Once a nude lip lover, always a nude lip lover

YSL Rouge Pur Couture #6Rose Bergamasque


So, I made a promise to myself a bit ago, that I would not purchase any more nude lipsticks-ever again.  With a supply of nude lippies to last me more than a lifetime, I was sure this promise would be quite easy to keep.  "My stash is saturated with a plethora of nudes", I quipped to myself as I perused the YSL counter recently.  "Walk away," I silently shouted in my mind over and over.  Alas, the temptation was too great and I caved.  I purchased the new YSL Rouge Pur Couture in #6 (Rose Bergamasque).  The price point is $30.

I must say that I am rather pleased with my purchase.  The formula is divine.  The lipstick glides on with a satiny smoothness.  Of course, the faint rose YSL smell is ever-present. The pigmentation is lovely, and dare I say, more wearable than any of the nudes I have been using in my current rotation.  This lipstick has more of a rose undertone to it which gives it a depth to the color that does not wash you out.

While I still adore my YSL Rouge Volupte in #2, I believe this one is more appropriate for fall.  Here's a side by side comparison of the two.  As you can see, the Couture #6 definitely has more of a rosy pink pigmentation to it. 

Now, I really promise, no more nudes (until the next time of course).

    Do you like the formula more than the Rouge Volupte? For some reason, I've got an issue with the rouge volupte lipsticks...I think I may be crazy, but every single time I use it, my teeth ache!! hahaha but I can't stop myself..the packaging is too luxurious!

    Hi Elise!

    That is so weird about your teeth- awwwwww.
    First, I prefer the packaging on the rouge volupte- it is waaaay more luxurious in my opinion than the Couture. Having said that, I do believe I prefer the formulation better on the Couture- literally glides on like a dream and I believe has better staying power too.
