YSL Glossy Stains Overview


Here are my newest obsession!!! 

stain of color that the glossy stains leave behind :)

Here is my breakdown: 
Texture: This is kind of unlike any product I've felt before. It goes on like a silky gloss - begins mixing with your lip warmth, becoming a more tacky gloss texture, soon after feeling more like a creamsheen lipstick... then once it fades, it turns into a beautiful stain. This does not bother me, but I can see how if anyone does not like tacky feels, this could cause some discomfort on the lips. I can also see how this may be a bigger pain during the summertime as it does feel quite thick when it is first on your lips. Might make u sweat ;) 

Pigmentation: Pigmentation has been great. It gives a beautiful opaque color in two coats. I do have to warn you to try the colors before you go thinking you found your HG color, because the colors tend to be different on the lips than in swatches. 

Lasting Ability: This product has far beat any other product that I have ever tried! It lasts a whole whopping 10 hours through eating, drinking, talking, licking (lol jk)... maybe even kissing ?!? HAHA! I would say the product lasts on my lips about 5-6 hours then when the product fades, the tint lasts for a good many hours before finally disappearing. Many times at the end of the night, I had to physically take the product off :) 

Moisturization: It's a very hydrating product - as I will say again, it can come off as very thick. So I think this may be something to think about in the summertime or for those that like more of a thin, slippy lip product. 

Smell: It has a slight alcoholic (hand sanitizerish) scent to me with some fruity smells. It doesn't smell bad at all - it smells very similar to YSL lip products. 

Price: Whopping $32.00 for a .2 fl oz product. Hey, at least it has a shelf life of 2 years ;) 

For swatches of the product, refer to my previous blogposts:

YSL Glossy Stains #5 and #20 Swatches

Here are the highly coveted YSL Glossy Stains. I have some more for ya! 


I also have these two babies in #5 and #20 :D 


Here are the swatches for #5 and #20. 

#20 is a wonderful neutral red color, perfect for glam or everyday wear with a hint of shimmer.
#5 is a really beautiful mauvey, berry color perfect for the cooler weather or for a night out.


As I've said before - I usually don't do lip swatches, but I found that these are more authentic and true to color when applied on the lips. Also you can see the color really shine!!! AND this time around, I put on some lip balm for my naked lips ;)

#20:
Picture 1: Naked Lips
Picture 2: 2 coats of #20
Picture 3: No more balm-y texture on lips - the stain it leaves afterwards!



#5:
Picture 1: Naked Lips
Picture 2: 2 coats of #5 (this is a deeper color on lips than in swatch)  
Picture 3: No more balm-y texture on lips - the stain it leaves afterwards!




I'm not sure if you noticed... but did you see how in the lip swatches where I have the product on my lips, I pout my lips a bit more? LOL what a ham! 

Are you convinced yet? Go get yours today!!! 
You can pick them up at Sephora or Nordstrom :)
