Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volpute Shine # 25 Review

As an award-winning lip make-up product, YSL Rouge Volpute Shine satisfies all my requests for a dreaming lip product. I got my first YSL Rouge Volpute Shine in 2012, then I could not stop my love for the product line.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volpute Shine # 25 C$39.00 0.15oz

The brand uses gold for most of their lipstick packages with the YSL logo in the center. Rouge Volpute Shine is still using the same package as the Rouge Volpute does. The Rouge Volpute Shine is more moisturizing than the original Rouge Volpute.It produces very creamy, smooth feeling on my lips. It produces a fruity smell sometimes cure me after a long working day. Because my lips are dry, I usually prefer lip gloss products than lipsticks. This product changes my opinion toward lipsticks. The product hydrates your lips and makes it soft. It is also perfectly pigmented on my lip. The color it produces on your lip is exactly the same color you see the lipstick.

This is the YSL Rouge Volpute Shine No 25 on my lip. It is redder than it appears on the photo. 
The only thing I find could be a shortage of the product is the lasting. It lasts on my lips for about 2 hours. After eating or drinking, the color disappears.

My acne treatment


 
My acne treatment
Acne is the worst thing that can happen to a girl or a guy. It affects your confidence and looks. Constant break outs, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and greasy skin are awful!!! Plus the scarring you get after destroys the firmness of skin and adds dull and red unhealthy look. I wanted to get rid of acne REALLY BADLY and I have tried everything!!!
The core of the problem was – MY REALLY POOR LIFESTYLE
  • Poor nutrition
  • Lack of exercises
  • Lack of sleep
  • A lot of stress

All those things messed up my hormones.
I am not a skin expert, these are simply the things that worked for me and I would love to share my experience with everyone.
How I treat my acne now:
  1. To stabilize my hormone system I take birth control pills.
  2. To prevent future breakout I use BenzaClin gel (doctor’s prescription).
  3. To get rid of scars, redness, help my skin heal and look healthy I use all natural Hemp Oil.
  4. I exercise! Trust me, it’s very important! That’s when it all actually started working and my acne started to disappear – only when I became active.
  5. I avoid fast food, greasy food, and unhealthy food.
  6. I have regular sleep.
  7. I have taught myself no to stress out – I will not allow worry to take control over me.
  8. Have patience. It will take you a while to get clear skin.

Nutiva HEMP Oil
Is a miracle treatment that I have discovered for myself. I applythe oil on my face every night before bed. It really helps in getting rid of scars and red marks! The oil creates smooth of skin, increased stamina, speed healing, and calms your skin ($24.20 on Amazon)
Moreover, I apply hemp oil on my nails and they started growing better – my nails are stronger and longer.
Hemp Oil is a REAL DEAL and is worth to try.

My doctor prescribedBenzaClin gel for preventing acne and it works. But if I stop using it, the acne comes back L I am pretty scared to stop, so I went back and got another prescription for it, so I’m on my second bottle.

However, all these things started really working after I started exercising! It’s true. I started going to the gym, I do a lot of skiing and being active really helped my metabolism and improved my sleeping habits and as a result reduces acne.

How to get soft lips...naturally!

  • Exfoliate your lips at least twice a week. Dab a finger in water, then in sugar and exfoliate your lips by rubbing the sugar on them. Wipe the sugar off your lips and apply a lip balm.
  • Apply lip balm in the night before sleeping and leave overnight. Wake up to soft pink lips. Avoid lip balms with dyes and artificial ingredients. Always opt for those with natural ingredients.


Try Burt’s Bees Chap stick.


















  • Drink lots of water and take juices with vitamin C as dehydration can also cause lack of luster on lips. Water or juices hydrate the body, nourishes the skin and aids new cell growth. Dry lips are also one of the signs that the body is not getting properly hydrated.

  • Eat fruits and vegetables that are red in color. For example, tomatoes and strawberries, as they help deposit the color in the skin, making lips pink.

  • Lips tend to darken due to exposure to the sun. Use a balm with SPF 15. Make sure to wear lip protection when going outdoors. Many lipsticks and lip glosses contain SPF 15.

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Tint-In-Oil No.1 and No.7 Review


The new product line for Yves Saint Laurent in 2015!

Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Tint-In-Oil C$35.00 (before tax) 0.2oz
Being a fan of YSL for years, I am very excited to post my first YSL product review, and the first article of the blog to share my review for the brand new product of YSL, the Volupte Tint-In-Oil. The new product line contains 8 shades for now. I purchased shade No.1 and shade No.7.


 











The product is very similar with the YSL Gloss Volpute from both the package and the brush.














My lip is very dry with deep lines, so I would prefer nourishing lip products rather than pigmented lip products. The product, as its name “oil”, is oil fluid. Unlike many of the other gloss products in the market, the Tint-In- Oil is not sticky at all.




 

This is the No.7 shade on my lip.


This is the No.1 shade on my lip. It contains very tiny sparkles which make you look energetic.


The products are very smooth and producing comfortable and lightweight feelings on my lips. It keeps my lips soft and moisture for a long time. The product also produces a fruity smell as the other YSL lip products. It is very good for dry lips especially in winter. If you are looking for extra care for your lips, this is the right product for you. And the lip oil is very long lasting and it feels like a protection for your lips. I wear it the whole afternoon and it does not dry out on my lip.
I bought the No.7 and received No.1 as a gift from my friend. They look exactly the same on my lip which make me a little upset, but it is such a sweet gift. If you are considering purchasing one, try it before you make a decision. The product actually changes color after wearing it.I would suggest you wear it for 10 to 15 minutes to see how the color actually appears on your lip if you want to test the product. And you can also wipe off the oil after 10 minutes to see the color left on your lip. (The No.7 shade is actually a pink color after swiping it.)

Some of the shades ( the No.1 is just an example) are too light to produce colors on lips. The whole product line are full of light shades. If your lip color is a bit deep, I suggest you try it on your lip before actually purchase it. If you prefer deep colors or pigmented products, this product line might not be your type.
