YSL Peach Passion Rouge Volupte Lipstick


Peach Passion is a peachy coral shade with the creamiest texture of any lippy I've ever owned or tried. When I first swatched it on the back of my hand I couldnt believe how creamy it was! I Was mid conversation with my mum while swatching and it slipped right across the back of my hand! Not only is the formula crazily creamy but the coverage is fully opaque. Maybe even too opaque at times. Honestly, you barely need to touch your lips to get full coverage.  The consistency is great for anyone with dry lips. I don't find it clings to or highlights any dryness and I never need to use a balm first. But with that positive comes a negative - it only lasts around an hour on me.

Do I even need to mention the packaging? No, but I'm going to anyway. We all have certain products that make us feel special whenever we use them and this is one of mine. It looks special, it feels special and it attracts alot of attention. YSL can do no wrong packaging wise in my eyes. Another thing I love is the shape of the lipstick. The almost flat top works alot better for me as my lips are stupidly thin. With regular shaped lipstick I have to be careful I dont end up with lippy a mile above my lip line.

Peach Passion might not be the most Autumnal colour but this doesn't bother me in the slightest. It'll be great for smokey eye days and it'll keep my lips feeling nice and soft in this horrible weather we've been having.

Huge thanks to Lina for creating a Rouge Volupte monster! :)

    1. I can see why some people wouldn't like the texture. I wasn't sure about it at first but I like how it doesn't dry out my lips as the day goes on.

    1. I think I might treat myself to a berry shade. I bet the creamy finish would look lovely in a darker colour.

    1. They are but I have a feeling they won't last too long though as they're so buttery soft.

    1. This shade is forever out of stock in my local Debenhams, I never got the chance to swatch it before it made it's way into my life. <3 The price tag is a killer.

    1. I'm forever rubbing my lips together when I'm wearing lippy so I enjoy the 'slip'. I don't mind having to reapply often, it means I get to look at the packagaing again! haha
