Lipgloss \\ Yves Saint Lauren

The Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss Lip glosses are a product that I keep going back to. I got my first one a few years ago, and since then, every time one runs out (or just as a treat) I go out and get myself another because I love them so much. They are the best lip glosses I've tried, and are definitely a favourite.

They come in a variety of colours, mainly quite pinky shades, and (as the name would suggest) they have a gold tint to them. This is because they have golden flakes in them which makes them shimmer and reflect on your lips which I think looks gorgeous. The colours I have on my hand (from left to right) are (I think - I'm having to guess as it doesn't say on the bottle) shade 49, a purpley colour, 40, Golden Impertinence, and 15, Golden Berry. My favourite of the ones I have is Golden Impertinence because it is the most natural, and I'm not very good with bright bright lips - it makes me feel self-conscious but I am getting better!

Golden Berry is a strong colour and makes a big statement. Because of that, I generally prefer to wear it with quite natural eyes so as not to draw attention away from it. I think it is more suited to evening events and going out somewhere quite nice as a pose to Golden Impertinence which is perfect for everyday wear and can be used to compliment bold eyes. Bear in mind, none of them are ever going to look very natural as they are lipgloss and very shimmery and sparkly.

If you aren't keen on stickier lip glosses then stay well away from these. They are probably the stickiest lip glosses I've tried, but not in a bad way. I'm not saying they stick your lips together or make them 'sweet sticky' if you know what I mean - it's a 'pleasant' sticky. I'm not sure how much sense that made, but I tried my best. The consistency means that they do stay put and, for lip glosses, are quite long lasting BUT they come with a price. At £22 a pop from Debenhams they're not cheap but they last a long time. To have bold, defined lips you only need a swipe of these and you're set, so you don't have layer over and over to get a good colour.

I will continue to love these and buy them and use them up as they are my absolute favourite lip glosses. I adore them in every way, I just wish they were cheaper so I could buy more, more, more.
