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).
