long lasting, non sticky and shiny.

All the shades in the collection are really wearable and it's nice to see a sensible brand such as No. 7 colaborating with such a quirky brand which is proven in the choice of packaging they have produced for the collection. It's colourful and fun.

All lipsticks and lipglosses are onsale now in Boots stores or online and retail at £12 and £11 respectively.

Disclosure: I was sent this free lipstick to review. All views and opinions expressed are my own.
