Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick is Phenomenal!

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34.00) comes in a variety of eighteen shades. They range from pale to bright, beige to berry. The formula is described as “light and covering, the cream texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips, for a delightful feeling and an exceptional gliding effect.” The packaging is obviously luxe with its golden tubes and elaborately designed ring that overlays the lipstick “shade.” On the top of each tube is a mirror, which, while small, is usable when you need a touch up.
Let me tell you why I LOVED these babies! This is, quite possibly, the creamiest, most pigmented, and deliriously glossy formula I have ever tried. All six colors were rich in color and hue, and they were spot-on in terms of what you see is what you get. So, they’re creamy (meaning they glide on like a dream), but they’re moisturizing and not in the least bit drying to boot! Glossiness? Oh, yes, indeed. It has such a glossy, reflective finish that makes you think there must be a gloss on top, but nope, that’s just the lipstick by itself.
I always wear gloss on top of my lipstick, because I love shine and glossy finishes–but I’ve been wearing these colors all by their lonesome and loving it! Of the six I have, my favorites are Caress Pink, Forbidden Burgundy, and Peach Passion. Tomorrow, after I do some swatching at MAC, I’ll be checking out the YSL counter to see if any others catch my fancy! And no, I don’t care one whit that these are $34 a pop. I consider them worth it! (P.S. – Cremesheen? After experiencing these, you have a lot to live up to!)
See a TON of packaging photos, lip swatches, and skin swatches!

Friday, September 26, 2008
They are SO amazing!!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
ooooh! I’m going to have to check these out. Thanks for the swatches.
Friday, September 26, 2008
Let me know how you like them, Milan! I love these.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
These looks so creamy and delicious. Not quite my colors, but beautiful all the same!
Friday, September 26, 2008
They’re deliciously lovely!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Ooooh I can’t wait to check these out today! Hopefully some of the other colors they have are more wearable though – I agree with you that the Caress Pink is the best from your 6. So did they send these to you to try? It was probably worth it, cuz it’ll get me to buy some :-P
Friday, September 26, 2008
I hope you check them out :)
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Caress Pink and Forbidden Burgundy look great!
Friday, September 26, 2008
I love them both!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
I have been craving these since I saw the packaging! Forbidden Burgundy is really nice…
Friday, September 26, 2008
Me too, Kristie! And they’re amazing as products, too.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
wow, the first of its kind! YSL is truly the starter of innovation. I’ve seen aqualumiere lipgloss, but these lipsticks are creamy, moisuturizing and glossy, I think this should be called the real 3-in-1 lipstick. I almost couldnt believe it when I saw the pictures. WOW, at last some advanced makeup formula for some practical use!
thanks for informing us!
Friday, September 26, 2008
I love these lipsticks SO much. I just can’t get over it.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
These are my DREAM lipsticks, totally opaque. Thanks for reviewing. I don’t like the cool light colours on you, it makes your skin tone look green; yikes! But the last three are warmer and much better!
Friday, September 26, 2008
Yes, mine too, Kella :)
Thursday, September 25, 2008
OMG these rocks!!!
I love Forbidden Burgundy!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it all!
Friday, September 26, 2008
Yes, they are A M A Z I N G.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
wow………..those look GORGEOUS!! I have to say though, i just got the 1 cremesheen that i ordered, and it is UNBELIEVEABLE!!! It’s so much creamier than amplified cream lipsticks, and has GREAT color payoff!! i’ll stick with those for now (cause my wallet can’t fathom $34 for 1 lippie right now…..)
Friday, September 26, 2008
Really? I didn’t find them to be very creamy at ALL! :(
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Holy cow I need these so bad!!!!!!! They are so gorgeous!
Friday, September 26, 2008
YES, you need ‘em, Crystal!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
I wish I wore lipstick! Haha. Forbidden Burgundy is SO gorgeous!!!
Friday, September 26, 2008
These will make you want to wear it, Leigh!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
omg christine i want them all minus the burgundy one. but i mustttt pick at least one up omg crazy pretty!!!
Friday, September 26, 2008
Yes, get at least one :) Or two or five or all…
Thursday, September 25, 2008
WOW! Super gorgeous & whoaaa pigmented! I definitely have to check these babies out! Particularly Caress Pink & Forbidden Burgundy! :)
Friday, September 26, 2008
They are SO pigmented, DELICIOUSLY so!!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
caress pink, lingerie pink, and peach passion is sooo pretty!
Friday, September 26, 2008
I love them all :)
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Agh I want all of these so, so bad.
When I got my Pur Black YSL gloss, they gave me a very neat sample of 4 of these. The bright red is killer.
The sample packagaing is awesome.. its like those flat foil gum packs where you pop the gum through the foil? Icebreakers I suppose?
