Yves Saint Laurent - Golden gloss shimmering lip gloss.

It's national lipstick day today, so it would be wrong of me not to review a lipstick today wouldn't it? Well technically I'm going to review a lip gloss but it's close enough! This is one of my favourite luxury lip-glosses that I own from YSL, and it's called golden gloss in shade 10.

First of all as you would expect from a high end product the packaging is beautiful. It comes in a nice sleek see through plastic case with a gold lid with the brands initials on. I love the fact that it is see through so you can see the exact colour of the gloss and it allows you to know how much you have left, which is always an added bonus in my opinion.

Application of this lip gloss is really easy as it comes with a paint brush type applicator, and it slides on nice and evenly. It also has a slight fruity smell when you are applying. Once applied this lip gloss is slightly sticky to help keep the glitter in place, but not too sticky that it is bothersome though it does mean there is product transfer when eating and drinking.

I think overall there are 20 different shades in the Golden gloss collection but I purchased shade 10 which is a nice nude pink colour that practically matches the colour of my lips.

This lip gloss is super glittery when applied (which unfortunately I couldn't capture in the pictures) and gives a good shine boost to your lips. This is because there are actual extracts of gold (0.2% I think?)  and mother of pearl contained in each lip gloss, so this is real luxury for your lips! 

Unfortunatly the wear time for this lip gloss isn't great and I need to reapply every 2 hours when I'm wearing it, which is a shame considering the price. Though I tend to wear it over a darker pink lipstick like Soap and Glorys Pom Pom which I reviewed yesterday (http://ramblingmakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/soap-and-glory-matte-lipstick-in-pom-pom.html) so it doesn't matter too much if the gloss disappears as I still have a nice base.

 This lip gloss costs £22 and unfortunately I can't find it in stock anywhere online, but you can buy shade 15 which is a nice darker pink from here:

What do you think of YSL golden gloss?

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet - Personne ne rouge! (01)

I am a sucker for both red and matte lipsticks so when I saw this in the shop I had to buy it immediately.

I had heard good reviews about this product and I was not disappointed. 

I purchased shade number 1 - Personne ne rouge which I think is a classic red colour that would suit most people. 

I really like the packaging of this product, I think it looks very sleek and professional. Also I like how it is see through so you can tell how much product you have left, which is a bonus for me for any beauty product.

When first applied it has a creamy texture but quickly drys to a matte finish. I think that once applied it took about 10 minutes to completely dry for me, but  I would leave it for about 20 just to make sure.

Once dried this product is amazing and lasts me all day and I don't even have any of those annoying lipstick stains on my drinking glasses. Though if I was going out at night I may apply another layer just to revive the colour.

What I really like about this is that it lightweight compared to similar matte lipsticks which can feel quite heavy and sticky. Also it doesn't dry my lips out as much as other matte lipsticks can.

The price of this lipstick is £8.99 and comes in a wide range of red and pink colours.

You can buy it from most beauty high street shops or order online from here: http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Rouge-Edition-velvet_1459266//?cm_mmc=bourjois-_-beauty-_-bourjois_website-_-bourjois_rouge_edition_velvet_lipstick
