A recent launch from Yves Saint Laurent beauty is their new Tatouage Couture Liquid Lipsticks. I've been putting these super luxury liquid lipsticks - with a high price tag to match - to the test recently, keep reading to see what I thought!
I picked up three shades, a true red, and two nude colours.
Top to Bottom:
#07 Nude Interdit, #09 Grenat No Rules, #16 Nude Emblem
I've been wearing either #07 or #16 every single day I've worn make up!
I adore these liquid lipsticks. They're an airy light lip stain, as opposed to the traditional thick, whipped long wearing liquid formula. I'm head over heels in love for this formula. It feels luxurious. It's incredibly light weight, soft and comfortable. It has quite a thin, liquid-y consistency at first, with an opacity that's not quite fully opaque but it's not quite what I'd consider sheer, either. Sorry, I know that's a bad description. But when it dries down - which is after about a minute - it's fully matte and fully opaque.
I remember when I bought these, the sales associate at the YSL counter responded to my comment on the high price with, "but they're worth it because they literally last all day". At the time, I thought "Sales jargon. Doubt it". But, as it transpires, it's true. The colour lasts all day - but not necessarily the opaque colour you begin with. That's kind of the beauty of it being a stain though, isn't it? It starts as the opaque colour, and then as it wears, it fades and transforms into the various shades of the original colour. E.G #7 starts as opaque neutral nude, and fades to a faint nude, then more like a mauve-y tint on my naturally quite deep pink lips. The tint and the matte texture is what remains on your lips, even if it's not the original colour you began with.
The only downside is the price! I'm so on the fence as to whether they're worth it or not. On the one hand, they're not, all of these colours you can find on the highstreet/in the drugstore. I personally haven't looked but I'm sure you could find a similar formula too (let me know if you'd be interested in a post if I do find a dupe!). But that being said, I did fork out my cash to buy three of these and I don't regret it, I'm thrilled with every aspect of the product, from formula to packaging. Would I buy any more of them? It's not completely out of the question (plus I am eyeing up shade #23), they are a really nice luxury beauty product that I thoroughly enjoy using. Have you tried these yet?

The shades you chose are beautiful!! And the packaging, as always with YSL is gorgeous! 29£ is a lot for a lipstick, maybe one day I'll be able to afford them! haha
ReplyDeleteLoved your photos too! xx

I favour liquid lip products that wear like this, as inevitably they are going to come off when you live your life and the ones which flake just look awful. So a stain sounds like a much better idea! I love my other YSL lip products but have yet to try a liquid lipstick from them. Something I need to rectify it seems.

ReplyDeleteI love YSL lipsticks, great colors and quality!
ReplyDeleteThose shades are so beautiful! I’ve never tried YSL makeup but really want to!
ReplyDeleteI think they are probably too expensive but then you are paying for it being YSL, for looking chic when you take it out of your handbag, for using it to the last drop as it was so expensive and for having something beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love these great colours
ReplyDeleteThe shades are so nice, I need more money 😂
ReplyDeleteQuality i always trust - love YSL

I've always loved YSL #07 Nude Interdit looks good, texture looks nice
ReplyDeleteI love YSL products. So glamorous and beautiful packaged
ReplyDeleteI love shade 16 the most :)
ReplyDeleteIf I could afford these I would definitely buy them. I would love to hear if you find a brand with similar products with a more affordable price.
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're really nice, although I probably would only buy one at a time as they're a little pricey!

They sound lovely, I do occasionally like to treat myself to something more expensive than I would usually buy and this sounds like just the sort of thing I'd like. Shade #09 looks perfect, and the packaging is beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove the colours, they are so up to date with fashion
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I love the shades you picked, I'm currently looking for some high end products to try out :)

ReplyDeleteYour photography is outstanding and I love your blog. So much make-up heaven!! These shades are gorgeous and look really good quality, surely they must be though considering the price.
ReplyDeletel love YSL lipsticks, even though they are pricey you carn't beat the quality and their colours are so rich. The reds are my favourite!.
ReplyDeleteI love the shade #07 Nude Interdit and yes £29 is a lot for a lipstick but you are paying for quality
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore YSL, the quality of the cosmetics is amazing and whilst they do have a hefty price tag, I find they need applying far less than cheaper brands, and so last longer!
ReplyDeleteloving the red shade best x
ReplyDeleteLoving this brand and love these colours too!
ReplyDeleteI love YSL lip products but when I swatched these I didn’t love applicator so I skipped on them. You bought really pretty shades
ReplyDeleteThese look truly amazing. Vibrant colours
ReplyDeletethese look great, lovely colours, so vibrant
ReplyDeleteLove these shades and love your honest review I too think people just give it with the sales jargon so it nice to hear it from somebody who isn’t being made to say it!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours I am to scared to wear bright lip colours nowadays.... I used to when I was younger
ReplyDeleteThese are just stunning shades! I bet they last ages too!
ReplyDeleteLove the YSL range, especially the lip stains. They are expensive but last a while so definitley worth it for me.
