YSL Fall 2009 Collection Sneak Peek – Part 1

YSL for Fall 2009 made our hearts flutter with its stunning promotional imagery. I’m not shocked, either! With the introduction of four new shades of Rouge Volupte, stunning quints, and new Gloss Volupte? I knew this collection was going to cause a stir. Today, let’s preview Frivolous Pink Rouge Volupte ($34.00) — my very favorite lipstick formula — which is a gorgeous shade of milky pink that runs just a touch cool, but it’s not nearly as cool or as pale as Lingerie Pink, but it is not as bright as Fetish Pink. It applies smoothly, evenly, and feels moisturizing as you wear it. This is one of the creamiest lipsticks I’ve had the pleasure of using.

Check out the swatches


Frivolous Pink, Iced Lychee (Gloss Volpute), Powdery Rose (Cream Blush)

      i looked at the pic & thought the same thing. “this is like a toned down saint germain”. now granted its not toned down all that much, but i feel like its less milky than saint germain…more wearable. I def. like this color a lot & def more so than saint germain.

    I love it on you!

    I just got my 3rd YSL rouge volupte in #4 yesterday. It’s my 3rd one as I also have the #10 and the #17. I love how pigmented and creamy the formula is. It’s my HG lipstick most definitely!

    Awww, I would love one of these lipsticks. I wish I could find them at a counter near me! This one is gorgeous but it reminds me a whole lot of MAC Creme Cup which looked just awful on me (apparently I’m freakishly warm-toned).

    Not for me. I don’t do these pale pink shades.

      Monday, June 29, 2009

      Maybe one of the vampier shades will be more up your alley!

    its limited right? :(

    • Christine

      Monday, June 29, 2009

      I don’t think so, actually. I believe they are permanent additions.

      • Ashley

        Sunday, July 5, 2009

        thank goodness i thought they were limited and i don’t think my wallet could handle buying multiple backups for this!! :)

    omg, frivolous pink is absolutely gorgeous!!! do you know exactly what day this comes out?

    • Christine

      Unfortunately, I just have the month it’ll be on counter. It’s definitely hit or miss, too, because I’ve been to one store with it out and another without when it comes to high-end brands. I’d call your local YSL counter and ask them to call you when it is on-counter.
