i have to admit i can be a total makeup snob sometimes. however, something has to be said for beautiful packaging, alluring colors, and pigmentation for days. so when i do come across products that are not only amazing at their intended purpose but also gorgeous, i can't help but want to share. so here is a little lip treat from ysl. it is essentially one of the most expensive tinted lip balms you will own BUT it's also the best.
this is the one that i've had for some time now
the packaging is fantastic
and as a woman, it gives me a little thrill every time i swipe it on
another thing
you won't need a mirror
the casing is reflective enough to do the trick
the Yves Saint Laurent 'Rouge Volupte Sheer Candy' (via nordstrom)
is priced out at $30.
let me tell you why i think it's worth a splurge.
1. the packaging. come on, you know it's what your paying extra for. i get compliments every time someone sees it too.
2. the color payoff on the more pigmented colors, albeit a bit sheer, is FANTASTIC. i have the one above (#4 succulent pomegranate) and i have to say that it's the only lip product i have that lasts a long time but also after the initial glossy portion wears off, it fades to a beautiful stain that stay on the lips for hours. i love that. it's swipe and forget.
3. there is ample product in the tube. it will last you for some time. i think i've had mine for almost a year now and it is actually a decent moisturizer. no joke. lips feel better after this.
whether or not you decide to plunk the cash down for this one, i'd at least give it a try.
i didn't get it until i tried it. and i love it.
xoxo,
Bella
