*Yves Rocher Grand Rouge lipstick

Hello my lovelies! Today I'd like to show you a gorgeous lipstick I got at the Yves Rocher event in December. We each got a little paper 'bag' if you will, with a lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow (eye pigment) inside. Some of us got this beautiful red lipstick (it's called Gourmand Red/Rouge Gourmand) and some a lovely purple shade. 

The lipstick comes in a lovely golden bullet/casing that opens and shuts securely. It has a nice, almost sweet scent, but nothing overpowering so I think it wouldn't bother those who prefer scentless lipsticks. It's a very pigmented lipstick - one swipe and you're done. It glides nicely on the lips, does not accentuate dry patches/areas and feels moisturizing. It has a creamy, almost silky texture in my opinion and I really like that - I absolutely despise dry lipsticks that tug on the lips. Because of this nice texture it gives a lovely, subtle sheen to the lips, it's not glossy but definitely not matte.

As far as the staying power goes I would say it's quite nice. I've worn it to a family/pre-Christmas dinner and it held on very well whilst I ate and drank (though I ended up removing it because I was afraid I would get it all over my glass, hands, face... you know). It does not appear to stain the lips and can be removed quite easily. I can't tell you anything about it bleeding around the lips, since I never (dare) to wear a red lipstick without a lip liner (on the pictures bellow I'm wearing it over NYX lip liner in Plush Red).

All in all I have to say I really like this lipstick. I like how it feels and looks on my lips, I think the shade really suits me and I don't have anything bad to say about it really. I would love to try out some other shade from their selection. :)

If you'd like to try out this lipstick, go and check it out in one of Yves Rocher stores or on-line. For my Slovenian readers - go and check it out here (it's currently 20% off). For my international readers, go and take a look at it here.
