YSL Golden Garnet Golden Gloss & Touche Brilliance Petal Rose Review & Swatches7
Apparently, this post never got posted… and I meant to have it post in February! Oh well, better late than never…
Two more items from my Sephora.com
Friends & Family haul — you can tell it takes me awhile to get through what I buy, LOL. A lot of times when I buy product exclusively for myself, I forget to blog about it, too! Pictured above is YSL Golden Gloss #9 in Golden Garnet ($28.00), and it is sooo pretty! I was really excited when I received it, because it has loads of shimmer and everything that makes a Golden Gloss a Golden Gloss–but it added a lot of color to my lips. (I apologize for not having lip swatches.) It’s this raspberry pink color with golden and pink shimmer. This may be my favorite Golden Gloss ever.
The other lipgloss I purchased was YSL Touche Brilliance in #7 Petal Rose ($29.00), and while it’s pretty, it didn’t do very much for me at the end of the day. It’s fairly sheer, and the shimmer is subtler than Golden Gloss but still noticeable. I found that it had a lot of glossy sheen to it, though, which is a plus. I think what made it less exciting is that I tried it right after Golden Garnet, which just takes the cake for me. This color doesn’t do much for me on my lips, beyond a MLBB kind of effect plus shimmer. I’m also not sold on the lip brush kind of packaging — I think I prefer wands and the like, just because I feel like the brush gets easily gunked up and needs to be cleaned from time to time. I haven’t given up on the Touche Brilliance formula yet, but I definitely gotta look for shades with more pigmentation!
See swatches!
The Golden Gloss is stunning, it reminds me a bit of one of my favourite Prescriptives glosses, Meteor and a Glossimer whose name escapes me. That’s going on my lemming list.
Equinoxe? Sheer deep red with gold and blue glitter?
It’s one of my faves!
Thanks Christine, now I have to check out YSL’s lip glosses now – I was wearing the Pink Harmony Lip Twins lipstick yesterday and it lasted so well and had a lovely scent. Yum!
No problem! YSL makes really good gloss. I absolutely love their Golden Glosses!
They’re definitely up there in the Glossimer kind of feel.
Cool, good to know!
I was pretty impressed by the new Dior Ultra Gloss Reflects I got recently, which has a similar texture to the Glossimer, maybe a tad slicker but not at all sticky. Which is good because I picked up samples of the Reflects glosses when they first came out and wasn’t fussed so maybe they’ve changed the formula.
🙂
I’d say they might be slicker or a little thicker, but yeah, not sticky for me! Glad you like ’em now!
i’ve only had one touche brilliance gloss, but i swear that it was my favorite gloss that i’ve ever owned. the texture on those is amazing!
They are! I just wish they weren’t so pricey!
I love YSL’s golden glosses, they are so pigmented and lovely!
Me too! I want more!
The golden gloss featured looked pretty similar in texture with mac love alert, doesn’t it? I’m trying to kill my inner lipstick monster.
Golden Gloss seems like the glitter isn’t as chunky/gritty (I find Dazzleglasses to run gritty sometimes). I don’t know if that helps at all, lol!
Any chance of seeing these on your lips? 😀 I’m terribly drawn to the Petal Rose!
I’ll certainly try 🙂
Wow, those are both stunning!
YSL knows how to make a great lip product, lol!
I have this Golden Gloss (along with a few others) and it is gorgeous. 🙂 I love glittery dark pink glosses.
What other Golden Glosses do you have? I love them!
I have all 16… 🙂 Oh, plus the #27 one that was pink for breast cancer. Obsessive collector?…yes!
I am so jealous!
Golden Garnet is beautiful! I definitely need to check this out when I go to Sephora.
I hope you do, Jenn!
Very nice! I think I only have one YSL gloss and that’s the black Pur Gloss. But these look lovely!
The GGs are amazing!! You have to try ’em!
Gorgeous! I love super sparkly glosses like this. Reminds me of the Chanel planet ones.
Never got to try the Chanel ones, but if they were like these… I bet I’d have loved ’em!
Very pretty!
I need to explore other glosses outside of MAC. I tend to stick to those.
MAC glosses are great, and they’re at a nice price point. YSL is GORGEOUS, but still pricey unfortunately!
These look very tempting
I love, love YSL glosses! They are definitely tempting!
