YSL Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain in NU INTERDIT and GRENAT NO RULES - Review and Swatches

This revolutionary matte liquid lip stain from YSL promises tattoo like color that feel light on lips, high color impact and 8 hours of wear time. I was so delighted to get my hands on these because I was craving a non drying matte lipstick. My lips are just as dry (or more) as my skin and I would get anything that makes them look better. My usual picks are cream/satin finish formulas but I love the look of matte lips. There is something alluring about a matte lip - its powerful, mature and exudes a feeling of self satisfaction. Like 'I am not asking for attention with my shiny lips' kind of look. And I have been looking for shades that work for my skin tone and feel great on lips but most of the shades I liked were always out of stock. Even when I was at Sephora, swatching all of these shades in the Tatouage line, I loved the shade called No. 16 - Nude Emblem and it was out of stock of a full month. I had to give up and get something I felt I could use over the holiday season. The best thing about these lip stains is that they are so hydrating and feel so comfortable on lips. They might not be not completely matte and I have to layer for extra pigment because its a lip stain after all not a liquid lipstick. Will be talking more on this with tons of swatches to show.

YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stain in 412 Rose Mix - Review and Swatches

My favorite kind of summer lips are bright and hydrated. I am always looking for products that moisturize my lips and keep them hydrated for as long as possible. No one wants chapped lips on a hot summer day, right? So, I was basically looking for a glossy stain when I found this guy. I was thinking about trying the new Dior lips stain or the NARS Powermatte but I couldn't find it anywhere and Eid was coming up so I needed a long lasting lip stain. The entire day, on Eid, is spent talking and eating and there is no time for touch ups and YSL Vinyl Cream  Lip Stain did not disappoint. I am so happy that this product stayed on my lips the whole day. It did loose some of its 'vinyl shine' and some pigment but overall it looked great.

Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Tint-In-Oil in Cherry My Cherie Review and Swatch

This is my favorite lip product these days. I loved it during the summer months for a natural looking tint on my lips and I love it even more for the winter months. You can already guess that its a tinted lip oil and what could be so special about it? Its formulated with four essential oils for deep hydration: apricot kernel oil, coriander fruit oil, jojoba seed oil, and possiflora edulis seed oil. It makes my lips feel so smooth and look so moisturized. I love the look of youthful and nourished lips and this products helps me achieve that and a little rosy tint too.
The shade I am reviewing is actually my favorite shade form this line. There are 10 shades available in this line but no. 5 Cherry My Cherie is my favorite because its the most pigmented one and is great for anyone with pigmented lips. There is a very fine shimmer in almost all that I saw, but it a very subtle shimmer, just enough for a glossy appearance.
So let's get started with pics followed by a swatch and my review.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint and Balm - Review and Swatches

I have this lip stain for the longest of time and while clearing my stash today, I decided to add my two cents on this. I use all sorts of lip products: lipsticks, lip gloss, lip stains, lip pencils...uhh lip balm :P but this was particularly unique when I saw this the first time, around four months ago. The shade I have is 310 Long Live Lilac. It has a lip stain on one end and a lip balm on the other.
