Today I'm going to discuss the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levris Glossy Stain. Phew, that's a long name! I call it my YSL Glossy Stain. :)
This is a stain but unlike most stains it is not the least bit drying. According to Sephora, this product "combines the texture and shine of a gloss with the long wear of a stain".
I constantly lick and bite my lips so lip products don't last very long on me. This stain is the longest wearing lip product that I have ever owned. I have this in the color 7 Corail Aquatique which is coral-ish which I think is nice for my coloring. You can see below that unlike most stains, it is so shiny, it almost looks like a gloss!

If you were thinking about adding this to your makeup arsenal I'd say go try it out at Sephora or a YSL counter. What I do to test my lippie purchases is try it out, then leave and finish my mall activities and see how the lip product has held up and then make my decision. This product is expensive at $34 but it's worth it in my opinion because it lasts so long on me.
I haven't read too many other blog reviews on this so let me know if you have it and what you think or if you are planning to get it! Have a great day and weekend everyone!
That's a great tip when not sure of purchasing a lip product I like to test it for a bit as well, well, when they are pricier products anyway.

Yes, I always do that if I want to purchase something expensive and especially if it claims to be long-wearing! Thanks for visiting!
Deletethanks for the tips! I splurge on way to many lipsticks and I should really put more thought into my purchases!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lipcolor by the way!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOoh, that is glossy! That's a really clever tip... I also have a tendency to rub/bite my lips so most lip products don't last as long as they should on me either. :/
ReplyDeleteThanks and thanks for visiting!
DeleteI'm constantly licking and biting my lips too, I hate that habit!! Lip colors rarely last on me because of that, ugh!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely shade, and I'm glad to hear it works well on you!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI hear the greatest things about the YSL glossy stain. I really need to try these! It is soo pretty!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteDef. try to get your hands on one, I love mine!
DeleteI've been wanting to get my greedy little hands on a YSL lippie! This lip stain looks and sounds fab! I hope you had a great time at the holiday party last night! And yay for winter break!! Enjoy your time off and Happy Holidays beautiful! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at my party last night, thanks girly! And Happy Holiday to you and your fam as well!
DeleteI've wanted one of these for so long but the price tag scares me! I picked up one of the L'Oreal Lip Stains from Ulta because I heard they were fairly similar. I haven't tried the YSL one before, but so far I'm loving the L'Oreal one! I'd definitely recommend trying them out because it's a third of the YSL price.
ReplyDeleteOOOH, I'll def. put that one on my shopping list thanks for the heads up!
Deletegreat review! I really want to try this!

Thanks and thanks for visiting! I'm already following your blog! :)
Deletewe love any type of lip stain, and they're particularly perfect for this time of year when you're drinking, eating and dancing the night away!! We love Rimmel's Apocalips and Loreal's Carisse stains if anyone's looking for cheaper alternatives! This shade look amazing on you by the way! Great review:)

Thanks and thanks for the recommendations, I'll put them on my shopping list! I like your blog btw and am now following on bloglovin!
DeleteI love the YSL Glossy Stains! I have this colour too - I have been trying to choose another one but can't find a colour I love more than this. They wear so well - even glossy after eating!! Have you tried the L'Oreal dupes (the glamshine stains at least that's what they are called in the UK) yet? I see people have already recommended them. They are good, but not as opaque as this one - worth a go though!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the L'Oreal dupes but haven't tried them yet. I'll def. give them a try though. I do love these YSL ones though!
