I’ve meaning to do this post since I bought the YSL glossy lip stains in my Hawaii haul! Click here to see my Hawaii haul-age.
These lip products are quite revolutionary- it has a high gloss finish but the long wearing properties of a lip stain. On application, the texture is thin but within a few minutes, the product starts to feel a bit thicker and ‘gummy’ on the lips (which I love! less slip and no feathering).
One should also note that these colours deepen when on the lips, they appear more vibrant than in the tube or in swatches. Also a big round of applause for the applicator, which can be described as an angular bristle doe foot, providing greater precision (no need for lipliners with these!)
I think it’s fair to say that I’ve engaged in love affair with YSL Glossy Stains. Below are lip swatches of the four colours I own, as well as full face pictures.
YSL Glossy Stain #15 Rose Vinyl: A cool toned, medium pink.
YSL Glossy Stain #5 Rouge Vintage: A pinkish mauve shade.
YSL Glossy Stain #11 Rouge Gouache: A red shade that looks fuchsia on me once the gloss wears off.
YSL Glossy stain #1 Violet Edition: A deep plum
Any readers own any YSL Glossy Stains? Which? I’m wanting more so let me know which shades you love!

OMG you are looking so good with all of them! I'd love to get a few but the YSL scent totally puts me off.
ORLY? I love the smell, actually! But I'm easy to please, smell-wise.

all these shades look so good on you. i think i like rouge vintage and violet edition best. great swatches! very helpful.
Love the shades on you! How long do they stay on your lips?
They’re awesome products! Definitely a standout from the past year. They last VERY well on my lips, the gloss hangs around for two hours and the stain remains through two meals!

29 is my favorite. It is universally flattering. It has been discontinued, but you can find it on ebay.
