YSL Chase Me Nude, Devour Me Plum, Undress Me Volupte Liquid Colour Balms Review, Photos, Swatches
Chase Me Nude
YSL Chase Me Nude Volupte Liquid Color Balm ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a soft, pinky-coral with faint gold pearl. It had medium coverage that applied fairly evenly and deepened my lip color a bit more than I anticipated based on the color it swatched. It applied fairly evenly but there was a touch of product that settled into my lip lines. The consistency felt watery initially but then felt a bit more balm-like within a few minutes and was minimally tacky. It lasted for two hours on me and was moderately hydrating.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.2 oz. - $160.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "medium coverage" with a "high shine liquid lip color that deeply moisturizers." First thing I noticed was that the three shades I tried all darkened within a few minutes, so often what I saw on the doe-foot applicator was not what actually ended up being on my lips. The gloss has a very watery texture initially, as it felt rather wet, and it did not apply that well, but it seemed to self-level to an extent and looked smoother and more even within a minute of application. There was no tackiness, and the gloss had a thinner, moderately emollient feel overall, which meant that it did not last long--two to three hours--but the formula was moderately hydrating. I didn't think it was that much of a "high shine" formula as the shine didn't last for long (even doing nothing). The gloss had a sweet, fruity scent but no discernible taste.

Devour Me Plum
YSL Devour Me Plum Volupte Liquid Color Balm ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a dark, reddish-plum with subtle, warm undertones and faint, lighter gold pearl. It had medium to semi-opaque pigmentation with a thin, watery texture that thickened slightly (and felt less cool/wet) to a thin, balm-like feel–more slip and creaminess. The color went on more evenly and seemed to smooth out my lip lines overall. The gloss seemed to stain a little, though the wear was closer to three hours on me with respect to coverage and shine. It felt moderately moisturizing to me.

Undress Me
YSL Undress Me Volupte Liquid Color Balm ($32.00 for 0.20 oz.) is a rich, medium orange with warm, red undertones and barley-there pearl. It had medium pigmentation, as described, but the color did not apply evenly and did not seem to self-level much, so the end result was slightly splotchy coverage that did gather in my lip lines somewhat. The texture felt watery when I initially applied it, but it “set” to a slightly creamier, more balm-like consistency that did not feel as “wet” on my lips. It wore well for three hours and left a faint stain behind, while the formula was moderately hydrating.

I’m really struck by “Chase Me Nude”. I’ve been ‘grazing’ cosmetics counters lately looking for a warmer coral-pink that has enough color and strength to not be an MLBB but still good for relatively conservative office and business settings. I shall check this out.
I love Devour Me Plum. The color is nowhwere near what “plum” typically looks like in lipstick color; but, it is so pretty.I wear it over Amorous by MAC because I like how those two colors look together.
The shades themselves look really nice for more casual days, but the 2 to 3 hour weartime has me a bit concerned at this price point. Otherwise, I’d grab up Chase Me Nude!
Chase Me Nude looks so nice!
I got this in Grab Me Red and I’m absolutely in love with the formula! It’s a lot more pigmented than I expected and that color stains, so it lasts a lot more than 2 hours on me. It’s also really comfortable. I plan to get more colors!
Lovely shades, YSL – Undress Me??? And for the price, they should be A+.
If these were $20 I’d be all over it.
