Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Tint-In-Oil

I know I said my next post was going to be about Milani Blushes and why these were a drug store blush you have to check out...but shit happens and I am still waiting for more of them in the mail in order to do a more comprehensive review. I "needed" to test a few more says Shannon trying to justify why she bought 3 more blushes. In the meantime, I haven't had time for blogging as I took my 2 year old niece into my home for a few days and it was flipping exhausting.

"Come on Shanny, lets go!"

I salute you baby making bitches, that is hard work. I was in bed by 10pm Friday and Saturday, which isn't much different than regular life I suppose, except I was worn, haggard, and beaten....by a 2 year old who surprising loves youtube shopping videos, just like her aunty....did you know 200,000,000 viewers have watched a lady make Playdoh dresses for some plastic princesses https://youtu.be/I8vzbIuvhoo. Incredible. Clearly, I should have done a more thorough job exploring career options before I jumped into university.

This weekend, while my beautiful niece riffled through my purse at The Liquor Mart, (yes I know..I took a a baby to the liquor mart).. she chucked this luxurious lip oil down the aisle like it didn't mean a thing to her... Little did she know that this is my current second favourite lip product purchase.

YSL Volupte Tint-In-Oil #4

The YSL Volupte Tint-in-Oil is available at sephora.com for $35.00 cnd plus applicable taxes. I took advantage of the Sephora VIB sale in order to purchase this luxury oil with a 15% discount. After mulling over the available 8 color choices, selection in store was limited due to the sale, I chose #4, I Rose You, which is another barely there, more moisture than colour product, on my lips anyway.

In the glimmer of the sunlight on my swatch, I see a hint of the smallest rose coloured sparkle, which shows more of a shine on the lips than sparkle..FYI..I hate sparkle.Before I speak further about the contents of this tube, one must not miss an opportunity to touch on the gorgeousness that is YSL packaging. The magnificent gold box, opened to reveal a shiny silver cylinder with the prettiest "rose gold" coloured YSL logo. I could barely contain myself on closing this when I felt that snap, like you have locked in that oil and it will not leak in your purse, kinda snap.

Smell: like light melon Feel: So comfortable on the lips, not oily as the name would suggest, not sticky, just comfortable to wear. Usually, products for the lip that offer high gloss are also quite sticky or vaseline like. This is neither. I found this oil to be quite moisturizing and I only reapply after a meal in an 8 hour work day. I have been wearing this oil mainly during the work week as it is a little too fancy for my weekend look. I would recommend this product if you like a gloss without the issues that come with glosses.
