YSL Rose Tropical, Rouge Neon, Prune Avenue Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Rose Tropical (49)
YSL Rose Tropical (49) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a bright, cotton candy pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a cream finish. The consistency was lightweight, moderately creamy, and felt a little more slippery compared to most shades, which showed in the application as it was a little streaky and not as even.
It had mostly opaque pigmentation that lasted well for four and a half hours, while the formula felt moisturizing.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.13 oz. - $292.31 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "rich color with intense hydration ... in just one stroke." The lipstick has moderate slip--some shades are fairly emollient and can feel slippery during wear, while many are creamy but adhere well enough.
I've found that more mid-tone and deeper shades have better applications with smoother, more forgiving color that was semi-opaque or higher in coverage. Some of the lighter and the very deepest shades were more prone to settling into lip lines or yielding more medium to semi-opaque coverage.
The wear ranged from four to six hours on average. I found the formula was usually on the hydrating side. There was a sweet, floral scent with a very subtle taste, though I felt like it sometimes gave me a taste and other times, I didn't notice anything.

Rouge Neon (50)
YSL Rouge Neon (50) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium orange with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. The lipstick had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly to my lips and never dragged during application.
The consistency felt lightweight, thin but not clingy, and had moderate slip, which helped it apply comfortably and have some shine, but it didn’t feel too slippery during wear. It wore well for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Rouge Neon for summer? Yes please and thank you Ma’am! This screams SUMMER. š§”
And I’m also smitten by Prune Avenue for the perfect winter pout!
Rose Tropical is blindingly bright. I’m in love. Aaaah <3
So Prune Avenue is the TF Hot Flash dupe (without the shimmer) I’ve been searching for!
Also, I love Rose Tropical, though I’d never wear it as it way too cool for me.
Iād be all over Rose Tropical if it we were still in 2014
I love YSL lip sticks! Rose Tropical is a color that I’m attracted to but doesn’t really look that great on my warm complexion I have it without the SPF. Rouge Neon is my color not sure about the spf, hopefully my lips will get some sun since we’re stilling wearing masks when outside.
I love the Rouge Neon shade and although the Prune Avenue shade is one that I couldn’t pull off, I think it is quite unique and very pretty.
