Vixen Lips: YSL Spellbinding Violet

Remember in this post, here when I said I was going to get this lipstick?:

 

YSL  Rouge Volupte Perle Spellbinding Violet

Well I got it and this is the look I've come up with! (PS- This lipstick is a biatch to apply- it turns out very blotchy)

This colour is just incredible and I love it to death HOWEVER it is really really hard to apply. Even with a brush I just couldn't get the colour even. Such a shame for an expensive lipstick as well.

To make it even more Vixen-like (and silly), I've added a beauty spot!

Like I said, I love the colour, but not the formula :( So if you're looking for a gorgeous berry colour such as this, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Buy it From: Myer, David Jones, Strawberrynet

RRP: $48

Do you guys have any recs for me? I hear the Tom Ford one is incredible!!

Luxe vs Less- Fuchsia Pink Lipstick

I've recently dug up two fuchsia pink lipsticks in my makeup bag and thought I'd compare each one with the other:D

The first one is YSL Rouge Personnel Multi-Finish Lipstick in No 28, and the second is Designer Brands Moisturising Lipstick in "Vivid Mauve".

YSL No 28

Crappy product shot: Left: Designer Brands (DB) Vivid Mauve, YSL No 28

Left: DB Vivid Mauve, Right: YSL No 28

YSL Rouge Personnel Multi-Finish Lipstick in No 28

RRP: $40.00

Buy it From: David Jones, Myer

• Blue based, bright fuchsia pink
• VERY pigmented
• Creamy formula
• Matte texture and finish
• Easy to apply, doesn't drag on the lips
• Moisturising
• Extremely long wearing



DB Vivid Mauve

RRP: $6.99

Buy it From: Priceline, Selected Pharmacies

• Blue based, light fuchsia pink
• Matte finish
• Moderately pigmented
• Drags slightly on the lips
• Wears for about 6 hours

Who Won? Less or Luxe?
It's incredibly hard to choose a winner between these two: YSL is so densely pigmented and BRIGHT, it's perfect for night wear, whereas the DB lipstick is more subdued making it perfect for day! I guess it comes down to personal choice and what you're going to be wearing that day.

YSL had the better formula of the two, and longer lasting power (you'd expect it to be better if you're paying $40 for it). However, for a $7 lipstick, Designer Brands have done a fantastic job!

Which one did you like better? Let me know in the comments!

EOTD- MAC "Woodwinked"

For this EOTD, I used MAC's "Woodwinked" as my inspiration to create a nice, shimmery, warm golden brown eye:

Products Used:

MAC Woodwinked all over lid

Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in "Ebloui" as contour

Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in "Emerveille" on brow bone

Napoleon Perdis China Doll Gel Liner

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara

I didn't line my bottom waterline either, to make the look more "day appropriate".

I then paired it with this pinky coral Rouge Coco Shine called "Evasion":

Do any of you have "Woodwinked"? Do you love it to death as much as I do!?

Another Lovely Lipstick- Chanel Aqualumiere #92 "Monte Carlo"

Another day, another Chanel lipstick.

This lovely lipstick is from Chanel's "Aqualumiere" range. It's incredibly hydrating and wears comfortably on the lips- kind of like a pigmented lip balm. This particular colour is a sheer red with gold micro shimmer throughout. It's a great if you want a red lip, but not "over the top" red.
