YSL Corail Urbane (51) Pur Couture Lipstick
YSL Corail Urbane (51) Pur Couture Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.13 oz.) is described as a “medium peach orange.” It’s a light-medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and fine white pearl. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, though there was still some translucency where the natural lip color came through slightly. The color wore well for four hours and was lightly hydrating over time, but I had some of the color pull into lip lines after two and a half hours of wear.

Wow I did not think these would be this beautiful. I would wear the heck out of either one of these!
Oh, that’s awesome!
Pretty. These seem like Spring shades to me. I don’t have much in the way of YSL for some reason. At this price point, I would want an A really though. These need a lip liner for me to be happy.
I had higher hopes for the formula! Maybe I just picked bad shades, lol.
The formula should be consistent. Don’t blame yourself for their shortcomings. They are pretty. A sheer lipstick has it’s place,right? But, it’s not supposed to be sheer is it? I still like them. But I’d place a liner to hold them longer.
Correct! They advertise rich color 🙁
These are so beautiful. I really love Mauve Nihiliste. It’s interesting how many lighter, softer shades have been coming out this fall.
It is a pretty hue!
That Mauve Nihiliste has me interested in trying it on today when I go to try on Guerlain Air Kiss lippy @ Nordstrom’s. That’s IF I ever get out of the house today! Been feeling lousy for an entire week because my Crohn’s has been flaring up pretty badly, so I’ve been relegated to staying close to the*facilities*. Not fun!
I hope you feel better soon, Nancy! 🙁
Thank you so much, Christine! Somehow, I am going to try to pull myself together and get over to the Nordies up the street from here sometime today. Bad case of cabin fever! I hate staying home. ?
Awe Nancy so sorry to hear your feeling badly. One of my “girls” 6 of us BFF’s since kindergarten, spread out and different lives but we stay connected anyway has Crohn’s as well. I truly understand how horrid a flare up is and the lack of being able to run a simple errand bcuz of the facility situation. My friend calls them her S.A.E’s you can probably figure out the initials. If not and you need a good laugh just shoot me a note. vivlasbonbon@hotmail.com my thoughts are with you and I hope you bounce back quickly!!!
Thank you, Bonnie! I have a possible clue…,but not completely sure?
I have Crohns too, can empathise with you! I’m feeling very tired, I need an iron infusion but the appointment is a month away ? x
I hear you! This disease definitely saps all the energy out of those of us who have it. I take a multi vite with iron in it and also sub-lingual B12, and a host of other supplements. Probably due to malnutrition because our gut doesn’t absorb nutrients. All we can do is hope that our various treatments work!
One of my friend’s daughter has this disease and it is pretty terrible. She has suffered a lot with it as you are now. I really hope the flare up will end soon. When it is over, you deserve a really nice treat! (Like a new lipstick or two….)
Thank you, Genevieve! It’s a devil of an illness, really! I feel badly for your friend’s daughter, because it seems to hit the younger ones harder, at least in the beginning of the illness. Yes, if nothing else, Guerlain Air Kiss lipstick! I tried it on today, and it looked like the most perfect MLBB shade I ever wore!
Oh no! I don’t have Crohns, but I have a really sensitive stomach/digestive system (got it from my dad), and when it gets upset, it’s not good….. Hope you feel better soon!
I own Mauve Nihiliste (and have for about 2 years now) and I love it! It looks more purple on me but it’s great. It lasts quite a long time and doesn’t settle into my lip lines which I loooove.
Happy to hear you love it, Sabrina! Do you have any other of the Pur Couture shades?
I’ve had Corail Urbain for years now and I love it but Mauve Nihiliste looks lovely too. Not sure I’d get quite as much use out of it but I may get it since I love the YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks. 🙂
What are your favorite Rouge Pur Couture shades, Gillian?
I love 19 Fuchsia Pink and 52 Rosy Coral. Those are my favourites among the few I own. Fuchsia Pink is a beautiful bright magenta/fuchsia shade and Rosy Coral is much more of a true coral than Corail Urbain is, it’s deeper and has more red/orange tones. I get more use out of Rosy Coral than I do the rest of my Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks. Coral is my favourite colour when it comes to lipstick. 😀
Thank you! xo
Beautiful! Love the second shade. Also, just a little heads up, in the description both shades are listed as “YSL Corail Urbane (51) Pur Couture Lipstick”
Fixed, thank you!
I came for the mauve nihiliste bcuz uh I’m me but the corail caught me by complete surprise. Absolutely LOVE it and I’m not a coral person at all. I’m having to make strategic purchases so maybe I’ll go dupe hunting. The more sales the harder the decisions 🙂 I didn’t know Beauty.com carried Kevyn Aucoin’s volume mascara. Its my all time hg and not always easy to find. I’m trying to decide if I should use the 20% to buy backups even though it’s not as exciting as gorgeous new lipsticks. Decisions decsisions….,…..
Sometimes basics are good, since you know you’ll use ’em!
I think that’s solid advice! I listened and went for the mascara and backups. The best part was I didn’t know you could checkout on beauty with PayPal. I ended up using some ebates money that was just sitting there. it feels free since my actual bank or credit cards weren’t touched. It’s now basically the best day ever ?. I really love that mascara!!! LOL I’m such a dork.
I bet these will be very popular! I think I’ll try the UD dupe in Streak because it’s a bit cooler and will flatter me more.
I’ve heard a lot of raves for the formula!
Try it first. Got a FS Streak in the Sephora More Lip box, and it looks absolutely ghastly on me. There is zero cool in mine. UD s.t. goofs the quality control, kind of like having 5 Orgasm blushes in 3 slightly different shades. Streak and Peony were my least faves. Swamp thing, even if I try to look at it objectively. (I don’t do coral tops, either.) You are cooler than I am, but maybe you’d like the contrast. I’m probably NW 25… P20 or 30 in Color Drops. The formula is great, just wish it could have been Rapture, which is sold out everywhere.
These are very pretty spring kind of colours – and I am fonder of the coral colour the most.
The coral is a nice shade!
That Mauve shade was in my wish list for longest time ….
I should pick it asap …
you look gorgeous dear
Thank you, Rashmi!
I own no 58 and wear quite a lot. Gives a real pop of colour to a soft lilac eye.
Awesome!
