Yves Saint Laurent Rebel Nudes Glossy Stain

The YSL glossy stains are one of my favourite lip products. Glossy without being sticky they possess a wonderful mutable quality, blending seamlessly with my lips natural colour to create a unique pop of colour . I'm tough on my lip products, copious cups of coffee, bottled water and snacking throughout the day, and these little gems last for about 3-4 hours on me. Not the most long-lasting, but a cinch to reapply, the doe foot applicator makes it easy peasy. I usually don't even need a mirror, just a quick swipe while I'm at my desk at work. 

I was excited when I heard a new sub-range was being released, the 'Rebel Nudes.' I popped off to Myer and bought one to trial.

The Rebel Nudes range includes ten new shades.  They differ from the originals, they're more translucent and these contain a hint of shimmer.  102 Corail Mutin swatches as a pink-toned peach with a soft sparkle. 

Here it is on my lips.

The flash photo shows a hint of the sparkle that's specific to the Rebel Nudes. They feel, smell and yes, taste, just like the originals. It wears for about 3 hours on me, and fades evenly.

All in all, I love it.  The shimmer is subtle but adds a little something extra and the colour works with my natural pigment to create a really natural but enhanced lip. I've ordered two more (106 and 109) and will review them soon.

If you're looking for a colour punch, stick to the original range, but if you're looking for something to pair with a smoky or vibrant eye, definitely give these a try.

I bought mine for a whopping $50AUD.  Nordstrom and Saks have the range for $34USD.