The wells are large and all filled with this delicious lipstick, it came with a lip brush!
I love everything about them.. the scent the feel.
Friday, September 26, 2008
My Pur Black arrives on Monday, so exciting :)
Friday, September 26, 2008
its very cool.
Thank you for the correction =)
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Oh Christine, how you tempt my wallet!
Friday, September 26, 2008
These are totally a must-have. Not even exaggerating!
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Omg. Lingerie Pink is my calling. <33
Friday, September 26, 2008
Get it ;)
Thursday, September 25, 2008
wow these look fabulous!!! Where can I purchase these? Nordstrom?
Friday, September 26, 2008
Anywhere YSL counters are located – my Nordstrom’s is where my YSL counter is!
Friday, September 26, 2008
WOWZER! I totally dig the packaging. It’s calling the bling-bling demon in me. YSL was the first brand of lipstick I own and I’ve never been disappointed ever since. I go to MAC for variety but I never lost the love I have for YSL lipsticks. And Caress Pink, Forbidden Burgundy and Peach Passion hopefully will find a new home in my vanity case soon.
Friday, September 26, 2008
Haha, the bling bling demon! I’m getting addicted to YSL!
Friday, September 26, 2008
i will get 3 of those thanks for posting the swatches
after MAC …YSL is the only other brand i care for. I Love their Mascara. YSL is expensive but well worth it — great quality products in looovely packaging :)
Friday, September 26, 2008
I’m getting really into YSL lately!
Monday, September 29, 2008
yay thats great christine
you have to try their mascara the effet faux cils …i love it and you can get it in violet and blue and some other colors
the matte foundation is nice too
Monday, September 29, 2008
I’ll have to try it someday for sure :)
Friday, September 26, 2008
OOOO Bby, ;O the first three look beautiful to me! Been dying to find a great pale pink lipstick that is both creamy and this looks fabby..
Friday, September 26, 2008
You have to check these out then!
Saturday, September 27, 2008
Ahh! Where can I purchase it? I live in the UK *lip nibble* Is this only available in the US at the momentooo?
Monday, September 29, 2008
Hm, YSL is a pretty international brand, so if you don’t have it yet, you should definitely get it soon!
Friday, September 26, 2008
OMG! these are preeety. Fetish pink is calling to me!!!!!!
Friday, September 26, 2008
It’s a lovely color, LocaLoli!
Friday, September 26, 2008
The last three colors are TDF!!!!!
Friday, September 26, 2008
Yesss :D
Friday, September 26, 2008
I fall in love w/ Caress Pink and Forbidden Burgundy,
Christine this is LE from YSL ?
Friday, September 26, 2008
Hey hun! I don’t think these are LE. I believe these are new and sticking around. THEY HAVE TO BE PERM!
Friday, September 26, 2008
I want to see an FOTD (or many) with these lippies!!!
Monday, September 29, 2008
I’ve been definitely doing some!
Friday, September 26, 2008
Wow those colors are stunning, you look amazing in all of them. I have to admit, I WANT THEM ALL !!!!!!!
Monday, September 29, 2008
Thanks, Ruth! :)
Saturday, September 27, 2008
oh my goodness. the packaging is GORGEOUS.
and i love the light, nude-y colours!
Monday, September 29, 2008
They did an amazing job with the formula and the packaging!
Saturday, September 27, 2008
The very next day after seeing your review, I had to have one!!! Went to my nordstrom and bought the #1. Wore it out last night with a smoky eye, and I absouletely love it. Also, the girl gave me a little sample booklet that has #1, #8, #10, and #17. So glad you reviewed these.
Monday, September 29, 2008
Oh, nice! You’re so lucky to have scored the sample booklet ;) I’m also happy to hear you enjoyed it, too!! Nothing makes me happier then when I review something, a reader purchases, AND they like it, too.
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
they look fab on you Christine! Is forbidden burgundy less dark than it looks in the tube? I’ve been looking for a perfect plum color w/o too much cool purple tones in it and this might be it!
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Thanks, Meme! It’s pretty much the same color it looks on my lips when swatched. It’s probably just a touch lighter than what you see in the tube, but I find they’re fairly accurate to “what you see is what you get.”
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Over $30.00 is a lot to pay for a lipstick (here in Canada they are $38.00 ouch!). But I just tried them on your recommendation & they are gorgeous! I think I’ll pick up #4.
Friday, October 3, 2008
I’m glad you liked them! They are definitely worth the splurge if you can afford it :) Or else, holidays!
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
OMG! I totally need #7! I have been looking for that color for such a long time… thank you Christine! Does the picture of you wearing it look exactly like it does in real life?
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Yes! These photos are very true to color!
