Summer Favorites / Lip Products

I love summer because I get to play with colorful makeup that had to be put in the back burner during fall and winter. It almost feels like new makeup without spending any extra money. My go-to lip colors for the season are pinks and of course corals, who's surprised? :) I also threw in some lighter/nude shades I'm currently loving which are definitely versatile enough to wear all year round. Without further ado, here they are!

Yaz mevsimini sevmemin nedenleriden biri kesinlikle sonbahar ve kis mevsimlerinde unuttugum rengarenk yaz urunlerimle tekrar kavusmamiz. Sanki hic para harcamadan, yeni makyaj malzemeleri almis gibi hissediyorum kendimi. Aslinda soylemeye pek gerek yok ama yazin ozellikle dudaklarda favori renklerim pembeler ve tabii ki de mercanlar, sasiran? :) Elbette aralara birkac acik, nude renk serpmeden olmaz. Lafi daha fazla uzatmadan, karsinizda bu yaza damgasini vuran dudak urunlerim!

YSL Gloss Pur - #2 - Pure Rose

Soooo on my way back from Istanbul, I had to stop by the amazing Duty Free Shop! I really wanted to pick up Chanel's Bronze Universel and to my surprise they didn't have it?! After hearing the bad news, I walked around to see if anything else will attract my attention. Honestly, I couldn't find a single thing I wanted from Chanel, Dior, Lancome...nothing. Then I ended up at the YSL counter and looked through the beautiful Rouge Voluptes, I initially picked up #2 & #7 but then put them back. While they were both gorgeous, I just didn't need 2 more lipsticks! What I need more of are lip glosses, I want to love them as much as everyone else lol So that's why I went for one!

Just like all other YSL lip products, Gloss Pur also comes in the classic and very luxurious gold packaging. 

I adore the little mirror that is on top of the Rouge Voluptes, so I was totally expecting to see one on my Rouge Pur as well. Unfortunately no mirror here. But the packaging is still glam and sleek at the same time. I love the squared bottle and the black and red YSL logo right on the front of the cap.

This shade is called Pure Rose. I would describe the color as a milky cotton candy-ish pink with a hint of coral/orange to it. There are a total of 12 shades in the Gloss Pur line. Pure Coral is definitely on my list!

For the most part, I prefer doe-foot applicators when it comes to lip glosses. Rouge Pur comes with a brush wand which is ok. Regardless, the fresh mango-scented gloss just glides on lips with ease. I am truly amazed by its consistency! It's not sticky at all, and leaves lips with a glossy, high shine sheen! I was informed that there is aloe vera involved in the formulation which is a bonus as aloe vera is known to smooth and soften skin while providing essential moisture. I think the color pay off is decent but it's definitely not the same color you see in the tube. Of course that depends on the pigmentation of your lips as well. I don't think it is the longest wearing lip gloss in the world but anyway I cannot think of a lip gloss that lasts for hours on lips, maybe I am not aware of it? On average it lasts about two hours or so on my lips, of course depending on your activities the length of staying power may slightly change.

I am very happy with my new lip gloss! I love the scent, the non-sticky finish, the color, everything! I believe it's one of those staple colors in every girl's collection since you can wear it practically anywhere! It comes with a not so pocket-friendly price tag; $30 for a .20oz tube. I did, however, buy it for $26 at Duty Free, score! :) It's not cheap but then again, it'll probably last me a long time since I only occasionally wear lip glosses.

Gloss Pur is available at yslbeautyus.com, Nordstrom and Sephora has few shades on their website.
