'GLOSS? STAIN? LIPSTICK? WHY COMPROMISE? HAVE IT ALL' declares the blurb for the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stains, and I was certainly intrigued. Bone idle as I am (just ask my mother!), I hate to reapply lip products during the day and so the prospect of a longlasting, comfortable to wear product was very appealing.
Plus, I defy you not to be charmed by this lovely little animated short, depicting the creation of the range:
I was given shade number 13, Rose Tempera, a pretty, bright fuchsia. It's well packaged: I love the dinky little black bottle with the luxe gold lid, doe foot applicator and a little window to reveal the colour inside.

| Look at that staining power in action: when I tried to wipe off the swatch, it wasn't going anywhere! |
The product is buildable but you need two coats for a full-on burst of colour. It feels sticky on first application but dries quickly to a slightly tacky consistency. Wear time is impressive: it lasts around 6 hours on me, through eating and drinking, which is pretty much unprecedented! The colour and finish changes throughout the day as it fades from a bright glossy finish to a deeper matte stain - both effects are lovely. It feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips and has the trademark YSL scent and taste, which I personally love.
There are 20 shades in all, and they're on counter now priced at €33. Have you splurged - or would you?

I really want to get my little paws on one of these! I've a Debenhams voucher that I've been wanting to spend and now know what it'll be spent on ;)
oh my days, these are beautiful! Love this colour, and I'm really tempted by the reds, and the violet! I can't decide between one of these, or one of the amazing new Lancome lippys! xx
I've worn their glosses before - they're superb. Love the staying power of this one!
Have a great Monday xoxo

I really love these, you're right about the way it feels a little tacky at first but then settles - they're comfortable to wear and a great alternative to regular gloss :)
BEAUTIFIUL!
Sounds like an ideal combination Emma and I'm impressed with how long it lasts too :)

Being a lip product junkie I love the idea of these, I'm dying to get my hands on the golden fuchsia colour, I love how they change colour and stay on the lips. On my list for next payday! Thanks for letting us know what you think Emma!

That's a really pretty shade! I've always tried cheaper lip stains in the past and never had much luck with the results.
That looks and sounds wonderful, it's on my list right now!

I might have to try this! I have YSL now and love it and I can't imagine them making something that's not great quality.
Nice review!
