A LIPSTICK A DAY

The other YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain I picked up is Corail Fauve #12.  Most of my views (re: packaging, smell, texture etc) will be the same as my review for Corail Aquatique, so I will keep this brief and more of a photo review.

When YSL's Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres (I'll call it Glossy Stain for the rest of this post) first launched, I wasn't all that interested.  Firstly because it is a gloss, and secondly to be honest, because the packaging is ugly.

Since the Chanel Paris-Bombay Métiers d'Art show back in December last year, I had wanted to get my hands on Diwali and the Nirvana Illusion d'ombre.  Sadly Nirvana never made it into production, so I only picked up Diwali from the Bombay Express collection.  And just as I had suspected, the Route des Indes de Chanel is disappointingly far too gold and sparkly for me.

1. Burberry Lip Cover in Primrose Hill Pink- second favourite lipstick for June
2. Burberry Lip Cover in Golden Peach - favourite lipstick for June
3. Chanel Glossimer in Calypso -not a gloss girl but I love this colour
4. Boots No. 7 Gold Glitter Top Coat - I use this over my nail polish when it's looking a bit tired but I haven't got time to redo my nails.
5. Guerlain Pucci Terra Azzurra -I've been wearing this as bronzer/blush for most of June, mainly because it look good + it's convenient since it's all in one compact.  I still hate the smell though.
6. Chanel Island - my favourite from the Chanel summer polishes
7. Dior Bikini - best of the summer corals
8. Chanel Diwali - review will be posted next week
9. YSL Glossy Stain in Corail Aquatique - to be reviewed, my views on these are mixed but I like them enough to be included in this month's favourite
10. YSL Glossy Stain in Corail Fauve - as above
11. Chanel Sable-Émouvant -haven't been wearing much eyeshadow but when I have, it's been this because it goes with any lipstick/blush.

I have to admit, I wanted to get Primrose Hill Pink just because of the name (for those not familiar, Primrose Hill is an area in London). But luckily Primrose Hill Pink also happens to be a gorgeous pink.
