First review

The very first product I'll be reviewing is a YSL lipstick. To be more specific, it's the Rouge Volupté N°15 Corail Extrême. I purchased it in a hurry on my recent trip, so I may have chosen a wrong colour for myself. 

What I really liked about this lipstick is its scent. It's absolutely amazing - the fruity "flavour" is perfect for summer. The packaging also caught my eye, it's very elegant. But in my opinion, this product is not something you apply when in hurry. It has a bit of a weird texture and it is really important that you exfoliate your lips before using it. 

Another thing that bothered me is how it looks on my lips. I was aming for a completely different colour than my lips, but ended up disappointed. Just to be clear, I don't use a lip pencil or anything similar, so I can't really say anything about how long it will stay on your lips either, though they promise 4 hours of perfect lips, without pencils or any other products that help with keeping the lipstick on for as long as possible.

To me, this product is more like a lip gloss, rather than a lipstick, and I think you can pull it off for any occasion, as well as for every day use.
Despite disliking many things about it, I'm not giving up YSL lipsticks. I'm looking forward to trying more colours and types, hopefully on my next trip in 2 weeks.
