Fall 2021 Lip Products: Clinique, Gucci, YSL
I’ve got three sets of lip products to share swatches of! First, there are seven shades in the Clinique Pop Reds Collection ($21.00 each), which are all red-based shades.
Next, there are five new shades in the Gucci Sheer Lipstick ($40.00 each) range. YSL The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 each) is a new formula available in eleven shades. Enjoy the swatches!
I feeling I’m seeing quintuple with those YSL lipsticks…
Because I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed here, I’ll just wait on the reviews. Those are a lot of lipstick shades!
I love these groups of swatches so much!
Clinique’s offering: I think there are a few too many similar shades going on here – and lots of the reds seem to have pink undertones – meaning they will turn pink on me.
Gucci: too sheer for my preference
YSL: Stunning as always – and there are some gorgeous shades here.
I just wonder about the longevity of those slim casings – does the lipstick break inside them more easily?
7 of those 11 YSL shades look nearly identical on the lips and nearly identical to ALL the Clinique shades, which also look nearly identical to each other.
So you could just buy 1 and yet feel you own all 14.
Except that I have about 20 lipsticks that shade! 🙊
I’ll be interested in the Clinique reds but the other 2 products – $40 ($50 here in Canada) for what seems to be basically Revlon Lip Butters or MAC Patentpolish (gee, I miss both of those)….no thanks. I’ll hang onto my cash.
As some have stated, the similarity in reds is notable; besides slight undertones, you could get away with almost any and be happy. However, the Clinique look like they want to burst out of their seams and feather all over, while the YSL look sharp! I love the rich velvety finish on the YSL.
Fatal Carmin would be exactly where I’d put my money, if I needed another red lip.
I love some of the YSL colors but $39?! I can’t wait to discover some dupes!
