This lip gloss was one of my first high end beauty purchases back when I started wearing makeup. It is a total splurge. It's called shimmering and golden lip gloss with a reason. In other words, this lip gloss contains shimmer (golden) and is extremely glossy. It also has a mirror-effect and some gold mother-of-pearl in it. Mine is in number 30, called Golden Satin.
You will have to pay around 25€/34$ for a small tube (6ml) of this luxury in a tube.
The most interesting fact is that it contains 0.2% of 24-carat gold. Can you imagine?!
It also has a lots of hydrating oils that will nourish your lips, like nigelle and cameline oils. They will make your lips very soft and comfortable.
The packaging is as usual YSL products, golden and amazing. It looks elegant and has that "Worth it's wight in gold" look. I also love the famous Yves Saint Laurent scent. It smells like mango! Very sweet and delicious.
Here is a swatch of product in action. It has a wet, mirror-like effect and you can definitely see golden flecks in it. It's very shimmering and quite sheer. Mine is in #30, called Golden Satin. It's described as peachy color with gold in it. It reminds me of Nars Orgasm blush a bit. Perfect for a sunkissed look.
I think it's perfect for summer, especially in sunny days. I just love the peachy tone and the whole gloss.
Here is a picture of gloss in direct sunlight. It's when the gloss looks incredible. That golden sheen!
The texture is a bit tacky, but this only takes care of longevity of this lip gloss. That way it lasts longer and stays put on your lips.
I also love that after the shiny lip gloss disappears, you're left with a coat of slight peachy color and golden shimmer. It looks very beautiful (like a shimmer stain?)
The application is quite easy. You get a standard brush applicator that is perfect for this kind of gloss.
CONCLUSION:
This lip gloss is pure luxury. It looks amazing, especially in summer time. When sun hits your lips, they look glowy and plumper and just beautiful. It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
