YSL Chestnut Corset & Burgundy Bodysuit Rouge Volupte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Chestnut Corset (154)
YSL Chestnut Corset (154) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted red with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. The texture was lightweight, balmy, and emollient with a lot of slip, so it wasn’t the longest-wearing (three hours of wear) but was comfortable to apply and to wear. It had medium pigmentation, as marketed, that went on evenly and didn’t settle into my lip lines.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.11 oz. - $345.45 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "deeply hydrating" and "melt" onto the lips with a "pop of color" and give long-term hydration. It is described as having "medium coverage" and "irreverent shine." The color coverage was typically medium, as described, though some of the deeper shades were more buildable to semi-opaque coverage.
They're a very, very creamy, emollient formula; they slip-slide as they melt against the lips during application, and it feels luxurious to apply but can be easily over-applied. It's just the type of texture that lends itself to over-application without adding more coverage, so I recommend being mindful in order to ensure you'll get plenty of usage out of each tube. Fortunately, once on, they don't feel thick or overly slippery, so it doesn't feel like the lipstick is constantly moving while worn.
They have a high-shine, almost glossy, finish that often smoothed out my lip lines without settling into them, and the latter made it more impressive due to the amount of color and slip. The wear time varied from shade to shade but typically landed between three and five hours. Some shades leave a faint stain behind--usually the mid-tone and darker hues. The formula has a sweet, mango scent but no discernible taste.

Funny that they named such a sophisticated and softly sexy AF Burgundy Bodysuit! You know that this beautifully bodacious little number went to my WL, right? 😘
I love both of these a lot although the burgundy doesn’t appear burgundy but that could just be my monitor. I am on a strict no lipstick buy so will have to pass on these but I do love them. I like pretty much all the YSL lipstick formulas and I like their packaging. I like the lipsticks with the band of color that show what the shade inside looks like. It is an ongoing complaint about MAC that they only occasionally put the band of color on their lipsticks and it helps so much when you have a huge collection.
Lovely spring shades that seem very comfortable to wear.
My experience with this formula is that it’s not really a “lipstick” at all. The 2 I have are more like Revlon Lip Butters that were discontinued. But I find the Sephora Rouge Lacquer lipsticks (I have 2 of these also) are very comparable to these much pricier ones from YSL in terms of finish, feel, wear-time, etc.. So while these two are lovely, I’ll try to find Sephora shades that are similar.