Saturday, November 29, 2008
Hi again lol, is lingerie pink a dupe for Snob. I have snob but snob has more purple undertones whereas #7 looks to be a true bubblegum. COuld you help me out?
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
It’s similar, but this one is cool toned. When I think of bubblegum pink, I think of a warmer pink, so I don’t know if this one is what you’re looking for.
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
i brought lingerie pink the other day and really want the peach and #1 now! there so creamy too
Thursday, January 29, 2009
Nice! They are sooo creamy, love ‘em.
Sunday, March 15, 2009
These are absolutely amazing! I purchased a few and I feel like a queen. They really give out a punch color and are a creamy dream. I don’t think they are extremely long wearing, but there is just something superior about these lipsticks.
Thursday, March 19, 2009
So glad I’m not the only one who likes them!
Thursday, March 19, 2009
I bought Nude Beige the other day and it is soooo creamy and long-lasting! I also got the Gloss Pur in Pure Coral, and looks pretty cool with the Nude Beige. I had actually gone with the intention of getting Peach Passion, but I chickened out cause it looked a little bright on my hand. Will definitely be going back now!!
Friday, March 20, 2009
I will have to try out the Pure Coral over my Rouge Voluptes! Glad you like ‘em Andrea :D
Monday, March 23, 2009
Love is more like it!!! Pure Coral also looked really nice with my High 90s slimshine this weekend :)
Monday, March 23, 2009
Nice!! Yay for Rouge Volupte fans <3
Friday, April 17, 2009
wow these are so gorgeous!!
i want lingerie pink, but it might be too much for me. i’ll probably get nude beige :)
Thursday, April 23, 2009
You can always sheer it out ;P
Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Your pictures sold me on these and I am now hooked on this line.
Thursday, April 23, 2009
YAY! So glad you love ‘em, Lena. Which ones do you have?
Sunday, April 26, 2009
I bought Peach Passion and got totally addicted. So I went and bought more today :(
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Which ones did you buy?
Sunday, May 3, 2009
I bought #8 and #9.. I want to go back and grab forbidden burgundy
Sunday, May 3, 2009
Awesome! You will love ‘em!
Thursday, June 25, 2009
I love them all ! So creamy. is there a MAC dupe for nude beige, caress pink and peach passion ???
Monday, June 29, 2009
Peach Passion might be similar to Ravishing. Caress Pink… maybe Sweetie, though it’s brighter. I’m not sure about Nude Beige.
Monday, June 29, 2009
these lipsticks are absolutely gorgeous, I really want them !!
Monday, June 29, 2009
They are amazing! You will love them!
Monday, July 6, 2009
Christine, please do a review on some of the other colours! Pink-based nudes don’t like me – I’m really interested in some of the other colours – particularly #2 Sensual Silk and #4 Sweet Honey. Also the new colours coming out with YSL’s autumn/winter collection!
Thursday, July 9, 2009
I did do a review of one of the new fall ones :)
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
I WANT THEM ALL!
And one day. I will have them all! Muahaha. :)
Saturday, July 18, 2009
Haha, that’s how I feel!
Thursday, September 17, 2009
I was wondering do you have to reapply these lipsticks often? I heard that you had to and I am completely in love with number 13. I just wanted to know before I made that big of a purchase for a lip product.
Friday, September 18, 2009
Hi Tricia,
I don’t find myself reapplying these too often. If I want it to go all day, I may reapply once or twice, but nothing excessive.
Monday, September 28, 2009
Hi Christine,
Can you recommend a pink one for nc35 skin? I tried the famous #7 but it just doesn’t like my warm skin tone. I already bought #1 nude beige and also the peach passion, I really need to find the perfect pink one! thanks alotttt!!!
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Frivolous Pink!! I think it came out for fall, but it’s gorgeous!
Sunday, October 4, 2009
These are AMAZING. I have the first one and it is absolutely GORGEOUS. I really want more but I only got one because it was duty free and in a set so my mom got one and I got one and they’re absolutely PERFECT. I REALLY want more but they’re sort of hard to find in Canada.
Monday, October 5, 2009
So glad you’re lovin’ these two, Val! :)
Sunday, October 18, 2009
I saw amazing reviews about these YSL lipsticks and i got the Lingerie Pink today. It is truly amazing. Very expensive but it is well worth it. I have never worn any lipstick that is that bright before. Do you have any recommendation for lip liner ? Thanks so much.
Monday, October 26, 2009
So glad you’re enjoying it, Mandy! I like using clear liner, actually, like UD’s!
Thursday, October 29, 2009
Thank you so much for the swatches, really helped me out picking a color for sephora F&F sale!
Friday, October 30, 2009
No problem, Alisha!
