YSL - Lingerie Pink

Back in June I was lucky to buy the well known YSL Rouge Volupte Lingerie Pink lipstick on a blog sale by the wonderful Charlotte at Lipglossing.com. This lipstick had been on my wish list for ages - after reading about it & seeing so many gorgeous images of it on my favourite blogs, I knew I had to have it! But the price tag in the shops always put me off a little. So this blog sale was perfect and I was able to score it at an awesome price - THANKS again Charlotte! Somehow it got "lost" in the mail we think, because it took just over a month to arrive in The Netherlands from the UK, crazy right? But anyways it arrived today and I am just so over the moon. 

For me the lipstick really lives up to its huge reputation! Super creamy with the most pigmented and glossy formula I have ever tried. See it swatched on my lips below! Lingerie Pink (#7) is a stunning light pink with blue undertones.

What I love about this lipstick too is that you can apply it lightly for a more neutral pink or if you apply it more heavily it becomes a very bright light toned pink. Me wearing my new awesome lippy below!

I am indeed officially in love ♥ May need to get some more of the Rouge Volupte lipsticks now (sorry bank account!) ;)
