Rouge Volupte Lipstick: My New Love

When it comes to lippes I tend to just stick to MAC's collection, but after hearing so many great things about the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks I decided to see what all the fuss was about... and OMG.... I've really been missing out!! Not only is the packaging to die for, they're richly pigmented, soft, creamy and really moisturising - it actually felt like I was wearing a lip balm. After much deliberation I brought the aptly named Pink Fetish lipstick (No 8 i think... ) which looks like a rosy pink but actually comes out quite pale... I'd probably wear it lightly so it doesn't look too porn star (my sister says it makes me look like a bimbo... LOL). The colour is also quite similar to MAC's Pink Nouveau (left swatch) but the Rouge Volupte has a smoother, creamier consistency. 

Apologies for the shite picture quality... my digital camera battery needs charging so this was taken with my phone :-S

So, all in all a good lippie... I'd highly recommend you to invest in one of these if you suffer from dry lips (as I do!) My only bugbear is that it's so damn expensive (£21 for a lipstick? Really??!) This is bad news for me because I'm now contemplating getting a few more :- S 

Anyone got any colour recommendations for me? Sami xx
